Dean: What do you think, Scully, want to check it out?
Sam: I'm not Scully, you're Scully.
Dean: No, I'm Mulder. You're a red-headed woman.
New episode, YAY. YAY. Did I mention the big feeling 'o YAY-ness? True story: today I had to give a presentation to my Intro to Computers class on how to build a webpage. Bare bones HTML, basic text, background color change. Step by step. Really simple.
This is the web page.
Granted, it looks horrific and plain but getting the chance to pimp Supernatural to a class? Priceless. Possiblity of being labeled a dork by your peers? Big. Yep. See? Learning and fandom! Oh how they meet and cuddle some times! And cuddle with dramatic lighting and smoke, too, see that's the kicker.

New picture of Sirius & Harry in OotP. Wonder when they'll have one of Remus. Unless they have had one and I've missed out on the inevitable blended icons. I feel like re-reading OotP before I see the movie; I think I might've re-read the books before GoF but I don't remember. Doing it for OotP would be good though because I've only read the book twice? Maybe twice. Probably just the one time. For obvious reasons.

My Feminist Sci-Fi class is one of my favorite classes ever because we basically meta all the time and 75% of the things we discuss I just come away with and apply to life, fandom, and everything in between. One of the ongoing themes in the Sci-Fi books we discuss is the idea of female rights and female societies. A good example of this is Charlotte Perkins Gilman's Herland, in which three male explorers discover a country consisting entirely of women. The men died off thousands of years before and ohnoes! society continued without the males? Preposterous! say the men (at least, the Mysogynistic Male does, there's a happy medium dude named Van -- I've always liked that name -- and another man who thinks of women as these delicate, gentle, pretty things). Point is, books we've read prior and after this one, we've discussed this topic. Why is it that it's easier to imagine a female utopia rather than a male one? We did discuss the possibility of a male one and one student thought of writing a short story based on that concept which just leads me to wonder about it.
ETA: To link to a nice David Bowie picspam. And now my night is almost complete! :)
