Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

Glory ,'The Killer In Me'


Natter 65: Speed Limit Enforced by Aircraft  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Yup, from reading B'cracy, it seems his real name is Michael. I hadn't remembered that two of the names were the same ID. He did try to come back as mmmieskie (eta: and I find a mieskie/ and a /mieskie), but that doesn't count as pretending to be someone else. mieskie was, IIRC, the banned persona.

eta: Batman Begins Dawes was also trying the legal route to clean up the city, wasn't she?

Our wings are not tired.

The salesguy I posted about last week, the one to whom I accidentally sent the email saying I was irritated by constant calls and texts? Just told me that he and his wife are adopting, either out of Haiti or Ethiopia. He's an excellent salesman for knowing that I am likely to have my heartstrings tugged by this.

OK, so I'm 8 episodes into S1 of the Wire. Playing "spot that location" is amusing. Also, for ericka: D'Angelo Barksdale's apartment in this season? That was my old apartment complex, shot in a unit right across the street from me. I thought it might be, the layout was right. Then I saw the metal closet doors, the balcony brick, the floors...yup, that was it. Funny.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

There was a good comment to that article:

What you basically want are _good_ characters. Complex characters with flaws who get to do interesting things. And your main problem is looking for them, of either gender, in a Michael Bay movie.

I've been reading the mieske saga. He was an ass and got suspended. Then there were attempted registrations of mmmieskie, /mieskie, and mieskie/ (possibly more). Then he got his "final words" in as Michael (which is causing me to picture him as SG-A Michael). Then Schmoker started posting. There was drama over suspicion that he was really mieskie. When the board went down for a bit he registered at WX as Anathema and asked for the name change shortly after the Phoenix was back up. I haven't reached the end of that story yet.

hwæt

I didn't go to the Batman thing, I'm going to the other. Bushwick was just too far to travel on a school night, darnit.

Yep. I haven't gone looking into any other threads.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, that was the one we lost John H. over and I still feel badly about that.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just hit the part in B'cracy where Cindy says she's never posting at TWOP.

Bwahahahaha! I'm so re-reading that!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's pretty darn cool, sarameg

t /Wire still likes carrots
