[is it time to go home yet?]
I had an idea this morning that was so brilliant I had to congratulate myself on being brilliant.
Well. It'll be brilliant if I can pull it off, that is. Whether or not I can do remains to be seen. But you can't know 'til it's finished. Because it's a secret brilliant idea. *evilgrin*
This is sort of a thin linkies post. I was busy this week, I guess. Huh.
Fic Recs:
+ Long Way Home, by misswindy. Everwood. Bright POV. What could have been, what might be. Hopeful and hopeless all at once, and the Bright I hear in my head. *thumbs up*
+ Secret Keeping, by lalejandra. HP. Pansy/Millicent, Pansy/Draco, Harry/Draco. R. You know how sometimes you read or see something and it's not quite full-on creepy but it's just creepy enough to raise goosebumps on your arms, which somehow makes it creepier and more powerful? Yeah. This is like that.
+ New York Is Cold But, by fitofpique. lotrips. Dom/Billy, NC-17. Dude, I could be coherent about this, but isn't it more evocative if I flail around and go "NNNNNNNNNGH" a lot? Which is to say, this is hot and delicate and gorgeous. Yis.
In The News:
+ Kerry Will Restore American Dignity: the Iconoclast, the newspaper in Dubya's hometown, is endorsing John Kerry for President in November 2004, without their tongues in their cheeks or anything. Honest-to-God endorsement.
Fandom:
+ Incredibly funny black-and-white text-only fandom icons, courtesy of misswindy.
+ Lost mood theme. It was inevitable that one would be created eventually, and this one's lovely.
+ 100 Ways To Kill Your Lover Challenge. Write a fic. Kill off your favorite character. Simple as that.
+ Gorgeous Edward Scissorhands moodtheme.
Random Crap Wot I Found On The Internet:
+ Dubya's Beatitudes.
+ The Writer's Almanac. A daily email digest, wherein they send you a poem and a bunch of literary and historical notes about what happened in the world of books that day. I love it. I had about 100 of them saved in my email last year and Mail crashed and I lost them all and it still makes me sad thinking about it.
+ What Sars said: Do not give me that "what's the point" crap, because "the point," in case you've missed it, is that George W. Bush is an execrable president. He has embroiled us in a war under false pretenses. He has utterly disregarded -- in fact, is actively hostile to -- the environment. He has damaged our standing in the international community, possibly irreparably. He has announced his intention to codify discrimination against gays and lesbians with a constitutional amendment. He is an enemy of choice, diplomacy, civil rights, the Bill of Rights, the working poor, the scientific community, trees, women, your safety, and the English language. He hates reading, inexpensive medicines from Canada, and a bunch of my friends. He is an outrage, he is an embarrassment, and if I have anything to say about it, he is returning to brush-clearing on his ranch full-time come November 3.
