when you open up your mouth to speak, could you be a little weak?

1. UNIT fic: http://astrogirl2.livejournal.com/395181.html?style=mine IS GOOD. Go. Read. *shoos*
2. I am old, but not as old as some.
3. It's almost time for the annual V-Day Femslash Porn Battle (OMG, it's been a YEAR since the last one!) Prompts being taken: http://community.livejournal.com/femslash_today/73741.html?style=mine
4. Speaking of femslash, January 16th marked the second birthday of [livejournal.com profile] starcrossedlure. That's right, folks, Kara Thrace/Sam Carter has been a pairing for more than two years now. Maybe I should actually write some more. (Starcrossed was actually created before the BSG femslash community was. Heh. Guess Kara really does bring all the girls to the yard. ;)
5. I heard edited U2 today. ...who the fuck edits U2? ('One', for the record)
How the stanza goes:
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
to the lepers in your head

How I heard it on the radio today:
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here for forgiveness
to the lepers in your head

BECAUSE THAT LATTER HALF MAKES SO MUCH GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

I guess they didn't want to offend the Christians in the audience. Or something. 'cause, y'know, "Wake Up, Dead Man"? Is really Bono's lovesong to God...

6. I like starting fic in media res. I hate having to get TO the action. Hrm.
7. I have the Pyramid Game of Foreplay on a cd, and. Man. That is so distracting to listen to, at work. Not to mention: it lays the ground for how their relationship works. "...bum knee took me out of contention." "Is that gonna be your excuse when I kick your ass? 'Oh, my poor knee hurts.'" "At least I have one." (I'm really wanting it to go back to Kara and Helo's Caprica Road Show with Extra Anders. Sigh.)
8. Damn, Mark Sheppard gets around (I think he might top some Brit actors for the SF bonanza... X-Files, Firefly, BSG, Voyager... OH LOVELY VANCOUVER, where you have only twelve actors total!)
9. Trucco is in one of the new promo pics. Yay. http://pics.livejournal.com/drewcypher/gallery/000a8e4s

ETA:
10. Frell, I knew I forgot something. More Ben Browder picspam (this time as Cameron Mitchell) here!

I was right! That IS Badger! \o/

Alas, poor Sam has to wear sleeves. *sigh*

Sorry. That's all I got.

I know! Woe, for I could not see the painted on tattoo! (bet makeup was glad not to have to put it on him...)

It is the guy who scared the crap out of Mulder. That's what I remember.

HA! Frakkin' makeup probably talked the wardrobe people into it.

And now, I must go watch Special Unit 2 on skiffy. For it is amusing.

BECAUSE THAT LATTER HALF MAKES SO MUCH GRAMMATICAL SENSE.

The one for me is Torn Between Two Lovers (I don't recall the artist or even for sure which decade it was a hit). The verse goes:

Torn between two lovers
Feelin' like a fool
Loving both of you
Is breaking all the rules

But if it were just changed to:

Torn between two lovers
Feelin' like a fool
Loving both of you
Is breaking every rule

It'd still scan, and be grammatically correct, and it's be a clear rhyme instead of a near rhyme. It isn't hard to think of it. Someone really dropped the ball.

Dude, why would someone edit that? Why is that bad? Now granted it comes off the album that was basically wall to wall sex, but still...

BTW, have you heard all these churches that are having U2charist? I'd always thought we'd end up with some wacky Church of Elvis, but I guess not. Move over Elvonics and all hail Bono King of the Zoos.

re: #5
I boycott a certain local station because they edited one of my very favorite songs ever. Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes. The original verse goes:

In your eyes
the light, the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway,
of a thousand churches
In Your eyes
the resolution
of all my fruitless searches.

They play it:
In your eyes
the light, the heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
the resolution
of all my fruitless searches.

Why is the word 'churches' offensive???

Possibly for the Jesus reference. Otherwise, I got nothin'.

I have! Oh, Church of England, you are as... strange as some think. Really.

Hrm. Possibly, the author demanded poetic license?

Wait. Mark Sheppard was in BSG? When? TELL ME NOW.

I really need to learn to read things all the way through. Thanks, though!

That was my thought too. Whta's up with the sleeves? I need my Anders arm porn. And what's up with the bracelet on the left wrist?

Looks like he's got one on his right, too. D'no...
