Some notes on the elections from last night
For those of you who do not know, part of my undergrad education was actually learning how to break down and analyze politics and deliver speeches on it every weekend, so I have actually been trained to do this. My opinions are not expert level, by any stretch of the imagination, but since everything I thought would happen did, and no TV or ( Read more... ) -
Bye Bye paid Livejournal...
Just a brief message: after years and years of LJ paid, I'm giving it up. The simple truth is that I'm not that interested in blogging much anymore, and while I love LJ and everything that this place has brought me since December 2003, I'm kinda tired of it. I don't even check up on my communities because I simply do not have the time to sit and ( Read more... ) -
A really quick top 5 fanish things I will never get or see
5. An apology for Voyager and Enterprise - I know that these shows have their fans, I even think that both shows have high points that make up for the shows mostly sucking, but let's face it - they suck. The reason why we only have original series and ST:TNG movies (aside from the reboot) is because none of the shows past TNG have been strong ( Read more... ) -
What Mitt Romney needs to say to get my vote - A polemic
I recently said on Twitter that I really don't want people to add to political commentary unless it is to make a joke. Frankly, it's August and I'm already sick of everything being covered to death and then to the point of absurdity, so from now until December, I give you my promise that I will make no political commentary that is not intended to ( Read more... ) -
8 years at the same (Greg) House: A retrospective
This past May, House:MD came to an end, and it ended my affiliation with American serialized television. House was the last show made for American TV that I followed, bought the DVD boxsets, and that I actually enjoyed. Beginning in 2004, which should have been a promising year for TV with House and Boston Legal starting in the same year, and ( Read more... ) -
A long delayed review: Air Master aka The Secret Life of my Friend, Emily
So over Christmas break, yes, eight months ago, I sat down and watched Air Master. I had just listened to the Anime World Order review of it, done by Clarissa, and the show intrigued me again, so I dialed up the fansubs I had from years ago when I had basically downloaded the internet, and I began to watch ( Read more... ) -
A long delayed and much contemplated post on religion
I have really been avoiding this because the last time I made a post about religion, people got really mad at me and left. Well, they didn't get the George Carlin homage, and I cannot be blamed for that, so enough of me being gun-shy, let's talk about what Anne actually believes ( Read more... ) -
Meatless Mondays, Meat Reduction and Meat in general from a "Blood Eater"
First, none of my vegan friends have ever called me a "Blood Eater" or said anything insulting or shaming towards me for eating meat. Other vegans have, but that's why they aren't my friends. I do, however, kind of like the term blood eater, but more on that later.
My friend emmapoe has been pushing Meatless Mondays for a while, and even though I am a ( Read more... )
