butterflyItem One: So, a company named Six Apart bought LJ. Well, as long as they don't make me take down any content, I'm good with it.
Item Two: I had an odd experience the other night at work. Somehow, I got onto the subject of suicide with one of my managers. She apparently has a friend who has a brother who has been trying to kill himself. Actually, what he was doing sounded like SI, which is often accompanied by suicidal thoughts, but not always. It's definitely not the same thing, though. I was so nonplussed by getting a mini 'this is what suicidal people are like' lecture from said manager to point that out, though.
Plus, people get weird when you mention that you've had moments of serious suicidal inclination as well as a history in self-injury, so you'd actually know a little more than someone who has a friend's brother.
Item Three: Having a beta during the process of writing is really neat. I finally understand all those people who rave about how they couldn't have done ___ without their beta.
Item Four: Hercules: the Legendary Journeys may, in fact, be the cheesiest show in existence. I've started watching it from the beginning (via netflix, of course) and wow. The cheese. This show beats out Smallville. And it has so many wonderfully bad extras. I didn't know there were that many bad actors in the world. Michael Hurst is very cool, though. He's always the most interesting thing on the screen. Even when he isn't there.
Item Five: The dates for the 2005 VividCon are set. I've already marked it on my calendar. I'm eagerly waiting for registration to open up.
Item Six: And still more people keep flooding into the Stargate fandom. I'm starting to feel Old Skool and I saw my first episode in May of 2004, people. It's incredibly cool. More people should succumb to Stargate as it utterly rules.
Item Seven:
List of Amusing Things
Monty Python, comedy group
Mel Brooks, films of
Terry Pratchett, books of
Jon Stewart, fake journalist
Coupling, British tv
