Okay, well, I made some icons and got a couple of packages in the mail.  Other than that, this week has been a wash ( Read more... )

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 finished the second season of Millennium last night.  The more I think about it, the more cheesed off I am.  I mean, we only had four recurring female characters to begin with: the embodiment of evil, the main character's estranged wife who is villainised at every turn, the main character's six-year-old daughter, and a co-worker of sorts who I ( Read more... )

Two compelling reasons I should probably not be allowed to watch anymore BtVS or Angel for a while:

1) I almost didn't get up this morning because, as I remember very clearly thinking when the alarm went off the first time*, "I don't want to read Spike comics right now, so I'll just disable this noisy thing."  Luckily, a few seconds after crawling ( Read more... )

librarian_byday did it, so it must be the cool thing to do.  Even though I feel like I've done most of these questions in at least a couple of previous memes...

Comment and I'll . . .

1. Something I'll learn about you by looking at your LJ page for 13 seconds.
2. Which color you remind me of.
3. My first memory of you.
4. What TV character you remind me of.
5. Ask you ( Read more... )

I'll very shortly be posting the latest entry in the Win Stuff series, but I thought I would first give a rundown of the ways I entertained myself this weekend.

( Books and movies and games, oh my! )

I watched Hot Fuzz with the Fuzz Facts turned on this weekend.  That was one of the most enjoyable things I've done in some time.  I also watched "Shimmer," which is still one of my favourite Smallville episodes - Lex does such a good job of dealing with a really delicate situation; when he offers to foot the bill for therapy, I still melt.  And I ( Read more... )

As I said in my previous post, for a number of reasons both personal and practical, both story-driven and Real Life-related, I will be waiting until this year's Doctor Who episodes are released on DVD to view the episodes after "Mark Gatiss Sells The Doctor's Soul to George Lucas."

Meanwhile, shortly after I settled on this solution, Shakesville ( Read more... )

It has been a long time since I've watched some of the stories I touch on in this, and I didn't do a whole lot of brushing-up research because I just didn't have the time, so please correct me on anything I've gotten wrong. The vitriol is three parts "Mindwarp" and two parts brushing up on feminist theory over the past week (which is not to say ( Read more... )

This has been fomenting for several months and has its basis in continuing disagreements with my good friend Captain Chaotica!!, as well as a portion of the extended uber-geek conversation between bizarreoptimism and myself a couple of weeks ago. As much as a reply/follow up to those, though, this is a position paper/explanation for my own purposes, because I' ( Read more... )
