Happy birthday, Hal!
For prillalar's birthday, I was going to give her a robot army. Then the union went on strike and the robots rebelled, and I had to dismantle them all to prevent global catastrophe. I also thought about getting her a big stuffed Momoshiro, but when it came in the mail I decided to keep it, even though it talks a lot and occasionally steals my socks ( Read more... ) -
more inauguration stuff
I meant to link to this when I first read it, then had to go dig it back up from the WaPo archives. Anyway, a pretty cool article from back in December on the speechwriter for Obama's inaugural address:

Hello, Mr. President
I don't know what to do now that I can no longer be cynical and angry about U.S. politics and government. It's like a huge part of my identity for the past eight years is gone. Or like looking outside on Christmas, realizing hey, they really did get me that pony! -
cultural appropriation debate
I have a lot of frustration with the current discussion on the representation of PoC in fantasy/sf and cultural appropriation--I don't think that the argument that fantasy as it's published and marketed in the U.S. and Britain is a product of a culturally specific northern European mythology that usually demonizes or exoticizes PoC and non-northern ( Read more... ) -

spn_j2_xmas
I included Jensen/Danneel in my list of prompts for spn_j2_xmas because it's my secret love, but I never thought I'd get it. But I did! chash wrote this spectacularly fun and awesome Jensen/Danneel for me, wherein Jensen has a crush and Danneel is fabulous, and everyone kind of wants to kick Chad's ass: Tell Her She Can Look Me Up If She's Got the Time.
LOVE. ♥♥ -
some thoughts on Leverage
I've finally beaten my spn_j2_xmas story into submission, which isn't to say it's done or anything, just that I'm not opening up the file with paralyzing fear anymore. I'm never going this long without writing again ( Read more... ) -
who said work time was for working
TV roundup: What I'm watching but (so far) haven't been talking about:
Merlin. Oh Merlin, how are you SO AWESOME. I mainlined it over the weekend, which is still the best way of watching a show. I'm already pimping it to RL friends and family here, since it looks like NBC will be airing it over here once the football season is over.
