Ask 3 questions about my fandoms or really anything I've posted about and I reply with some form of answer.
So Joss wrote a
web comic from season 8. *giggle* Even if you're not reading season 8, just go to page three. Then look very carefully at the last panel *snicker*
In other slightly related news. Lynch and Urru are coming back to A:tF, yay!!!
A couple of months ago my World of Warcraft Raid Group kind of imploded due to personality issues and various other pressures. I basically became a hermit after that and only grouped with other players when absolutely necessary. I played solo for a few weeks, but the game got kind of stale for me so I took a break.
But the last few days I've started to get excited about WoW again. Its due partly because I want to complete the Mid-Summer Fire Festival Achievement (don't want to have to wait a whole nother year to get it done) and partly because I'm been reading detailed info about the huge upcoming 3.2 patch. It contains alot of neat stuff and should give me alot to do even if I don't end up doing many raid dungeons.
The things that excite me most at this point are:
--Enginering changes/upgrades--this is the biggest non-expansion patch ever for my long-neglected favorite profession. I look forward to having fun with my gadgets again.
--Paladin class changes--Group healing will be easier/more flexible now that overhealing (including Holy Light splash heals) will count on Beacon of Light Heals. I won't be stuck having to just heal a tank so often. Illumination is getting nerfed but mana regen from items is getting buffed, so it will be interesting to have to worry about running out of mana again.
--A new Battleground and sensible changes to old ones--Isle of Conquest looks very fun and AB/Eye will be shorter now and Warsong will have a 20 minute timer (finally no more endless games!). And flag defenders will get a 50% honor buff for kills, which are all very good changes. Plus you will be able to earn xp from BGs, so it will make leveling more interesting. Also Wintergrasp will be limited to 100 players per side which should result in me facing less tenacity stacks and lag DCs. And Blizz is talking about adding rewards like green and blue items for winning a BG and also implementing so kind of rating system. I look forward t...

--Cut-- Click here for more --Cut-- Am going to stop by the gym tomorrow after work, and get registered. The nice thing is that work has a deal with them, wherein I get a lower price for doing it, and I would have registered anyway. The even nicer thing is that they have one branch close-ish to work, and one branch close-ish to where I live.
I figure that getting into a rhythm now, with work, going to the gym and trying to figure out meal plans and whatnot will be better than waiting to do it - for a day that likely never comes.
I actually miss going to the gym. I didn't do it as much as I'd thought this past semester, because of the foot and the thesis, but I still got a bit more work-outs done than if I hadn't been registered.
And stranger yet, I actually miss running. I've done a couple of tries in my neighbourhood, but I can't find an ideal route that lasts as long as I'd like it to (without going into people's gardens, that is...) and with the heat… I say stranger yet, because if there was one thing I loathed about gym class - ever - it was the running. Turns out, it is different when I'm not meant to get somewhere competing with others, and not being graded for it. <br>
Thankfully the library administration was able to figure out a way give me a full-time position again (which officially begins today) so I should be able to get free tuition at my university if I decide to work on another master's degree. I already have a master's in library science and my undergrad majors were history and French, but literature would interest me the most now or maybe popular culture studies, but I'm pretty sure my university doesn't have that.
So I was thinking about possible subjects for my master's thesis if I do work on literature. I hope to take some creative writing classes for my degree so maybe I could finagle my way into doing a fiction project for my thesis. But all my fiction ideas these days are fanfictional so I don't know how that would play with my adviser. Or I could do a non-fiction piece on some aspect of fanfiction, probably in relation to science fiction. Another idea I've kicked around for awhile is a study of the military and war experiences of SF authors like David Drake, Joe Haldeman, Jerry Pournelle and John Ringo and how it affects their writing. Maybe I could compare them to "mainstream" literature vets like Tim O'Brien. Or perhaps I could do something about how the political views of certain SF authors (Orson Scott Card, Pournelle, Ringo, Larry Niven etc) do or don't affect their fiction.
I probably won't start working on my degree for at least a year (I have to take care of the admissions stuff and probably study for and take the GRE again) but I wanted to write this down so I could come back to it when its time to actually chose a topic. What are your thoughts on this and do you have any stuff you personally would like to do a thesis on or see someone do a thesis about?

