Oh look, Avengers. WELL THAT WAS AWESOME.

( Part One: Why I Love Midnight Showings (spoiler free) )

Hi all, sorry about the radio silence and the way I've fallen behind on... practically everything. I owe a lot of people replies and suchlike and I swear I'll get to it. My head's just been all over the place lately; I haven't been able to muster up the focus for much more than mindless TV watching and compulsive tumblring.

On the plus side, what ( Read more... )

I was cleaning out my box of misc childhood paper-based memories today, and I found an entire typewritten page that I think dates to grade one or two, detailing my passionate love for Narnia and all of the feels that I got when all the horses were killed in the last battle. Seriously: “The black dwarfs were the ones who killed them. That was mean. ( Read more... )

manually crossposting this, because apparently last night's automatic crosspost was teh fail.

So I'm sitting here in the archaeology lab, sullenly measuring harpoon heads, sick to death of this ridiculously large term-end paper I have to write, when the girl on the far side of the table suddenly says, "Argh, ( Read more... )

Gather round, kiddies. It’s time for Anabaptists history and some thoughts thereof! This is a post in two parts. Part one: Mennonites and War. Part two: Mennonites, Poppies, and Me.

An open letter to my fellow students:

Please. Please. Stop saying you're bad at names.

When I tell you I'm really bad at names, I mean it. There are people I knew in high-school, and lived in residence with for two years, and still sometimes share meals with, and I don't. know. their. names. And not for lack of trying. When you have to remind your ( Read more... )

I think I'm finally starting to get a feel for Homestuck fandom. Sorta ish kinda? At the very least, I'm starting to get a feel for my prefered ships - which is far more complicated than usual, and less a matter of names than the symbol between them! Off the top of my head, I ship Terezi <3< Vriska, Vriska <> John, John <3 Karkat, Karkat <> Kanya, ( Read more... )

This summer some of my friends and I got into the habit of getting together to watch Doctor Who. And when it ended for the mid-season break, we just kind of kept going, because two or three of the pseudo-regulars actually have never watched Doctor Who in any systematic sort of way, so we’ve been trying to catch them up on important things like, you ( Read more... )

I suppose it’s time to confess that in spite of everything I promised myself when Children of Earth ended, I’ve been sucked into watching Miracle Day. It’s... not entirely my fault? A while back, I managed to get on this extremely convenient mailing list, run by a few tech-savvy Whovian friends of mine. Every time Doctor Who (or SJA or TW) airs, a ( Read more... )

Ssssso what I have done this week is canned some cherries in an epic and poorly-planned canning party with my other not-hipster friends (we might be only our music is lame and our fashion sense sucks, except for the Fine Arts major who is probably actually a legit hipster now that I think about it), did a lot of schoolwork (well done me, getting ( Read more... )
