I Holidailied
Lessons
Yes, I seem to be on a kick of using Buffy episode titles and quotes to title my journal entries. Not sure where that came from, or whether it'll last, but why not, right? -
It's that time again...
Holidailies has begun!
(Well, okay, it started yesterday, but I only just got to it today. End of semester madness a few magnitudes above normal.)
My first entry is here, more a placeholder than anything else, but it's a start...
For those of you following my most recent saga, more soon. Watch this space. -
Holidailies, in progress
I haven't mentioned it here, even though I've been meaning to, but once again this year I'm participating in Holidailies, the windmill I tilt at annually. I've already missed two days this month... but on the other hand, I've already bested my posting quotas from 2009 and 2011, so that's something. You can find my entries over here, if you're dying ( Read more... ) -
Here vs. There: A placeholder for Far Away Places
Crazy week, so unable to get to any analysis of Mad Men, alas.
All I have time to say here, at the moment, is this: the keyword is boundaries. To identify what something is, we also have to know what it is not; if there's a there there, it means it's someplace other than here, which is... where, exactly ( Read more... ) -
Signal 30: Risk, Desire, and the unintended consequences of rewatching BtVS alongside Mad Men
Still not a full-on, old-school episode write-up (but, uh, closer than I intended when I first set out to do this). The semester's not over yet, for one thing. But I can't resist the siren song of this show any longer, so I do what I can. It might end badly, but for now I'm following the call. I just can't help mixing in some Buffyverse as well.

Mystery Date addendum
Another thing I'd write about: I'd write about voyeurism, wanting to watch even when we know it betrays the shameful thrill we get at the thought of something horrible. We want to bear witness, hallelujah, send your journalists to the front lines in Chicago and your soldiers to Vietnam, and keep them there as long as they can continue to send ( Read more... ) -
Mad Men is pinging my fanometer
Mad Men is making me miss my fandom days of geektastic episode analysis. If I were writing one of my old-style essays on this week's "Mystery Date," I'd start with wondering what it means to be a man. There's a different one behind every door, just waiting for you... and these days (in 1966), some of them might even be women. Turns out they can be ( Read more... ) -
::blows dust off of LJ::
Wow, it's been a while since I posted, huh? Man, reading that last entry was weird. It feels like so long ago.
( An update on the Schrödinger situation, in case anyone wants to know ) -
Decimal highlights
It's been an intense year for me. So even though I've been a crappy Holidailies-ist, I figured I might as well write down some of the main things that happened.
Happy New Year!
