Why is it that when important historical events are viewed through the lens of the internet and liberally flavoured with TVTropes, they become hilarious?
For instance, when looking at the split between the Roman Catholic church and the Orthodox church of the Byzantine Empire, it's much, much funnier to picture it as a flame war that grew out of hand on the forums and led to mutual bannination, followed by epic flouncing to separate sites, where the wankstorm continues to this day.
I think I'll be giggling about this all week.

Saw Cap today.
Jul. 26th, 2011 07:28 pmHoward Stark: even more proof that no matter what kind of a movie they're in, members of the Stark family will always be the best thing about it. Seriously. "Write that down!" Awesome.
Need fic nao, plz.
Damn good movie, though. Evans was an outstanding Cap, I love that they kept him a genuinely good man, and I look forward to the UST between him and Tony. Because it will be there. Also they'd better address the issue of Peggy, because damn if that ending didn't hit me pretty hard, even though I knew exactly what was going to happen to that plane.

Six years,
fangses. Dang, that's manly.
Um. Anyway, wow! Not only did I not have anything prepared, I was off on the actual date by two days. Fail.
At any rate, there is the promise of explosions and awesomeness in four years, and we've come out of today with a Tangled/DAO crossover. Things are looking up!

So I herd I liek internetz.
Jul. 9th, 2011 01:31 am...Wait, what?
At any rate, I don't know why the internet has decided that it loves rainbows, unicorns, cats, and any combination of the above, plus a whole lot of fabulosity.
But I do know that I love every second of the rainbow unicorns, the nyan cat farting rainbows and ...however you class the He-Man AMV, fabulously glorious video that it is.

Jun. 22nd, 2011 01:46 amOh my god, Garrus has the biggest mancrush on Thane ever, it's hilarious.
"Oh wow, a precise headshot with no collateral damage. This guy's good!"
And then when he sees him take out Nassana, you can practically hear his little turian heart fluttering in joy. His eyes even got all big and sparkly.
Also, Insanity is getting easier! Except for the goddamned krogan, christ.

Hi ho west train, awaaaay!
May. 24th, 2011 07:47 pmEr. Anyway, gone west, so huzzah, wave the tiny flags, etc.
Been gardening, which I actually do enjoy, when it's a teeny flower garden and not the monstrosity of a vegetable garden we usually have. Need to do more, though, when I get back.
Also, ME2 on Insanity takes so damn looooong, oh my god. A relatively simple fight against a Blue Suns Captain, on the way to rescue Oriana? Something like two hours, spent loading and reloading and reloading. On the other hand, she's most definitely dead, so go Garrus and Miranda.

Westward ho!
May. 18th, 2011 02:07 amHaven't been west in a while, so that's nice. Not the train I was expecting, but one I wanted, which is even better.
And then ME2 once I get back, because Portal 2 is beaten and I am not going back to the original Aperture Science labs for a long, long time. Even if PotaDOS was down there, it's still too damn creepy.

Thoughts on Arrival.
May. 13th, 2011 02:00 amAdmiral Hackett is just as awesome in person as he is giving faceless orders over the comm, and I kind of want him and Anderson to team up and go be awesome together.
On the other hand, Kire's a little worn-down after this mission, because not only did she get banged around kind of a lot, No Endor Holocaust was thoroughly, horrifically averted, and all at her hands. A necessary evil, to be sure, but still kind of ouchy.
All in all, an excellent bit of DLC! Once I got over Damn You Muscle Memory, anyway. I kept trying to pause gameplay by holding down the triggers, which works great for DA2! Not so much for ME2.

Stop. It's movie time.
May. 11th, 2011 06:20 pmGonna go see Thor with the fam, so yay!
Mmm, Captain Kirk's dad, and mmm, Natalie Portman. Woe, on the other hand, to the glaring absence of BRIAN BLESSED as Odin. That would have made the movie pretty much perfect, but as Nanny would say, cest lavvie.

Yay switcher!
Apr. 17th, 2011 03:06 amWhich is to say, yay switcher because I'm the brakeman and not the boss, it looks to be a good crew, and I'll be home by five-ish!
...All the better to write the Fenris-ribbon bit that might just correspond to the stuff I wrote last night, goddamn it. The mental images, they are very hot and will not get out of my freaking head.

On the road. Again.
Apr. 14th, 2011 06:20 pmWest this time, which is okay! Good train, good hoghead, and thanks to
fangses, more plot bunnies than I know what to do with.
Seriously, the one about the Arishok fight from Rob's POV will not leave me alone. Damn you, and all that.
Anyway, here's hoping I'm back at a decent hour tomorrow. That would be lovely. Fingers are crossed for a 24 hour trip!

Bit of fic.
Apr. 14th, 2011 12:55 amField: not actually conducive to me sleeping, especially when plot bunnies like this one latch on.
