WOT??  No.  NO.  I DO NOT LIKE THIS.

In the course of searching for OOH MISTER CHRESTOMANCI (for reasons that go beyond - while still taking into account - my unending amusement), I came across Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star.  Oh god, what have I found?  THAT PICTURE, YOU GUYS.  DID YOU LOOK AT THAT PICTURE?!?!!??!

Another lesson for today: It is apparently possible to have a several- ( Read more... )

How is it that the only thing I ever remember about "Doomed" - if I bother to remember it exists at all - is that Riley winds up in the library at SHS, when in actuality all good things come from it?  That episode is 100% pure, undiluted awesome in convenient 1-hour dramedy form.  Aside from that weird overdubbing thing with Giles at the beginning ( Read more... )

Hey, so, does anyone happen to know of a scholarly source that discusses the origins of Gurkha kukri knives?  Unfortunately, Wikipedia and eBay listings don't qualify.

So, second time through "Once More with Feeling" was much better than the first.  Knowing how everything works (or doesn't work, in most cases) out, I was able to look at it less as part of a continuing story and more as Whedony genre commentary.  Of course, for the same reasons, I was also able to look at it objectively as part of said continuing ( Read more... )

I love you, Terry.

I also love that Simon Harper was Tristan Rogers.  Now I have this urge to watch Rescuers Down Under.

Add this one to the Freaky Weird Coincidences of 2011 list* - I found this in that issue of Damage ( Read more... )

While watching "Excaliber" this evening, I found myself contemplating the fact that I want to do something noteworthy entirely so someone will make a movie about my life entirely so Anthony Stewart Head can play my father.
