Because I couldn't resist the siren call of [livejournal.com profile] elucreh writing a drabble for me, I offer this meme:

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, y'all have to post this in your journal, regardless of your ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or limericks or something instead.

I haven't written anything since I posted Vote Early, Vote Often whilst on our roadtrip home (which I feel was weirdly appropriate for a Supernatural fic), so fire away.

Things I learned while watching the entirety of Fringe this week:

1) I really really really missed having a scifi TV show. Forensic procedurals are fun and science-y, but I missed having my brain bent into weird shapes, even if the show's "science" is 90% ridiculous.

2) Gerard Way and Walter Bishop have the same taste in obscure cereal products. Who knew?

3) [livejournal.com profile] inmyriadbits is a bad influence, because it's only 2 weeks into the year and I have already marathoned all of Generation Kill, Lie to Me, and Fringe. That's 60+ hours of TV, y'all, and things are only going to get worse now that we discovered my computer can hook up to our pretty & enormous new TV. *facepalm*

4) In an episode that aired two days before Star Trek was released in the US, the show spoiled the movie's plot in a manner that I doubt anyone took seriously at the time. GEEK WIN.

My dearest lady friend, I'm not sure if you've seen this, but if you haven't its good brain food: http://nkjemisin.com/2010/01/why-i-think-racefail-was-the-bestest-thing-evar-for-sff/

Miss you already - I'm coming to town on April 17th for a rugby game. Goddamn that's far away.

Hey, you! *hugs* Sorry for the long-delayed response, I've only been spot-checking LJ for the last few weeks. That was an interesting essay, and I agree completely - you know how much I love arguing with people, but you can only change the way people think by actually talking about things. Sometimes, that leads to internet-wide fanwank, but a little verbal unpleasantness is a small price to pay for change.

Noooooo. I am totally going to have to come up and see you before then! When are the best days to visit with your schedule, again?
