- Picked up Vulcan's Glory from the library today per taraljc's rec.
- Need to do some tagging into new EPs. Or do a Remy EP myself, or both. Or not SUCK.
- Doctor's userpics are about to expire. Must buy more. I can get by on a few for Remy, but not him.
- Wrote second-to-last flashfic last night. TONIGHT THEY WILL BE DONE. AND POSTED.
- The Emmy nominations are a load of shit.
- I am volunteering my services, as usual, to anyone who needs a resource for Star Trek universe questions. Also trekcanonfodder.
- Tumblr has reminded me that William Shatner was once attractive. This is scary.
- I am so freaking excited that I have found a source for well-made Tom Quinn/Spooks S1-S2 icons. You will have to ask if you want to know because I AM SNEAKY.

UNPOPULAR FANNISH OPINION AHEAD:
- As noted on Twitter, after my reading a bunch of really lousy Pinto fic: I sort of want to be famous for the sole reason of people writing RPS about me that I can read and laugh at. On the topic of RPS, I have determined that I can't read it unless it's very well written and also crackfic (see rageprufrock's D:, or that one-off Tennant/Eccleston that speshulduck did years ago) or AU. Otherwise it's just like THIS IS SRS BSNS I AM SRS FIC and it's embarrassing to read. I think it's because we all know it didn't happen that way, and writing all serious-like is just ludicrous, to me.

If, and I doubt this, any of you were a part of the fucking morons who decided it would help your vast emopain to vent your spleen at James Moran, you can kindly gtfo my friendslist.

I have not watched CoE and don't intend to. From all angles, positive responses and negative ones, I have heard it fits into my previous crit, namely: I think that the RTD-produced shows on the Beeb often tend towards a formula of wreaking massive, emotionally painful hell and then trying to solve it all in five minutes. I don't think this is particularly good SF writing, and I have ranted about it before. I have also ranted about how I think RTD has difficulty with the portrayal of bisexuality in an accurate manner. I stand by those beliefs.

I think criticism can be justified, if it's criticism of the writing and production. I think people are allowed to be angry and upset and say things amongst themselves until they calm down. But do not be fucking attacking someone where they live with ad hominem judgments and fury.

As someone who'd like to go into the industry, I know I wouldn't want to face that kind of bullshit, and it paints fandom with a wide brush of mad raging cunts who only give a shit about escapist fantasies. The pain you feel at the loss of a fucking fictional character is, while real, not exactly on the level of trashing a very real someone's career, coworkers, and friends.

Please take that into fucking consideration.

In case you were wondering, Trek fandom, and yes, I am looking at some of you:
Jim Kirk is more than a fucking drunken fratboy slut. Stop writing him like one.

(with a hat tip to taraljc for writing the essay I've been meaning to for weeks.)

Having studied both Michael Jackson and Charlie's Angels in an academic fashion...

Both of these endings are so fucking tragic, regardless of anything else.

Because I want to hear myself talk you want to hear me be a snarky bitch: that meme. Name a fandom and I will give you three (possibly more) of my unpopular opinions about said fandom.

The universe needs more of him.

It serves me right that on the day I set aside to work on my housing application, UofB's CSS server is down, basically borking all of their websites.

I'll be over here beating my head against the table.

I have decided I should get tipsy this evening. If I get a quarter as tipsy as delicfcd was, it will be worth it.

Resolved: I require an 'Everybody In The TARDIS Get Tipsy' icon.
