I have icons again! YAY!

So, DreamWidth is opening up soon. I have no invite code, so I have no journal. Okay.

That night, Edward starred in my dreams...

I've been joking for months about going to see the Twilight movie. Now, the opening weekend is fast approaching, so I'm trying to get a feel of who'd actually be interested and has time to go see the movie.

I work Friday and Saturday, and get back around 7pm, so Friday or Saturday showings would have to be around 7, 7:30 or so. Sunday I'm free all day.

If I've missed something, comment. :D

Poll #1294488 A perfect statue, carved in some unknown stone, smooth like marble, glittering like crystal.

I want to go see Twilight in SF:

Yes, it's going to be amazing!

4(30.8%)
No, WTF are you on?
2(15.4%)
I'd like to, but I live elsewhere and thus am not cool enough.

I had an amazing weekend, y'all! I think that if I had to choose between Yaoicon and BAScon, BAScon would win-- it's smaller, it's quieter, and, like ladyjax said at one point, it's sort of like the family reunion at Thanksgiving.
(This is not to say I didn't enjoy Yaoicon-- there are a few people on my friendslist who should know just how much I adored seeing them. Just that BAScon was more of the fun stuff without some of the stressing that I dealt with at the other.)

Also, I would like to note I'm keeping the BAScon panel writeups for possible bidding at Yaoicon next year. There were some AMAZING panels. Specifically, I'm thinking Rebecca's (blueraccoon, I think) "Religion in Slash" panel, Lady Ra's "OTP" panel, coniraya's "(Internalized) Misogyny and Slash", and ladyjax's "Livejournal and the Limits of Online Fandom". Of course, I need to ask their permission to steal the ideas, but Y-con is overdue for something a little bit more serious. (Of course, there's always the "Club Denial" panel-- "D.L. Is pining for the fjords and Connor Kent is NOT DEAD.")

There was one black mark on the weekend, but I'll deal with that when I've put some time between me and the issue so I can look at it clearly without spazzing the fuck out the way I did last night.


In other news, I won a vid from the lovely and very accomodating Chicafrom3 at Sweet Charity this year. I had a specific idea (because she was the only person offering Dresden Files fandom stuff), but then i got into Heroes and she does Heroes vids too. And now I'm all flustered and don't know what to request. So you guys should help me.

I have three ideas, but two of them don't have song choices.

Also, I know there are other ideas, and y'all should provide me with them. And music.
(Chicafrom3's fandom list is Andromeda, Animorphs, Doctor Who (new), Farscape, Firefly, Hairspray (2007), Heroes, Lost, Newsies, Psych, Roswell, The Black Donnellys, The Breakfast Club, The Chronicle, The Dresden Files, The Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood)

Poll #1083357 You Know Your Story's Touching, But It Sounds Like a Lie

What vid should I request?

Matt/Mohinder (Heroes) Song TBA
5(62.5%)
Bennet/Haitian (Heroes) Song TBA
0(0.0%)
Morgan (Dresden Files) "Straighten Up and Fly Right" by Dianne Reeves
3(37.5%)
Something else strange and new to be noted in the comments
0(0.0%)

What all songs should I be looking at?

It's International Blog Against Racism Week!

I was going to say I couldn't think of anything personal to write about (but I would be lying.) It's really just that I was watching Power Rangers last night when I realized that it was IBARW. So now I want to talk about race and Power Rangers.

Should I?

Poll #1035067 Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists

What would your reaction be if I wrote an International Blog Against Racism Week post about Power Rangers?

Interesting...
12(20.7%)
WOW. Geeky.
12(20.7%)
Is that show still on?
6(10.3%)
Hold up. Wasn't that the show where the black ranger was black and the yellow ranger was asian?
12(20.7%)
Why are you wasting your time on this?
2(3.4%)
I'd much rather you write something personal instead of fannish.
0(0.0%)
My thoughts on Power Rangers and/or race. Let me show you them.
4(6.9%)
Ticky has no race, ticky has no gender. Ticky is the perfect box.
10(17.2%)


Also, I just like making polls.

I'm just thinking out loud here

This may or may not have anything to do with something I'm writing anything.

But I was talking to dragon_momma yesterday about what the Impala would look like as a human, and she disagreed with me on a few salient points (the biggest of which is that she thinks the Impala is a boy, but the Impala's being female is non-negotiable.) A few tweaks to the story thing that may or may not exist have made me a little wibbly on her appearance too.

So I'm wondering how the rest of you see her.

What? It's LATE.

It's 1 am.

I, personally, happen to think that the only type of facial piercing that would suit me is an eybrow piercing. (For your edification, here is me, from last Sunday.)

Dear f-list, please advise.

Poll #998035 Hey, babe. You scan me for plague-bearing parasites and I'll scan you.

Should Ryuu get an eyebrow piercing?

Yes
14(66.7%)
No
7(33.3%)
I'm your girlfriend. Didn't we already have this discussion?
0(0.0%)
Get some other piercing
0(0.0%)
There is no Law of Five
0(0.0%)

Some other piercing? Commentary on how stupid I am?




And, in case anyone didn't know, I think my girlfriend is seriously the hottest woman on the planet. I'm just sayin'.

Bad!fic

I'm trying not to spaz at school stuff. Indulge my curiousity, oh fannish-types!

Poll #919881 There's ways to test that. I brought holy water.

What does bad!fic mean to you?

Mary Sues

All of these bring something to the party and the author set them in the fridge to let their flavors mellow. Your patience will be rewarded.

4(3.6%)
You forgot a meaning, dammit! [explain below]
5(4.5%)

Don't yell at me! What did I forget?



According to bloodsin, our fic "sucks like a Russian whore." comixologist told him not to talk about Piotr that way.

Also, amusingly, despite the fact that neither of us really spoiled ourselves to coming episodes, our fic ended up with a similar plot to next week's episode. Heh. I should work for Kripke.

Mmm, food. And another poll!

I'm getting tired of just cooking for parents.

Dinner Party?

Sure! The 14th is best for me.

So. I broke my iPod.

About a month ago I found out I'd screwed up the inside of the headphone jack on my iPod (I was using gigantic studio headphones.) I brought it in and the dudez at the Apple store went all Superman and fixed it for me. Fast forward to now-- my headphones stop playing out of the right ear. Since headphones just tend to die around me, for whatever reason (I've been through three pairs in about a month and a half...) I sighed and wandered off to buy a new pair. Low and behold, the right speaker wasn't working on that one either.

So when mom got home and decided "Hey, you got new shoes from Hot Topic, I want new shoes from Hot topic!" I wandered into the Apple store to be all "Hay guyz, fix my fragging iPod." To which I got the response "Is your playlist backed up on the computer? Here."

So I have a new iPod, and GIR's gone (along with half my episodes of House-- I'm lucky I didn't cull the rest of my vids, the way I was planning to). Now I need a name for this guy.


Poll #834105 You didn't think I was going to let you do this without the original Red Ranger, did you?

What Should Ryuu name her new iPod?
