Yes, I've been spammy of late. Sorry.

Didn't get any work on my Festivids entry done today. Blast. I've only got maybe 50 seconds left to do...perhaps later. I don't suppose anyone might be interested in having a look at the rough draft when I'm done with it? Drop me a comment and we'll talk.

It's time for Matt to watch one of my films--he showed me The Big Lebowski, so he gets to see O Brother, Where Art Thou? We may be trying to get through a bunch of Coen stuff and Westerns before True Grit comes out. It's a hell of a lot better than what's on telly here tonight...no offence to the many of you who may watch X-Factor or American Idol, but that is so very not my thing. About as not my thing as Glee is.*

Meanwhile, on the weather front, there's been a thaw here that's run long and warm enough to melt EVERYTHING that had fallen. There isn't much else to say about it except that it was perfectly timed as the shops were running out of perishables thanks to frozen roads. And that I was tired of worrying that I would fall and break my head open, or that Matt would fall and break his head open as his balance is off due to his hand, and...you get the idea.

It is now the real Scotland In December again, which is to say, damp and a bit sullen. I can live with that.


* Even completely setting aside the compounded pile o' fail--I mean, I'm a Star Trek fan, ffs, I know cognitive dissonance--I refuse to watch anything set in a high school in the last ten years, particularly US Midwestern high schools.

*is bad with vids* Sorry :( Best of luck with the final product.

I've sworn off telly except for recommendations by friends. It doesn't help that I've been hounded for being ~too srs~ about my choices. Sue me, but I'm taking Serial Experiments Lain over that mindless drivel that kills my brain cells faster than old age.

Edinburgh is clear as well. Have a lovely weekend!

I...don't watch nearly enough telly of my own accord, which is a weird spoon thing. Like, I haven't seen most of Doctor Who S4 or S5, though part of that was timing and part of it was being so damn disgruntled by what happened to Martha Jones and then hearing about the Donna situation at the end of S4.

Hope your weekend is good too!

Mine's a spoon-issue as well, though I'm known to take some liberties with them. S5 is sort of okayish but you begin to see how heteronormative Moffat is. The fandom, however, is a cesspool and I stay away from that slew of privilege. I may be masochistic but I don't have a death wish.

I used to be into DW fandom, but now I stick to the people I know are looking at stuff thoughtfully and avoid the rest of it liek woah. 'sides, most of fandom isn't interested in how I'm interested in DW, even non-politically (which is to say: shipping Doctor/Everybody Ever, and positive historical revisionism ftw).

[azuire]

Aye, I never got into fandom because nobody was ever interested in things the same way I was. Sadly I discovered this corner too late :( so I can only manage meta at best, not transformative fic. Though I have been coerced into the mainstream: my friends are too eager to read my odd little subversions.
