Dammit, just as I'm working on a campaign to prove that any allegation I'm a shrieking fangirl is totally made up, stuff like this comes along. I wish I could stay calm and sensible when faced with something like that, but... David Hewlett. Is hugging. A Dalek! He's posing with it and showing it off to his dog! And then he says thankyou to fans by ( Read more... )

OK, people, if you have ever given any thought whatsoever to the German election outcome, then you need to see this: der Kanzlergenerator. Create your own Chancellor by randomly mutating the candidates! HEE!

And if you haven't (well, hell, even if you have), I also present:

I haven't updated since approximately the last major extinction event, so I have to start this post off with: one hundred icons! I only have 76 so far, but oh, I've been having so much fun making new ones, like my lovely Jodrell Bank icon and Nicky Wire's grin and David Hewlett being hot and yay. It's like Christmas and my birthday all at once. I ( Read more... )

Brilliant Hitchiker's Guide/Dr Who fic makes me happy. So does The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, which is a brilliant idea if somewhat too Western-focused at the moment. Ways to explain things and make them more understandable to more people are a very good thing.

Unlike this story, the very idea of which is freaking me out. The whole ( Read more... )

I suspect everyone will have seen stuff about frienditto on their friends list, but just in case: please, don't go anywhere fucking near this. Things that are friends-locked are restricted like that for a reason; the person doesn't want the whole world reading about it. I don't think any of the people on my friends list will have used this, but if you have ( Read more... )

This entry is just commemorating the delightful irony involved in my moving to Canada exactly when Britain gets repeatedly covered in proper snow. Bwahaha! Ph3r my evil powers! You too must experience the joy that is dislodging a branch full of snow on your head! You shall not escape! I do like being able to shake my head in a world-weary fashion ( Read more... )

My love of music is responsible for many things. Some of these things are good, and some of them involve embarassment on many different forms of public transport. However, today it involves the kind of bad pop music that's so awful it's hilarious: I discovered a whole load of videos for Dragostea din Tei, the "numa numa iei" song!

The Lego version ( Read more... )

New York Supreme Court declares ban on same sex marriages unconstitutional. Yay. So much yay. Though it is possibly an indication of how bad most of the rest of the news is, this is making me really happy; it's so nice to have something good happen. And, y'know... trends have to start somewhere. That this can happen at all is pretty cool ( Read more... )

1.Once More With Hobbits: up there with Once More With Contrivance, but this time with hobbitses. Also mp3s to download!

2.3D... stuff: including goodness relating to Aubrey Beardsley, M.C. Escher, and Hieronymous Bosch (what a weirdo).

3. The best music video ever, which has totally beaten Coffee and TV in my music video affections.

4. This ( Read more... )

Today is a beautiful day.

The weather is perfect - it's cool, but dry, and the trees are the kind of autumn colours that make poets have aneurisms. Soft, perfect golds and dark reds and greens that make me think of England. Even the mist seems to be designed just to make the view out of my window prettier, if more blurry. And then you've got the ( Read more... )
