News, fandom, wankery, memes. Same old, same old.

Bush urges patience on Iraq, Republicans don't seem too impressed.

Sigh. You know, I've opposed the Iraq war from the beginning, but I'm thinking that US troops pulling out right now may very well make the country implode on itself. On the other hand, the troops don't seem to be able to improve things either, so who the hell knows.

Knut the Polar Bear shows to stop.

Aww, Knut.

Meanwhile, in the World of Warcarft, people wank over the size of Orc shoulders. 51 pages of bitching. Haha.

In Doctor Who fandom:
time_and_chips is finally having its Anywhere But Cardiff ficathon. My prompt is Kent, 1900 which I have no idea what to do with yet, but something will probably come to me. falena84, I may have to write a bit on this one while visiting you, heh. Also there's a new Doctor/Rose fic rec comm, quite_right_too, so maybe a slight overdose if you don't like the pairing, huh? And hey, we made fandom_wank not for shipping again.

In CSI fandom:
You have a right to disagree, but GSR is boring, forced and akward! Grillows at least has some spark to it! Grillows WILL be cannon because one day Gil will wake up and realize that GSR is nothing but a BAD dream! Until then though, I don't want to fight with anyone, we can all have our opinions - says a poster on the CBS boards. Ship wars never die, says Cam. Any bets on how wanky the fandom will be when the new series starts? (Also, CANON. Learn to spell it if you're gonna use it.) I see the debate rages at Jump the Shark too. War of the shark-spotting.

So I got tagged twice. First we have canadian_kazz, with random facts meme.


1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever wants to do it.

1. I've been on the Norwegian national news wearing a red and pink outfit. I was ten. The shame never dies.
2. I always paint my toenails in summer and never my fingernails at all. Currently, it's purple polish.
3. The book I'm reading at the train to and fro work at the moment is Bill Bryson's A Short History of Everything.
4. Once, crossing a snow-filled field, I got a boot stuck and couldn't get it loose again. (The snow was at least half a metre high, did I mention?) Eventually I had to get help getting me loose. The boot stayed there till spring.
5. I prefer to suck peanuts rather than chew them.
6. I get really thrilled at getting recced, but feel vaguely embarrassed at own squee and never know if I should thank people or not.
7. I'm not much of a breakfast person. It takes me at least an hour after I got up before I'm even thinking about maybe getting food.

I tag seven people to comment with "Facts pwn". Hah.

Tagged by dreamingwriter - Seven songs I'm into now.

List seven songs you are into right now, no matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Postgirobygget, "Tidløs".
2. Alejandro Fuentes, "Tomorrow Only Knows".
3. Trang Fødsel, "Hammock".
4. Gyllene Tider, "Sommartider".
5. Thrall's theme in World of Warcraft.
6. Kings of Convenience, "Parallel Lines".

Oh, I hate the long. The lyrics are inane. But it is everywhere and my brain hates me. HATEFUL SONG DIE.

I sometimes sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and it does block out every other song, but then it kinda drives me insane. And now it got stuck in my mind. Why did I mention it? ARGH.

;)
