thursday is almost friday

1. I have slogged through to Horse and His Boy (I do not hold with this 'in canon order' nonsense, and prefer my Narnia out of timeline order), which is unfortunately hard-going due to, well, the racism (only the white boy is 'good'). I find myself actively disliking most of the "they need improvement" lead characters (Eustace, Edmund, Jill, Aravis, Shasta). I expect it's a lack of empathy for misbehaving and selfish children? I don't know. Possibly, I over-identify with the ones in charge like Susan and Peter.

2. I'm still unable to hear assss-lannn without snickering. Luckily, more of the audio readers go for azzz-lann or az-lawn.

3. Links:
SGA Kink Meme: http://community.livejournal.com/sga_kinkmeme/1800.html?style=mine (you will want the style=mine part, that is the ugliest layout ever)
Porn Battle Round-up from last time: http://community.livejournal.com/bsg_pornbattle/17538.html (also, the fifth round starts taking prompts tonight)
[livejournal.com profile] bsg_kink is voting on the recent drabble contest.

4. Ladyfest recs:
Amy Pond and Mrs. Peel (not by me)
nu!Trek, Uhura (also not by me)

5. I find myself oddly amused when I watch stuff with River and the Doctor. As much as they're being pushed as 'shippy', they're... really not. Like, they are, but they aren't. If that makes any sense. They're more caught up in events around them instead of Angsty Looks or kisses or whatever. I suspect this is why I sort of back-handedly ship them? Hrm.

6. On another note entirely, I tend to stop paying attention to reviews of Who that include phrases like "I prefer Amelia" or "I didn't like River in SitL/FotD". Just, y'know, an fyi. (also, it's totally the best way to get me to ignore you. Start every post with it, and you become invisible =D) (ps, try to explain and I'll probably killfile you for the annoyance)

7. I had forgotten this icon. Also, [livejournal.com profile] bluediamond421 is watching Lantis for the first time and would possibly like non-spoilery season-one Sparky fic recs. ;D