Submitted By
li_bean View other answers No way! My cat's knock knock jokes are always lame...
That being said, I've heard that in its most basic form humor is fear that turns into relief. That's why babies think their mommy pretending to drop them is
hilarious. And really, when you think through more sophisticated jokes there's usually an element of surprise there, the punchline being something unexpected, but not scary. Do animals feel that? Hmm, not sure. Though, I don't think they're going to be enjoying an Eddie Izzard show anytime soon.
I posted a new chapter of
Gotham Slayer. It introduces the new ‘Big Bad’ who is very nearly nightmare inducing, if I do say so myself. :) Plus, it sets up a lot more Batman/Buffy, Bruce/Buffy interaction, so hopefully my reviewers will stop threatening to do me bodily harm.
Also, I discovered aphids on my tomatoes today. Which sucks because my garden really was doing so well up 'til now (unlike my lawn.) Anybody have any hints on how to get rid of them?
Fanon usually doesn't bother me, as long as it isn't completely ridiculous, and isn't something that canon already explains. In other words, a fanon name of an unnamed character isn't a big deal. But, for some reason there's odd things that are explained in canon, yet are ignored for fanon explanations. Which is just lazy as hell.
Some things I've noticed (from BTVS):
1. Buffy doesn't get kicked out of the house. The scene actually has her escalating by saying that she can't be there. Yeah, Dawn says that maybe she shouldn't, but it's because Buffy can't follow as opposed to simply kicking her out of the house. And the rest of the gang aren't very enthusiastic about kicking her out either.
2. Xander doesn't leave Anya. He gets an emotional kick to the pants and can't deal. Admittedly, it makes him rethink what he's doing, but as he says in Entropy, he's not saying that they shouldn't be together, but that they shouldn't get married at that time. Which isn't all that unreasonable, because I doubt that anybody that just went through a tremendous emotional trauma would want to get married five minutes later.
He even says in Entropy that his intention is to stay together. Frankly, the real destruction of their relationship is due to Anya's immaturity and inability to show any empathy at all. Of course, blaming it on the woman would detract from the feminist aspect of the show so I guess it's easier to just blame the guy. Even though the demon that started the whole thing did it as vengeance upon Anya's past sins.
It looks like the company that hosts this blog/site is shutting down their hosting service for people using their individual blogging software. (Would have been nice to get e-mail from them about it instead of accidentally finding out 2 weeks after they announced it on their site. And just a month after I renewed for another year.) See:

Verse Title: Iron Guts Kelly
Author:
kaylashay81Ratings: Currently FR13
About: This verse is an AU where Kelly did not die with Shannon in the car. Gibbs raised her on his own. The Kelly in this verse was born in January 1984, making her 17 -almost 18- when Tony joined Gibbs' team in the fall of 2001.
Story ListIron Guts Kelly - FR13; Gen
Summary: There's a first time for everything and Kelly wanted to give Tony DiNozzo one of his.
The Interview - FR13; Gen
Summary:
He figured it was a tossup between her and her dad as to which was the scariest Gibbs. One of the things happening at work this summer is that a computer management company takes over our IT and will be installing new computers. All of which, unfortunately, have Vista as their operating system.
And it turns out that several bits of software won't run on Vista, even in compatibility mode, including some of our data-logging programs and the software for some extremely cheap radiation sensors. The latter, incidentally, runs perfectly under Windows 7, which is why they're not working on a replacement.
So it goes. At least for the next year or so, at which point they will hopefully roll out Windows 7 instead.

I've decided I need a new show to watch. Ideally something that's had at least one full season. Old, recent, currently airing, I don't care. I just want something new to sink my teeth into. I'm looking more toward drama than sitcoms, as I want something I can get well and truly sucked into. But if you have a sitcom that utterly kills you, feel free to recommend that as well. I'd prefer something with on-going plot lines rather than a procedural like CSI.
A smattering of shows I've watched and loved: Doctor Who, Deadwood, The Wire, The Sopranos, Rome, Veronica Mars, The West Wing, Farscape, Everything Whedon, BSG, Dexter, Mad Men

