| I hope all of you know about Desert Bus for Hope. If you don't, it's a group of sorry bastards who play the most tedious game ever made (it was specifically designed to be tedious) to raise money for Penny Arcade's "Child's Play" charity. The live feed of the guys is hilarious and the live feed of the bus is delightfully mellow, and you can make special requests with your donation! (E.g. have the crew sing a particular song or put on a silly hat). The bus is rolling again, and as of the moment they started they were committed to drive that bus for 97 hours. That's from money raised before they started, over $10,000! Roll on you crazy fuckers. ETA: For those of you on Twitter, there is an effort to keep #desertbus up in the trending topics! Come on, let's beat out New Moon! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||

| I happened to zap into Avatar on TV, so I can tell you again that I love Avatar ohsomuch and my favorite characters are pretty much everyone. I also saw the first Narnia movie again and I doubt that I said so the first time: I would totally kick a lion for Jadis if she asked me to. Because she is just that awesome. Not for the part of the movie she spends bullying a mopey kid, even though she's good at that too. It's more the riding into battle in her frigging polar bear chariot that gets to me. *flails* On a tangent, why didn't they just give the Galadriel wig temporarily to Tilda Swinton for the part after Frodo offered his ring instead of using their bad special effects filters? That would have been so much better! I wonder about this every time I see her in a movie. In my mind she's pretty much fierce!Galadriel. I'm not quite sure how that happened though. I'm finally done with the fourth installment of the Sookie Stackhouse series. That took me ages, partially because I reread three Pratchett books in between. My need for cherished boredom was just that great recently. I have to say, the Discworld books start looking really really badly written if you continue reading them after the fifth time. :| The German translation at any rate. Anyway, Sookie books still terrible at plot but lots of fun. Life's never boring when you're Sookie Stackhouse! :D I'm cat-sitting again this weekend but I fled because the allergy was getting bad. This is getting really annoying and I feel like the cats think I hate them when I spend so little time with them. No loss from a cat picture point of view though, because it is the time of the year where all cat pictures ( look like this anyway. ) | ||||

| 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. continued at: http://annlarimer.livejournal.com/93438 | ||||||||||

| The November 17 issue of MAD Magazine will feature Sarah Palin as Blunder Woman, "where she battles against David Letterman, imaginary death panels, and her desire to quit everything she does." That face is a pretty good likeness, though, so I guess Liefeld isn't involved in any way. | ||||

 What would a similar cut to this, but unstraightened, look like? QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED TO MY SATISFACTION IN THAT APPARENTLY A HAIRCUT LIKE THAT WITHOUT THE STRAIGHTENING WOULD LOOK KIND OF AWESOME. In other news! I'm reading The Discworld Graphic Novels which is the Colour of Magic and the Light Fantastic and it is fabulous to finally own legal copies of these comics. They are basically how I picture Rincewind and Twoflower, explaining how the live action Colour of Magic was a tad bit jarring for me. That is all. Carry on. | ||||||

| ( A couple paragraphs of Intro... ) So, just moments ago I finished the entirety of the movie (with rifftrax so I wouldn't commit suicide while watching); and I have a few thoughts. The first is that as far as I am concerned the movie is INCREDIBLY faithful to the book; especially the overall mood and pacing, which is to say that it is INCREDIBLY SLOW AND BORING. This was one of my main complaints with the book too; how do you make a vampire love story BORING? To ME? Watching the movie of Twilight I finally figured out what really keeps me from enjoying it (at least the first book/movie). It isn't the writing; I can enjoy badly written stories if I like the plot and the characters. I've sat through Sailor Moon and other shojo anime and manga; and really at the end of the day that's what Twilight is. It's not Bella. I know everyone hates Bella, but I don't. I didn't hate her in the book. I LIKE Bella, a lot, I even empathize with her. Yes, she is a "weak-willed" female character who spends most of her time looking for a male to push her around. She's frail emotionally, and physically (clumsy). She's needy, but on the other hand, she knows what she wants. She wants a strong, sexy, deadly, emotionally powerful, physically powerful person to be her (yes I'm going to say it) to be her master. I can relate. And here's where we come to what I hate about Twilight. Edward. The boyscout, the Superman of "vampires". He's a pansy a goody-two-shoes who never has a moment of weakness. The titillation of the kind of romance Bella wants, and the kind that Twilight tries to pretend it portrays, comes from one thing, a trace of fear. I explored this in my Mary-Sue/Syndrome 'Incredibles' fanfiction, CCR. Some people want someone to serve, and someone who they know they should be a little afraid of. Bella wants Lestat and she ends up with Clark Kent. And for me, that just kills the romance, and the enjoyment. Going back to the Sailor Moon allusion, in the first season of SM Usagi has good reasons to be afraid of Mamouru, and as long as he's in the story, they never quite go away. He has a force of personality and a demanding persona that Edward lacks completely. And as a Vampire; a creature of violence and sex sublimated INTo violence, that's just inexcusable. | ||||||

| So I went to go see Paranormal Activity last night, and I had a question. After the screen goes black at the end, does anything happen? I was waiting for the credits, but they didn't come, just text explaining what happened to the characters and black, and since the lights went up, I assumed it was over, but I've heard otherwise. Anyone know if anything important happened? Also, Night 20, holy crap! | ||||||

| The Takarazuka Revue is an all-female Japanese musical troupe, recently involved in some unfunnybusiness involving a girl expelled from a music school. And all is right (wrong?) in the unfunny world. Until someone speaks up and asks: "Is this like...the Japanes equivalent of the Pussy Cat Dolls?" AAAAAAND WE'RE OFF! "I love this community, use the word girl and you have 20 people jumping over you for being sexist, use the word skanky in a conversation with someone who made an honest mistake, then it's all OK." Actually, this has kind of happened before. Remember kids, Poor Communication Kills. Or something. Also, believe in magic. ETA: "I'm just curious, why is racism becoming such a taboo topic on Fandom Wank, well, apart from the fact that people are getting burnt out by hearing about the subject."

| I did something I'm not too proud of today, flist. I'm told confession is good for the soul, so here it is. Please don't judge me too harshly: I was so desperate for science-type crime shows today to make up for my months long dry spell, I uh, I bought a season of CSI: Miami. I'd make a pun here and take off my glasses, but I suck at those so let's just say I did and call it even. | ||||||

So today marks the 20th aniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. What this means for me is that I've been alternatively blubbering and feeling really old whenever I watch the news, which is usually three to four times a day, sigh. I have a very vivid memory of watching the wall fall, live on the news. It wasn't the first time I became aware that the world was bigger than, like, my immediate family (that was Chernobyl, which I don't recall seeing on the news, but I do remember my mum and gran talking about the potential fallout), but it was the first time I felt actually connected to current events. It's also one of the few really vivid memories I have from before I was about ten -- I can still easily recall sitting crosslegged on the floor in front of the couch, watching the telly. (I actually spent years convinced this had to be an inaccurate memory, because the wall fell around 10 PM, which was way past my bed time, surely? Except it was a Thursday, so I would've been up late to watch Dallas anyway, and my parents confirmed that they'd have let me stay up to watch something this historical if I wanted to.)And then I became a news junkie in the worst way for the next decade or so, until 9/11 somewhat overdosed me on it and the subsequent Bush shenanigans forced me to put myself on a restricted news diet for a while, sigh. But to return to my orginal point: Yaye 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall! Excuse me while I go be easily manipulated and blubber some more. | ||||||||
