the internet: gayer than you think! (well, maybe not some of you)
Oh gosh, soooo much internets to catch up on. I managed the People filter (skip=160) and half of the Fandom filter (skip=280 to skip=100, augh) but I haven't even got started on Comics and Misc. And that's just livejournal! So here is a partial list of cool stuff wot happened while I was away.
In the World, blah blah economy blah blah, yes, I know, that is why my dad is currently alternating between staring gloomily at Seek.com's Engineering filter and answering phone calls from angry Boost Your Stamina customers who want their money back because they totally failed to read the fine print. But at least our government hasn't collapsed yet - hey there Iceland. Well, it can't be that bad if the headline eschews economic references for details of the new leader's sexual orientation, eh?
In Fandom there was a Porn Battle in which James Bond featured with a) Michael Weston and b) Jack Harkness but not, alas, both at once. Possibly for the best, as I fear the screen would melt from the combined testosterone even trapped in prose. Also, bandombigbang closed writer signups! I can't wait till the end of April when I can get started on my mixing madness!
Musically speaking, we have: Amanda Palmer Does Radiohead (in a cab) and My Chemical Romance Does Bob Dylan (in a punk rock Watchmen dystopia) and both of these are wonderful in completely different ways! (Whenever I mention that last one to RL people, it's even odds they know/appreciate Watchmen OR Bob Dylan OR My Chemical Romance, but combinations are unlikely...) (Double entendre? I'd read both!) (...time travel, not zombies) (...zombie Bob Dylan would actually be kind of awesome, you know... in a non-slashy context :P) (and I'm going to see Amanda Palmer in a few weeks!)
...for crying out loud, this post wasn't meant to be Maggie's Queerish Bulletin. Oh well, as long as it's turned out that way I'll just tack on that I miss my girlfriend, Stephen Colbert gets more flaming by the second and I'm to be one of the "security" (read: traffic-directing) volunteers for Mardi Gras in March. They keep sending emails round going "you guys we still need moar people :(" so does anyone want to tag along? That's pretty much how I got involved :P - Cassie's friend Jack said essentially the same thing and I went "why not?" (my life philosophy!) I'm told there are discount party tickets involved, or something.
Tomorrow: tales of drunken scrabble, malevolent waves and snakes on a plane!