here--Cut-- Click here for more --Cut-- I just got home from watching My Sister’s Keeper. It made me cry just as much as I figured it would! LOL Great movie. I can’t wait to read the book. I’ve heard it’s even better. But that’s usually the case, isn’t it? I can’t think of a sinle time it hasn’t been. I’m sure there must be an instance where the movie outshines the book, but I can’t think of one off hand. Hmm.
My allergies are acting up. I’ve had a mild sinus headache since I woke up this morning. Not awful. Not bad enough to interfere with anything just there. The crying I did actually helped with the stuffiness, believe it or not! Loosened things up or something.
Remember when I said I was gonna make the stirfry chicken with the zucchinis, bell peppers, mushrooms, green onions, rosemary, garlic, lemon pepper and salt? Well, I did and it was spectacular. I’m having some of the left overs for supper tonight. I’m a pretty good cook, if I do say so myself! (and I obviously just did!)
I’ve decided to start seriously getting back into art. I’ve doodled and drawn and painted off and on since I got out of college, but nothing serious. I’ve decided to change that. I’m going to really focus on it. Dedicate a few hours of every day to it. Try to produce at least one really good (or at least relatively unsucky) piece a week. I think I’m even going to try to sell the decent ones instead of just chucking em in a corner or losing em or tossing em by accident in an infrequent apartment clean up or giving em away to family members.
You know how some folks think the world is gonna end in 2012? Cause of the Mayan Calendar and other such things? Well, I think, if it is, then they way it’s going to end is going to be Yellowstone National Park. It’s this big ol crazy super volcano, you know. And it’s already like 30,000 or more years overdue (supposedly it has had a relatively regular 600,000 year cycle of cataclysmic eruptions but the last one was...
I'm probably the last to know as usual, but the BBC have finally posted the transmission date for Children of Earth. It starts on Monday July 6th at 9pm on BBC one. So, one week's notice. Nice one Aunty Beeb.
...was good fun despite a relatively small turnout, which wasn't surprising given that it's the first time it's run and that all routes to Swindon were badly messed up today (thanks Railtrack etc.) which can't have helped.
Ran two sessions, the second unfortunately had only two players which isn't ideal for an adventure which is essentially several people versus a small army. I think I gave the players too much help, and had NPCs do too much of the heavy lifting.
Trip there was fast and problem free given the distance (about 80 miles), trip back was dreadful thanks to speed restrictions of 30 at various points, and traffic almost at a standstill for large chunks of the middle 30 miles. No idea why, there seemed no obvious reason for it.
Anyway, I think I'll go again - but hope that next time the trains are running more normally!
The big London Dragonmeet is still on 28th november at Kensington Town Hall. There's also talk of a Dragonmeet Derby at some point (forget the date), but that's probably a little too far for me for a one-day event.

Here's the thing. I'm a pack rat by nature. I compulsively hoard things. They're pretty and shiny and I like them. I'm getting better about dusting every now and then with comments.
But still, no sense in keeping journals that hide from me. I can do that much without flailing.
So, the defriending commenced. I only got rid of people that have never set eyes on this journal (they don't have me friended back). Among those non-mutuals are folks that haven't seen LJ in the last 2 to 4 years, folks I don't share interests with anymore, and a few that defriended me.
One of these days I'll get rid of old communities too.

Probably. Okay, just in case you don't know (though honestly I don't see how you could miss it) Michael Jackson died on 6/26/09. And, yes, it is a terrible thing, but why does the world (or at least the news) stop for this one man?
Yes, I like practically everyone else had a MJ phase, though I was in grade school when I had mine, and I had long since lost interest in MJ by the time things went really wonky for him (trying to become white, hanging a child out the window, potentially molesting children - shit like that which pretty much defined his later career). Okay, so I've liked other songs from him over the years, but Thriller was the only album from him I bought (and I think I liked the song "Eat It" slightly better than "Beat It," if you don't know "Eat It" you are probably young, though I suppose there are some old timers who might not know it either, but Friday I decided to play "Thriller" in honor of MJ, and when "Beat It" came on I found myself singing "Eat It" instead), though way back in grade school I seem to recall having a purse with his "Thriller" picture on it.
*hangs in head in shame*
Thursday night I was so mad I was practically spitting nails, which is why I delayed this entry, because I am saddened by his death, but if I'd made this entry that night you might never have known that.
Anyway, I turned over to MSNBC wanting to hear about Thursdays news. Remember Iran? You know, the country that just had an election that was causing some serious protesting of its own people - said people who were being killed/arrested for protesting said elections. I wanted to know what was happening over there. What about the pervy American Governor? Though since you've probably asked yourself which one... Well, I can see why that might not be more newsworthy than the death of Michael Jackson. Still it was annoying that everything apparently paled in utter comparison to the death of Michael Jackson.

