We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Someone (Suela?) posted a link recently to an awesome multi-fandom vid, and now I can't find where (and am not 100% sure of who), but it was awesome! Made me kind of nostalgic for SGA, of all things. And Firefly, of course.

Heh. If you want a counter to that, when I get home I'll post a link to the SGA vid which is all about the dangerous imperialism of the Atlantis Expedition, and how the Pegasus natives just want the Earthers to go home...

I would be all over that vid! Also, figured out that I got the "Starships" vid from Jessica on FB. Because finding that out was clearly more important than actually, well, working.

Human Pantone portraits.

I wish that portraiture weren’t so damn hard for me.

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

The way their faces (and the background) are such different colours from the skin pulled tight and reflecting off their shoulder joints weirds me out. But that's not something I'd have noticed without the Pantone match.

I'd love to say portraiture isn't hard for me, but I know I'm at best a talented amateur, at worst a person who takes photographs that sometimes include people. But I really do like that. I miss the no-stress portrait--the one where I grab someone and we go driving around town and just stop places and burn a roll or two of film.

Which indicates a bit how long it's been since I did it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh hey, Steph? What were the meds you suggested for IBS?

I finally have an appointment with a specialist. I'm over whatever New England pathology I have that says enduring treatable pain is a sign of character.

Dunno about portraits, Tom, but you have an awful lot of amazing pictures of buffistas! :)

At least, I think that's the SGA vid I meant, I can't follow the link at work.

Taking people’s pictures isn’t hard; it’s the going up to people and asking them that I have a problem with.
