Revolting beyond belief.
I am ashamed–of the people who did this, of the leaders who let it happen and by their silence condoned it, of the Bush administration’s continuing efforts to pretend it’s a few rogue individuals instead of a systemic rot. If there’s a God, he’d damned well better not be on our side, […]

Circus option looking more attractive daily.
On the bright side, the figs are getting ripe. The birds got the first one, but not too badly, and I ate the next two for breakfast this morning. There should be two more ripe by tomorrow. Figs are strange; their flower, such as it is, […]
Now THAT was a freaking great episode. Normally I’m all “Yeah, plot, who cares, you guys can’t plot your way out of an open closet, bring on the Hugh Laurie snark!” But this was just a brilliant little gem of playing with their own formula. The flashbacks and flash-forwards, the intertwining of […]
I think I’m going to run away and join the circus. That was always my problem with running away as a kid: no goals. I would carefully pack my stuff in a red bandana and tie it to the end of a stick because that was the approved method for running away. […]
Mmm. Lovely weather the last few days, sunny but not too hot, lots of fluffy clouds. We took my Mom and my sister’s MIL out for Mother’s day–Mom was on her usual boring-American-food kicks, so it was just Black Angus. Service was mind-numbingly slow. I feel like going out for Indian […]
It is a sad measure of maturity when your splurgy purchase for the weekend is a microwave oven. But it’s new and pretty and has shiny buttons!
Outside of my peculiar Spike/Buffy obsession, I’m pretty much a non-shipping canon ho. If a story does even a half-decent job of selling me a pairing, I’ll […]
Question: are there any good Doctor Who fic sites or communities? For any Doctor? I don’t object to shippiness, but I’m primarily looking for good solid plot and characterization.
The first episode of 3Deep is up here.
(goes to hide nervously in a corner)
The Daleks are probably THE Doctor Who villain. For all that they got overused at times, and that the iffy special effects of the 60s and 70s led to such silliness as galaxy-conquering robots who could be thwarted by a flight of stairs, when handled right, the Daleks were the scariest goddam pepperpots on […]
Brief Hitchhiker’s review
Posted in General on May 1st, 2005
As sillymagpie said, mostly harmless.
I didn’t hate it. I didn’t love it, either. The casting was fine, the special effects, while not top of the line, were perfectly acceptable. Wasn’t crazy about the design for Marvin or the Heart of Gold, but that’s minor. And it was a kick seeing the […]
