I updated the guide to experimental formatting per the excellent advice of sailorptah and zvi_likes_tv, although I am still not sure how people found out about it in the first place, but anyway it is a better version now!
Yesterday I went to see Daybreakers with a friend and I - mostly liked it? It was nice to see vampires die in the sun, anyway (although the cure was frankly ludicrous), but bits of the end really gave me the squick, I have a thing about death by the masses. DDDDD: (Truth to be told, this is one time I am grateful for misogyny in the movies/military, because if there had been any female soldiers in those last couple of scenes, I would have had to leave the theater and possibly throw up.)
Also, Sam Neill is fucking freaky as a vampire.
Since reading linkspams is apparently one of my kinks, I was very glad to see linkspam come back and start supplying links! I definitely recommend the LGBTQ linkspams, as it is probably relevant to many people's interests; Iiiiiii probably tend more to the fail in these things*, but that only means it behooves me to work to improve. Lots of worthwhile reading among those links, some less worthwhile, anyway, go read!
I should have brought my headphones to school so I could watch more Doctor Who. D:
ETA: I am kind of puzzled by this entry that I read off a linkspam, because, um, I really doubt that Jews could be members of the Roman upper class in the first century CE. I mean, I just double-checked with a quick search to make sure there were Jews in Rome at all and there were, but like - I'm pretty sure that even if the emperor of the moment is friendly to you and you can has business privileges and whatever, you can't be an upper-class Roman. A Roman citizen, sure! A senator/patrician/equestrian? Probably not. But Roman social classes are not my thing, so anyone more familiar with them, please jump in!
*CANDID CONFESSION: The last book by a gay man about gay male experience that I read was (I think) An Arrow's Flight, and it was an excellent book overall, but it made me sad in some ways that I don't think the author intended and was definitely not the sort of story I want to write. Which is okay, I guess, since I'm not a gay man (either cis or trans), don't claim to be, and don't claim to write gay literature either, but that does put me closer to the fail end of the spectrum than the "doin it rite" end.
