Why did nobody tell me that they are squirting the kids with water on Modern Family? We have been doing that for years!
(I love Modern Family so much.)

But seriously, it seems like statistically Barney from HIMYM should have an STD by now. At least herpes.

TGIF, everybodies


It's been a long, long week.  Here, have some Muppets.

And while we're on the subject of 1960s television

Everyone needs to know how much I love The Man from UNCLE. This is one of my favorite episodes, and not just because it's got William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy, pre-Trek, playing off each other and the main cast MAGICALLY.

Also, Illya, I love you. I love you so much.

(In more real-life news: I saw KISS on Sunday, and went to a car show twice last week, and dropped my laptop on the floor. ;_; But it was saved by science. NaNoWriMo has been, well, an interesting experience so far. I start work in a little under two weeks. That's more or less it.)

Well, I now have a job lined up and a roommate moving in starting tonight. I also have three papers due next week. I'm a little bit stressed, and I'm not sure how to calm down. Besides cleaning and exercising that is. Deep breaths, self, deep breaths!

I also picked up Nano this year! Did anyone else? I'm like, four days behind D: For a while I just couldn't concentrate on anything, and I barely wrote. This cold weather just makes me want to curl up in bed and do nothing. Bah!

Anyway, could be so much worse. Dark Forces is keeping me sane. How are you folks?

As I set up my google calendar, I realize google owns just a little bit more of my soul than before.

I got new toys. There's jawas and storm troopers and... girl troopers. Exciting.

so weak and powerless over you

So apparently some people are in an uproar over President Obama bowing to Emperor Akihito of Japan. Even Miss Manners oh-so-smugly weighs in (not that she's usually relevant to today's world). I fail to see the grave offense; first of all, it is Japan. Everyone bows. Yes, the President isn't just anyone, but it's roughly equivalent to a handshake, and I for one feel that he shouldn't be below him to put forth polite gestures such as it. Second of all, he is the Emperor. Give me a break. Would such uproar take place were Obama to genuflect before the pope?

If one wants to criticise him, I suppose one could correct his form, which was rather awkward. But the simpering about how it either shows weakness or is just Not Done smacks of cultural imperialism, lingering insecurity, and stereotypical US-American arrogance.

Maybe I need to do some situps or something

On the tube today I was standing between seats, reading a book, minding my own business when the gentleman sitting in front of me looked up. The following exchange occurred:

Him: Would you like to sit?
Me: No thank you, I’m getting of at the next one so I’m fine.
Him: Sorry, I didn’t realise earlier.
Me: ….

He thought I was pregnant. I know my posture is a bit crap when I’m standing on the tube so my gut kinda gets pushed out a bit, but I’m starting to consider getting a t-shirt that says “Not pregnant – just snacks too much.”

obligatory DW rant here

Apparently, because a desperate and grief-stricken Rose absorbed the Time Vortex and saved the Doctor's life only for him to suck it out her & regenerate, that the remnant power of the Vortex has been slowly turning him mad, as we saw in Waters of Mars.

Okay! Sweet theory, must admit.

Oh, did I mention IT'S ALL ROSE'S FAULT? Cause she made him regenerate and she "selfishly" took the Vortex in her (because fuck, in her severely emotional state, she couldn't remember anything from Boom Town -- HOW DARE SHE HAS FEELINGS FOR HER BEST FRIEND/GIRLCRUSH ARRRGH) and if Rose was still around after Doomsday, she would have just fucked him up even more and egged him on to be a lonely god of emoness.

I LOOK FOR LOGIC; I FIND NONE. I FIND NOOOOOOONE. ;______;

FAN THEORY I JUST MADE UP GUYS REALLY: The Ninth Doctor takes the Vortex energy out of Rose to SAVE HER LIFE and accidentally sees everything, including the break of the time lock surrounding the War by the Master and the ~triumphant return~ of Gallifrey. When he regenerates, he forgets, but the closer he comes to the event horizon when everything will change (SUP "END OF TIME") his mind slowly turns against him to keep him from remembering. Thus, the madness and arrogance and Lonely God shtick we've been seeing, the constant reinforcing of I'M SO ALOOOOONE AND THE ONLY TIME LORD ;_____; ---- so he never remembers that Gallifrey is coming back, until it becomes impossible to hold back and that ---- swush. (Swush?)

