True Facts:

They are paving my street today, which means we have to walk to the car. I am very enthused about this because it reminds me of Chicago. Unfortunately, I dropped my coffee press so I am un-caffeinated. Fuck My Life.

Topic: yesterday I did my taxes! I'm getting a bunch of tax money back apparently because I forgot all about Bush's rebate check.

So I guess I shouldn't whine about the fifteen bucks to buy myself a new coffee press.

If We Ran Battlestar Galactica, a collection of sci-fi authors responses to the finale. Well, Paul Cornell liked it, guys! Suck on that stick. I tend to agree with most of them in that I think to get a different (better) ending you would have to go back and re-write most of season three and four.



This new Doctor Who episode: looks great. Hope it doesn't suck.

As a notice, I'm moving this journal over to Dreamwidth at opening on April 30th. I guess that gives me impetus to finish designing the new layout. I hope to see a lot of you there.

Why the move?

Dreamwidth is planning on allying themselves with OTW to be fandom-safe space as well as adding a bunch of features to make it easier to run fandom communities.

Whoever Chris Roberson is, it's nice to see him continue the fine tradition of wholeheartedly bitching about the finale for several paragraphs with absolutely no clue or concept of what he would've liked to see instead.

Chris is a dear friend of mine (and an award-winning science fiction and fantasy author) and I'm sure if you asked him to elaborate on such, he would, but SF Signal's Mind Meld isn't exactly a place to expound for that long upon it. You can go visit his blog if you'd like to start something, he posted about it today.

Man, don't tell me people on the internet are REAL. It's harder to be bitchily dismissive of them. :(

FYI: What I Would Have Done by Chris Roberson.

Chris Roberson and I have been ganging up on Paul over on FB about it. (Or maybe he is ganging up on us?) Either way, I am amused.

I sent Paul an appreciative twitter! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT.
