Stuck at an airport, Alan Rickman being hot doesn't make Snape a saint and various stuff

[misscam]

A Chinese national has been barred entry to China and is now living at an airport in Japan. You can read his blog here.

*eyeballs Chinese government* Seriously, seriously uncool. I worry about the direction in China sometimes. Over 30 years since Mao died now and China's economy has opened, but the government hasn't opened much else.

Where will China be in another 30 years? For that matter, where will Norway be? Where will the world be? Man, I almost wish I had a flashforward to know. But I'm probably going to have to use the old-fashioned time machine to find out - life, day by day.

Meanwhile in fandom, Snape fans go off on Lily and anyone not Snape, basically. Okay, Alan Rickman IS hot (mmm-mm) but you can lust him without turning Snape into Victim of the World That Only You Understand, trust me. And without turning on sexist language and character bashing too.

(Incidentally, am I the only one to like Alan Rickman and not go mad for Snape?)

Various stuff:

- All gifts and cards were sent last week for those who signed up, so if they haven't arrived already, they will soon. (I know some have - it's nice of you let me know so I don't have to worry about lost post.) Hope they cheer up a bit.

- Been nominated for a Spock/Uhura award, apparently. (In the pre-movie category, for The Logic of Languages.) Since I've only written three for that pairing, I'm pretty flattered. Reminds me I should finish my Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover when I get time, though.

- Having the Week of Hell, which should hopefully end after the 15th when my holiday starts. If I am a bit grumpy and on edge meanwhile, please forgive me.

- New patch for World of Warcraft this week. Time to take on some Lich King arrogance, yo.

- Someone stole a Walking With Dinosaurs dinosuar! Okay, those things are proper awesome, but still. Bad thieves!

But I'm probably going to have to use the old-fashioned time machine to find out - life, day by day.

That was beautiful. Felt like something you'd write in a fic of yours. :)

[misscam]

Not at all. I wrote 'second by second' in a fic, totally different thing.

[falena]

Bzuh? Are you actually...plagiarising yourself? ;)

I didn't realise you'd used a similar line in a fic of yours (jog my memory - which one was it?)

Also, you made me rewatch the Texas video and now I need to find a HQ copy to take screencaps for iconing purposes. You're a baaad influence.

[misscam]

Yes. I am supremely lazy.

I even named the fic after the line, basically - Life's a Time Machine.

BWHAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm the best kind of bad influence, babe. Admit it.

[falena]

Yes. You're a perv-enabler!

[misscam]

Now if only that was a job that came with a paycheck...

Should probably stick 'perv-enabler' on my profile or an icon, lol.

I've not seen all the movies (or read all the books) but YANA. I liked him most as the Metatron in "Dogma".

[misscam]

I've liked him in lots of movies, not sure I have a favourite. But I dunno, Snape just does nada for me.

Dogma it's truly been ages since I watched. Hmm.
