Headlines and Highlights and Of Course I'm Working

[nix_this]

Some interesting things I read today:

-Obese man's sons being put up for adoption. From the article title you could be forgiven for freaking out and thinking that the man's weight is the major factor in this decision. Me too, bb. Me too. I went over to the CBC vibrating with righteous fury at this blatant discrimination and already drafting a

Oh wow. That first article... shesh. *shakes head*

Anyways, I am sorry to hear about what your toe is going through but I have to admit, with the most sympathy that I can muster that this line: puckered and pink and looks exactly as you'd assume a scarred asshole would look.... well lemme say that I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything at the moment or else I would've sprayed it all over my monitor. I laughed for quite a long time at that. I'm glad to hear that its healing under the Hulk.

My weekend? Was spent dreading and hating on myself for this Trek Reverse Big Bang. What in the hell did I sign myself up for? Seriously. *sigh*

I signed up as an author. I do admit that I procrastinated something fierce as its due on Friday and I'm not even close to finishing. I do, very much like the story line that I have, though.

It is my first one so I am definitely nervous haha.

Right? I don't know whether to me more pissed off about the misdirection, or the poor research, or the equally poor writing. It's a trifecta of shite.

I missed Trek Reverse Bang?? Damn. I would have liked to done some art for that, feels like ages since I did some trek art. Ah well, I'll just have to make do with reading the stories ;)

Good luck!

I really wanted more ladies in the documentary. Especially in the comic section. I could have gone without Skip, and replaced him with some up and coming female comic artist. Holly is amazing though, and super down to earth. She is very nice on twitter. I did a fan art piece of her as Shepard and she loved it. I mailed it out to her.

I thought Kevin Smith was hilarious until the end credits and then I wanted to stab him in the eye. With a spoon.

You should totally play Mass Effect. I think you'd like it.

I'm playing my Dani Shepard playthrough right now, actually. ;)

More ladies in ANY thing (expect the token girlfriend) would have definitely been appreciated. And yeah, I could've done with a lady artist instead of Skip, but I wonder if having two "minorities" in a single category would have broken their brains? WHO CAN SAY?

I don't know if I can play Mass Effect. I hate playing games on my computer because I find the keyboard input to be awkward and uncomfortable and I don't own an Xbox. *googles* Huh. It's on PS3. How strange is it that I haven't even turned on my PS3 in six months and it's now come up in conversation 3 times in the last couple of days?

(answer: very)

I'll see if I can find it cheap and used or rent it somewhere :)

This is why I avoid watching or reading the news: I come out of the experience feeling less informed than when I went in (and kind of unclean). What has happened to journalism?!

And I'll tell you what I seem to remember telling you in Victoria: I can accept you waking me up, if you can accept me violently murdering you.

Right? I usually entertain myself by playing Bias Bingo depending on the slant of the publication, but sometimes it's just not enough to get you through the morass of shit--writing, research, relevance to anything, etc...

And I waited over an HOUR before waking you up for first coffee. OVER AN HOUR. My patience is fucking laudable, yo.

SO SEXY, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. Especially today! Captain America is on the job :D (OMG, that movie gave me such an appreciation for sweat pants. Unnnnf Cap, unnnnnf)

Yeah, the overall everything about the article was poorly presented, and I fucking hate the blatant manipulation of events to fit some stupid Fad Issue. It's kind of antithetic to the whole point of reporting events, right? And why wouldn't they interview a representative from the Queen's Bench or the Child Services to get a clearer picture? Bleah. I'm about ready to call it quits on newspapers in general, I think.

I'm one of those not-awake-until-I-absolutely-have-to-be-even-if-I'm-up-and-walking-around people that you would annoy. XD It takes a shower, food, and at least an hour before I want anyone to speak to me...and before I can speak back civilly.

Loved the letters between Asimov and Roddenberry. Perfect.

Also, HIII. I haven't disappeared. Just thought I'd let you know. XD

OH HAI!

I was just thinking about you! I was going through our emails looking for one of the random blog links I'd sent you. And boom! Here you are :D

I miss you~!

However, those hockey plans we discussed need to happen! The Hurricanes now have 2 and half Staals! I NEED TO SEE THIS LIVE. (I promise to try not to annoy you in the morning if you let me crash at your place)

[anoncomment7]

I miss you too, bb!

*big hugs*

Haa, well, you're welcome to crash at my place anytime. Just be forewarned that I have basically no furniture, so you'll be on a crappy air mattress on the floor. But come on down, it'd be awesome!

(And I can be civil in the mornings...it's just painful. Physically. ;D)
