wink wink nudge nudge
my daughter and i were watching Social Network when we realised that we were already using Livejournal around the time Zuckerberg apparently started dissing his college girlfriend in his LJ site. it is said that coincidences are God's way of winking at us. i never did like it when someone winks at me. -
couching potato
i am down for the count since yesterday. i have flu-like symptoms. headache, joints that feel like jelly, etc. i was planing to pop in House in the DVD and try to diagnose myself (yeah, i'm delusional), but my daughter beat me to the remote and so now i'm watching this tv series called Tower Prep which is like Hogwarts School or Xavier Academy for ( Read more... ) -
even when i watch aeryn and crichton i end up whining about buffy and spike
i can't work when it's too quiet so whether i am cleaning, washing, cooking or doing paid work there is either music or old episodes of my favorite tv shows playing in the background. right now, season 4 of Farscape is playing on the big bad wide-screened idiot box 3 meters in front of me. it's the episode "Promised" and Crichton has just reunited ( Read more... ) -

hyper existence
this status update is brought to you from my house's newly installed wifi network. i can now do the laundry, cook dinner, catch up with my friends online and read Spuffy fanfics all while sunning myself outside. talk about hyper-existence. i'm not entirely sure this is an absolute good thing. on the other hand, people who have access to new ( Read more... ) -
love means risking public display of sappiness
creating a facebook page to mark my husband's 50th birthday is probably the corniest thing i've done for him since forever. i've known my husband for close to three decades, and we've been locked, stocked and barreled together for almost 25 years, so i'm pretty sure this gesture is going to alternately and equally horrify and flatter him. but most ( Read more... ) -
buffy to be rebooted
i may despair over what's been done to Buffy in the serialised season 8, but the planned reboot is just loathsome. whoever's cooked up this idea deserves to be locked up in a room with a fungus demon ( Read more... ) -

cylon logic
and just when beta cylon goes gangster on the gangsters, Syfy cancels Caprica and orders “Blood and Chrome,” another Battlestar Galactica prequel/spinoff to be made. It’s cylon logic, yo!
