When did I become such a facebook whore? I used to keep such a strict LJ = fandom / FB = real life divide that basically ensured that I never used FB because... well, we all know my fandom >>>> RL priorities; but somehow I migrated all of my TV talk over there and I'm not sure how it happened. WILL BE REMEDIED SOON. Also, this possibly makes me a ( Read more... )

Just got through with the Cranford Christmas special -- boy but that series does not cut back on the high mortality rates, does it? On the whole I don't think this was as well put together as the original but, still, high old lady hilarity all around and yay Tim Curry and yay Jodie Whittaker. Overall, though, I'm rather disappointed with ( Read more... )

In doing my Year in Fiction recap last time, I had the most fun -- and blew the most time! -- doing my TV post; and, as 2008 began drawing to a close, I sincerely looked forward to going through the same process again in putting together a TV of 2008 retrospective. Yet once work actually began... I. Wow. Holy balls, guys. I WATCH SO MUCH FRIGGEN TV ( Read more... )

My sister, home for the holidays, has recently taken up harassing me for episodes of SGA to catch up with. OH, BEING FORCED TO WATCH TV. MY LIFE IS SO HARD. So we're in the middle of season three right now, just got through the two-parter -- and, well. Just sayin'. BUT. Those episodes can totally be retconned to where John returns with the primary ( Read more... )

Because I'm sure many of you are much more politically savvy than I: can anybody direct me to Obama's current official stance on NASA/Constellation? I know initially his only stated position was to remove Constellation funding for at least five years; but when he came down here to visit the Space Coast over the summer he responded to some concerns ( Read more... )

Epic Girl!crush Picspam of Doom that I started, like... a month ago... is finally finished! ...Sort of. Well. Finished in a me definition of the word, where I spent way too long working on it; started getting picky over everything; somehow picked up two new fandoms in the meantime; felt compelled to add more and more; felt guilty over stuff being ( Read more... )

I leave for school tomorrow. Technically, I should be packing right now (OH GOD OH GOD WHY AM I DOING THIS ALL SO LATE???!!?), but I wanted my last journal entry of the summer to properly reflect how I've spent my break. It's been almost two weeks since I finished up my viewing of all the TOS films, and with the exception of some fangirly flailing ( Read more... )

Pushing forward in my quest to watch everything Star Trek: TOS before the end of the summer, my sister and I watched The Final Frontier a few days ago. Perhaps this is only further testament to my bad taste, but I freakin' loved it -- one of the most entertaining movies I've seen all summer. I just don't understand why everybody hates it so much!

Today we were pulling out of the school parking lot onto the highway, and somebody pulled up next to our car. Like half of the student body, they had the volume on their stereo pumped up as high as it could go, and the song that was playing was "Toxic." My sister remarked on how much she liked that song and inquired as to who performed it ( Read more... )
