- must do work.

- have written FOUR articles this morning, including one on Science Fiction Fashion. Yes, oh yes. My life is rad.

- have to do LJ Idol post.

- registered for WriterCon, although the logistics of that (is Patty coming with? is Kali going so we can do an awesome panel on writing collaboratively?) are not remotely settled, nor do they need to be right now. But hey, I can see my friends in Minneapolis!

- Prop 8 and the other anti-gay ballot measures -- really bad, and I'll have more to say later -- but here's the thing, it sucks, but I DON'T FEEL AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY. That's what Obama in the White House means to me.

- Hey, there are still tickets for the Sandman/CBLDF benefit on Saturday. Come on, you know you want to see me play both Desire and Delirium. You do. You really, really do.

- All the coat drama has finally resolved, AND I got paid today, which means, oh hey, time to bring it to a tailor!

- Firefly. We've finally started watching. Gods is Mal hot.

- Hey, why hasn't anyone written me James Bond/Jack Harkness crossover fic? Huh?

- Registered for Yuletide.

- Actually registering for the fencing tournament today, and possibly/presumably getting my saber and paying for my dagger and bayonet blades. The bayonet thing is still making me laugh darkly. It's like "how to be the most oddly useful resource to random fiction writers FOREVER."

- Behind on email, AGAIN.

- Totally going down to DC for the inauguration.

- Alison visits this weekend!

There is a bond/harkness(bourne) xover out there. I *think* it was recced in tw_house? If not, try ficfinders.

britgeekgrrl wrote a great one called The Harkness Supremacy, starring James Bond, Jason Bourne, and Jack Harkness.

[iamradar.livejournal.com]

It's called The Harkness Supremacy, written by britgeekgrrl.

- Firefly. We've finally started watching. Gods is Mal hot.

For the record, you'd look hot dressed as Mal.

I am afraid of the reaction to Prop 8, mostly because it's California, and we tend to be ahead of the curve.

Obama in the White House does give me hope, though.

[rm.livejournal.com]

For the record, already planning it. ;)

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Oh I love Firefly. I used to like Kaylee the best but now my favorite character is Inara. I thought Simon was a lot more <3 than Mal. : P

[rm.livejournal.com]

I think Simon's very, VERY pretty to look at, and want to read lots of Mal/Simon right now. But I bet Mal would be a better fuck.

[capulet-rose.livejournal.com]

<3<3<3 Firefly. I can see you rocking the Browncoat look.

[brightflashes.livejournal.com]

Well, now that you put it that way I can't argue with that!

Shiny :) Oh, and I've got some pre-Who!Jack/Inara porn ;) And some in progress Torchwood/FF gen-ish.

[laufeyette.livejournal.com]

Firefly FTW. Jayne was always the most fascinating to me for some reason. I've never read a TW/FF crossover, but I can easily picture Jack slotting into that universe.

When I heard Obama include "...gay, straight..." in his speech, I nearly cried. McCain never would have said that in a million years, would he?

[fleur.livejournal.com]

You're coming to Minneapolis?! Tell me it's not in the dead of winter. I'd like it if you liked it here. :)

The last couple of eps that were never aired I think are a couple of my favorites! And, nudity!

[rm.livejournal.com]

Nope. End of July.

[fleur.livejournal.com]

Ooo .. good time .. lots of theater and art festivals going on.

[fleur.livejournal.com]

I thought the same thing!!

[schpahky.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[tommx.livejournal.com]

Ha, I knew it!

[tommx.livejournal.com]

Mal probably would be all about grudge fucks given his issues with the war.

[kathrynrose.livejournal.com]

Firefly! Now I get to watch you discover one of my favorite series for a change. :)

:) Thanks for saying this - there's a whole range of reactions to this combo on my friendslist and I'm at all places in the tensions depending on which one I'm reading.

[hmrpotter.livejournal.com]

If I were in your area, I would come see your play. :o)

And I would really like to start watching Firefly, but I don't know if I can afford to get sucked into another huge fandom (because Harry Potter, Twilight, Supernatural and now True Blood take up entirely way too much of my time...not that I'm complaining!)

And yes, Mal is hot. He was even hot when I first saw him play Joey Buchanan on One Life To Live about a million years ago, when I was actually hooked on soaps.

[hmrpotter.livejournal.com]

My friends and I were saying the same thing today at lunch. They were re-playing that part of his speech on CNN and we all started crying again. That speech was brilliant.

[marchek.livejournal.com]

Yeah tailor!

I’m glad you’re enjoying Firefly. Mal is hot but Simon is more my taste. I think my Doctor coat with a few modifications might work for cosplaying Zoe if I felt so inclined. However, I do still plan on trying to put together a River-esque ensemble from this episode (http://still-flying.net/images/safe/index.php?page=3) for the December Barn just to amuse myself.

[mobobocita.livejournal.com]

Yay Firefly!!

To show my dorkdom, my car is MAL and the girl's is INARA. *grin*

[stef-tm.livejournal.com]

Be glad you don't live in Oakland, CA. There were several physical attacks on GLBT people prior to the election.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Really?!?! Jesus. I mean, I've experienced that stuff, but like 15 years ago. I mean i did see the video that woman shot when the protestors started hassling her....

[stef-tm.livejournal.com]

Sadly, yes.

Also, I didn't mean to sound like a snarky asshat; I'm just steamed.
I'm probably also going to get flamed big time when I post today; the demographic breakdown shows that people of color (not including Latinos) voted overwhelming for Prop 8 (68%).

The GLBT community must reach out to this demographic and stop ignoring them.

[thunderemerald.livejournal.com]

MAL.

MAL MAL MAL MAL.

That is all.

[miep.livejournal.com]

oh excellent! and you can meet the small one. and I won't let it puke on you.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Babies do not cause me fear. Your dog might be another issue.

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

I so wish I was there for the Sandman thing.

[sinonmybody.livejournal.com]

can't wait to see it! :P

when/where/how do you get tickets for the inaguration? or is it a show-up thing? i think we'll do it too.

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Whee! :D

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

Mal is awesome. :D

I wish I could come to the Sandman reading! I keep seeing it pimped on Neil's blog and sighing. Ah well. Have fun!

Prop 8 etc - yeah. Sucks. Sorry, haven't got much else to say. I was sadly surprised there.

[xpioti.livejournal.com]

Give me a shout around inauguration time; I live 15 minutes from a Metro station. :)

[nekosensei.livejournal.com]

I managed to get tickets for the election night rally in Grant Park, and let me tell you that that was awesome. I think I'm going to take a pass on the inauguration though. Grant Park was a zoo. DC is probably going to be even worse.
