I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I got the impression that Methos didn't actively participate in evil nowadays more because he couldn't be bothered (been there, done that, burned the hair extensions) than anything. In the episode with Byron he made no attempt to stop B. from ruining people's lives. His expressed way of handling immie trouble was "Lure him outside, take his head, problem solved." He only seemed to get into active goodness when Mac was involved. And even then he frequently charged Mac for bothering. (ie "give me the barge")

I suddenly have the urge to read all the ROG list mail I've been ignoring for the past year or so. Huh.

I liked Spike as a character so much better when he was evil. I suspect Sawyer will be the same way, unless the progression of the show changes in unexpected ways.

If I only had a brain...

And I'm now realizing that it's been about seven years since I got into fandom, and that I should do something to commemorate it.

Nothin' says lovin' like Spock ears.

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

I contend Sawyer was never evil. Just unpleasant. If they'd made him evil, I could enjoy him in less shallow ways. But I like the shallow ways too.

As for Spike -- flat out evil bores me. Mixed up evil, evil that sometimes does good for reasons a little more abstract than survival -- that gets me in.

I bought my Spock ears with a discount card.

Huh. So...that means me too. And we just passed the third anniversary of PolyRecs.

I've been working on those, btw, and also, holy crap.

I want to have a fandom festival to celebrate. If only we weren't so freaking busy.

Yeah, this update is going to be the update that Stargate: Atlantis ate, at least from my end.

We should do something later in the year, maybe. Or force people to do things for us.

Dude, you know I got your back. Plus, I suspect that I'll be going with the My Brain Has Been Devoured by Anime/Manga/Comics Ask Me How look, myself.

Ooh! This plan has potential.

oddest recent search string that brought someone to my website:

how to get black guys to take their gang rags off lose the cornrows and pull their pants up

I wonder how long that person stayed to look at my fic.
