sarrenSince I STILL can't rec or code ANYTHING i'm going to dribble on instead. So in the newspaper today I see Latham is courting the 'sought after nerd vote' by comparing himself to Luke Skywalker and using other SW references. Hear that? Our vote is 'sought after' Who knew? Oh, except for the women nerds probably.
So I've been bumbling** about around ljs and links even more than usual. I found a community called Making Fun of Stupid People, which kept me amused for about 6.5 minutes, found out all about all the controvertial changes George Lucas has made to the original SW trilogy for the dvd release. (Gunguns!!! I want to cry) found Peter David's blog. Was reassured his political views are the right ones (ie match mine) Mind you, I tend to assume all us nerds think the same way, which is probably a tad naive.
And Michael Moore's letter to Bush 'It Takes Real Courage to Desert Your Post and Then Attack a Wounded Vet' among others
Go read the 17/9 lj entry by koaloha, who tired of fundamentalists in her face on the subway fought back with showtunes. When I stumbled over this I had just accidently watched an episode of SVU (which I generally avoid at all costs as sexual violence/violence against women upsets me. It's too close to home). But I was talking to Dragonfly, and Keller (whoever) is so pretty, and the next thing women were being raped on subway trains while other commuters did nothing. So reading the lj entry gave me a less traumatic perspective on riding the subway.
TPM is one fandom I've never got into, mostly due to my intense dislike of the latest films. But then fearlessdiva goes around around reccing TPM PleasureSlave!Porn fics. Who can resist that?
Also a hell of a lot of people seem to have suddenly gone 'Right, it is now my mission in life to put together a comprehensive list, complete with links of all the best Harry/Draco, or Harry/Snape, or even, hey, every pairing I can think of'. These people are my new best friends.
And I created my dmoc community and then did nothing constructive with it like, for example contacting the only other person I know of who likes it enough to write it, or putting anything in it myself. But I feel like I've done something constructive and that's what matters. *beams* Though I did lure Zebra over on the premise of rewatching Get Real and then forced her to watch DMOC. She was kind enough not to say anything abusive to me afterwards. And she's starting to appreciate Get Real. So I feel it was a win overall.
There was other stuff to but that's probably enough linkless recs for now. And also? Why am I typing this with freaking page formatting overlaid? (ie 'Screen Comments' etc) LJ really doesn't like me right now. *sulk*
**odd word choice but I've decided I like it.
