Architects of the world

1. I'm really digging Johnny Hollow's 'Dirty Hands' album. (Human Lullaby and Aegis are the only two tracks I skip consistently) (gothy electronica? idek how to classify music these days)

2. I got two compliments on my hair today. The first from the supervisor across the hall (which, well, felt awkward, as, STICKLER FOR EFFICIENCY or so I've been told), the second from someone in another department. I was asked who in my ancestry had red hair and admitted it was fake. Next time, I'm telling them Amelia Pond was a great-grandmother of mine.

3. Speaking of Pond, I realized why I haven't really felt critical of this season's DW stuff. It's because it is id-crack for me, so I don't see the point of doing so, as I simply love it unabashedly.

4. The smoke haze was gone by the next day. But it has been ridiculously cool. Dammit, fall, I want you, but I'd prefer winter keep its mitts elsewhere for a while longer.

5. I never managed to do anything for the womenwelovefest thingie, but I couldn't think of anyone I wanted to do (and then it was too late to sign up/claim anyone anyway). But my clearest memory is still going to be the fact that there are people who don't like Ros Myers. And that just. What.

That is like finding out people don't like to breathe.

Srsly. (my thoughts on Ros aren't particularly coherent, and usually go something like betrayal/that one time in the embassy/KILLED A MAN WITH A FORK/her reaction to that one spoiler/HEADHUNTED BY BAD GUYS... No, srsly, she is awesome and gets her own story-lines and isn't above being awful to people, but still looks out for her own crew and I am going to get flaily, so I shall talk about something else now etc)

6. Actually I sort of want to think about some of the other disliked women, like Sgt. Hadrian (my first marine sergeant gf); or Melanie Bush. (or others whom I am blanking on)

7. I need to do a whole post on DW spoilers, so that I can make up horrible fic ideas to frighten people with. (I should catch up on Eureka/Lost Girl, too)

8. Speaking of, BSG/the Mummy fusion. In space. y/y?

eta: 9. Also, apparently, Nine Lives of Chloe King has been canceled? I would like to be surprised, but it wasn't focused on boring white men, so it was pretty much doomed the instant it was proposed.

YES. YES, that, too. (I can sort of rationalize not liking/enjoying some of them? But hating? No. DOES NOT WORK)

But I was just getting into it!!! I watched the first three or four episodes and was planning on watching the rest this weekend and it's been canceled?! WHY IS LIFE SO UNFAIR?!

Not unfair, just weighted against those of us who don't like tv about and for white males?

I guess...

I feel like I'm on the road to becoming an ABC Family stan, as it's possibly the only network out there with the majority of it's shows centering around female characters. Granted, they're usually teenagers and the network doesn't have THAT many shows to being with...but still...

I will finish Chole King at some point (though now that it's been canceled, there's no real rush to catch up) and I think I'm going to try Switched at Birth, as well.

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS EVEN IF I LIVE TO BE A THOUSAND YEARS OLD. "Your testicles are yours to take home with you." Seriously. There is not a single thing about her that isn't epically amazing.

I know. And it's rather frightening to realize that.

Actually, they ended up not needing people to claim anything for womenlovefest, because too many people signed up and overwhelmed the fest. People just posted whatever they wanted for whoever they wanted (I did Helen Magnus, Ashley Magnus, Kate Freelander, Ziva David, and Tara Cole, but didn't make it to 7 posts on anyone). There's going to be another fest at some point in the future.

I like red hair. Even if it is fake.

I watched the first few episodes of Chloe King. I'm sad it didn't last, though the sci-fi-ness of it may not have been a good fit for ABC Family, which seems to be kind of a junior version of Lifetime except the women aren't usually in as much jeopardy.
