Oooh, lookit what taraljc made for me. You can leave general squees for her in her LJ. And feel free to be envious right here ;)

The poll on who you want as your next two featuredwhovian ends in a little over twelve hours, so don't forget to vote if you haven't already. You can do so here.

Doctor Who made fandom_wank again And sparks a massive quote-game since Whovians are geeks. And love.

Also, I take this moment to pimp dw_recs. Because more people should use it.

Mum, calling me yesterday: Blah, blah... So how about we go see a western?
Me: ... Oh, you mean the gay cowboys?
Mum: Yee-eees.
Me: Sure, I guess. *sniggers quietly*

Meanwhile, I'm still sniggering over the letters from my last post. Gems, all of them. My flist - gold.

You're seeing Brokeback Mountain with your Mum? That's pretty cool! I don't think that's my mum's usual fare in movies!

Oh, and I can't wait for your treatise on CSI fanfic/writers!

Re: gay cowboys: I just went to see it last weekend with my Mom and her friends. Went mostly out of curiosity, but was very pleasantly surprised (I had thought that there was probably more hype than warranted, but such was not the case). "Brokeback Mountain" deserves it's accolades. And I see a Best Actor Oscar nomination for Heath Ledger (dude was awesome). For those who might not want to see it because they don't like westerns, I wouldn't let that stop you. Strictly speaking it's not really a western in the classic sense-- just a drama that happens to take place in Wyoming and Texas (1963-1980's). The movie audience for "Brokeback" here in southern New Mexico skewed noticably female :)

Spamming with quotes = love, or an entertaining way to spend an otherwise perfectly dull Tuesday. :D

Indeed it is. Even if you are doing it when you should be sleeping.

I never did finish my paper, alas. :D
