bironicThere was fic again today! Actually, there was fic on Friday, but today I outed myself as the author who was trying to invert the ideas of kinky and non-kinky sex. And I maybe should stop posting fic from work, because while it might be cool to do it from my phone, (a) it's also a pain in the neck and (b) no one seems to read my fic in the middle of a weekday anyway.
In other news, I'm back from a long weekend seeing my soon-to-be-married friend in steamy Georgia, where I visited Stone Mountain with family, watched a bucketload of TV, had a piece of chocolate cake after![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
penknife inadvertently made me want one for three days, bought a dress, played with a guinea pig in a pet store, and ate dinner with friends at a restaurant in a strip mall that got struck by lightning and lost power just as we were paying the bill.
On the TV front, I have now seen a few episodes of Eureka and Pawn Stars, as well as a second episode of Warehouse 13 -- the first being the one with Joe Flanigan -- which, as luck would have it, featured Kaylee and Simon running a diner. Yes, I know the actors' names, but I prefer to think of it as a Firefly AU.
We also watched District 9 (nice format, a satisfying number of wetly exploding bodies, a "hero" I never liked, and, oh, the irony of a movie about racism that was itself racist), Idiocracy (surprisingly funny, and terrifyingly plausible) and The Book of Eli (far more style than solid plot, and a confusing premise about Christianity saving the world after having destroyed it, but again, I enjoyed the Harry Potter AU where Dumbledore and Mme Maxime ran a kooky desert shack while Sirius Black ruled the Wild West with an iron fist; and Denzel Washington looks freaking gorgeous with a shaved head).
Also!roga is Stateside and from the sound of things I will see her for approximately 5 minutes when she gets into town, but that's okay because we will both then be attending Vividcon. I am so glad she is coming, and that kassrachel will be there, because I met both of them for the first time on my trip to Israel two years ago. Glad because I like them and glad to have them to hang out with because, silly though it may be, I am nervous about meeting certain people at the con. It's like junior high all over again, if junior high had had kink fic and fanvids and f-listers whom I want to like me in person.
Plus I found out today I'll be able to see my college friend R. that week for like two hours between the wedding and the con, which isn't much but since we live on different continents I am still happy.
Except for having to do the dishes now. That is less happy.

Date: Jul. 20th, 2010 01:43 am (UTC)Yay for seeing R, even if it is for 2 hours. What weekend if vividcon? I was just thinking about it earlier today.
One of the things I liked about district 9 is how you're not supposed to like the hero all that well. Agreed on idiocracy.
I like eureka myself, but not well enough to remember when it's on/look for it. I have, however, been watching season one of 'dead like me' on netflix, which is pretty entertaining in a dry-humor kind of way, as long as you can take the rather blunt 'lessons'. also potential het fic between two characters (well, clearly potential for all kinds of fic, but one pairing that appeals to me personally).
boo for your dishes and me having to go to work tomorrow.

Date: Jul. 21st, 2010 09:25 pm (UTC)Vividcon is the second weekend in Aug, 6-8. And R arranged his flights so we can see each other all Tue evening, which will be great. It's been since just before you visited me at MIT.
My sister and Netflix both tell me i'll like Dead Like Me, but your warning has me ... warned. guess we'll see, eventually.
