Well, it was kinda inevitable...

Leslie Moonves, chief executive of CBS Corp., said the new network will air 30 hours of programming seven days a week aimed in part at young audiences.We all knew television created its own reality, but I'm amazed and awed that the media has grown so powerful that they can blithely insert an extra 6 hours in every ( Read more... )

A couple days ago, I was watching "A Christmas Carol" with a friend and happened to remember the very moment I realized that not all of my fellow college students had gotten in on quite the same merits as me.

( Rather pointless, if vaguely amusing, anecdote, so don't expect too much from it -- I just felt like sharing )

Bah...to hell with you

I may be biased, but there're few accents more mellifluous and few dialects more interesting than the Southern one.

I just friended and defriended ginmar today just for the hell of it. Plus, she's insane in a special way that only Mexican Jumping Beans in chili sauce can match. Now if she holds to form, she should be showing up some time in...::checks watch::...April or so to scream at me for going behind her back and betraying her.

I think I was supposed to wish somebody a happy birthday today, but I can't remember who. So I'll just wish Masq one and hope that I get it right by chance....

"King Arthur" (the most recent one) is on one of the movie channels right now.

I hate it almost as much as I hated the most recent Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But not quite as much as I hated the Wizard of Earthsea mini-series.

What the hell is wrong with Arnie? I don't believe for a second that he personally opposes gay marriage, whatever his public stance may be. And I grant his logic is impeccable on the face of it -- if the ban is not constitutional, then the bill is unnecessary, and if it is, then the bill is ineffective. But how in hell would it hurt to go ahead ( Read more... )

For all those people using the goddamned hurricane to promote their goddamned political grievances, please stay the hell away from me. Thank you.

For the past week (at least the part that I was on-line), at least two of my f-lists have been swirling with the great literary debate of the summer: women who write men, and the the orgies that follow. The debate appears to center on the question of women writing male characterization, especially in the context of slash fiction, though also in ( Read more... )
