hi, fandom!

aruanThe United Arab Emirates got together and pitched in for a gift upon my return to the desert: unblocking LJ's f'list function. Previously, I could access my journal and read other individual LJs, but that was it, and being caught up in constant housing drama, work, having a social life again and World of Warcraft since moving here meant I recognized maybe only every fifth costume at Dragon*Con, which just won't do at all. But I'm back, and in celebration caught up with as much as LJ would let me:
• the final episode of SGA began principal production on Monday. [sigh] I knew this one before Dragon*Con, and have mixed feelings about it. Maybe because I always thought fandom did it better, but having new canon made that possible
• apparently, the Jonas Brothers are just that big a deal [ETA: OMG Joe Jonas claims the first CD he ever bought was Britney]
• there will not be a Harry Potter Lexicon book (or a movie until July, WTF)
• good for Lindsay Lohan
• can't tell you how happy I was to see these photos
• one can only hope Ghostbusters III, should it materialize, is better than the new Indiana Jones flick. Bah!
• Lance Armstrong will ride the 2009 Tour de France. Get back to me on this one. Obviously, awesome that he feels up to it, but Contador deserves his chance, as do the other men of the Tour
• the less spandex-covered (surprisingly) Lance will be on the new season of Dancing with the Stars. If you had told me that at any point before the official press release came out, I would've laughed in your face
• really trying not to read the spoilers from those lucky enough to have seen a test screening of Half-Blood Prince. Which is silly because it's not like I don't know how it ends, right? And no use fuming about something I won't get to judge for myself until next July? Right?
• another Baz Luhrmann musical!
• new Oasis album next month!
• yay, Roger!
• The Dark Knight has been in the top five movies in terms of box office sales since its release two months ago. I've done my part (even if Eddie Olmos insists I haven't seen it until I've seen it in Imax)
Whoo, good to be back. Tomorrow it's mall skiing in Dubai and an encore viewing of Iron Man. Hopefully, the hubby won't take my swooning over Robert Downey Jr. personally.
