Idly wonders what parts of the internets tommyrot is surfing that he comes up with maliciously vomiting students and dating back to back.
Oddly enough, both are currently on the front page of MSNBC.
Simon: Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword. Zoe: I think he knows which end to hold.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is kinda' cool - video footage of the shuttle launch that was filmed from a WB-57 aircraft (link goes diretly to .wmv file): [link]
The WB-57 is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft - it can fly almost as high as a U-2 but can carry a much heavier payload.

What is even happening?
You people are being insufficiently entertaining. Entertain me, or I will be forced to recite a litany of my physical complaints, and really, even I'm bored with them, now.
Also...what day of the week is it? Honestly, I have no clue. Is it Tuesday? Or Wednesday? I think it's Tuesday, but I can't tell.

Also, don't tell Topic!Cindy anything that's happened today, because it's the future for her, and we don't want her messing up the timeline.
Although if she asks nice maybe we could give her the winning lottery number or something....

I heard this morning that the wake up song for the shuttle was "I Got You Babe", which of course made me think of Groundhog Day. Is Cindy on the shuttle?

Oh god. I would have lept into the cargo bay without a spacesuit. They've got them as captives in a bubble far from home and they torture them?

Slash is still a niche market, and would be unprofitable, and it just SEEMS like most fanfic is slash. Which I suppose says something about my fanfic reading habits. Alternatively, everyone from romance writers to comic book writers to porn directors has been missing out on market share.
It's really not mostly slash. Even in the slashiest fandoms, like SG: Atlantis or Smallville, I think that less than half of the total stories are slash. Gen and het stories are a huge element of the fandom.
I agree that the romance market is missing out, though. Suzanne Brockman's latest (or one of the latest) has a gay romance as the B plot, and I'd like to find out how that one did, compared to her other ones.
