{ just stand over there against the wall. }

Rumours are abound that Diane Farr is pregnant. Nothing's been confirmed though so I'll wait until we know more for sure. Still, many yays if she is.

In other news, I am having a dismal week but apparently that's pretty much my own fault. Tonight I'm going out to Ba. Well, hopefully that's where I'm going. I don't really know. I'm supposed to be reading or working on that damn course but these days I'm apparently aiming for illiterate so we'll see how that goes.

Last night I watched Ghost World and was suitably melancholy. Thora Birch and Steve Buscemi were wonderful. I really quite liked it as a film. It was one of those days when I wish there was a commentary on the disc, though, because that would have made my day. Or, rather, night. Apparently I can't watch indie movies before 8pm which, seriously, what's with that?

I do have emails to write. Someone give me a kick up the back end, please, or I'll never start running.

In other news, I am so in love with Carolyn Barek. Yay, Annabella Sciorra!

{ I hate everything about you*. }

This post was brought to you by the letter RANT. It's The Unpopular Fandom-Opinions Meme. Let the de-friending commence. !!!

1) Oh, fuck off Rodney! Whilst I love David Hewlett (I really do) and whilst I also, to some extent, love Rodney, the above still stands. Gah.

1b) Fuck off John/Rodney shippers, too. I am sick of it. I'm not even convinced by the best stuff in that arena of fandom. This does not include Freedom's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose because that fic BROKE MY HEART.

2) At the same time: fuck off wincest.

3) Vanessa Ferlito may have been pretty cool but there's no way that you can look at her sub-par acting and then compare it to Anna Belknap's sub-par acting and decide that one betters the other. The problem here is not with the actresses, it's with the writing and the fact that FERLITO WAS GIVEN SHIT-ALL TO DO and thus decided to leave. Also, she's a New Yorker who had to live in California for a show that, again, was giving her shit-all to do. Leave off Belknap and leave off the Lindsay/Danny storyline. The two actors actually manage to have chemistry which is more than I can say for anyone paired with that brat-actor Caruso. And on top of that, don't fucking tell me Ferlito had more or less chemistry with anyone because let's go back to the first wankage in this point, shall we?

4) David Tennant is not that attractive, guys. Yes, okay, he's as big a fangirl as the rest of us most of the time and that makes him loveable but he's really not that cute.

5) CUT YOUR HAIR, KRUMHOLTZ. Either that or invest in a fucking hair-tie.

6) House bores me beyond belief these days. It's so formulaic. CSI does more with the four act structure than House does and it's a fucking crime show.

6b) Screw you anti-GSR. I know that GSR-shippers are FUCKING CRAZY but anti-GSR people are just as bad. The fucking thing is canon now - just ignore the crazy folk. Stop ranting about it. It happened. (And if you dare look at that scene and say it's not canon, I'll scream because there is nothing more obvious than that). I mean, I am a GSR-shipper who never ever wanted them to get together in canon (too much potential to fuck it up) but ok, yes, my squee-meter was up and also, even if was not a shipper, I'd still see it as canon because THAT IS WHAT IT IS.

6c) LAW AND ORDER (and all its spawn, even the ones that were fucking cut, bejebus) WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN EVERY OTHER CRIME SHOW IN EXISTENCE. It's twenty-thousand times smarter, slicker, more intriguing and just fucking better than CSI, all the CSI spawn and all the CSI-inspired spawn out there. It is better than my personal baby, Numb3rs. It is better than Criminal Minds. It is better than Cold Case and The Closer and The Shield. Accept that and life will get easier, I promise. Life will actually improve.

7) Supernatural is not as good as people make out that it is. It's good enough to watch week on week (unlike SOME shows and yes, I'm talking about you Miami) but it's winning on a premise that has nothing to do with what was promised in the first three episodes. Demons are not urban legends. If they were, Buffy would be described as a show about urban legends. YET THIS IS NOT THE CASE whatever. I seriously hope that they are more subtle with the family shit this year, and that Padalecki learns to act as well as Ackles. Also: it's not scary.

8) Firefly also was not all that good. I love it to fucking pieces but I can totally see why it was cut. On that note: fuck off Inara. (Not, by the way, Morena Baccarin, who is completely rocking my socks in Stargate right now. Rock on, girl! Who knew that you understood nuance?!)

9) Being elitist over watching US-made television doesn't make you a patriot, it makes you an idiot. I don't watch US TV because I am bowing to consumerism (which, even if I was, who the fuck gives a shit?) or because I hate Britain but because I happen to like the longer-than-6-fucking episode season arcs, I am enamoured by the pretty people and fairly-good writing. British writing is only good if it's from the BBC. That said, people need to quit whinging about Spooks because it's better than nearly everything else that I watch.

10) FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SHINY, SG-1 DOES NOT NEED AN 11th SEASON.

* I don't really hate everything about you. And everything I've talked about here, I actually love. Well, apart from House. [The only way I could be induced into watching that show again is if they gave Cuddy something to do.] Anyway, what I'm saying is that if I actually hated these shows, I wouldn't bother to watch and fangirl. If these comments got anyone's underwear so far in a twist that they couldn't breathe, feel free to defriend, mostly because I think that would actually be a pretty stupid reaction. I figure we can have differing opinions and still be friends. If you don't agree, sorry.

Dude. Have a sense of humour. Or, at least, irony.

eta: 11) Judging a series and deciding to hate it on principle JUST FROM SPOILERS is the stupidest thing in fandom. It really is. Why the hell are you writing off a series just because a new character has been added, or an old one has been taken away? You have no idea whether or not you're going to like something until you've seen it and if you go in with your bitch face on, you're likely to come out with it STILL THERE. Give them a fucking chance before you start to have a barmy. The point of spoilers is to induce the happy. If it doesn't, stop reading them. Or at the very least: USE A CUT.

{ verse in glass boxes. }

So. Weird request. Pimp me poetry, please.

I'm not talking about published stuff, I'm talking about poetry that is published by fanfic writers online. Someone somewhere must know of some decent verse. I'm yenning for it.
