My computer is still broken. [personal profile] my_daroga is letting me use hers. I wanted to continue with Tuesday-posting, even though I can't actually post all the stuff I've been writing. I haven't been caught up on DW/LJ in a long time, but . . . well, if you've posted it I've probably missed it. Don't think I'll get a new comp/get the old one fixed for a couple weeks. But in the meantime, some quick things:

-Tell me something you did recently that made you happy. It can be something you're proud of, or something you did to please yourself, or something you did for something else. I want happy things!

-I still think Avatar: The Last Air-Bender is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread. This is kind of sad since I was really getting into Star Trek again. I also have a fairly strong thing for BBC's Sherlock. But Avatar. I think, "OMG Zuko," and then find myself saying, "OMG Sokka," and then, "OMG Katara" and IrohTyLeeMaiTophAang. Sometimes even, Oh Roku or Kyoshi or Ursa.

-What do you think about hypertext fiction? A fictional story that has hyperlinks within it? Have you seen it done; in what context; was it supplemental to the story, or integral?

-I always thought people liked James Dean for the reasons they like Marlon Brando. You know, because he was bad and hot. I didn't know it was the whole sweet-vulnerable-tries-to-be-bad-and-hot-(maybe all because he's in love with Marlon Brando) thing. Wow. I sort of love him now. And really need Jim/Plato from Rebel. . . (Btw, I adore Marlon Brando! But James Dean ain't Brando. So I was confused.)

-The Wire is one of the best shows that exists. I'm not fannish about it. It's just one of the best.

-I'm going to Michigan and then Houston this Friday. It will be nice to see home and family.

Hi I'm sort of alive!

So this past week has been pretty crazy. If you posted something chances are I didn't read it, but don't link me to it now 'cause ... I still won't be able to read it.

But I'll be ghosting about, and should be back regularly by next week. Then I can read the rest of the IWRY Marathon stories, reply to emails, read fics, leave fb, and dump wild and crazy meta on you that's been stewing forever, and possibly also that cracktastic Spangel thing.

But for now, lots of family and lots of food and lots of stuff and lots of driving later, I have those strange intersections of family, friends and fandom to share. TKFamily Holiday Hijinks )

Hi, I'm back from vacation in northern Michigan so now I'll be posting/commenting more. I'm glad so many of you folks had so much fun seeing each other at Writercon. And now some of you are seeing VK and I KNOW that's fun.

But for the past month I saw family. And I had fun. But sometimes, you get to missing fandom. Other times, I was so glad to be cut off from the computer and tv and telephone and even my car. But not my shower. Anyway, because I thought of you guys while I was away, and because I'm so happy to get back to my shower, here are some random moments in the wilderness. There are a few pictures. There might be more because I can't help myself. It's my favorite place, yo. )

1. So my mom's seen all of BtVS. But we're watching it a second time. And in S5 "Blood Ties", you know that scene where Dawn goes to Ben and tells him she's the Key, then Ben changes into Glory? TKMOM: OMG, Ben is Glory?
TKme: Yeah, Glory is in Ben's body.
TKMom: You mean Ben is in Glory's body?
TKme: Yeah, Glory is Ben.
TKMom: So. Glory and Ben.
TKme: Are the same person.
TKMom: Glory and Ben are the same person?

I KID YOU NOT.

2. So I'm writing smut, slashy porn type smut, with things I don't believe I've typed before and god, did I even know Angel was that raunchy, and all the sudden there's a knock on my door. So I open it up and hear, "Hello. Have you let Jesus Christ into your life today?" All I could think was Angel does feel very close to Jesus right now, yes he does. "Have you had a chance to study the Book of Mormon, the Testament of Jesus Christ?" I'm spending my quality time studying porn, thank you.

I've actually never had missionaries come to my house before, and would've really liked to've chatter with them and perhaps offer them tea, but I was so embarrassed I said no and shut the door. And I think they thought I was laughing at them, which made me really ashamed of myself. Then I went back to studying porn.

3. So (all stories start with so, apparently) I just watched The Gift. I forgot how Spike cries at the end. Then I went downstairs and there was this little rabbit the size of a hamster sitting on the stoop just outside the front door, munching on little green leaf planty things. And it felt very ironic to watch Buffy die and then see this bitty baby bunny live.

4. So Friday my brother calls to ask when my mom is coming to Michigan so he knows when to go up to see her, and my mother says she's going Tuesday, and I'm going with her. I'd been thinking about going again to see my brother and also just because I can, and that jazz, but this was so very sudden. But hey it's free, so I'm there. Since I'm going to be gone longer this time I'm going to be dropping by an internet cafe every couple days just to see what's up, but I'll be less available. But I'll be there if you want to get in contact with me, and I will also fly about randomly commenting. But anyway, toodles!
