One of the characters in the Korean drama I'm watching just started matter-of-factly explaining how their fans write this thing called fanfic which usually is about a love triangle between him and the other two guys in his idol group.

And then there's a visualization:



On another note, I fared well through the bit of snow we received. (It was fun, but I'm glad this kind of snow isn't a regular occurrence here in DC.) I stayed in Friday, but I went out Saturday evening to meet up with one of my mom's coworkers who was up here for a conference. I had to walk the half mile to the metro station, but it wasn't that bad. It was kind of fun to walk in the streets with everyone else. We met up in Chinatown and then ended up having dinner at a hotel restaurant. I had a very delicious French onion soup. I don't mind walking, but it will be nice when buses start working like normal again. Though I heard that we're supposed to be having more snow tomorrow.

Just wanted to let y'all know that Pacabel came home yesterday. He's been doing well. Very clingy to me, like when I came home after being gone for 3 weeks. He's very cheerful otherwise and you would never guess he had surgery a week ago. He's on can food only for a week or so and then he gets the expensive dry food for the rest of his life.

Thanks to damalur for bringing this to my attention. Story taken from the Hollywood Reporter.

Snagged from Foreign Policy's blog, Passport, here's a video of Pat Robertson explaining how the earthquake is Haiti's fault because they made a pact with the devil. "True story."




On a different note, does any one have or know where to find a "now you know" icon? I really want to have one now.

As lila_blue_b can attest, I am still alive. I've been scanning LJ while in Florida and will have to post something substantive after I get back to DC. I have an 8:45am flight on Saturday. Wonder what fun things TSA has thought up for us now after Christmas? I'm sure I'll find out. Hope y'all had a fantastic Winter Holiday and New Years!

Just found svmadelyn's Badfic Summary Mini-Ficathon for Stargate Atlantis and Smallville and now I really want one for Star Trek. And Merlin. Seriously. Someone should do this. Just not me because I suck at organizing and promoting things like this.

Any of my DC friends interested in seeing Invictus before the 16th? (Though it sounds like the 13th and 15th are taken.)

Or any of my Tampa friends (let's face it, lila_blue_b, you're my only Tampa friend that is active on LJ) interested in seeing Invictus after the 16th?

You know, with me?

This scene still amuses me, as well as the resulting interviews.

The more I see/read from David Hewlett, the more I enjoy the man.

( Click for slight randomness and a small rant. )

Are scenes of Arthur shirtless in bed going to be the norm for the rest of the season?

I won't complain. Promise.
