The thing is, that while I love being places, I hate to travel. Or, rather, I hate packing, and worrying that I've forgotten things, and having to negotiate the world with a suitcase. I think I may associate all solo travel now with going to uni, ie, I'm perfectly capable of doing it, and yet hate it.

On the other hand: meeting scrollgirl and going to see many plays. I love the Fringe. :)

In other news: Eureka S3 has started in the US which means spoilers all over the place and I won't see it for months...; being tempted by multific because raedbard is because maybe I could finish Bright Exhalation...; Wonder Woman DVD trailer - please be awesome...; I am getting dangerously close to committing One Tree Hill fic because no one else has written the one I want to read. This way madness lies.

Will be contactable by e-mail, and may well be on LJ anyway, but if not I'll be back Sunday. Bye folks!

(Spurs just 'won' the Rotterdam Tournament)

I'm messing around in delicious.com, trying to get my tags in some kind of workable order. It's a very Sunday activity. Why is there not some fannish convention for how to tag things? (Or is there and have I just missed it?) I know I was a relatively late adopter, but I really like being able to organise my favourites the way I want to. Including all my own favourite themes and kinks, tagged my own way. I'd just like to be able to find other people's favourites too!

... It's not being able to use spaces that really screws things up. How I am I supposed to tag characters? And fandom names with spaces? I'm borderline OCD - all this inconsistency makes my brain hurt.

Also: having Dr Horrible on 'in the background' to get voices right was a foolish foolish plan. That way leads only to rewatching the whole thing...

( undead porn below )

I am in the worst mood today. Not even mad (though I've snapped at Brother3 a few times - I'm a bad sister), just kind of sad. It's been raining all day, which normally wouldn't bother me, but I just feel... I miss folks, and I still haven't heard back from either last week's interview or the last application form I handed in. I don't achieve an awful lot!

Speaking of which, porn battle has slowed down today. Total count is now at nine.
[West Wing: Sam/Toby; more Gossip Girl: Chuck/Dan/Nate/Blair/Serena orgy-ish; Grey's Anatomy: Cristina/Meredith; How I Met Your Mother: Barney/Ted]

Het and femslash and mixed moresomes. I think I need at least one more non-boyslash?

Porn Battle count is now at five. Despite my lack of perceptible porn writing ability or, in fact, writing ability at all. You know when you're waiting for something, and then it arrives, and you're excited, except then you can't make the pretty people have sex at all...? Yeah, that.

But you know what, I'm gonna write through it. *resolve face* If you can't force yourself to write a comments-worth of sex, you've got no business being in sports ;)

[Gossip Girl grown-up het; Gossip Girl teen-boy-slash; Torchwood M/M/F threesome; Chuck slash; Entourage/Iron Man slash - so pretty]

Extended version of an entry for oxoniensis's Porn Battle VI

Title: If not, leave him for me
Fandom: Gossip Girl
Pairing: Rufus/Lily
Rating: R
Length: 1,600 words
Disclaimer: All belongs to Josh Schwartz and the CW
Spoilers: All of Season 1, set sometime afterwards
Summary: Rufus had asked her to stop a wedding, so it is probably her turn for a grand gesture. She calls. Prompt was 'date', originally here.
AN: For my brother, who found the status of Rufus/Lily at the end of S1 less than satisfying. Title from 'Accidental Babies' by Damien Rice.

( het yay! )

OR "things black_eyedgirl has seen recently, and what she thought".

We (the brothers, Dad, and me), went to see The Dark Knight today. Brother2 was really looking forward to it. I was quite excited, but I preferred Superman Returns to Batman Begins, so it was a surprise to me that I liked this so much. (Though it's a dark movie and pushes the boundaries of 12A). On the way home, Brother2 and I pondered the fact that we can't really put ourselves in the place of 'the average moviegoer'. We both assumed that Harvey Dent's identity was common knowledge as part of the canon, but this was apparently not the case. Of course, then I started thinking about 'the average moviegoer' and how there's really no such thing. We all bring something into the cinema with us and we all interrogate the text from our own perspective ;) My perspective is one of a bisexual female, so mostly I notice the girls and I notice the queer. If there happens to be Irish people I'll notice that, but otherwise it often takes smarter people to point me at the race issues. I'm a liberal who fears authoritarian tendencies and also believes that the minimum a central government should offer is free and adequate health-care and education. So I notice right-wing bias, less so the left.

But I also tend to squee before I criticise when it's the stuff I love, so without recent metafandom posts there's a reasonable chance I wouldn't be pondering these movies/shows at all.

( spoilers for 'The Dark Knight', also 'Wall-E' and 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog' )

OTOH:
Wherein I will write at least one het and at least one femslash this time around. Poke me if it gets to the weekend and I haven't! Yell if there's anything in particular you'd like to see me write :)

Title: Every Death but One
Fandom: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Pairing: Dr. Horrible/Penny
