I'm doing the same as you: posting at DW and cross-posting to here. However I won't be reading and commenting on DW till they get their reading filter--which should be pretty soon, yay!--and then I'll ask where people consider their main account to be. :-) I have a premium account there too so I could use all my icons in both places.
Ooookay, interests. Here are some I don't know anything about: - aqua (which I assume isn't Roman water) - callahan's crosstime saloon - dcu - kingdom hearts - lemon demon - promethea (female Prometheus?) - robot chicken - roxette
And yay for xenolinguistics! (uses only Uhura icon--so far]
Callahan's Crosstime Saloon - is a series of books written by Spider Robinson about a bar in New Jersey (though it moves to Key West later in the series) run by a big balding Irishman named Mike Callahan (and later the narrator, a folksigner named Jake), under the principle that "shared pain is lessened, shared joy increased". People of all kinds - including time-travelers, a hyper-intelligent talking dog, AIs, alien cyborg assassins, a vampire, and various psychics - who are in pain find there way there by a kind of field of magical coincidence, tell their stories by the fireplace, and the patrons of the bar do what they can to help. It's the kind of place where someone trying to rob the place could end up working there. They've stopped more than one alien invasion by getting the aggressors heroically drunk.

I love the idea of Callahan's and Kingdom Hearts! I'll have to see if I can get the stories from the library (I didn't read the spoilery article) but so much classic SF just isn't stocked any more.
The idea of Promethea sounds really interesting.
Geeks in Love is utterly joyous, and the animation is so witty. [adores]
It's a poor library that doesn't have Spider Robinson - the man's a Hugo award winner.
Promethea is interesting, although in later issues it sort of turns into an illustrated guide to the author's metaphysical beliefs. Fortunately, those ARE interesting, and very thought provoking, but it's certainly not an adventure comic anymore.
Only the lack of a downloadable mp3 at the time prevented "geeks in Love" from being played at my wedding.
IN OTHER NEWS: Grandma Dolly says 'hi' :) I had an awesome visit with GrandmaDolly on Friday :) She even gave me a bowl of ice-cream and blueberries :)
It was HOT in the building where my Grandma Dolly lives; she said they still haven't fixed the air-conditioning
GrandmaDolly said: "Why does our news bother covering the Iran election? I have enough trouble following our own country's news."

Squeeing: "squee" is the noise made by an excited fangirl; to squee is to gush excitedly about fannish things.
Glowy Blue Plant Sex: *laughs* Okay, in the show Farscape, there's a character who is an alien descended from plants, and she's blue. She has a relationship with another alien, who is an energy being made of pure golden light inside a human-looking body - which he can let out through a hole in his face he conceals under a mask. Now the plant lady, she experiences something called "photogasms" when exposed to bright lights... yeah. From there it's pretty self explanatory, right? I'm a fan of both characters and their relationship, "Glowy Blue Plant Sex" is me being facetious about it.
Multiverse theory: the theory that there are alternate universes, existing out there somewhere in tandem with our own. :)
I have great sympathy for grandma Dolly - the weather around here was brutally hot around the same time - though it's better now.

Also, yay, Sydney icons! Because you totally do need them. :)
