putting aside all debate on whether it lacked the spirit of thought-provoking-ness of the Roddenberry era (i personally save most of my thought-provoking moments with media for in-home quiet consumption, not for any cinema outside the arthouse), or whether it accomplished what it meant to simply by breathing new life back into the series, garnering new fans who will hopefully then go check out the source material the way Romeo + Juliet did, etc etc... just answer me this. who all thinks the new Trek movie has (aside from reminding us why we go see movies in the theater anymore: it was just plain FUN!!!) has reignited (in a whole new, angsty way) the first ever and ultimate slashy triangle of Kirk/Spock/Bones?! methinks we'll be seeing a lot of new slashfiction from those boys, LOL. ( Read more... )TOS was my first fandom, starting when i was three, to the point where i wouldn't even watch TNG till this year. It will always be great to see the original id/superego/ego combo of the original crew together again...in any oddball alternate form. They at least got the cowboy-frontier flavor of the original that separates it from later series; the energy they lacked in a more settled and civilized galaxy. and FUN! did i mention fun?! (and hee, i spotted a blooper! *iz proud of herself for noticing a detail*) let the slashing begin!!! *goes to re-watch "Mind Meld"* Tags: dorkery, fandom, geekness, star trek

Part One: (Seattle Hockey Challenge '09.1!!!) Part Two: I forced myself to move on after thanking him again, and then hung around snapping pics for Rosenbaummedia and y'all. The security guys kept trying to move me along (not sure why since there were a lot less people there this year, what with the move to the new arena outside Seattle... Oh yeah, side note. The hockey challenge will be in the T-birds' new arena in Kent, WA from now on, rather than right inside Seattle's Key Arena. Which i find hilarious, since Michael played Lex who COULD have been a Kent if the damn family had treated him right, but that is only a sign of the hand of fate if you're a CLexhead or a real Smallville freak and he probably didn't even think about it). Anyway, they tried to move me a lot but I perservered and got as many pics as I could by the simple strategy of moving only two or three feet every time they shuttled me away. Michael looked up once and saw me snapping pics like a madwoman, and smiled and said (a bit incredulously perhaps), "How many pictures are you gonna take?" (*flail flail flail over the memory of his teasing expression*) I told him, "As many as I can; they're for Rosenbaummedia!" He said, "Well then, take some good ones!" (*FLAIL!!!* The man has so much charisma it should be illegal...or bottled and sold so we can take it home with us). ( Read more... )I spent the next twenty minutes torturing Lexi with a phone call full of juicy details about Michael's striptease and skating prowess, gushing like the fangirl i am around him, then i stopped in Seattle to see a childhood friend who's visiting the city, and managed not to drive into a ditch on the way home. Thus ends my account of this year's Seattle Hockey Challenge. See you next year...hopefully in person!!! My house is open to all y'all! I so need some other Rosenfans with me to share the squee! Lexi, you're coming this year if I have to abduct you. We will somehow figure out a way to get Michael to sling his arms around our shoulders for a menage a photo. I will unselfishly whore out the fact of my birthday if it will accomplish said mauling. I am cool that way. *** RE the pics: As I said, the bench shots during the game rawked, since the Seattle Hockey Challenge is being held in the T-birds' new arena. The old one, Key Arena in Seattle has glass that's all scarred up...but the new one has like, PRISTINE glass. I got some pretty decent pics i think, blur or no blur.

I'm sorry this took so long, folks, but my online access was all floopy today. Okay, so Seattle Hockey Challenge 09, part one. I was DETERMINED to actually tell Michael some of the things i MEANT to tell him last year, but (as you know if you read my account from last year) totally forgot because i was in such a state of utter squee that i forgot how to make sounds in any recognizable language. So I wrote a letter this year; from me, but also ostensibly from a lot of you that I know share my sentiments about Our Boy, since I felt i had a duty to be there for all of you who could not. I hope no one minds that i wrote in a way that said I was speaking for those not present; I tried my best in the letter to be respectful and yet still get across our deep admiration for Michael's work and generosity. I apologize to everyone whose name isn't on the post-script...I was trying to remember names at the last minute as I feverishly scribbled and re-wrote the letter while sitting on the floor waiting for Michael to arrive. I'll do better next year, and even pass on letters, messages, etc if you want. Likewise, if anyone's upset that I put their name on there and thus words into their mouths, I apologize for that as well. I was trying to be thorough and carry our spirit to Michael so he knew we love him. I figure a letter given hand to hand has a better chance of being read than one sent through a fan club. the letter: ( Dear )Okay...so the rundown is, I didn't want to be late this year and spend a million years in line, since I could call Lexi ( ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lexalicious70), my Michael-in-Seattle partner in crime from last year, and the wonderful woman we all love in here), but could no longer up the squee by calling Herohunter as well as she's all, like, in Brazil now and stuff, god love her. Which might have been good, as this time around I was trying to keep my squee-factor down to a modicum until i actually SPOKE to Rosey. The upshot being that i ended up getting there three hours before signing and being FIRST IN LINE. ( Read more... )He is so damned GENIUNE!

