Okay, so furikku posted a meme about looking up the Billboard #1 song on your date of birth. I got Rapture by Blondie, which is neither the best nor the worst possibility for someone my age doing this meme, even with the somewhat ill-advised and rather surreal rap section. As an added bonus the lyrics work surprisingly well for a nerd determined to ( Read more... )

Oh hey so I got kind of worked up about Christmas music in another LJ thread, y'all can probably guess the general structure of it but nobody pulled a shiv so it's cool. Anyway I just wanted to let youse know what Crimbo music I've got in my playlist:

Super Mario's Sleigh Ride - The One-Up Mushrooms
Podsafe Christmas Song - Jonathan Coulton feat. ( Read more... )

So as some folks know I started in on the "Christ Clone Trilogy" on the basis that I had heard it was a decent science-fiction treatment of the premises of Left Behind (about which I have been reading this excellent blog) and it was off to a good start. The leadup of the events is considerably more plausible than LB, the characters come off as ( Read more... )

The recipe is kosher; if you're not worried about milk and meat you will probably want to replace the margarine with butter. The measurements are not precise, sorry ( Read more... )

So yeah, I gots to get my computer fixed of various woes. Hopefully it won't be a big deal, but I dunno how long it'll be - I might not get my computer back for a couple days. So I might be offline for a bit, or I might not, I dunno.

So recently I decided to catch up on Justice League, and by "catch up" I mean "read from the 2007 volume change up to the past few months". (Actually, the span that I wasn't reading JL for goes back longer than that, but the 2007 changeover made a convenient starting point.) Some of it was pretty good, some of it was pretty bad, but whatever. I ( Read more... )

Okay, so out of curiosity I decided to read the first four issues of Justice League: Cry For Justice (or, as it's apparently better-known due to questionable font choice on the cover, Gay For Justice). Now, I'm used to an obscure character who I liked dying in any crossover event. It's a staple of the genre these days. But this one is... different ( Read more... )

Hey wow, I finally post and it's a meme response.

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

Shoujo: I guess I'm not as much into shoujo above shounen as I used to be, but I think part of that is a matter of availability and what ( Read more... )
