Damn, God was just striking down THAT adulterous couple.

Bride and Best Man? You just don't do that, dude! And muscle spasm? Oh my god, that's horrible. But really funny, too.

[ninepointfivemm.livejournal.com]

Oh, and the Mastercard commercial. *dies*

[permetaform]

[kokkoryuha.livejournal.com]

w00t for links! That Count D cosplay was incredible! Thanx for sharing!

[permetaform]

wasn't it?? I was astonished both at how good it was, and at the quality of the pictures. Hard. Core.

"A Study in Emerald" is brilliant, isn't it? A college friend of mine who's both a Lovecraft and a Holmes fan pointed me at it earlier this year.

All the cool people write fanfic ^_^.

That PoH cosplay was almost terrifying, it was so good! And the mastercard commercial gave me happy giggles. Many thanks, oh master pimp! *grins*

[permetaform]

::grins and bows:: np!

Actually, I'm pretty sure that's a real mastercard commercial. The first time I saw it was on tv when I was a teenager. After 10:00pm, of course.

And I'm working! I did revisions through 7 of the 16 pts. on the beta e-mail you sent. Now I'm taking a break to check flist, then back to work. Should get through all of them by the time you come over.

As per lin's suggestions, still trying to figure out how to transition from ::dead:: to ending helicopters.

::looks over comment::

Yes, I think that's cryptic enough to post.

;-)

Cool.

I've never had much luck sourcing out good original slash. And now (no) thanks to you, I shall never sleep again. ^^;;

*wanders off to begin serious marathon reading*

The cookie thing is nothing. We made a bong out of a Darth Vader slush cup last month.

"I give you...BONG VADER."

::dies:: that. ohhh.. Vader as a hash pipe. Somehow it allll makes sense now.

Mmm great Saiyuki fics. ^_^

I was particularly fascinated by the Colours and String Theory articles too. Of course I'm always interested in anything that talks about alternate universes, even if most scientists are still saying that they don't exist in the way I want to think about them. Not too many years ago they denied their existance altogether, so I still have hope.

The colours thing was also very interesting -- I love colour theory. I had read before that the ancient Egyptians used the same word for what we consider blue and green, but I'd never seen a more modern and in-depth study before. I definitely think the boundaries rather than the centres is what's interesting, as one of the researchers suggested.

I also think that there's a lot of interesting differences in colour definitions even within cultures. And there's the inaccuracies of teachers telling primary school kids that "red, yellow, and blue" are the primary colours with which they can make any colour of paint, which is 2/3 wrong -- the primary colours of pigments are magenta, yellow, and cyan (as used by printers), while the primary colours of light are red, green, and blue (as used by tv's and projectors). The difficulty in using primary colours to create vivid secondary colours like violet is even more complicated by the difficulty in finding a stable, colourfast pigment to use for magenta -- what gets used in affordable artists supplies is usually several degrees off on the colour wheel from a pure magenta, because otherwise it wouldn't be permanent.

Even discussing painting the walls with my partner when we first moved into this apartment was interesting, as we couldn't agree on a common term to call the existing colour on the walls -- I kept insisting it was peach: a pale shade of reddish-orange, while he claimed it was a warm pink: a pale shade of red. No, pink is a pale shade of magenta, it doesn't have any yellow in it, I insisted. And on it went, till we agreed to disagree. ~_^

Then there's changing definitions of colour over the years, such as the ancient Greek's "purple" being something closer to what we'd now consider a vivid burgandy than violet. And in ancient Rome and Byzantium it was a crime punishable by death for it to be worn by anyone but the emperor, if I recall my Classical History correctly.

I am such a colour geek. ^_^;;

=D man, but that's a good thing. rock on! (it's fun getting to know you like this =) )
