Following an unscripted fandom is always a risk, whether it's having a favorite sports team who can lose time and time again, or having your favorite dude say something faily, or finding out one of the dudes is having a no-longer-secret baby, or finding out a politician you admire is so utterly backwards in some of their opinions ( Read more... )

SORRY PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT INTO BANDOM but I just. Look, Panic at the Disco's album comes out in under two months, things will probably cool down after that. And I must have been this annoying when Kris and Adam's albums came out, right? Right ( Read more... )

I always feel this combination of pride and self-consciousness when I get compliments about my photos (both online and irl), because on the one hand I want to credit the subject matter and the camera and photo editing software, but on the other, I really do put effort into taking them and editing them, and you know, I like getting compliments ( Read more... )

Boosting the signal about the J2 Big Bang fail, just in case someone hasn't seen it yet, just to say that I too find it appalling. There are two big issues of fail with what went on with that fic, but when it comes to exploitation of tragedy -- can I say that I am not that surprised? I mean, it's horrifying to see it happen live, and it's ( Read more... )

My technological woes, let me tell you them. My laptop has gotten weirder and weirder -- that is to say, worse -- and I've finally decided to abandon it and moved one of the PCs from home to my apartment. The upside -- I now have internet! And have backed up my stuff! And can type and everything, it's very cool. The downside -- the PC is actually ( Read more... )

First: a rec! And That's To Be The King by sabrina_il, Merlin/Kings, I repeat, Merlin/Kings, I REPEAT, Merlin/Kings. Specifically, Arthur/Jack, and their different brands of messed-up-ness and nobleness and makes me want to hug them both! Very much of the aww variety, and I did not even mention the lols.

Okay, so anyway:

Apparently, I am just dorky enough ( Read more... )

Yesterday I linked sabrina_il to an Israeli gospel song that I really like; it was performed on our Israeli Idol type show so the quality is not amazing, but I’ve always found it happy and uplifting. In the middle, sabrina_il starts to laugh because of the lyrics that went: "A day of rejoicing for the black man", which -- what black man do you speak of in our fair ( Read more... )

Reveal time! \o/

I wrote two stories for Yuletide this year.

Main fic: On the Doorways to Paradise (The Bubble, PG-13, 1540 words) for elishabet. The first question Ashraf asked in Heaven was: "Did I kill anyone?"

Yuletide Treat: Whole New World (Aladdin, PG-13, 2240 words) for kyburg. Genie always returns to AlTo say I was awed and astounded and thrilled by ( Read more... )

How cool is me writing this up: I said I'd write something, and then I did. Man. Hopefully this will become a habit ( Read more... )

My Theories About Ziva David
Or: The One Where I Fuck Your Brains Out* All About Ziva

*”fuck brains out” = Israeli idiom for bullshit.

Oh, Ziva. You are awesome, you really are. Your banter is good. The boys respect you. You're a kickass Israeli chick, plus, I really like your clothes. But it appears that much like Heroes’ Hana Gitelman’s ( Read more... )
