hibem's pointed out that 85 day was as much 8/5/5 day as anything else -- and I got attacked by plot-bunnies. So:100_roadtrips, and then I realized that I should just call a spade a spade (or in this case, a ficlet a ficlet), and quit abusing mod rights. So ya'll get to see my random bit o' unbeta'ed smut.( Read more... )

Reminds me actually of this one quote, that goes something like, "The ironic thing is that you can't self-improve until you accept yourself." Which, gah. working on...working on.
karose.metafandom (specifically bouncing off a comment on this one) on ability/disability and race and class and well. Yes, yes they do need to be addressed, but I'm just plain sometimes wondering *how* to even balance trying to display ability and race and class decently out in a diegetic world (ie. canon) that is most likely inherently flawed in that manner anyhoo. tzikeh!)liviapennxsmoonshine: Perfect Pitch in Tone Language Speakers Carries Over to Music, it's a study that shows it's easier for students with a tonal language background to get perfect pitch...On his way home from the market, Hakkai decided that he needed to sweeten the pill.Hakkai plays dirty pool. ::DIES:: Oh man, does he play dirty pool....
As far as he could tell, Gojyo hadn't eaten anything with vitamin content for weeks. He'd even gone to the trouble of picking out green things from Hakkai's nutritionally balanced meals and leaving them on the side of his plate. It was not allowable. Beer, cigarettes and meat formed an unhealthy diet. The argument arising from this at lunchtime had, frankly, spoiled the cosy atmosphere of their home. Gojyo had to learn.
At the door he paused to unbutton his collar. He ran a hand through his hair and shook it out and let his eyes take on a steely glint. That bit wasn't hard. As an afterthought he bit his lips to redden them.
Gojyo looked up when he entered the kitchen with his bag of oranges. He took his feet off the table; a good sign. He sat up straight, even better.

"The so-called No Child Left Behind Act has a little-known provision that mandates schools to provide our children’s personal information to the Pentagon so they can be recruited into the armed forces. The law also allows parents and guardians to stop their kids’ schools from providing this information to the Pentagon, but few know what is going on or how to stop it. Our friends at Working Assets have built an online tool to make it easy. Just click here to keep the military’s hands off your kids: http://www.leavemychildalone.org."
She got the feeling he was trying to cheer her up, and that made her laugh, helplessly, even past the knot that had grown fixed in her throat.
"Then I'm afraid you're in the wrong place, though I'm very glad to meet you, ah...?"
"Gojyo," he said. "Sha Gojyo."
"I'm Kanan. Were you...did you come after someone you knew?" she asked hesitantly, thinking that even someone who looked like trouble might have someone he cared for, a lover worth rescuing.
"You mean why am I here?" Gojyo asked, one corner of his mouth tipping up in a sardonic half-smile. "Same reason you are, I guess. His Horniness decided to broaden his horizons, and I'm the handsome bastard they picked to help him out."
ciceqi in Trouble on a Rainy Day"You irksome, adolescent, egomaniacal bastard. You have irritated and enraged me for the better part of thirty years, and I won't stand for another minute of it. In the interest of persuading you once and for all to shut up and leave me the hell alone, I will tell you, just this once: I love you, you little prick. I love the way you pull on your pants in the morning, I love the way you drink your tea, I love the way your hair falls in your face when you read, I love the lines around your eyes when you laugh. I've loved you so long I hardly know when I began, and I love you so well I shall never be able to stop. Your feeble little mind can hardly wrap itself around the degree to which I love you, and you needn't preen yourself overmuch for your bravery today, because if you hadn't said it, I surely would not have been able to contain myself much longer. I love you, and only you, and shall never love another my life long, and when you are tired of me and toss me out on my ear, underneath my hatred will still be love, and more love, and yet more. And if, by some undeserved mercy of God, I am fortunate enough to die before you, my last words to you will be: I love you, Sirius Black."~ From a story by

jackiekjono!!! Breakthrough about our vid: main problem is going to be sustaining a 'meaning' or 'storyline' through what is essentially and at heart a movement vid instead of a narrative vid. ...well. Then the side of the brain pipes up and wonders why I can't simply make a movement vid. sisabet on Vidding Fandom : 'cause that's so true, at least for me.alchemylab : for the Black Potions Alchemy Lab swaps and sales from person to person. The prices are similar to those of BPAL itself (ie. $3 per imp), but the shipping is usually less and it seems faster 'cause the Lab's all swamped.
