Hee. It pays to have been in the military and like to read historical war novels. W.E.B. Griffin is my hero (and my source.)
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
1942-43 America was already in the war. We did send a number of bomber squadrons to England to help them bomb the fuck out of Germany. I don't know if we had any fighter squadrons there at all, I'm guessing we did. It's not like we could put bases in France, Spain or Italy at the time. I believe RAF Northholt was the primary staging ground for the Americans. Also, there was a whole group of women, called WASPs, that ferried bombers back and forth across the Atlantic during the war. And yes, the service was originally called the Army Air Corps. It was after the war that they separated the Air Force out as a separate service.
...it's bad that I only know this because of a Judith Krantz book, isn't it?

Heh. Knowledge is knowledge, no matter how it's obtained (as long as it's legal.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Wow, the debate about obscure fandoms is getting started on yuletide, and I already have hives.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Ooh, really? I expect it to be grand fun all 'round, now that there's no hard and fast rule about it.

I just...someone nominated Sports Night. Make an effort, people.
Unless the thought is that not enough new SN fic is being written. But you know, there's a fine line between "obscure" and "beating other people over the head with your agenda".

I already have plenty of Yuletide-related Sports Night trauma. I don't need more!

Huh. Apparently SN is at least under consideration because the Trickster archive crashed and disappeared.
On the other hand, it looks like the same rule will possibly get Homicide back on the list.

That could rock. I'm staying out of the discussions. As long as there are three fandoms which I would like to request and/or write, I'm cool with that. If not, then I participate in the big Bleach holiday exchange. No way I'm doing both again this year.
