Oh, What a Bleary-Eyed Morning...

Coming down off a mountain of tired today - I swear, if the afterlife contains any kind of option for meeting whatever higher powers decided on the female hormonal cycle and monthly bleeding as a good idea, that guy's the first one who's gonna hear it from me. ( Cut for hormonal ranting )

Finally got my Angel Season 5 box - damn, but didn't they go to town on the graphics? Schmancy. And what a relief to actually be able to view the episodes in widescreen again. TNT's pan-and-scan is something barely short of a crime, at best sort of a sad comedy of bad cropping.

On rewatch, "Convinction" feels very meta to me, about changing things from the inside. I almost doubt it was intentional at the time, but the idea of keeping one's evil clients happy... feels a little bit like a statement about the ME relationship with the WB. Huh.

Link of the moment: I can't find the exact one Toys and I were laughing at over morning coffee, but the Something Awful website (the front page of which devotes quite a lot of space to a review of the Sci-Fi movie Mansquito, which was cheesy, but more entertaining than it deserved to be) has a continuing feature of Photoshop-doctored classic comic book covers, like EC horror standards, war and romance comics with some hilariously politically incorrect text. Check out the first one here, another one here; other stuff can be found under the "Photoshop Phriday" link. Really juvenile. Beavis and Butt-Head-style giggle-worthy.

Now I should probably get some work done.

More Fun Than Complaining!

Okay, I've done enough whining for this week. Some positive things instead.

Swiped from tesla321, the LJ Drama Generator. Funniest. Randomizer. Ever. (Well, at least since the Random Surreality Generator or the one that searched your LJ and came up with something that looked like bogus fic entries. Those were awesome. ( LJ Drama )

I didn't do the secret fandom shame meme because I couldn't think of anything really fun and shameful, but... ( My Best Fandom Shames That I'm Not Really That Ashamed About, Because I Have Little Shame )

I'm sad that I didn't manage to collect my thoughts in time to do a big rec of writers for Fanfic Appreciation Week, but I still do want to thank everyone who recc'ed me. You guys really are the best, no joke. : )
