Random Things on a Saturday

1) I was reading an article on animal sentience in an old (March 2008) issue of National Geographic, and I still find it extraordinary that science needs to be convinced of this. Observation alone is not science -- I understand that -- and proof is something different altogether, as is anthropomorphising. BUT.

Well, of course, "but." I know Petey

I have no logical explanation for this Torchwood thing, and I wish to hell I did. Partially, a definite crux of events with the job hoopla and all the disposable time; though, I have no idea why exactly I was so drawn into the Torchwood fandom rather than "Doctor Who." I suppose because Torchwood was more sophisticated, maturity-wise.

And then there are those teeth... I admit it, if The Rock had a fandom, I might be in it. (Ok, ok, having said that, I'm sure there *is* a Rock fandom, and I probably wouldn't be caught dead in it.) I'm a sucker for an amazing pair of teeth.

Strangely, I never contemplated the joys of slash before, and I think part of the fascination with Torchwood is that it's really the first time I've been that I've been drawn into the emotional relationship of a M/M romance, and I'm kind of fascinated by it.

I think this fanfiction is the easiest, most satisfying way exploring that sort of story without too much of the more political GLBT issues taking focus away.

I really feel fan-poetry is mostly an abomination and contrary to everything good and decent in the world.

WORD.

I can only see a play as a successful (or not) collection of parts.

I *do* see what you mean about that, but I actually have a lot more difficulty seeing past bad grammar and punctuation. I like hearing other people's point of views, mostly; though I do admit when I read something REALLY great, I enjoy it less than I could because I wish I'd written it, or because I know it's better than I have done myself.

That's terrible but quite true, actually.
