30 Days of TV, Day 13: Your favorite childhood TV show

Thinking about it... I watched a lot of TV as a kid.  There are three shows coming to mind, and I think in one way or another I'm going to have to mention them all.  But the thing you need to know is?  I didn't watch cartoons.  Ever.  I recall saying to my brother at one point that "talking ( Read more... )

An episode you've watched more than 5 times.

...I can only pick one?  Dammit.

In that case I need to put in qualifiers.  This is an episode I have watched more than five times, all the way through, without ever falling asleep, and without getting up for snacks or to go to the bathroom and letting the episode run because "I know what happens in this ( Read more... )

30 Days of TV, Day 11: A show that disappointed you

( Thesis. )

Ladies and gents, I'm about ready to write something G-rated.  I need a break from the prons.  I think this is doable - tron20in20  will likely work well for that in July before the Porn Battle starts.  But if anybody wants to prompt me for a J/D or Tron thing that's nothing more than PG-13 (let's face it, I'll probably drop a curse word or two) feel free.  ( Read more... )

I have very little to say about House this week.  *sigh* Shark-jumping confirmed.  I miss Thirteen.  Seriously.  I think Olivia Wilde is my girl crush, and I miss her.  And this whole... sleeping together thing?  I just... IDK.  And Chase is a male slut now, or something.

Color me disappointed.  I used to like Chase.

NaNo: I'm doin' it.  I signed up.  No turning back now!  So if anybody else is doing NaNoWriMo and wants to be buddies, let me know.  I just signed up today and still am kind of poking around, trying to figure out how this gorram thing works.  Right now it seems my local group is trying to figure out where and when to have a kick-off party.  This ( Read more... )

Syfy Channel is showing Transformers: Fall of Man in the wee hours of Friday morning.  I recorded this movie when it was on once, and I could do a review, but I don't think it's necessary: You can read this one.  It pretty much covers my thoughts exactly.  Suffice it to say that there are two halves of this movie: the half with Bruce and the half ( Read more... )

I am not a violent person.  Like, at all.  And I didn't grow up in a rough neighborhood, or a big city where I might learn these kinds of things from the news.  Everything I know about how to kill/maim/injure a fictional character, I learned from television.

So... my research for this AU I keep talking about has lead me to Google some things that ( Read more... )

I've put in long days every day of this pay period, and I worked from home on both Saturday and Sunday, as well as Monday night, and I'm tired, and I'm staring quarter-end and year-end and benefits open enrollment right in the face, so... I just really don't feel like doing anything of value on this particular Wednesday.

Instead I have this to say:
