Heh. I think I'll do that.

“Not dead yet!”
Barb, are you referring to the Way encounter in her lj? So perfect.
Yep. That was just spectacular and so, so fitting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Trudy's spoiler font made me laugh that it was considered a spoiler. LOL!!!
I just couldn't help myself.
Ya think, Trudy?! Hee. It's fun. I think so; maybe.
Yeah, I really do, Erin. It seems like the real deal.

I had a good fun evening tonight--dancing with newish friends at the country bar (sadly, one was only here for the summer and is heading back to Wyoming after this weekend), then over to the ballroom for more dancing, where we met up with other people who I had met the week before, and then we all ended up going to dinner together where there was excessive laughter and stories and hilarity. I like the new people and want to be friends! Much fun, and yay for building new friendships.
Also yay for the Monte Cristo sandwich, which was DELISH....mmmm, it was like cheese and ham in the middle of french toast, and strawberry freezer jam to dip it in. Several others ended up having a little bit, and everyone ended up having a little of the jam, it was so yum.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Just watched first episode of Legend of the Seeker.
...it's not supposed to be a comedy, right? I mean, it seems to be a compilation of every book I read in my teens. I'm sort of mesmerised.

Oh, Fay. Don't waste any more of your lovely life on that twaddle. The books are *awful*, and repetitive (and this from the guy who worships the Man Who Invented Fantasy Tropes), and *boring*. One interesting concept in each book, hammered at repeatedly until it's useless.
And the TV show is just a pale, pale reflection of THAT mediocrity.
Why no, I don't have an opinion on the subject - why do you ask?
ETfurtherself-referentiallyA: this also from the guy who is playing "Lord of the Rings Online" while watching "Krull".
Again.
YMMV

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
It's sort of been on as background noise, and from time to time I go over and stare at the screen incredulously. It's like Xena, without the charm or self-awareness.

You're absolutely right. But I like the girl's wardrobe (of, er, two outfits) and I have this faint hope that the hero's going to take his shirt off again. Although so far, there has just been the one scene of gratuitous shirtlessness, in the pilot ep.
But it was VERY GOOD shirtlessness. Really. Very good.
The rest of the show, however, seems mostly to be fodder for a drinking game. And I have chimed in with the lines several times now. ("You must accept your destiny!" "This is The Sword Of Truth!" "Luke, I am your father!") And of course the plot points are VERY heavily telegraphed. By wizards throwing anvils made of cheese at the viewer. Still, there have been several laugh-out-loud moments of badness.
...but not, I think, enough to tempt me to put the next DVD in the machine, now that the first one has wended to a close.
New Zealand is very pretty. And I'm astonished that they got funding to make 22 episodes of this craziness. 22. And Firefly and the Tick both got cancelled. And Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles didn't make it to a third season.
Oh, world.
