Three birds, one stone.

I know a lot of people are suffering to no end because of the inclement weather and for that I am sorry. I know people are probably stranded with cabin fever, maybe even without power (in which case, um, damn, son). But as bad as that is the people of Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation have been without power or water or heat for nearly two weeks. No, that's no typo.

I know people have been emptying their pockets for [livejournal.com profile] help_haiti, which just goes to show the power of fandom, but if anybody's got a few dollars left that that they might want to throw this way for Emergency Assistance (or here via Piryx) to help these people or could even just pass the message on to people that might be able to help that would just be amazing.




It will never cease to baffle me as to why people feel the need to read and comment on stories they clearly don't like. Is your 'back' button broken? Do you really think your rudeness is so invaluable? Why would you say 'I didn't really like this story, I don't think you're a really good writer, but whatever, I read it.' Or better yet, "Everybody said this was good, but I just don't agree." I just... what?

Can someone tell me where manners went to die, becuse I'd like to put flowers on their grave?




In less irritating news, since I missed this when it was going on, I'm doing it today:

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day (by me!) Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the ficinsanity? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.




Oh, and since this is my all-inclusive post, anybody have the new Sade, Corrine Bailey Rae or Massive Attack albums to share? SCORE! Thanks [livejournal.com profile] sugargroupie and [livejournal.com profile] jcase!

Hi, I adore [livejournal.com profile] serialkarma, so any time she endorses me I'm touched. (And I'm flad you're enjoying GK! I love GK)

She is totally fantastic! She's one of the reasons I'm sad to have left New York. Thank goodness for the internet, at least.

I TOTALLY LOVE IT. Since my first viewing at the end of December, I've watched the entire mini two additional times, bought both Evan's and Nate's books, and toyed with the idea of a Man From U.N.C.L.E.-like spy!AU (mostly due to this picture (http://www.superherofan.net/galleries/albums/superherofan-gallery/Celebrities/A/Alexander-Skarsgard/index.html#1), in which Alexander SkarsgĂ„rd look alarmingly like much-taller Illya Kuryakin). The fandom is a blast. ♥

GK makes everything better. Trufax. It once cured me of food poisoning!

Wait, did it actually? Or in an "and it cures cancer!" way? :)

It totally did! I had a bad burrito and I was curled up on the sofa in this fetal position, ready to just die and I turned it on and Ray started babbling and all my cramping went away. It took like an entire episode, but still. Maybe they just made me more relaxed but it sure as hell made me feel better and that's what really counts.
