But Brandon Butler of the Association of Research Libraries has a tumblr. Hee. IT IS ABOUT FAIR USE YOU WANT TO READ IT YESSSS.

I ship his graphs with Kevin Smith's graphs yes I do.

Most of the time that I'm not just listening to the Pandora custom creepy-banjo-whispers station I get stuck on one song and just listen to that all day on repeat. Today's question: how many times can I listen to the Velvet Goldmine version of Give Me Danger on repeat before I stop enjoying it? MY GUESS IS A LOT.

( Really, really good gluten-free microwave yogurt cake )

I am seriously considering making three of these in a flat-bottomed pyrex container and frosting them to make a layer cake, because this is waaay good enough to serve to someone who's not even trying to avoid gluten, and also has an entirely reasonable, non-souffle-like cake texture even though it's made in the microwave. I am thinking of a jam or lemon-curd-based frosting.

Someone's made an Avengers fanvid to Friend by Flight of the Concords, right? That's out there, right? Or do I just want it to exist?

Help.

I done saw The Avengers the movie! It was pretty great! BUT FIRST I TALK ABOUT MOVIE VIOLENCE IN SPECIFIC SETTINGS.
( First cut to talk about how I DO NOT LIKE IT in general when specific kinds of cartoon violence happen in specific geographic areas. )

This means that the point at which I basically relaxed and accepted that I could in fact enjoy an action superhero movie romp was ( Joss Whedon <3 <3 )

( So what are the major ships, anyway? I imagine it will not be hard to find out. Also discusses, um, there are actually some warnings under a cut at the end so look at them? in a way that makes me love the characters. )

So that was a long-winded reaction post! Basically I loved it, and I was not expecting to at all. Yay.

( Warnings are also spoilers. )

The bad news is that my state will probably have an anti-gay-marriage amendment by morning. The good news is I love polling data anyway. I am trying to focus on things like the fact that there are hundreds and hundreds of people in even the most rural, right-wing counties who came to the polls to vote against it, which in a primary in a state like this requires specific effort.

And of course that my county smashed it five to one, but as usual, we fail to be the whole state.

ETA: I just want to tell you that the polling station at Montreat College came out essentially tied. You know, the place where Billy Graham (and his far more conservative son, Franklin Graham) live? Yeah, it's evenly split on the issue.

I have decided to stick my oar in the shipwar, smush names and all: hoo boy do I not ship Makorra. I do ship Borra a little if I have to choose sides on account of usually shipping awkward/awkward, but given the ages of everyone involved YES I KNOW I'M OLD I ship Korra/Adventure. Korra/Everything life has to offer! Korra/Awkward Teenage Makeouts With People She Will Not Marry One Day!

Or Korra/Punching Things. Admit it, everything's always going to be second in her heart to punching things.

My favorite thing about Korra is that she's bad at all emotions that aren't punching.

It's forty-five minutes after midnight and I am kept wide awake by the idea that there must be somewhere where the good Zuko/Katara is hiding on the internet. Seriously, is it a question of kids these days not posting on lj? Where is it I must read it augh. Everyone told me that there was a massive shipwar but the volume of fanfiction does not comply.

(For the record, I will ship anything that, one way or another, causes Zuko to have angst, which luckily is apparently everything in the WORLD. So long as it is also set at least five years after the close of series. YES I KNOW THIS WAS SEVERAL YEARS AGO I am just catching up now I am bad at fandom sometimes)
