I thought I could speak English, but clearly I can't do it at all. Now I'm curious - how many of you can? How many of the ESL speakers?

Thank you eponine119 for the link!

Several of you have taken my pro-fanfic quiz. This makes me happy. :-) For some reason, there are large variations on how many people have answered each question, ranging from 4 to 9. Unwillingness to guess?

Anyway, here are the answers. If you want, you can still take the quiz and check the answers later.

I have compared the Supernatural boys to Macken's Roy & Roger before (Dean is Roy, Sam is Roger), but this clip really proves it. *laughs self silly* I am sorely tempted to make a vid, except I know that the people who'd get the joke are far fewer than the people who'd go, "I don't see what Supernatural has to do with Macken..." Besides, how could ( Read more... )

For those of you who still haven't seen her, I want to remind everyone and myself that metro.co.uk has Nemi comic strips online - just keep pressing "previous" and you will find heaps of them.

After all the talking I've done about my favourite Goth girl in the whole world, how could you possibly refuse to take a peek?

jadelennox and I had one of those fun conversation that started with yuletide and moved on to the etymology of mazel tov, the number of religious vs. sexual curses in Sweden, the use of the word "fucking" in a movie title, said movie, and gay rights in Sweden vs. the US. (We win, yay! OTOH, that's not exactly hard ( Read more... )

First there were silly cat pics that made me laugh my ass off. Am particularly fond of "I made you a cookie, but I eated it," and "invisible bike". (Thanks to viggorlijah for pointing it out.) That site, I've been pimping to people left and right.

Now there's a way of cleaning your screen from the insideAm officially dead of cute. And pimping like crazy. Go ( Read more... )

I figured there are probably enough people on my friends list who likes Tom Lehrer or roleplaying or both for me to simply have to share his Dungeons and Dragons parody. It has every cliché in the book, and it's really funny, says I.

roseveare has uploaded episode 13 of Doyle Investigations, "Hall of Mirrors", which makes me happy in more than one way because for the first time, I actually wrote something there. Okay, so I wrote exactly one scene. (The middle one in chapter 4.) She, Mike Dewar and catecumen wrote the rest, so it's still the same DI we all know and love.

Following my recent obsession-post about Jake 2.0, here's another. Thanks to roseveare, I've discovered that calendae has uploaded the episode Training Day. It's sadly ep 2, not ep 1, but I'm pretty sure you can all understand what's going on anyway ( Read more... )

For those of you who care about that sort of thing, my brother has posted some adorable pics of his baby. If baby is the word - wow, kid's gone huge. It seems he's grown even in these few weeks since they moved to Argentina.

And while you're there, do check out the rest of the website as well, because it's quite nice. It has some of the music ( Read more... )