Has anyone else seen this PS2 game called "Bully"? I could swear it's borrowed from stories of Lex's time at Excelsior. Bald scrawny younger kid at an elite prep school (with blue uniforms, no less) who is bullied and picked on and has to use his geniusville smarts and clever mischief-making abilities in order to survive. A bald kid who, when he has a skim of hair, appears to be a redhead. Sound familiar to anyone? just saying. i'm tempted to get the game just for that, though with the fact i don't have a PS2... still, i have one other game for PS2 (The X-Files: Resist Or Serve) should i ever choose to get one used or something, so that's one more reason to do so i guess. in other news, the damn blu-ray version of the first X-Files movie, "Fight The Future", has scenes they would never have even ADMITTED they filmed the first time around, for the DVD. kisses and Mulder picking up Scully and carrying her off to apartment 42, with no damned @#$%^&*! in evidence. i am NOT getting blu-ray for just one movie, though. DAMMIT! i REFUSE. yay for YouTube, i guess, and the kindly people who risk their accounts to put stuff like this on there for those of us who are unable to see it on our own time. on another fannish note, i was forced to watch a new ep of SV not this last week but the week before, and it hurt me. Stupid having to watch whatever the clients are watching while at work. Nearly killed me, hearing people still slandering Lex when he's not around to defend himself. And i'm not sure what was worse; seeing the Blahna again when i thought we'd finally gotten rid of her, hearing Clark tell Ollie "you can't blame the son for the sins of the father" and actually trying to sound saintly and like he follows the same belief, the filthy hypocrite (lukewarm and too late, Clark; very lame)...or just hearing yet another person call Lex 'that monster' without being able to kill the bastards for their temerity. though, hearing someone finally not-so-subtly out the boys yet again made me chortle. "Trouble in paradise? A lovers' tiff?" hee! canon, i see you showing some bendy tendencies! however, what's one positive (if bittersweet for so many reasons) note in the midst of so many evil, stomach-acid-churning ones? i mean, if they can admit it about Clark and Ollie, why not about Clark and Lex? and why do they have to make it CANON that Clark chose THE WRONG FREAKING GUY?! I wonder if Clark standing up for Lex in his own twisted (and lukewarm) way is a sign that he finally realizes that, if all too late. If he's finally starting to think reconsider his many mistakes... Or maybe the whole Lionel thing is proof that deep inside he never wants to give up on Lex entirely; especially knowing that Lex still wants to do the right thing? Or will Clark even get that, since his idea of right and wrong is still so damned black and white? Don't the writers realize that the traditional concept of Clark/Superman is not only dated but boring, and doesn't fit this Clark, with all he's seen and done? A Clark with shades of gray would be far more interesting and heroic (and he'd get there a lot faster with Lex's assistance, duh!)...not to mention seem a hell of a lot less holier-than-thou and self-blindingly stubborn. one can hope. you know, after all this time i almost fear attributing any deep thought or analysis to Clark, but maybe the stuff Lex said in the Fortress might actually have percolated through that thick skull and set Clarky to thinking for a damn change, instead of his usual strategy. Just run from emergency to emergency; don't think, don't an alyze; and if the emergencies never stop coming, maybe i'll never HAVE to think! this guy is swimming in so much guilt that he can't even face it. it almost makes me care again. Course knowing the one step fwd, two steps back writing of the character, that's likely too much to hope for, but ah well. hope springs eternal. why i still want to believe in Clark is beyond me, except that he is potentially the ONLY vehicle to healing my Lex. If only he'd stop HURTING him first! *takes a moment to beat her head on the wall in agony over bad timing and too young closeted heroes and crap like that* poor Lexi. She had to deal with my angry and frustrated text message over that episode last week. poor dear. i think i scared the people at work, that ep pissed me off so much. this is why i can't watch latter-day SV. meanwhile, in incidental notes from RL, i've learned that being forced into stores on sale days like Black Friday give me minor anxiety attacks. too many loud lemming-like swarms of people breathing my same air while waffling about buying decisions. argh. so...how's everyone doing?

i can't decide if this is more a case of fen with too much time on their hands, or some kind of subtly brilliant commentary on the weirdness of the ubiquitous 'netspeak'. i only knew some of these. some i didn't. like 'l33t' and 'roxorz'... but THEY SAID PRON AND PWNED! *iz happy* and, they said them the way i do; as words, not letters. hell, i use netspeakisms in phone conversations now, they're so useful. in other news, thanks to goth_clark, i now know to check my landlord's copy of 'the Advocate' for this quote by my boy DD (David Duchovny, aka Fox Mulder) Have you read any of the erotic gay fan fiction involving Fox Mulder and his X-Files nemesis Alex Krycek?"I never read it, but Nick Lea, who played Krycek, showed me this website with head-replacement pictures of him and me in various homosexual acts, looking at each other adoringly. We enjoyed that." hee! i love that the actors know we porn their characters and are okay with it. (or in the case of TW and MR, FEED it! *hearts MR*) Tags: dorkery, fandom, geekness, netspeak
