I had a conversation with maggie33  about what is it about this season of Supernatural that I can’t grow to like and I realized I had trouble identifying the underlying reasons for my dissatisfaction. I know I don’t like the new, Decaf Dean, but why?

The easiest way to explain it, I guess, would be to remind everybody of Angel. You know, the show about ( Read more... )

Happy Halloween, which was yesterday, and happy Jay of the Dead, which is today, despite all organized religion's efforts to call it All Saints' Day. The graves are swiped, washed, and (in one horrible case) weeded out and smoothed over. The celebration proper may now begin ( Read more... )

... that when you're 12, the Russian letter F looks like male genitals?

Loved the meta in the final episode -- really, really loved it. Nice wrap-up, nice reflection of real-world fanbase vs. TPTB in terms of expectations and decisions. And nice vanishing act, too, because, really, there's God, and then there's Author, who is much more powerful and important :)

Been watching Legend of the Seeker -- and yes, yes, before you ask, I am so very ashamed of myself, but I can't help watching anyway. It's stupid, it's cheesy, it's simplistic, it's almost worse than the books, but it also has the hottest villain recently seen on TV.

And when exactly did I evolve from "yeugh, but they're brothers" into "OMG, they ( Read more... )

I had a minor existential crisis the other day. It turns out I purl in an "unusual" way. I purl weird! I'm a weird purler.

"You what weird?" Family asked in astonishment.
Me: "Purl! You know. Like, when you knit."
Family: "You knit?!?"
Me: "Shut up! It's a hobby."
Family: "But it's so... 19th century."
Me: "I have migraines! That's 19th century ( Read more... )

Article 7: European Territorial Cooperation

Having seen (and actually rather liked, in a tepid way) the movie, I clued in that it was a remake of a recent TV series staring none other than John Sims. And that, quite frankly, made me angry. There was nothing in promotional content to show that it was a remake; there was no information during the initial credits; there was nothing at all to ( Read more... )

I give up. Bookmarks suck. Sidebar links suck (10 entries? SRSLY?) I need to find a way to organize my bookshelf. Like people do master posts for their fic. I have no idea how to make one stick on top of all other entries, so I guess I'll just set one up regularly, and add a link to the sidebar ( Read more... )
