Stuff, fandom and news
Jan. 30th, 2008 01:28 pmI can has a flu. Blah. Nothing surprising in this, as it's been making its way through work and several relatives as well. But annoying still. Better now, but been having some really tiring days. I want spring.
Stuff:
- There's always some dude whose sex appeal seem to pass me by. Jack from Doctor Who / Torchwood, Nick from CSI. My brain denies me lusting. Woe.
- Why does dislike of a female character so often bring out really nasty female-hating shit? And by women too. What's with all this hate for own gender? Boo.
- Sometimes I find continous subtle digs at another character/ship are more annoying then outright bashing in fanfic. The latter tends to get spotted for what it is, the first tends to be ignored because teh fic is otherwise good. Your opinion of a character =/= the characters you're writing's opinions. Propaganda in fic form does not bemuse me.
- I love icons. But why are sometimes shiny icons ruined by idiotic text? I don't mind text on icons, but romantic declarations of love do not fit every screencap out there. (Says I, hunting for a good GSR kiss icon and some other ship ones.)
- Feeling X-Files nostalgia now, with new movie being shot.
- Gossip Girl - worth watching or not?
- Who wants to get paid LJ time or something similar to make me a new LJ layout?
- Think I need to make a World of Warcraft filter to spare the totally not interested. If you want in on it, say ding.
- Bwhaha, Dame Patricia Anne Elizabeth Genevieve Honora Kennealy Morrison, DTJ.
- I saw an episode of Supernatural on late night television the other day. pretty boys, but I found myself unable to enjoy it too much, since I kept having Greatest Hits of Wankery starring Supernatural on perpetual loop, like a hamster in a wheel. Sometimes I wonder if it's easier to get into a show if you have no knowledge of fandom first.
- Then again, sometimes people get into fandom without much care for the original material.
- The media vulture-feast over Britney is rather revolting me, and I never liked the chick.
- In true to their utterly repulsive nature, the Westboro 'church' declared intensions to picket Heath Ledger's funeral. Yeah. Good luck getting into Australia with that as your stated goal, twitheads.
- The more I read about subprime loands, the more rotten and dodgy I find the whole thing. Capitalism at its very worst, bleh. And now it's making everyone else suffer economically too.
- While I've been loathing Huckabee, CamDad has revealed his hate for Mitt Romney, declaring him the epitome of sleaziness. (CamMum is on the fence.) Arguments ensued over which really is the worst US presidental candidate. Jury's still out. Come on, Huckabee, do something totally assy to ensure my win!
In the news:
Memorial wanted for 'soldier bear' who fought in WWII.
Australian government to apologize for 'Stolen Generation'. (Can we get a ABOUT TIME here?)
Sexual assault victim wins compensation from rapist lotto winner. (The suggested law change is what we have in Norway - you get compensation from the state, the state takes it from the offender if found and convicted.)
Ryanair told to withdraw schoolgirl advert.
High avalanche risk in Norway.
