idealists are the cruelest monsters of them all.

This is, like, a parody. Duh.

Battlestar Galactica
Lee/Dee, Lee/Kara, Kara/Zak blah blah blah
Vague spoilers for 3:01/3.02
Rated C for cracky goodness.



The Great, Tragic Man!Pain of Commander Lee Adama

(  Nobody understood how much Lee suffered. He was so misunderstood. Really. Nobody was as misunderstood as he was. And his pants were too tight. He needed something to soothe his pain, like dessert. Who cared if it was only nine hundred hours? )

1. The October 2006 Frankenstein Mix is up and running. Get on it!

2. Could Bruce/Lana be the new OTP? Huh.


Stargate: Atlantis
Sheppard/McKay
Rated Adult

That's No Way to Tell a Lie


(  John's boots clang against the frame of McKay's bed when he tries to kick them off, but military boots don’t get kicked off. They have to be unlaced, one hook at a time. )

1. Yesterday I posted my BSG/SGA opus And You May Find Yourself Living in a Shotgun Shack, for which slodwick made me art. We love Slod art. Yes, we only smoke the finest crack here. I know you all are jonesing for a hit, don't lie.

2. I have not watched The O.C since the middle of season two, actually it's more like since the start of season two. I don't actually know what season is coming up, so suffice to say that when Josh killed off You Know Who I didn't even know about it until two weeks later. I rejoiced briefly though, and then thought nothing further of it, but then I heard that Telegraph Avenue might become canon and I said JAMIE! And then I saw these spoilery photos and said, huh. Total dirty pool. All right. I'll watch the opener. We'll see.

3. BSG premieres tonight. I am pleased -- if only so they'll stop running the goddamn teaser all over every fucking channel known to man. I am oversaturated. They say in marketing that every audience has to be primed and every product has a window. The first time you have to make them see it, the second time they hear it, the third time you have to sell it, because by then they understand it.

BSG has been so oversold to me that at this point I'm about to revolt.

Or I would be if the marathon wasn't on Sci-Fi and my ovaries were twigging for Helo.

ETA: Regarding last night's Grey's Anatomy: a) Alex is my new George. b) McSteamy is so hot I smacked myself in the head. Twice. c) they played Joe Purdy

The show may give me fits but McSteamy and Joe = yaye.

Does anybody have Peter Gabriel's 'Digging in the Dirt?'

I have just started reading naominovik's book, His Majesty's Dragon, and it's page, err, 24 and I'm already in love with Temeraire. How is the name pronounced then? Tem-er-air?

Thank the Lords of Kobol that this is good, the last book I had to slog through was so bad I threw it in the trash afterwards. Sometimes I do that when a book is so horrible I can't face knowing it's out in the world infecting other people.

Hooray for dragons indeed!

---

Who else is excited for Friday Night Lights? I know I can't be the only one.

Today is not a good day. I must make it so.

First, by taking glee in this Grey's Anatomy casting spoiler.

And second, as created by devkel, the first 20 (sorry that was supposed to be 20, not 2) people to comment with a pairing or character and a prompt will get a one line story*. Since we all know of my inability to write anything less than ten words, it should at least be good for crack value.

The following fandoms are available: the 4400, Smallville, Harry Potter, Entourage, President Clooney-verse, SGA, Grey's Anatomy, Kitchen Confidential, BSG, Spider-Man 2, Ocean's 11, and whatever else you've seen me write before.

*One line, two lines, two paragraphs. You know it's all relative.

ETA: Okay, offer expired.

Does anybody have either Ray LaMontagne's 'Three More Days' or Roxette's 'Knockin' On Every Door'? I know. Way to be on opposite ends of the scale.

Today is turning out to be a profoundly shitastic day. Wow.

I dreamt this up at 6:40 this morning when I was supposed to be running. It was prolly better when I was in bed. This is based on a set of fandom Post Secrets I did earlier in the year.

Harry Potter
Narcissa. Lucius. Draco. Gen.
PG (disturbing themes)


And He Who is Last Shall Be First

(  Despite Draco's extremely red and wrinkled state, and the absence of even one hair upon his head, his first cry cracked the mirror in Narcissa's bed chamber. This was power, there was no mistake, and even Lucius could not find fault with this son. Not this time. )

1. Okay, y'all are really slipping on me here. I still need Johnny Cash 'I've Been Everywhere' and now also Talking Heads 'Once in a Lifetime' – and it's not like you won't get a return on your investment! epj and greenapricot win all the cookies!

2. This link I gacked from svmadelyn is proof that if Billy had been allowed to be his adorable dorky self, but in JEANS, Dee never would've left him for Captain Hotass. Okay, maybe that's a lie, but at least she would've thought twice!

