- Those crazy fans by sistermagpie; on fandom and characters and identification

Amusing
- A warning to my Yankee Friends. (TOO FUNNY, MUST READ)
- On eating Pikachu...
- On playing with lightsabers...
- On wieners by phonemonkey:

"What I love about wiener dogs is their air of sad dignity. Like an early Christian martyr with very short legs."

- On Batman by neadods:

"'I have issues. Lots of issues.'

Bruce, dear, you have several subscriptions in bound back volumes, lovingly polished once a week is what you've got."

Note-Worthy
- Toblerone Dark Chocolate Honey-almond Fondue; w00t!
- Texas Music Educators Association Will Not Let Male Student Audition as a Soprano - a bit old but still.

Fic Recs

(Saiyuki, 58) Very nice warm fuzzies. =)
Hushed by sherrymarie

(Saiyuki, 58 and 53, and 38?) Very poetic and lyrical and like watching skin rot underneath scabs.
And Sugar, We’re Going Down Swinging by hydr0phobia

(RPS, Viggo M./Brad P.) In which you hilariously see through Brad's eyes huge bits of Viggo's ::cough:: eccentricities.
In Which Viggo Imparts Ancient Wisdom and Brad Eats Big Macs by lalejandra

(Firefly) ::cough:: um. yeah. ::gigglefit::
Jayne Woke Up FAIRY by maryavatar

Thought Provoking
One more response to the Robin Hobb debate by crumblingwalls; from the pro-writer's negative response to fanfiction

metaphors for writing, again by truepenny; to which I extrapolate, vidding = blind-folded run-away-train-ride.

What makes Harry Potter the Perfect Storm of Fandom? by fabularasa; neat thoughts with reference to bards and storytelling.

Of 9/11 imagery and other such users of tragedy in art by cofax7; when does human devastation become pornographic?


Note Worthy
Face Analyzer - SO FREAKING COOL. It basically tagged mine and my roommates' racial profiles and pretty darn near the personality profiles too; it's interesting to notice that all the stars and most celebrities have very, very 'average' faces. Which makes a sort of sense, come to think of it. [edit] BEFORE YOU USE, you should notice this excerpt from their TOS, which mentions providing the information they might gather to 'third-parties'.

Fleshlight. o.0 huh, interesting adult toy. (NOT WORKSAFE.) (::blinks:: also, 'Mr. Limpy'? o.0;;; oh my flist...)

OMG FRUIT MOON.

Fruit Moon: The bountiful, bright and vivacious prelude to the Harvest. A horde of wet, ripe fruits: green apple, apricot, blackberry, black cherry, black and red currants, cantaloupe, English pear, guava, lemon and lime, orange, mandarin orange, kiwi and mango, passion fruit, papaya, Georgia peach, raspberry, plum, tangerine, pomegranate and strawberry over a luminous blend of lunar oils.

...dangit. ::sits on hands:: 'cause it's either sailing or perfume.

Sailing won. But maaaaaaan.

[Surprised that I'm getting Freak Show?? Thought not. ;D]
