There's a new Dr Who logo, so obviously fandom is having a collective spasm over it. I get the people bitching about not liking it aesthetically - personally, I like it (especially the Tardis part), but different things work for different people, whatever - but the people complaining about the change for being a change at all are goddamn ridiculous ( Read more... )

Rented another couple of movies over the weekend ... our new apartment is within walking distance of the Hollywood Video, and holy crap that is going to kill me. I will have quadruple digit video rental fees for life. anyway, we rented Smiley Face and Cabaret, and we also went to see Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay

*sigh* is there a multi-fandom digest journal out there? metafandom is one, occasionally, but lately it's lapsed entirely into bitching about the stupid no-child-pron crisis, and I just don't care about that shit anymore. I don't care about "meta" at all in the sense of fans discussing each other and fandom and ect. I want to read/talk about the ( Read more... )
