Hello all, it's been a while again and the world has done another horrifying backflip which I feel like I ought to address here but I'm not at all sure how :-/

( Here's my week away in three pictures )

In case any interested parties have missed it Naomi Novik is testifying before Congress today on the "Scope of Fair Use". I believe there's going to be a livestream ( see her LJ for details) but she's also shared the link to her written testimony and it's a clearly articulated argument for Fair Use as a tool that promotes creativity and also a ( Read more... )

So. Recent signalling-to-someone-in-a-departing-helicopter shennanigans in Hawaii Five-O reminded me quite a lot of the last episode of M*A*S*H which is one of my all time favourite episodes of any show ever.

And then I though- how many shows do I even have a favourite episode from? And it's REALLY hard to pick!

Like in West Wing if asked I'd ( Read more... )

So a weekend spent with tikiaceae, azicrow and ria_kukalaka normally consists of four things. Fannish chatter. Lots of TV/film watching. Board games. Quite a lot of food ( Read more... )

Tonight I am going to see Forbidden Broadway which is VERY exciting and even more ( Read more... )

Off for lunch but my first three Top Fives before I go (thanks to bookwormsarah, there are more to come!)

( Top five canon couples )

So thefourthvine has a post about Major Fannish Events. Those episodes/films/books that changed EVERYTHING that either you were there for or that you'd have liked to be there for.

The end of M*A*S*H or the "Luke I am your father" or HUNDREDS of other examples.

NB it's unsurprisingly spoilery as all get out for pretty much everything ever EVER.

So I've been halfheartedly working on a post for months, actual months, with my top 10 vids (well originally it was going to be top 5, then top 10, and now it's kinda top 10 with 10 runners up *coughs ( Read more... )

So a few people on my flist have been doing this meme that is name 15 OTPs and then see what they say about you, and ask people to comment on what they say about you.

Having spent three days dithering over what I mean by OTP and can I actually think of 15 (and then changing mind on the definition and wondering how on earth I can pick only 15 :P) I ( Read more... )
