Mar. 14th, 2006 12:56 pmDear iTunes,
If you tell me the new Zero 7 single is available to buy, and then inform me that I can only buy it through the UK iTunes, and then do not permit me to buy it because I do not have a UK IP, nor am I currently on UK soil, this is going to piss me off.
Way to lose a sale, fucktards.
No love,
Me
p.s. Don't even get me started on the whole, Acoustic Kubb for sale, but not for me thing, bitches.
p.p.s In conclusion: Suck my proverbial cock
Someone wanted me to write George/Ari and -- I don't think I can. They don't have that sort of relationship. They're clearly crazy about each other to the point of violence, but like sex? I can't see it. Really. Despite Ari's preoccupation with George's dick and Matt Damon, yeah, he's pretty straight. George did kiss Ari once just to see what would happen, and Ari was so shocked he lost the ability to talk for a whole hour.
I'd reserved this space to write a recommendation of
synecdochic's Freedom's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose, but upon further thought I realise that that's just not going to do it justice. If you were going to read it as a SGA fan then by now you've already ready it, because it's been more recommended than Viagra. If you weren't going to read it because you're not an SGA fan then nothing I can say will change your mind.
However, I will repeat what I said to
serialkarma after I finished my initial reading and that's this,"...it's just so beautiful and so true, I'm kind of shocked, and it makes my heart hurt. I've always wanted to write something that hit people so deeply, and I know it won't happen, but this is just gorgeous and I just, you know, wow. AHHHH! Feeling things really deeply always tends to leave me feeling like I just had layer of skin scraped off."
You should know that, originally, I wasn't going to read it either. I mean it's everywhere, nothing could possibly warrant that much attention. I wasn't crazy about the central character, and although I think the fandom writers are stupendously talented, I don't really like the programme either. In short, I had every frakking reason to pass it by, but I'm so thankful that I caved.
So, you know, if you've been waffling, give it a try. If you're just looking for something stunning and real to read, then try it for that reason too. It's not a fan story or a fandom story, it's not some pretentious philosophical idea wrapped up in sheep's clothing, it's just a story about life and getting through it.
IMO, that's what makes it so beautiful.
