    What made you think today?

    ----------- Twitter is 140 characters, not 160, but there's a site called tweetlonger (if I recall right) where one can make sort of miniblogs linked back to your twitter account. Yes, one may post pics and video and links. I have discovered some new friends there, some lovely Brits as a...

    Hensonville City 2011

    --------- Okay...Newsie...is that the last box of books? :news: Ungh...whoof... Uh, yes. Yes, it is! *startled, looks around at the stacked boxes in the living room* Well! I thought this apartment was, er...a bit larger than the last one? It IS. Wait 'til everything's unpacked. You'll see...

    The Doctor Who Thread

    ---------- Yeah, the "no big deal" angle has always been much better than how much of American TV deals with gender issues, which is almost always either stereotyping (Carson Kressly, anyone? gahh) or sappy-drama (AIDS death! oh noes!). I'll admit the constant...

    The... -wait fer it-... "What made you laugh today?" Thread

    ------------ A friend just shared this with me. HILARIOUS parody by Fry & Laurie of the interminable host of "Twilight Zone"-type shows which filled the '80s! Warning: a bit of language & comic violence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=juFTWhyC_Lc

    Kermie's Girl (ushy-gushy fanfic)

    ---------- Er...I was yelling a prompt for the awards chapter to actually arrive, Animal-style. :halo: Heh heh heh. CHAP-TER! CHAP-TER! Ah hah hah hah hah! -------------

    What made you think today?

    ------------ Today, the seemingly contrary posts about love from my twittercrush has me puzzled and wondering if I was the target of either the cynical or the romantic post. This guy seems to enjoy his enigma status, and runs if I edge too close. Can't tell yet if this is about his past hurts or...

    Happy Birthday Newsie!

    --------- Wow...thanks everyone! My day was sort of bleh, though it got better (bring out your dead!)... How lovely to pop in here and see people being so cheery for me! :news: Thank you all! Thanks especially Ru for that hilarious doggerel. ****! :news: Ahem. Yes, Newsie? Oh. Uhm. Great...

    Kermie's Girl (ushy-gushy fanfic)

    ---------- okay...137: Grinned at the "one old war-dog" quip. Still curious how Rory & Chad pulled off the Great Kitchen Switch. Maybe they owed a favor to a mom? Eileen's confrontation with the slavering hordes outside the restaurant was magnificently disdainful...and the author shows a...

    Hensonville City 2011

    ----------- Oooh cappuccino machine! Thanks guys! *runs to kitchen to start it* Rhonda: Good. Fill 'er up. *yawning, she waits with a travel mug while an endless stream of rats troop from the apartment lugging trunks, retro suitcases, and one Silver Bullet Airstream Trailer hitched to a...

    The Doctor Who Thread

    ------------- I never bother with the tv. A friend loaned me the first series, with the second on the way within a month. Prefer catching up on boxed sets anyway! Yeah, there's been some rancidly silly stuff but also some genuinely dramatic moments, and I love a good monster thriller, which most...

    Calendar Oneshots: December Delights.

    ------------- Very sweet. Ed, you are SUCH a sucker for a happy ending! ;) The image of Deadly and his love enjoying a crisp winter night from atop a lonely hill seems perfectly...er...draconian? Autumn doing her best Marilyn impression for you was both titillating and romantic (a difficult...

    DC Almost Alive and Well

    ------------ I don't really catch any of the references (well, okay, I know who the boy band is), but still very cute, lighthearted fun from a strictly non-Disneychannel-Muppet POV. Yay! --------------

    Kermie's Girl (ushy-gushy fanfic)

    ------------ Sheesh. I'm scarce for two weeks and looka wha happa... Catching up bit by bit: review for Ch. 136! I LOVE the entire first paragraph: how show biz maxims devolve (as most things do once they've been touched by a Muppet) into furry chaos... Scribbler playing CYA with judicious...

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    -------------- Getting over a bout of flu which had me dizzy and sucking zinc all day yesterday...feel almost Muppet today. (It's the felt tongue thing.) Watched about half the first season of Torchwood while sitting around in pjs feeling ugly. Mood lifted somewhat. Accused a twitterfriend...

    What made you think today?

    ----------- Also, if you like dystopian stories, try "We" by Zamyatin, inspired by the author's experience in the Russian Revolution. "Brave New World" is always good. And since you're a Rush fan, I assume you've read Rand's "Anthem"? (Not her best work, but a quick read.) China Mieville's...

    Hensonville City 2011

    ------------ Pink: Awww? Cow feel bad? *a very loud CRASH resounds through the apt as one flailing pink raggy thing is hurled into the living room bookshelf* SHUT IT, Pinky! :news: *poking a long pointed nose out of his room* Uhm. Everything all right? NO everything is NOT all right...

    The Doctor Who Thread

    ------------- Seriously? I thought McGann had that title hands down. *shrug* No accounting for taste... Have begun watching Torchwood. A bit silly, and very Doctor-Who-meets-X-Files, but fun. And hey, Cap'n Jack. Gotta love Jack! -------------

    When you need to rant...

    ----------- Here in Tucson a city official started a campaign to buyback guns, which the cops have agreed to collect...but there's also a county law which says any guns collected by cops for ANY reason MUST be resold, CANNOT be destroyed...lovely. Why not recycle them into something responsible...

    What song can you not get out of your head?

    The “What did you do today?” thread

    ------------- Hey Snowth: it's no big deal. Body scan takes all of 3 seconds, and didn't hurt a bit. :) Worked, goofed off playing a hashtag game with my crush on twitter, pondered story ideas, caught up here...now off to Target to snag some half-off chocolate! -------------
