Meme gakked from liz_marcs: In an upcoming interview with Katie Couric to be aired this week, Sarah Palin is unable to name any Supreme Court Case other than Roe v. Wade.

The Rules: Post info about ONE Supreme Court decision, modern or historic, to your lj. (Any decision, as long as it's not Roe v. Wade.)

I've watched the first three episodes of The Invisibles and I'm afraid I've found it very disappointing so far. It's a poorly-written hour-long sitcom about an often unpleasant and unsympathetic middle-aged thief getting back into the game (Tony), and his idiot of a partner who's mostly written as a moron who can't find his own dick with both ( Read more... )

So I suppose you all know that ASH is starring in a new BBC series, "The Invisibles," as an out-of-retirement professional thief. Patricia at HeadsUp has put the first five episodes online for download. Has anyone who's downloaded them actually been able to play one all the way through? I had to try three players before I found one that would ( Read more... )

A couple of fic recs to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Buffy.

And on the not-so-funny side, heron_pose's h/c fic The Indiscriminate Dust, Part One and Part Two, catalogs Giles disintegration following Buffy's death in "The Gift" in a painfully ( Read more... )

Just wanted to get that up there so you could all celebrate with me. One of the war criminals responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of disrupted lives loses his job, and about f*cking time. Looking for a link....

A couple of Random Things for the Friends List.

My best wishes for success to all of you who've signed up for NaNoWriMo! I'm a very slow writer, I can't imagine trying to compose a novel-length anything, much less in one month. I do have one suggestion for you, though: outline!

And a few of you have had problems with your iPods lately. ( Read more... )

Here's the torrent for the Him & Us Pilot, it was a quick download for me last night. I have to say that while ASH was very good, the pilot was not. There was no real chemistry between the actors, all of whom were way out-classed by ASH, and nothing to grab me in the pilot. I'm not a sit-com fan, however, if you are you may find more in it than ( Read more... )

Three excellent Giles-centric stories that tell essentially the same tale.

While doing some mindless work today that allowed my mind to wander I thought...( under the cut so you can read the stories above unspoiled if you're not familiar with them )

Today I am ashamed to be an American. I post these songs written by Pete Seeger for your consideration, the second taken almost verbatim from a newspaper article about a German woman who was a resident of Nuremberg during the war. It is well past time for change. Please vote Democratic in November.
