So my friend calloocallay recently mentioned something about a musical Bechdel test, about finding songs about a third person woman whom the singer didn't either want to sleep with or do away with (I presume as a romantic rival?). So of course I had to try and see if it held up through an entirely unscientific survey of my iTunes ( Read more... )

So a little while ago I was opining about lists and voting and all that shite and talked about the whole 1000 greatest rock songs countdowns on classic rock stations and how everyone knows what's going to be at the top, and it's really the lower numbers that are interesting ( Read more... )

So! My startrekbigbang story matched both a mixer and, as of last night, an artist! Also, there are so many fics I'm looking forward to reading! So my own recent freak out about many things writing-related is slightly mitigated.

Unsurprisingly, however, my rpf_big_bang story hasn't matched with an artist yet, though this is not due to lack of trying by the mods. At ( Read more... )

Yesterday was kind of awful but today was pretty great! It's weird, my birthday is at the end of August but it always turns cold right before it; when I was growing up in Maine I could never have a swimming party for my birthday ( Read more... )
