a++ would smuggle into space again

OKAY, first of all, white_lotus: for all your Dreamwidth A:TLA needs! They're holding a flash challenge for post-series stuff, so, do that.

Second of all: if you were notified about the LJ purging of "inactive" journals and communities, be aware that they've changed it (after I started posting in all my old communities) to only purge communities or journals that have one entry and no comments on that entry, and then only after 42 days of warning notice. I hate them kind of a lot right now.

Those of you who are on my flist on LJ should be aware that I'm going to do a massive flist cut in the near future -- not out of any animosity, but because I've pretty much stopped using LJ as a social media site. Unless I know you well and you don't crosspost to Dreamwidth I'll be removing you. This shouldn't be a problem for most people because OpenID is always open over here, as are anonymous comments, but if it is, please let me know. Basically if I had you friended a month ago you will have access to my DW barring unforeseen circumstances.

Thirdly: the monster at the end of this book, ~800 words, Homestuck/Doctor Who. Spoilery as hell.

Catching up on Who and pregaming for Pink Saturday: a fairly magical experience. Oh fuck I love this show. I mean Vampires in Venice is terrible, Amy's Choice is going to depress me terribly, but being slightly drunk and very enthusiastic about this harem is making my life PRETTY GOOD SO FAR.

No spoilers in comments, OBVIOUSLY.

What do you wear to parties when all your skirts are long and all your shirts are drapey or hideous?

SKJKLDJK CHILDLIKE WONDER MIXED WITH A SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY

( who 5x02. as usual, some overanalysis )

So, this weekend was a little slice of amazing. In which I:

1. had a Passover Seder in a hotel room with my family -- and it was fabulous, by the way, and I have leftovers right now in my dorm room, and the hotel room smelled like shank bone the whole time we were there, after which we

2. watched Live Free or Die Hard, which was ridiculously awesome, and -- yes -- did have the world's best car chase in it. And also Justin Long, with whom I am more than a little in love (my parents call him, mysteriously, "your boyfriend that nerd kid from Galaxy Quest." Why Alan Rickman, who is also in Galaxy Quest, didn't live in their memory this way I will never know.) Then the next day we

3. went to Wicked. Two subpoints on this one:
a) Where is the femslash? I want the good stuff! I will review this play for you in comments if you'd like, but do not want to clutter an uncut post.
b) Distressingly, I have a crush on the Wizard.

4. saw the New Pornographers and Okkervil River.
a) Okkervil River: I am the only person who thinks that this is what the Decemberists look like to people who do not love them, but honestly, A Stone eta: here is like really early Colin, and I wish the musicianship all round was a little tighter and also that Will Sheff did not feel so sorry for himself. But I think a lot of you, especially those of you who are bandslash folks, will enjoy this band if you do not already! If anyone has good covers of their songs, I would also enjoy hearing them, because I like "Ends With a Fall" and "A Stone" and that one about Marie and even "Westfall" but I cannot listen to Will Sheff too much.
b) THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS DO NOT NEED DAN BEJAR OR NEKO CASE TO ROCK. Patter-free concert. Very efficient rocking. I went with an a cappella groupmate; we do Bleeding Heart Show, so when they performed it we jumped up and down and harmonized the shit out of that song. So much fun.

5. Saw the first two eps of season four of Who, both of which I enjoyed, ridiculous and Rusty-problematic though they were. Am not looking forward to ep three from the reviews I've seen but am really, really fond of Donna. Really really fond.

Tonight I have to:

1. write a whole paper.

OKAY I SWEAR THIS IS REALLY THE LAST POST FOR TODAY

( once again: spoilers for DH and Doctor Who )

Incredibly pointless (but amused) observation of the day: Both Withnail and "I" have played slightly non-canon Doctors.

Now that's a cross-over I'd love to see.

I will be home tonight, ladies and gents.

(This will seem very strange if you have not in fact noticed that I have been gone, which might be understandable, PEONS.)

Points of interest:

1) Tell Aria not to wear a beanie. For serious.

2) Stuart Townsend does not make a convincing Dorian. Nevertheless, he gets points for going, "Growl," in that particular manner.

3) Happy birthday, Ji. *beams at you* In honour of your birthday I will admit to my new obsession with the word totes. I BLAME YOU. It is a horrible word and I totes want no truck with it.

SEE HOW WEIRD THAT SENTENCE SOUNDS. AUGH.

4) ... ... ... oh Rose. *is kilt by the Satan Pit*
