bits from QI

Stephen Fry: "I am a WILD PANSY."

Stephen Fry (reading from a pony express advert): "'Wanted: young, skinny wiry fellows, not over eighteen. Must be expert riders willing to risk death daily --'"
Alan Davies: "You wrote that!"
Stephen Fry: [laughing] "It goes on -- 'Orphans preferred'."


clive anderson illustrates why you should only throw your cat out of a window if you are at least seven stories up.

watching xena: warrior princess with the roommates:

aries, god of war: "You love danger. And, as you know, I am somewhat dangerous."

all right, so i am definitely enjoying the numerous multi-part alternative fifth seasons that are being written, but seriously, THIS is the premise that really deserves a season of its very own:

Long Way for a Shortcut, by netgirl_y2k. (GIANT FINALE SPOILERS, obviously.)
Summary: I’m a human being with the brain of a Time Lord and he’s a Time Lord trapped in a human body. Which isn’t nearly as kinky as it sounds.

absolute win. yes.

OK INTERNETS I AM OFF TO A DOCTOR WHO FINALE PARTY (WITH PROJECTER, OH YEAH)

FOODS AND TIME RIFTS AWAIT

BE GOOD WHILE I'M GONE

some thinkins about the themes for this series of doctor who. general spoilers for the entire series including "the stolen earth".

( What do you have, now? )

so AIM was happening as cesario was watching the last bits of "the doctor dances" for the first time (I KNOW. WHUT):

cesario: wow, i didn't know this about Jack almost dying.
cesario: a death martini!
prof_pangaea: it is more awesome if you haven't seen him still on the show three seasons later, yes. except his gay is way too gay. even for me.
cesario: heh
prof_pangaea: wtf did i just type??
cesario: no idea.
prof_pangaea: HAT.
prof_pangaea: HAT IS WAY TOO GAY
cesario: OH
cesario: OK
prof_pangaea: ahahahahaha
cesario: THAT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE
prof_pangaea: oh god i am collapsing of laughter in the middle of the cafe
cesario: :-)
prof_pangaea: i do feel that "his gay is way too gay" is sort of accurate too, though.
cesario: Well, that's why I didn't notice anything was wrong with that.
prof_pangaea: "His gay is way too gay. Even for me." - professor pangaea, July 2nd, 2008

prof_pangaea: have i ever mentioned how much i love when the master addresses the people of earth as "earthlings"? LOVE
cesario: WHICH IS WHY HE AND DONNA ARE SOULMATES
prof_pangaea: OH GOD YOU'RE RIGHT
cesario: MARTIAN VS EARTHLING: DEATHMATCH 2008
prof_pangaea: SOMEHOW IT TURNS INTO A SHAGMATCH
cesario: <3 <3 <3 <3

lots of stuff has been happening. i get overwhelmed and thus do not post, because it seems like too much. anyway i am currently in california visiting my grandparents whom i hadn't seen for ten years, and meeting cousins i never knew i had. ok, i knew i had them but it was like they were unreal on account of how i had never met them or spoke to them. but now they are real! it is very awesome! also everyone is very cool with my being trans, which is quite wonderful.

went to a beautiful lake today with one cousin (the only one i had ever met before, and we still get along wonderfully, which is so nice). clear, clear water, and the sand was full of iron pyrite, so ever time you walked in the water clouds of shimmering sand would sparkle underneath the surface.

end of this month i'll be moving in with a couple friends into a new place in milwaukee. i was planning on going to chicago and then opportunity arose, and milwaukee just seemed like the thing to do.

wow i forgot how much i love oingo boingo. they are so fucking good.

oh man if the rest of the album is as good as this song, "Moduless", then Paza might be my new continuous repeat artist. (fuck yeah, he's got Psilodump on there!). sounds like it's NES stuff. mmmmm, computer singing.

i think bees are my favourite animal. that are not currently extinct, and have already evolved (i.e. are not from the future. maybe in the future there will be animals even more awesome than bees. but it would be hard, let me tell you). i watched a program on Nature about colony collapse disorder and it was very scary. a world without bees would be a sad sad world indeed, like a world without love.

these are the questions that violetisblue asked me when i FOOLISHLY decided to participate in a meme for the first time since i was knee-high to a remus/sirius shipper. foolishly on account of, er, packing, moving, seeing my guy off to st. louis and myself off to temporary homelessness and crashing with friends and relatives. and some other stuff too, probably.

1. What's one (just one) stereotype, kneejerk assumption or casual piece of ignorance you see a lot of people who "should know better" indulge in regularly, that you would like to dissuade and divest them of immediately?
"anarchism" =! "chaos". anarchy means "without leaders", and thus is opposed to oligarchies and dictatorships and vertically orientated systems of all kinds, but that leaves all kinds of horizontally orientated organisational systems open. you'll have to ask an actual anarchist (or political theorist!) for details though.

also, it's "all right", not "alright", ok guys! (i cheated, yah).

( there's more under the cut, guys! including a wee bit of fantasy child-rearing, a wee bit of doctor who, and a wee bit of LIFE'S MISTAKES )

in conclusion: i could always learn how to make my own cheese. i bet that would count as "character-building" with kids, too.
