Rather than use a specific meme, I'm just gonna talk about whatever the hell comes out of my head for this look back at my life in 2012.  Feel free to take the format if you wish.  (I sense how badly LJ wants to fuck up this post for me.  I really do. HTML better work)  LJ didn't screw up! Wow.

( 2012 Resolutions: How I Did )

In theory, I could get behind an organization like the Parents Television Council (PTC). It would be helpful to parents to have a more detailed guide about the graphic nature of television and movies. And as someone who despises having to watch a movie with lots of naughty shit with young children and their dumb ass parents, I really like the ( Read more... )

I give in.  Last time I wrote a fic based on minimal spoilers for a television show was Share Offices, not Feelings, and that was such a rush to finish before the House episode aired, that I really didn't - and don't - want to do that ever again.  But this idea in my mind just will NOT go away.  And it's gotten so bad that I can't concentrate on ( Read more... )

I am FINALLY fucking finished with this stupid chapter of Edge of Chaos.  Final word count?  27,529.  That shit took FOREVER, even though I was writing about 2k a day like it was November and I was Nanowrimoing or some shit.  And even when I wasn't writing it, it was staying with me.  I was dreaming my stupid chapter... particularly my stupid ( Read more... )

1). Just to clarify, I'm not against covers completely. My rule is that if you're going to make a cover, you have to add something. There has to be an exploration of something, of some facet that we haven't already seen by the original artist or a different cover artist. And at the same time, you can't take away from the original material. So ( Read more... )

I had a lot of fun writing last week's post-Top Model post, so I think I'm going to make it a thing, LOL.   At the end of the cycle, it'll be nice to go back and see all the ways Tyra Banks has rotted my brain.  ;-)  But first, I must make a correction to last week's post where I said that Tyra had called herself the "Goddess of Fierceness."  I was ( Read more... )

America's Next Top Model is BACK.  Seriously, f-list, there is nothing quite so informative as an hour with Tyra Banks.   Where else would you learn all of the diagnostic criteria for someone who needed to be committed the following:

1).  This competition isn't about finding the "prettiest" girl; it's about educating the public, per Tyra's own ( Read more... )

Forget Milk and Slumdog Millionaire.  Forget Revolutionary Road and Wall-E.  Because once you see this particular movie, you will know that everyone else has been merely dabbling in the art of cinema and cannot compare to the masterpiece that is... The Curse of Lizzie Borden 2: Prom Nite.

I don't know how widespread the name "Lizzie Borden" goes, ( Read more... )

As if I didn't feel already like a younger Julie Cooper-Nichol, I have to say the following.  It doesn't surprise me that Thirteen doesn't speak "hair band;" someone that perpetually mopey due to their own self-involvement and false sense of self-importance and intelligence really never could see the appeal of something that's all about fun and NOT ( Read more... )
