+ I'm wearing a red bandanna on my head today. I swear this is a response to my hair being too long, not a symptom of PoTC fanaticism. Though it's a near thing than you'd think. I was watching a movie with the family yesterday and we had a craving for more piratey, so we broke out a classic: The Black Swan. Tyrone Powers and Maureen O'Hara, filmed ( Read more... )

+ First, a help! request. How the hell do you pronounce Evelyn Waugh? Is it like it looks? I have to say it in front of a class of people tomorrow, and I want to make sure I don't embarrass myself. Also, does it make me a bad person that I have never actually *read* an Evelyn Waugh book? I never could get past my Brideshead Revisted problem. ( Read more... )

Apparently, I was bored this week, and found myself taking those BSG trivia quizzes on Scifi.com (they're ridiculously easy, even the so-called 'hard' version; I achieved the rank of Commander and my entire crew should now prep for turbulence, and then death).

I've been floating around a little bit and not commenting for the most part, so that makes me double terrible as far as online etiquette goes. I confess all. I have not been making LJ a priority of late. This is bad ( Read more... )

My favorite thing about Ugly Betty is the fact that there are basically no romantic relationships, but the relationships that *are* there are totally compelling and amazing to watch. Particularly the relationship between Betty and Daniel, which I can't see turning into a romantic one AT ALL, and I love that ( Read more... )

I have this problem with Supernatural. It's been bothering me. And in defining for myself just what the problem is, I realized it applies to a few other television shows as well. Well...one. Yep, I'm ranting about Smallville *again*. (Um, dingogrrl, if you want to skip this until after you've enjoyed the finale, I totally understand. It's not about that in ( Read more... )
