Laurence Fishburne, wife expecting baby

Why do we care if Laurence Fishburne is having a baby, you might ask? Well, because the gorgeous lady who's carrying it is Gina Torres!

Now...who thinks they oughta name the baby Hoban? *g*

Does anyone either know the exact wording or have the DVD so they can get me the exact wording of Elliot's whole speech about going to college, from "Sophomore Jinx"? As stupid as it sounds, and as much as it just confirms my parents' (not-incorrect) belief that I'm obsessed with SVU, I've found that his whole thought process and argument in that ( Read more... )

So, World AIDS Day is over once again. I feel weird: this was the first year since I got into Sen fandom that I didn't read April Valentine's "World AIDS Day" (the first year, someone recced it; the second, I read it not realizing what the date was; by the third year, it had become tradition). I also didn't really do much about it, other than ( Read more... )

Ok, here's the deal: my Sociology paper--on the topic of fanfic, and specifically on the topic of the deviance of slash fiction--was supposed to be due last Tuesday. However, due to illness (mine, not the prof's), the deadline was extended indefinitely. Now, since I can only work under deadline, I'm totally procrastinating and not getting anything ( Read more... )

Ok, so I was just watching Dustin Hoffman on David Letterman, and he was talking (very briefly) about his new movie, in which Will Farrell discovers that there's a writer in his head...a writer who is known for killing off all her characters. And I got to wondering...is this what our characters feel like? What if there really is a "Jim Ellison" or ( Read more... )

For anyone interested in a con rundown from Garett Maggart Over Here (the recent UK convention that had GM as the guest), fluterbev has posted a great one: Fluterbev's GMOH report. It sounds like it was a lot of fun. *states the obvious*

Ok, y'all can blame this one on the folks over at sg1cascadeicons (where, by the way, I won third place in this week's contest for my icon...my first-ever entry! *geeks out*). Or more specifically, y'all can blame mirnell, if for no other reason than the more I hang out with her, the more I say "Y'all"! *g ( Read more... )

Well, the Mets are out of it. Again. But I really do believe that it was a great season. It was fun, and exciting, and we went nearly all the way. And Reyes is such a puppy dog, and Wright is adorable. But still, I am sad that we lost, though not as sad as I would have been if we'd just laid down and died during the ninth. And at least I'm less ( Read more... )

Do any of my Mark Harmon-loving friends (or any of my other friends, for that matter!) have "Chicago Hope" on tape or DVD? I'm looking for it in general (Damn you, mirnell!), but specifically, I'm looking for the episodes "Absent Without Leave" and "Tantric Turkey" because not only do they both have Mark Harmon (ooh, and in that outfit in "AWOL"? Yum!), ( Read more... )

Bach's "Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major: Prelude" has just tied with "Iceman's Love Theme" for most depressing piece of classical music ever to be associated with a TV show ( Read more... )
