The world is dark and crisply cold today, and I have a seminar on Lolita I really don't want to have to go to tomorrow, and so I figured that some more random stuff was called for, in an attempt to be cheery.

( First, I rambled about Stargate: Atlantis and issues of identity and sexuality a bit )

So, today, among other things, happens to be the day that concernedlily and I (and also dwinsper, who we are slowly dragging into the Cult of Crack) watched the latest Stargate: Atlantis episode.

concernedlily came round earlier, and we watched some new Doctor Who and stuff, and also we watched the new Stargate: Atlantis episode and oh my god. Oh. My. God. My love for this show is really a little ridiculous to the extent that I was going "eeee, RODNEY!" just at hearing him do the "Previously on Stargate: Atlantis" voiceover, but... Oh. My. God.

A whole load of people on my friends list have been commenting on this Grauniad article today about the fact that apparently a third of people think the woman's at least partly to blame for rape if she's drunk or flirting. There's been some pretty cool response to it, too.

The word of the day is "gah", for reasons multitudinous and boring, so I'm going to be incredibly shallow in the hopes that this will result in sleep soon. Oy.

In order to cheer myself up, I've been looking at this picture possibly a little too often. This is because I am way, way too easily amused... I tend to think straight and gay are only ( Read more... )

I said I do this soon and I currently can't sleep, so, here you go: Stargate Atlantis haikus. Blame aneli8, or the fact that these were written after spending waaay too much time in Gatwick airport with no sleep. Heh. I do like the idea of it being something a bit like the Stargate limerick contest, though, so, uh, feel free to spam me with haikus of ( Read more... )

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... )

As a preface to this entry, I should point out that I thought I posted this entry hours ago. Then I went to the pub, and when I came back... lo and behold, there it was still sat there on my browser, unposted. I hope this sad exhibition of foolishness proves a useful example for the rest of you. Heh ( Read more... )

So, one day there was posted unto livejournal Flyboy - a John Sheppard Mix. It was beautiful and wondrous and just so awesome in every possible geeky way that it made Katie dance around her room to AC/DC like a nutjob ( Read more... )

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... )
