So, I've been looking outside windows all day for any sign of wind, rain, doom, gloom, mayhem, hellfire - anything! Nothing. Beautiful, lightly breezy, sunny day and our alcohol and hurricane cupcakes sit untouched because we promised ourselves we'll save them for the, you know, hurricane which they've been advertising like the end of the world since Tuesday, and it's all just a little ridiculous at this point that there's nothing to do because the entire town is boarded up and fled north and there's no mail today, ergo no Star Trek DVDs.
It's really weird to read an article treating something that's so much a part of your life like a scientific discovery, explaining its workings and nuances and jargon and ooh, observe the native tribes as they gather to perform sacrificial rituals to their muse-gods. Participatory culture! I'm gonna use that one.
( My favorite quote from the piece. )
Also, I can't tell you how loudly I laughed at Backstreet fandom, the largest at the time for young people, being, according to the article, mostly male-written. Nick and Brian seducing young male fans! Bwah! And the WWTT - What Would They [the Boys] Think - task force? *cries with laughter* And I got myself an education on "Pon Farr." Seen the term, didn't know what it meant, but wow. What a lovely, ready-made plot device.
As far as fandom news, everyone seems all a-twitter with excitement over JC telling the Sydney Star Observer he'd kiss Justin as a publicity stunt. Accompanied by yet another for the inane quote gallery about their being brothers but things never having gone that far. Oh, boys. Very, very good looking ones, especially with that blue background in the So Fresh interview, but nonetheless.
Last night, the roommates and I all ordered a pint of ice cream each, delivered from Ben & Jerry's thank you, and ate them, round-robin fashion, standing in the kitchen. It was fabulous. Cooked tonight, pasta and sauce and watch out world, Martha Stewart has an heir. Also, Miranda just said we might as well drink and be merry now or let the goods languish. Enough for Staci and me. Booze!
Quote of the Day:
"I don't ever want to be ashamed of anything. I always wanna work on something that I can stand behind no matter how old I am or whatever what have you."