„I'm telling you, we should salt'nburn it.“
„Dean. It's a doll.“
„Yeah, a possessed one!“
„Dude!“ Sam rolled his eyes with an exasperated huff. „It's just a doll. With
batteries!“
„We should saltn'burn it anyway. There's nothing wrong with salting and burning.“ He frowned, then smirked. „You're doing the same thing to your steaks, remember? With mine too, now that we're at it.“
Sam wisely chose to ignore his brother's comment. „We should just give the doll back to that kid you fucking stole it from and tell her to complain about it at Toys'R'us. I'm serious.“
The doll in front of them was starting to giggle madly in a strangely tinny voice and Dean wondered, not for the first time, how kids were not ending up in long-term therapeutic care after having to listen to it.
„Honestly, Sam. Listen to this! That's not normal.“ The doll started swinging on its rocking chair and Sam grunted, throwing the doll an irritated look. The swinging and laughing stopped abruptly and the doll sat quiet again, seemingly innocent.
Sam's brow furrowed and he made an appalled face. “Yo...
I'm alive...I just haven't been on a computer (and thus the Internet) in...a little under 3 weeks. Yipes.
Nothing terribly exciting has happened. I got a new game (Kingdom Hearts, so it's not a *new* game), I'm slowly making my way through 4 seasons of House (I'm in the middle of the 3rd season; yay sisters and graduation presents), I've finally watched the first Transformers movie, will presumably be seeing the second Transformers movie Sunday, and I'm still on (okay, technically I'm *beginning*) the hunt for a job. My room still hasn't been unpacked, but I'm in the process of clearing off my desk so I can at least have my laptop going (though I still won't have Internet on the laptop). I did not realize how many freaking credit card offers I got over the past 4 years until I started shredding all that stupid mail. Anyone need fake credit cards?
The city of Tumwater/Olympia really needs to get its act together. They've been doing construction on Littlerock Road for almost....3 years? And they *still* haven't finished whatever sort of replacement-water-pipe thing they started all those years back, and it's made driving that road bumpy as hell.
And they started a whole different project nearby, tearing up an intersection to put in a roundabout (*shuuder* oh gods, why does Lacey/Tumwater/Olympia have such a freaking fetish for roundabouts?!?!?!?). It's about 3 weeks into summer, the local public schools have shut down for summer...and absolutely no one is working on the roundabout. Soo...us locals have two narrow lanes for about a quarter of a mile to go both ways, while the other side of the road is a blocked-off gravel path that could have been used as a road if they city learned how to finish its stupid projects. Bah. Stupidity.

I went to class today for the first time in over three weeks with the intention of participating. The ankle held up pretty well. The only time it gave me issues was during the katas. Most especially when having to turn on the left heel. It REALLY didn't like that. So, I converted the move into a kind of funny foot shuffling turn instead. At the end of class it was a little more sore than it has been but not horribly so. I went home and elevated it with some ice for an hour and took some ibuprofen and it helped clear that mostly up.
Then, I went to Kroger where they're having their 4 day sale. Stocked up on almost an entire month's worth of groceries for only $88.00.
For supper tonight, I'm planning on making some chicken stir fry (chicken, green onions, red and green bell pepper, mushrooms, zucchini, rosemary, garlic, lemon pepper and salt) along with sliced potato and corn on the cob. That'll be good for about four nights worth of suppers. Gotta love leftovers!

--Cut-- Click here for more --Cut--So I'm pretty sure that the people I work with thought I was crazy today.
I was actually in a good mood...which kinda led to me bouncing all around the restaurant singing to myself.
Out loud though.
In my defense it was a slow food day and I did nothing but clean really.
I felt a little like Cinderella and those mice :)
Despite the fact that I thought the song was offensive on first listen though it's all I can sing too lately.
So there I was for 6 hours straight singing and bouncing my leg to "Don' t trust a hoe...never trust a hoe" and so on.
And hours later I'm still singing it...lol.
Of course that could be the sugar high to blame also.
My sister and my brother want to convince me that it sucks. My sister, who I'm beginning to think loves Transformers more than me but is afraid to admit it, is disappointed because she went to see Ironhide and Ratchet and they weren't on screen enough time. My brother hated all the 'balls' jokes/judy on pot/dogs humping/Wheelie humping/etc. because he went to see the Autobots and he didn't get to see them (except at the beginning). He did fall in love with Sideswipe, though that only makes him bitch more since he didn't like the twins and keeps asking why Sam had to be stuck with them and not the Arcees, Ironhide or Sideswipe.
Frankly, I liked it. Sure, it could've been lots better, but it also could've been lots worse. After all, all I was expecting from it were explosions, days only having afternoons/sunsets/nights, pretty visuals, lots of explosions and shaky cameras=lots of action mentality. I got all that plus two awesome robot fights. I did get the idea that someone went through the

Now, for the things I liked and didn't like:
I liked:
1. Soundwave! - he is awesome, even if he only floated in space tentacle raping a satellite =P
2. Ravage - the best robot in the whole movie.

6. The robot fights: Optimus VS Decepticons and Bumblebee VS Rampage and Ravage
7. Optimus Prime - finally a universe in which he not only has the stones, but he's willing to use them too.
8. Starscream getting be...
