After about half an hour of wavering, I went ahead and watched the leaked version of the midseason finale, because it's not like I watch it legally anyway.  The thoughts I post after each episode are made after at least two viewings, so I'll probably post more specifics after Monday night.

Let's see which is longer this week: my recap or my rant.

Ugh.  I have only caught the barest whiff of wank (that doesn't sound right, but you know what I mean) on Tumblr because I follow only a few people, but I have to say, I think the shift to Tumblr is seriously undermining fandom, any fandom, as a community.  Just about every fandom I follow is involved, and I know wank is nothing new, but even a few ( Read more... )

Well, Paranormal Activity 4 was a big, fat disappointment.  In addition to a ton of wasted potential (the Kinect thing could have been so cool), it made no damn sense.

( Can somebody please explain to me... )

So, uh, if anybody still cares about the Oscars (which I watched while I should have been studying for my insane Crim Theory midterm yesterday), I went 11 for 24, so a slight improvement over last year.  And I guess I really ought to see Life of Pi (though I still want to read the book first ( Read more... )

So.

I have been trying to do the Tumblr thing and I'm just... not getting it.  I follow precisely five fandom people and some fun porn Tumblrs because, c'mon, it's the internet and I can't keep up with my feed.  I guess most people use it as something you're supposed to constantly check throughout the day, like Twitter?  Because some people post ( Read more... )

Watched Torchwood: Miracle Day.  Actually, I finished watching it last night but I thought I'd let my thoughts percolate for a bit.  Bad idea, because the more I think about it, the less it makes any damn sense at all.

( Yes, I know, you warned me and I didn't listen. )

God knows why I thought it would be a good idea to wind down last night by watching the last ep of season 2 of Torchwood, and tonight by watching the latest Doctor Who.

I think I've mentioned this before, but where I work right now is a tutoring center for a variety of subjects, not just a writing center, and I tutor philosophy, too.  Well, theoretically.  I've had exactly three people come in, two of them today.  Which I'm totally okay with, because it gives me paid-homework time (though my boss realized no one ( Read more... )

Next door neighbor must have his bed pushed up against the opposite side of the wall from mine, because I can very clearly hear him snoring.  So far it hasn't bothered me trying to go to sleep (thank you, pharmaceutical industry), but it is still not a thing that should be happening.  What if he decides to engage in other, less solitary bed-related ( Read more... )
