So, the background is this: I'm part of a death pool, as morbid as it may seem. I get news alerts when people die so that I can keep track of who's ahead in points (I don't know how I got nominated to be scorekeeper, but I did). And it's starting to make me hate humanity because every time there's a news report about someone dying, I get an ( Read more... )

• Why is Fed-Ex holding my package hostage? If it arrived on Saturday, and was scanned again this morning at 12:20 a.m., why is the estimated deliveyr date Wednesday?
  
  
• If John Sheppard was only allowed one - 1 - personal item, and he picked the Flutie Hail Mary football game, where exactly did his copy of War and Peace come from? (Though, I have ( Read more... )

You know my favorite typo? When someone forgets the "e" on the end of "tube", as in "tube of lube", so that it becomes a "tub of lube".

I was also bored enough that I did outlines for the next three chapters of the story that shall not be named, but that's neither here nor there. Fanfiction is the downfall of modern humanity ( Read more... )

I nearly had a run-in with some bad!fic, which I thankfully avoided. I got linked on metafandom for my rant about SGA sexism, which I did not thankfully avoid ( Read more... )

I'm afraid that it's finally happened. I've read all the most recent NC-17 rated John/Rodney stories. Like, all of them, all the ones posted over the last several months. Now I'm going to have to go back to trawling Wraithbait's archives. The hardship ( Read more... )

Man, I really like Portland. I like the rain, the trees, the general awesomeness of my city ( Read more... )

Sadly, this list is not about holiday gifts, but the things I most hate about iTunes. A rant which I shall title: "I really, really miss SoundJam. ::wails pathetically::" or "Hate hate hate, McHatey hate on iTunes."

Today's discoveries:

• You can type the word "stargate" with one hand (the left one [assuming you know how to touch type]).
  
• There is such a thing as bad gay porn. But it's still worth watching anyway, because attractive naked men sexxing it up is still fun to see. You just have to do it with the sound off.
