So I get up this morning, all ready for mom and dad's visit. I head downstairs to throw out the wine bottles from the night before and.... notice a LOT of water dribbling from my porch down onto the apartment below. Seems the water heater thingy is leaking. GRRR |

Mom and Dad are visiting tomorrow thru thursday so I won't be around as much. Yes this will hold up GN. On the plus side, I will get homemade banana bread and mom and the Wii will bond while calling me fat. |

| Wii Update! |
[Jul. 31st, 2008|05:06 pm] |
The Wii says "Tubbo! Run faster! Yer not burning calories, you're just vomiting!"
The ski slalom is now longer! And more scary!
BUT....I can now avoid tossed gym cleats in the soccer ball heading!
And.... I have gone from 297 to 282 since I became its master....
Eep... the Wii is hissing again :( |

Because every few months we have one of these broo-ha-has over *something* like this and maybe I am just a clueless n00b or something but....
How do people expect to make money off fandom? I see this accusation getting thrown around, and honestly I am not interested in the actual *morality* of making money off fandom - I am actually, but thats an entirely different topic - I just don't understand how people think there's money to be made off of websites loaded with fanfic(Fanlib, Fanhistory etc etc) I mean.... it honestly feels like the South Park gnome sketch.
1. Make a giant ass website of fanfic and fan crap.
2. Get people riled!
3. ????
4. Profit!
Which ok, might just be my ignorance. So does anyone know? Where is the profit here? |

What I find interesting is that..... I honestly question a) whether everything IS wrapped up and b) Do the fans really *want* every loose thread tied up?
Oh a lot of us say we do.... But am I the only one who likes a little mystery being left? Granted I am the one who hates the podcasts from Ron Moore because show speculation turns into "Ron said in the pod cast that he meant x, y, and z so even though it looks like 1,2,3, its x, y, and z" - but I also noticed that oohing and ahing over the podcasts really died down after a while so maybe people do like a little mystery.
However, this does confirm my opinion that the first half of season four was basically padding. Boys and girls, there's no shame in not having enough story for 20 episodes. |

Things I didn't remember about The Tomorrow People
1. Mike really looked like a girl.
2. The Russians were Bad! And they put explosive chips in the heads of telepaths. (And wow... the Russian chick jumping out the window and *exploding* was hardly what I consider "made for children")
3. Hitler was apparently a shape changing alien. Mind you, I can see how that works.... |
|
|
| Ah.... |

I recall why I like "The Tomorrow People"
"How can one man rule unless others obey? How can one be free unless others are enslaved?" -Evil Psycho.
"How can any man be free while others wear chains? How can one rule wisely without first learning to obey? How can any man enjoy greatness while others are kept from fulfillment?" Elizabeth, Tomorrow Person.
Oh Elizabeth, I never even knew black people could have English accents, let alone teach me decency. And yet rewatching you reminds me of how much the tv really influenced me. And how high minded Nickleodeon *used* to be. |

| On Succulent Buttocks and Crossing the Line |
[Jul. 3rd, 2008|03:43 pm] |
Really I would love some opinions from the F-list on this, since I accept that sometimes one can get too wrapped up in an arguement.
I watch watch Little People Big World. Its a reality show for those not familar. On a message board, someone (not me) made a comment about one of the kids having a "succulent butt". Now the kid in question just recently turned 18, but the poster was clearly referencing a scene in the show where the kid was just turned 17 and was wearing wet shorts on a beach.
Now, the kid ain't my cup of tea but not unattractive. I just found it.... amazing that adults in this rather paranoid day and age feel comfortable talking about how hot a kid's ass is, how nicely he fills his pants, his package, and how pervy it makes them feel and how they can't wait until he's 18 and its not icky to talk this way.
I think it crosses the line on a couple of levels. First, we are talking about people I am quite positive are adults discussing how sexy a teenager is. Second, we're talking about a kid that isn't an actor, on a fairly benign reality show, so it IS a real kid. Third, quite frankly, although I don't particularly like the kid, I don't dislike him either, and his parents pretty much have a map to their home on their website. It's not like someone couldn't *act* on their pervy thoughts.
Some people on the board are all "but he's almost eighteen and he's not going to be different when he's eighteem" (and he's not) but I can't help but think that there's an ick factor here.
I know for example, that people would be icked if I really got all "Oh Jamie Bamber and Alessandro Juliani have really succulent asses" - and these guys are married. Am I just crazy? |

While it doesn't bother me in the "I hate Cally" sense....
Everyone understands that Tory gets a free pass from Admiral Bill for hiding as a Cylon, killing Cally, and then running off to be with her Cylon pals at first?
I mean... all four have amnesty. Think about it. |

I have established a new journal for my upcoming origanal content fic tentatively titled "Enter the Zone" - a tale of the Explorer Corps!*
explorer_corps
Right now it's just musing on the world building aspects but eventually there will be story. If you're interested, go have a look. There will be another announcement when there's actual story up.
"XCORPS LEADS THE WAY!"
*this in no way negatively affects Going Native or the completion of said Going Native. |

Every once in a while I like to post this link.
http://www.asexuality.org/home/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
Yes, people always are quick to point fingers at hormones and Aspergers.....
But I wish someone had been willing to say, when I was 14-21 that 1% of the population felt the same way I did - that getting fucked was not some incredible rush. I went to doctors, I experimented.... You know what? There's nothing wrong with me.
If you feel the same way, there's nothing wrong with you.
I'm asexual. We're here, we're doing stuff other than fucking. We're 1% of the population.
We're ineffable.
I'm happy to talk. I wish someone had been happy to talk to me. |

| Wii Fit Day 7 |
[Jun. 13th, 2008|04:56 pm] |
The Wii told me to watch my snacking :/
Then it gave me a stamp!
Then it yelled "Fatty Fatty!" |
|
|
| Wii Fit Day 6 |
[Jun. 12th, 2008|05:32 pm] |
Even though the Wii said I could have the day off, it yelled at me for skipping!
"Where were you, fatty? Eating pie???"
So I had to run :(
But since I lost .4 pounds, I was allowed to box and sublimate my rage on others! DIE PIGS!
The the Wii said it wants a chapter :( |
|
|
| Wii Fit Day 4 |
[Jun. 10th, 2008|05:10 pm] |
The Wii laughed because I fell out of the island run :(
Then it allowed that all the pounds were putting a lot of pressure on my weak knees. So to celebrate that my Wii Age is now the same as my real age, tomorrow will be a Wii sports day of bowling and boxing! Hurrah!
Then it hissed at me |
