You know, this headlong fall into a truly embarrassing bandom has got me thinking. [pause for sarcastic comments] Yeah, yeah. No, really! I thought a bit of it when I was first checking out Merlin (which, by the way, still awful-awesome), but apparently I'm not great at acknowledging my own thoughts or something, since it took me hitting bandom to ( Read more... )

HEY. HEY. YOU GUYS. I think have found something awesome. And EVERYBODY ELSE GOT THERE FIRST.

But. Oh my goodness, I had no idea a fandom could hit me this hard, let alone a bandom! Because, you see, bandom is creepy. It's got all these loopholes! I admitted I could understand it! I could explain why it's not actually quite as creepy as fuck*! But ( Read more... )

Dude, I have skipped a lot of updates. I still rather suck at this LJ thing, but whatever. Right now most of my freak-out energy is devoted to the scads of work I ignored last week, leaving absolutely none for ignoring my journal. So... that's a plus? This post is going to be mostly unedited, just things I've been thinking about and done since last ( Read more... )

I have taped my eyeballs to the BBC for about 4 hours!

I have hugged a whole bunch of drunken messes!

I have voted for a winner.

I am so, so excited! And relieved. Let's not forget relieved.

I may be more coherent sometime later this week! But for now:

Yes. We. Did.

Happy Electioneen! 36 hours (give or take) from now, the people will have spoken and we will know who January's Mister President will be! Personally, cannot wait. Elections are so extremely exciting, I can hardly take it. I'm basically wetting myself as I flick back to FiveThirtyEight every couple minutes. Numbers! Graphs! Charts! Maps! Excuse me ( Read more... )

First: HBP trailers. Haha, serious business first, as always. But honestly, found them a little unsettling. I mean, there's the obvious "Tom-Riddle-is-a-bebe-pyromaniac" unsettling. But there's also the fact that, um, well. This is the penultimate movie! And once the films are done, there is nothing else Pottery to look forward to! I mean, I ( Read more... )

Forgot to mention this before, whoops.

I'm sure it's up somewhere, but I can't find out how to do an LJ-cut. You see, I've got this writing I've been meaning to post...

Help?

And have, shamefully, been ignoring this for a couple weeks. Well, not so much ignoring as forgetting about. I really am absent-minded sometimes, whoops!

Besides, the excellent politics going down in the You Ess of Ay have been distracting me. Sorry, did I say "politics?" I meant "theatre." I've been mostly reading Wonkette's account of things ( Read more... )

Hello, world! Having had said lovely weekend, I think you should all learn about it.

Friday, I went to the Hellenic Community Centre* to see a performance of Plato's "The Apology of Socrates" with my Pretentious Arts group, and it was fantastic. The actor was superb, and Emmy award-winning, and passionate without losing his playfulness. I highly ( Read more... )

And I totally didn't write it, either.

Oh man, no dillying, no dallying, just go read this! Do it now! Actually, if you have not read chapters 1-13 of the same piece of fanfiction, might want to take care of that first.

Later, I might blah-blah a little about how much I love everything in the world. But that is for later! Drop Dead Gorgeous is for ( Read more... )
