In the life:
I have duly gotten cards for all of you have asked and I'll be sending them out on Saturday. But writing that many by hand gave me wrist pains - tells you something about how used we are to typing these days, huh? Also, apologies for my dreadful handwriting and lame text. I was running out of clever things to say around the 30th card.
Note for Saturday - I will be having a traditional Eurosong reaction post, so bring your comments, snark and Eurosong silly for it. BRING IT ON EUROPE. (Non-Europeans are welcome to join.) Norway even managed to qualify for the finale, but alas, Ireland's turkey did not. Another semi is tonight.
After watching too much DVDs lately, I find myself trying to fast forward while watching television. Oops. Case in point, watching yesterday's BSG on Norwegian telly. "The Woman King". Some episodes so need fast forward on rewatching. That's one of them. I couldn't figure out why my constant FF-pressing didn't work until after a few tries. Fail is me.
Brother has announced his visit for the summer at the end of June. He's demanded I have season three of Doctor Who for him to watch, I've demanded he watch Battlestar Galactica as well. We came to an agreement after some Babylon 5 discussion. Hah. My family is full of geeks.
In the news:
No, CNN, it is *not* okay to call a woman 'white bitch' and then defend it with 'well, she is!' in a serious discussion on national television.
The day you have that discussion about McCain and whether it's okay to call him a white prick in the same setting, then come talk to me. I'd still smack you in the face, but you know, I'd talk to you while I did it.
American politics give me headaches of woe and argh.
In the fandoms:
Er, Supernatural fandom? Anything you wanna tell me about the show there that doesn't make it sound quite as dodgy?
Man, all I know about Supernatural fandom is based on its appearances on f_w, random stuff I see on my flist and fanfic summaries I catch now and then while skimming. That makes a rather interesting picture in my head, yes. Meathooks are involved of late.
Which makes for a meme:
Summarize a fandom you have not seen the source material of but have heard stuff about based soley on impressions from your flist, wank communities or fanfics you've seen around for it. Checking wikipedia to get things accurate is cheating.
