Let's see, recent happenings...
I hid out the last couple days, as I usually do every year around this time. Count me as media-saturated and incredibly tired. It's not like I am EVER likely to forget what happened. And that is all I'm gonna say about that.
In the same vein, I avoided the stagegay controversy like the plague. Count me as someone who doesn't know enough to weigh in on the allegedly offensive comparisons that were drawn, but still has the opinion that some people (in this case, the original poster and starter of the kerfuffle) seem to look for things to get offended about.
Buffy comic book this week was pretty good, but brutally short, I felt. Comics just get shorter and shorter, don't they? With bigger and bigger panel layouts. I read yesterday that there's some stirrings in fandom preemptively freaking out over a possible Buffy/Xander relationship in the comic. I have to say, I see the brother/sister love and closeness vibe, but nothing beyond that. The Faith/Giles vibe looks far more likely, which is to say, remotely possible. Which is to say, not a chance.
Wait. WAIT! This just in: New Highlander the Series Movie on Sci-Fi! HFS! OMG! Other three letter abbreviations for shock, awe and joy! I freaking LOVED this show. And Duncan, yum! You pastry with muffiny filling, you!
After careful consideration, I've come to the conclusion that, yes, I really do like Emo music. This is not surprising. My love of drama, melodrama, and angst makes me a perfect candidate for loving Emo. However, if I hear Hey There, Delilah one more motherf**king time, I will NOT be responsible for my actions.
I've been on a Lifehouse kick for weeks, now. It's all I've been listening to on my iPod and my home playlist. I've been trying to figure out for the longest time exactly what it is about this band that pulls me in, and last night, I figured out it's not any one thing; it's all of it, together. The composition, the meter, the lyrics, the heart. I just find it so inspiring. Yes, I am a total sap.
SPN fandom is being so good to me. I am SO lucky that there are so many good stories out there that even after the voracious amount of reading I've done, I still stumble across more excellent stories every day. I have recs, many of them, that I'll post separately in a bit. Meanwhile, my brain is being eaten alive by the characters and regurgitated as fic. I swear, it's like a sickness. Talk about obsession. It's been a while since I was this enthralled.
And this concludes our tour of random. Thank you for joining me, ladies and gentlemen, and have a great day! MWAH! |
