Nov. 7th, 2009 12:50 pmThere's another version of the Discovery I love the whole world video.
( I love when humans fly! )
Excuse me, there's something in my eye.

Oct. 15th, 2009 10:08 pmWell, clearly the universe wants me to indulge in crack!AUs (the Quidditch AU now has a magic carpet ride; it's a family heirloom, Uther keeps it hidden and that time he had to pay off people in the Ministry when they came for an inspection - little does he know that Arthur and Morgana used to sneak out for joyrides all the time when they were home in summer). First, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queenzulu wrote On the Edge of Night, which is a ST:Reboot/House fusion AU, with House and Wilson playing Kirk and McCoy respectively, while Foreman is a Vulcan with a human mother. Also, Captain Cuddy! Ensign Cameron! Lt. Chase!
And if that wasn't enough, there was this: snails do it differently by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
mrinalinee, which is a Jurassic Park/Merlin fusion AU. Or, the one in which they're dinosaurs. Hilarious and clever, featuring Uther Rex (who is against evolution; also, he ate Gwen's raptor-father), Arthur Rex (who's slightly dim), Gwen (she's a christmas-coloured raptor thing, and she has Opinions), Merlin (who's somewhat confused) and Gaius (who's a bird). And, of course, Morgana, who kind of steals the show with her revolutionary shenanigans.
I ♥ fandom.

So apart from forks, tomatoes, Morgana's dresses, unicorns, slash dragons, giant blind flesh-eating baby rats and crossbows, you know what else is canon in Merlin?

And this, ladies, is why I ♥♥♥ this show. ONLY in this show.

A wizard's staff has a knob on the end, knob on the end, knob on the end
A wizard's staff has a knob on the ennndddd!
What he does with it is magic!
A wizard's staff has a knob on the end
And runes run up the shaft
It's long and proud and stiff and loud
It's the pride of wizardcraft.

Does not give any of the plot away (beyond the obvious), in case you're wondering. Spoilers in comments.

Jun. 17th, 2009 10:06 amYou know, I realise that John Connor is only fifteen (sixteen), and I realise that his life has been hard and he's had no childhood and being mankind's future saviour is really hard, and I also realise that he *has* to grow up and become a man, but while watching the show I frequently have this feeling that he needs to shut up and listen to his mother. It's like CAPSLOCK Harry. Only without the CAPSLOCK.
And now I want to read a TSCC!HP AU story where Lily Potter is on the run with her son Harry, who is the future saviour of the wizarding world. There can be time travel! With bonus werewolves! And Snape! (I'm not sure where Cameron fits in, though - can we just have her anyway?)
I should start being more coherent about this show now (have watched till 2.01).

It's very bare, and I haven't gotten around to adding any of you yet, but I will! At some point! And import my LJ and stuff!
Also, there's *already* DW wank. Why am I not surprised? *g*

Well, okay, I boiled chicken in a pressure cooker. And then I made soup. And called my mother fifteen times asking for directions.
But! I cooked! Greatness, here I come!

Apr. 2nd, 2009 01:11 am* The Waste Land in LOLcat. A sample from the beginning of "What the Thunder Said", probably my favourite section in the poem:
V: U LISTEN THUNDERS OR ELSE!
after torchlight shiny in quiet gardens (322)
after sweaty faces in stony agony:
teh screamz and teh cries!
thunder in teh mountains, shaking all.
if u lives, u dies.
just wait.
u can has bukkit, (331)
no can has water,
ha ha no can has bukkit,
just rock and sand.
no stand, no sit,
no shirt, no shoes, no service,
just thunder shaking moutainzes.
no can has water.
no can has water.
actually, no can has rock either.
no can has water or rock,
or for that matter sand.
ceiling cat is watching you masturbate (360)
u and ur dirty friend.
* The first three chapters of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.

Mar. 10th, 2009 12:33 pm+ First, a tale a woe. My laptop's display died and the laptop has been retired hurt since Friday. The technician promises that I'll have it back tonight (and he's an acquaintance, so I can trust him). It will cost me a rather hefty amount, but I really don't care at this point. I want it back!
And if that was not enough, my phone had to be reformatted yesterday, and I had to survive an ENTIRE DAY using someone else's spare handset! It was deeply distressing.
(It is possible that I have an unhealthy attachment to these electronic devices. Ahem.)
ETA: Today's Dilbert strip read my mind.
+ But meanwhile!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
purimgifts is live! And my author wrote me a wonderful BSG story featuring Laura and Hera! And made me shiny icons! The Next Step. You must read it at once. *g*
+ A Voice in Ramah (Welcome to Holland) byignazwisdom: Cuddy makes a difficult, life-altering choice. The entire thing is *heartbreaking* and beautifully in character. Read it now!

Jan. 5th, 2009 02:21 pmThe unofficial theory of sci-fi creativity: proof that every one of our fandoms are actually in the same universe. BSG is placed *right* beside Firefly. So I guess it's okay if I write my Adama and Tigh are thrown out of the Fleet and become pirates in space AU? Hee.

Dec. 31st, 2008 07:33 amKnighthood for Pterry.
In the entertainment world, a knighthood for Terry Pratchett is recognition for a writing career that has seen him sell more than 55 million books worldwide, including his best-known Discworld series.
"There are times when phrases such as 'totally astonished' just don't do the job," said Sir Terry about the honour.
