Entertaining in a Disturbing Way

#1 realizing the fan community you started as a whim now has 216 watchers. *hides behind pillow fort and stares*

(jesus, when did Orphan Black get so big?)

A. In other news, I wrote fic over the weekend -- well, wrote some and edited/posted the other.
- Burnt Out Stars - not happy ending Bletchley Circle, Susan/Millie (because I couldn't see it any other way when writing it, though I might change my mind at another time) - written eons ago before the second series was even a rumor.
- No Cleaning Involved - Black Books, Fran points out that the kitchen needs cleaning. No cleaning whatsoever ensues. (written for the Obscure and British commentfest)

B. I've got two thousand words of Ada Gillyflower fic. idek, idek. At least it's personal fanon!fic, so I'm enjoying the writing process.

C. It is so cold here I have hot cocoa and am huddling in my blanket. WISCONSIN WHY.

D. The weirdest thing about getting my news from CNN at lunch (while half not-paying-attention) is that I really think I'd like to quit doing the job I'm being paid for and just sue the president...

E. I actually wrote a fic scene long-hand at work the other day. I've not done that in... a while. (I used to fill notebooks in about six months)

F. Large portions of series 7 of newskool Who is highly quotable. Either that or I'm just at the point where I've listened to it so much I can mouth the words along with the characters. (It's never about the software, it's about the people. This is what it's like when I'm alone. Perhaps the universe makes bargains after all.) (I'll stop now)

G. Seriously, there is no show more suited to listening to as MP3s than Who. Even oldskool is fabulous (I am afraid to listen to Fenric again as it will make me cry).

"But we're not gonna throw women under the bus to give them an agreement to keep this government open."

Dear Democratic women senators, you fucking rock.

“If you wanna feel better about this earthquake in Japan, google ‘Pearl Harbor death toll,’” tweeted Alec Sulkin, a scriptwriter for the Fox animated television show “Family Guy.”

Man. If I ever had any interest in watching Family Guy, it's fucking gone now. Source is pretty sure today was a bad day to get out of bed

But I have no idea what.

Walking into work today, the second thing I heard was my managers talking about how awesome the republicans were for their brave move against the corruption of unions. I hadn't had my coffee. The urge to flee was hard to restrain.

My headphones died yesterday, and I sadly went the cheap route to replace them. Sigh.

I was voting in the fandom march madness stuff until the anti-Scully people were such assholes (and weren't called on it). I've been ignoring it, since. But my lj notes did get a nice workout, on that thread, so, kudos for the jackasses showing off so I could avoid them like the fucking plagues they are.

Rachel Maddow was talking about Fracking on her show tonight. SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH or crack bad CSI and Katee Sackhoff jokes.

I should go sleep. It's been a long day.

At least I don't work tomorrow.

1. I made the mistake of watching all of the Midsomer Murders I'd managed to get my hands on last night. Now I have no more to watch. :/

2. I cannot wait until Leverage, Haven, Doctor Who and Covert Affairs start up again, not to mention Spooks. Nikita is also out of new episodes for a ridiculously long time.

3. Tricia Helfer has been added to the cast of Ron Moore's new show. She's playing a necromantic coroner named Morgana. That is like Lyssie-brains-catnip, and entirely unfair. I don't want to watch a new Ron Moore show. :/

4. I suppose I could watch Leverage, with the commentaries on or something and do puzzles.

5. In Lolitics news, Scott Walker's threatened layoffs (you know, the ones he said would have to happen if the democrats didn't come back and pass his bill) have not, in fact, occurred. They did take away the democrats' parking spaces, though. That should help the budget. Really.

I'm bored. I'm watching Wheel of Fortune (and Jeopardy). Every. Single. Commercial. Break. has had a pro-Scott Walker commercial. Every single one.

eta: even worse is how I forget to type things in my head. ahem. Pro-Scott Walker means "Democrats want you to pay for their pensions! Oh, and raise taxes! But if they'd just come back, Scott Walker (JESUS) could solve ALL of Wisconsin's problems, so those LAZY LAZY union people get pwned. Oh, and we're firing 227,000 people if Scott Walker doesn't win."

And then Scott stomps his feet like a six-year-old.

(ok, the last was hyperbole)

It's fucking frightening how many millions of dollars are being spent on lying so that big business can stay in power.

(further to the eta, I finally saw a "Scott Walker is a lying idiot" commercial)
