| AHHHHHHH!!!! Mininova's closing down!!!! I know there are other torrent sites, but mininova's the best. It was my go-to. I'm one crazy pirate admiral, and you just sunk the best ship in my fleet. FUCK! | |

| I'd say it's the my least favourite moment on Heroes, but that honour still goes to last year's "Eclipse Pt 2" where a certain psychopath (played by one of my current obsessions) killed another pscyhopath (played by my other current obsession) for NO GODDAMN REASON. UGH. But this; wow. WHY?! My poor dad. I don't think he knows how to handle me; at least I keep him amused with my many fangirl emotions.
Jesus. Why. WHY?

| XANDER: But... It's just that it's buggin' me, this 'cool' thing. I mean, what is it? How do you get it? Who doesn't have it? And who decides who doesn't have it? What is the essence of cool?
OZ: Not sure.
XANDER: I mean, you yourself, Oz, are considered more or less cool. Why is that?
OZ: Am I?
XANDER: Is it about the talking? You know, the way you tend to express yourself in short, noncommittal phrases?
OZ: Could be. | |

| I fucking refuse. I flat out refuse.
I know I'm a scientist, and normally, I'm very much "Tell Me Everything."
But when it comes to X-Ray Crystallography, this is honest to god the extent to which I want to know about it:
Protein Crystal + X-RAY -> MAGIC --> Diffraction Pattern --> MAGIC--> MAGIC --> MAGIC--> Voila! Digital Protein Structure.
Don't spoil the magic for me tomorrow, 4th year course. I really don't want to know. Take a page out Creation Science, just this once, and let me accept "PRESTO!" as an answer.
----------------
Also, I did an icon cleanse. Got rid of a whole bunch and uploaded a whole bunch more. Whatdya think. Any suggestions? | |

| I'ma go out and party tonight with my nerdy science friends. I'm sick of my own excuses. Just for a couple of hours, though. And I'm not drinking since I'm gonna get over this cold, dammit! And I'ma balance out this nerdfest with some geek. I'm dragging aelysian along. Between the two of us, there's plenty of geek to go around. But yay! Pretty tops and mascara. Do you know how long it's been since I wore mascara? Months. No lie. Maybe I wont look like the re-animated dead in pics. :) Cheers. Also, look at the sex I just made and added to my sidebar.  | |

| lmfao Over here at Whedonesque, Joss posts an open letter about how he will purchase the Terminator Franchise. (Ctrl+c, ctrl+p) "An Open Letter to the Terminator Owners. From a Very Important Hollywood Mogul
Dear Sirs/Ma'ams,
I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where 'hood' was capitalized 'cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the 'grapevine' that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I will write a check TODAY for $10,000, and viola! Terminator off your hands.
No, you didn't miscount. That's four -- FOUR! -- zeroes after that one. That's to show you I mean business. And I mean show business. Nikki Finke says the Terminator concept is played. Well, here's what I have to say to Nikki Finke: you are a fine journalist and please don't ever notice me. The Terminator story is as formative and important in our culture -- and my pretend play -- as any I can think of. It's far from over. And before you Terminator-Owners (I have trouble remembering names) rush to cash that sweet cheque, let me give you a taste of what I could do with that franchise:
1) Terminator... of the Rings! Yeah, what if he time-travelled TOO far... back to when there was dragons and wizards? (I think it was the Dark Ages.) Hasta La Vista, Boramir! Cool, huh? "Now you gonna be Gandalf the Red!" RRRRIP! But then he totally helps, because he's a cyborg and he doesn't give a s#&% about the ring -- it has no power over him! And he can carry it AND Frodo AND Sam AND f@%& up some orcs while he's doing it. This stuff just comes to me. I mean it. (I will also offer $10,000 for the Lord of the Rings franchise).
2) More Glau. Hey. There's a reason they're called "Summer" movies.
3) Can you say... musical? Well don't. Even I know that's an awful idea.
4) Christian Bale's John Connor will get a throat lozenge. This will also help his Batwork (ten grand for that franchise too, btw.)
5) More porn. John Connor never told Kyle Reese this, but his main objective in going to the past was to get some. What if there's a lot of future-babies that have to be made? Cue wah-wah pedal guitar -- and dollar signs!
6) The movies will stop getting less cool.
Okay. There's more -- this brain don't quit! (though it has occasionally been fired) -- but I think you get my drift. I really believe the Terminator franchise has only begun to plumb the depths of questioning the human condition during awesome stunts, and I'd like to shepherd it through the next phase. The money is there, but more importantly, the heart is there. But more importantly, money. Think about it. End this bloody bidding war before it begins, and put the Terminator in the hands of someone who watched the first one more than any other movie in college, including "Song of Norway" (no current franchise offer). Sincerely, Joss Whedon."
God, I love that man.
Man, I love that god. | |

| A video like this makes me want to punch through my computer screen.
I can't get into rant mode right now, but shorthand: if you believe in creation "science", you might want to defriend me. Because every once in a while I'm going to say something that will probably offend you. Things like "I think of myself to be a very tolerant individual, but I have an incredibly low tolerance for bullshit." See, see what I did right there? I insulted Creationism. And I'll do it again. So, yeah, just letting you know.

| This is by far my favourite .gif that I have ever made. THANK YOU to the genius who thought to shoot this scene from Janice's POV. Also, thank you ZQ. Thank you very much.  It just plays over and over and over... | |

| I really don't want to post too much about it because I'm watching it tomorrow, along with the rest of Season 2, because aelysian fails hard and has fallen behind. Just kidding, girl. Any excuse to watch Dollhouse, and especially "Vows" and "Belonging" again is 5 by 5. Just...wasn't it so good? Like, beautiful and haunting and horrible and wonderful and just WOW? It's the first episode of Dollhouse I cried while watching! *sighs* Don't make me care about this show too much. Please. I couldn't take it if it started to really hit it's stride only to be yanked. Not cool, universe. Not cool. | |

| This is a hilarious article from cracked.com, a website mostly aimed towards college males. So keep that in mind when they're tearing down the concept of writing smutty fanfic. It's pretty funny, and the sad thing is it's so true about so many poorly written fics I've read. Enjoy. The best is the end: " When In Doubt, Just Write About Two Bodies Fucking That’s honestly all people want. It’s both the most important and the only essential part of Erotic Fiction. Sample:  " | |

| Just posted a mess of Star Trek 2009 gifs over at my recently revamped media journal. Go here if you wanna check them out. Preview:  | |

| Everyone gives all the love to "Summer Nights," but I've always adored this song.
It's like the Ballad of the Trampy Chick.
I love Every.
Single.
Line.
Especially the last one.
