sorrow and gladness
I've been meaning to post this for a while. I know some people think this is sheeplike but I don't really care.
Please post this if you know someone (or are related to someone) who is a idiot. Idiots affect the lives of many. There is still no known cure for stupidity, but we can raise awareness ... 93% wont Copy and Paste this, will you?
Is there truly anyone of adult age who doesn't know someone with cancer or who died from cancer? My first exposure was at eleven when my maternal grandmother died of lung cancer, despite never having smoked a cigarette. My grandfather did, though, and it took him less than ten years later with lung cancer that spread to the brain. Two of my dad's older brothers died of cancer in the last decade, as well.
Moving on to more depressing things. Haiti.
I'm offering fic writing for auction at help_haiti, four fics, starting bids of $5, in Buffy, Batbooks, Smallville, HP and SPN.
Link to my thread.
I'll be personally giving through the UUSC, an organization I support anyway and which I trust to get the money and supplies needed to the parties that need them. I'll probably give through Mercy Corps as well, as I supported their efforts after Katrina, as well.
Anything you can give can help. Even the $5-$10 text calls add up.
And if you support what that asshat Pat Robertson said, you can leave my LJ now, please.
In somewhat happier news, after struggling for the first half, KU came on strong at Nebraska and won. Leverage returned and Christian looked gorgeous and all smirky. Batgirl rocked like a strong rocking thing. And I was able to wear only a cardigan and scarf last night to church, it was that warm.
I'm up to episode 2.6 of Merlin. Is it wrong of me to want to shove realism into this show regarding master/servant relationships? Because Gwen would SO not be a virgin and it would be expected for Arthur to make merry with the maids. Chances are Morgana would have been raped by the bandits that captured her (Gwen certainly would have been). Etc. etc.
Maybe I've read too many historical romance novels.
And, I'm sorry, but Uther hasn't been with a woman since his wife died in childbirth?! Give me a break! He's a king!
Three day weekend coming up for me. I will do some writing, I promise. Also I will see Sherlock Holmes or die trying.
The snow is melting. There's actually patchy bits of driveway showing. It's supposed to be in the upper 40s most of the weekend and next week. Finally!
Well, that work thing...
