Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Go you, msbelle!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yay Msbelle!

If I only had a brain...

That's a lovely compliment, ita.

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 bad. The NYT article below provides a lot of evidence that the religious right got "Welcome to the Neighborhoo," a reality TV show, killed before it even aired a single episode because ABC/Disney thought the religious right would pull its support for the movie Narnia if the gays were shown to win the reality show (the gay couple did win).

What's worse, a bit part of the religious right's problem with the reality show is that many of the neighbors of the gay couple in the show were quite homophobic Christians and by the end of the show they ended up loving their gay neighbors. The religious right objected especially to the fact that real Christians embraced their gay neighbors.

And it looks very strongly like ABC/Disney caved to the religious right in order to ensure that a reality TV show didn't show real Christians embracing gays.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet day here. At some point there will be housecleaning(boo!) and watching of the Stargates(yay?)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

watching cash cab. I would so rock this show.

I know! We're sitting here going "werewolf, dumbass!"

hip deep in pie

I have left the house without showering! I just pulled my grasy hair back, and went for groceries (what is it with my grocery store running out of canned black beans. I'm going to buy a case next time.) and to buy cat food.

Now I shower and I think I might see Transamerica.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Have people enjoyed Transamerica? I have the feeling it would be one of the films that would make me weep, and not in a good way.

watching of the Stargates(yay?)

absolutely yay! it makes me terrifically happy that it's back in regular production after the hiatus.

One of the great things about traveling is that the most mundane of tasks can be really interesting and exciting. Of course, when you are tired and don't want to do anything you have to *learn* it becomes something far more of a challenge.

All I want is cheetos and Memoirs of a Geisha. Why is the little shop down the street closed? and why do I have to waste energy finding another? These are the Big Questions of my day.