3. Is anybody else loving these GEICO adverts? Seriously.

4. I'm so excited for Nip/Tuck tonight I could spit. <-- is that how that saying goes?

5. Group of Guys is Entourage, but without the glitz and glam and the pretty, but with perhaps the best soundtrack EVER. Duckbilled Platapus! Deep fried poptarts! Smallville cameos!! This is so the real entertainment industry.

Oh, defamer_atom how are you so awesome?

ETA #6: buggery made a manip of Uhura as Spock, and like musesfool said in her post, How fucking cool is that? Can you imagine how different media fandom -- hell, how different television -- would be if Spock had been a black woman? It's kind of mindblowing, innit?

Yes, very mindblowing indeed.


And! And! And! zoetrope made a most fantabulously adorable and hysterical SGA vid called Absolutely Cuckoo! Go! Watch it now, dammit! Tell her how brilliant she is!


Sekrit aside to oxoniensis: It has a name. Now I'm ready to work.

Fun stuff in a bit, but first this. I got home after a gig last night and realized I hadn't done a charity posting this year, and because this is important to me, I had to do this this morning.

I know solicitation on LJ is a dodgy thing, but this is charity, and I would never ask you to give if I weren't already giving away each month, too. I'm not asking you to give a lot, not more than you'd spend on a packet of smokes or two beers at the bar. If you want to give more, that's fabulous, but $10 can do plenty. $20 is just fantastic. Even if you've only got $5 to spare, that could make all the difference in someone else's life. Wouldn't you want someone to do the same for you?

Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation -- I don't have a long speech to go with this foundation. There are loads of other AIDS foundations that are worth your time and money too, I've just chosen this one, because these are kids. Little kids with their whole lives ahead of them.

Habitat For Humanity -- From New Orleans to Thailand, everyone needs a home. It doesn't have to be big, it doesn't have to have DSL and Sky, it just has to have a roof. It just needs walls to support the roof. Help someone else put one over their heads.

Book Relief -- You would think that finding a literacy charity or a book donation partner would be an easy job, you would be wrong. Everyone has a site, but nobody has a charity. Or it's just for adults, or you can only send X type of censored books, or it's just so the UN can promote literacy day (8 September), and yet I only found this foundation after much hunting. I don't think I need to tell a bunch of readers and writers the importance of books and literacy, otherwise you wouldn't be able to read this.

Save Darfur -- I feel like I could go on about the Save Darfur campaign for years, but I reckon it's just better if you see for yourself. I know this charity was up last year, but things aren't better. They're still too slow. Just a little donatation could make things better for a lot of people, even if you don't donate, at least fill out a postcard to send to someone and tell them that this time we won't let things be swept under the rug.

Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation -- I could've just as easily put up the American Cancer Society or the Cancer Research UK, but I wanted to make the cancer charity more of a personal thing. I wanted it to appeal to everyone, because face it, most of the people reading this are women, and the likelihood of someone you know getting breast cancer, well, it's not small. So if you can, donate. Every little bit goes a little further for a cure. Or you know, donate to prostate cancer, which will affect 1 in 6 men, because we are totally not sexist around these parts. Really.


And even if you don't have any money, or you're like, hackthis, today really isn't the day for this, you can still donate by going to the following sites and clicking on the tab. Just two clicks. IT'S FREE. It'll take you longer than that to scroll past this entry. The Literacy Site -- The Breast Cancer Site -- The Hunger Site -- The Child Health Site or The Rainforest Site


Thanks, guys. ♥

[Poll #825866]


Also: Does anybody know if there's a comm for House music? No not house music, but music that's been on House the TV show. They have quite good music. Why will nobody write me Chase/Foreman? [sulk]

ETA::What the fuck is wrong with comment notification?! Rage! Rage! Rage! Where is Nifra to smash things when I need her? El Jay is working said issue of 'Replies to entries with polls won't generate comment notification emails.'

I had to delete my last post, because even looking at it was stressing me out and depressing me. (Thanks to everyone who commented though) I try to make this a happy place, it doesn’t always work, but it’s the end of the week, so I’m really trying. Instead, I posit this question to you, oh brilliant reading list -- if Justin Timberlake is bringing Sexy back*, then dude, where the hell did Sexy go in the first place?

Was it on a sabbatical?

On holiday?

On strike?

Did Sexy call in the union and say it wanted better hours and more time with the family? Did it have Ari representing it and they were holding out for more points on the backend?

And how, exactly, did Mr Timberlake get Sexy to come back with him? With bribery? A blow job? Promises of George Clooney's phone number and the cover of Us Weekly? How did they get back? Train? Car? Apparation? John Travolta's jet plane? You know Sexy has to travel first class all the way.

Discuss.


Personally, I tend to agree with Prince, who was so offended by such a statement he said, “[Timberlake] doesn’t know what he’s talking about -- sexy never left." Maybe we're in Sexy denial. Uh huh. Yup.


ETA: What the man at The Guardian said. Thanks to parthenia14
