So I'm sitting on my bed in my jammies surrounded by my Fray graphic novel and my Serenity DVD and Visual Companion which came in the mail today. Also on the bed: two notebooks, one with notes related to Action Films, genre theory and spectacle and the other littered with random thoughts regarding the Inara fic. To the side of the bed: a massive ( Read more... )

Since I started using this journal in June, I have posted fic yes, but I have also posted random rantings and ravings and some of them were more focused than others. I will now continue and expand the year-end meme with a brief round up of the meta-ish musings of mine that I found important enough to book mark.

Someone really pissed me off a little bit ago and it got me thinking... (and up on my soap box, lol ( Read more... )

Alright, so I work in a small, independent scholarly/academic used bookstore that keeps itself afloat by selling some University coursebooks at the request of our Professor customers. It's the best "crappy" job I've ever had (crappy in that it's still retail but it's the pinacle of retail) - I get paid decently, have an hour paid lunch break, ( Read more... )

Oh, fannishness is funny. I think I totally initiated/indoctrinated someone into online fandom tonight. My boyfriend had a bunch of boys over tonight to drink beer and play video games. I'm not feeling so hot right now so I was just lazing about in my sweats reading fic resting. Anyway, one of the guys brought his girlfriend along who was just ( Read more... )