Gallifrey comes back, the Time War is broken out of his lock, insert some crap with Daleks, and by the end the Doctor is no longer alone and also looks like that one chap from Party Animals. SWUSH! REGENERATE!

Yeah?

My brain won't cooperate and concentrate on work or writing, so in lieu of anything meaningful here's an out of context IM quote from one of my friends.

I'm more than you could ask for and none of what you need

In the USA, there is a ban that was enacted this year on the production by companies, import, or sale of flavoured cigarettes. This includes components for rolling one's own, as well: filters, rolling papers, and tobacco meant for use in roll-your-own cigarettes. However, this does not appear to apply to loose pipe tobacco which is sold as such. What else can pipe tobacco be used for? One guess.

Supposedly, the aim is to prevent teenagers from smoking. Oddly, I've never met anyone who started up on flavoured cigarettes that weren't menthol - which isn't banned. Whether or not it's particularly effective is up for debate; at least, I've yet to find an actual citation for surveys indicating that teenagers begin to smoke on flavoured cigarettes. Unless by flavour they do mean menthol, which is popular, perhaps for its numbing effect.

This doesn't effect the legality of hookah shisha, either. Hookah being wildly popular among college students and younger people in general (and carding being ridiculously lax at any hookah bar I've ever visited, in and out of Chicago, although those could be exceptions), I wonder when it will it will be the next target?

The prohibition feels somewhat toothless, given the menthol exception, and the possibility of an individual's ability to still wiggle past the law (as far as I can tell, it's not illegal to make flavoured cigarettes for one's own use; there's nothing keeping individuals from making their own mixes, nor flavouring tobacco themselves). I'll be curious to see if it has any real effect on smoking among teenagers.

While the plural of anecdote is obviously not anecdata, I suspect from my experience that it won't. I'd like to see the numbers, a few years from now.

Oh yeah, almost forgot.

I have an AO3/OTW invite if anyone wants one.

never had it crossed my mind that one so young would come to find a power greater than my own

Google Reader picks of the past week or so (a probably non-reoccurring feature; I just have a large build-up of starred articles, right now):

- Via Sex Crimes: Is Carrie Prejean A Sex Offender?
Part of me feels this shouldn't be in the public eye quite so much. This is an interesting discussion, however.
- Via Sociological Images: The Klondike Bar: Now For Dudes Only
Obvious sexism aside, why on Earth would an advertising campaign limit its aims like this?
- Via The Die Line: Before and After: Royalty [perfume]
I do enjoy packaging and advertising, though. This is very stylish.
- Via Japan Probe: Has international media coverage of Hawker murder peddled an ugly strand of uninformed stereotyping?
Answer: I'm rather inclined towards yes, in this case; also, don't read the comments.
- Via Jezebel: Are Gay Stereotypes Keeping us From Making Progress?
Answer: Umn... Obviously.
- Via Feministe: Chris Surette: Worst Person in the World? [possible triggers]
Even our paper isn't this bad.
- Via Jezebel: Rapists Admit Repeated Crimes [possible triggers]
My skin crawls.
- Via Picture is Unrelated: Rubber Ducky Overload
I want it.
- Via Sociological Images: Facebook Needs to Know
No it doesn't.

fic post: hard cheese (hot fuzz)

TITLE: Hard Cheese
FANDOM: Hot Fuzz
AUTHOR: annlarimer
WORD COUNT: Eleventy-something thousand.
RATING: PG fer the cussin', bloodshed, and shit that blows up
WARNINGS: American spelling; don't try this at home even though I totally want to; slurs against the French.
SUMMARY: "Saxon was all enraged and savaged the ever-lovin' fuck out of the poor cheese."
NOTES: Crit is love.
CREDITS: at the end
DISCLAIMER: I no has Fuzzburger. Is Rogue's Fuzzburger!


Nicholas Angel was vaguely surprised to find that the Swan was not only still standing, but open for business. During his time in hospital, as both patient and spectator, his mental picture of Sandford had somehow developed into one of a large, smoking crater, with decorative ironwork and flowerpots. But the door of the hotel was open, the lights were on, and pop music leaked quietly from somewhere.

He was dressed in a St John Ambulance sweatshirt and a borrowed pair of Cartwright's jeans, cuffed at the bottom. He smelled of hospital. He needed a shower to rid himself of his last shower.
