sundries: "baby, your fandom has problems" edition

[rm]

Subject line: What Patty said when we watched the video of Gareth David-Lloyd riding a mechanical sheep. Video from dr_is_in. There are also stills of the thing over on the Casimir Effect website.

The story of the pilots who overshot Minneapolis gets weirder. They say they weren't arguing and weren't sleeping, but had gotten involved in a covo and hadn't heard the radio. So what they hell were they doing? Arguing about healthcare reform? fucking? I am confused.

Tonight we are going to see Where the Wild Things Are.

Heard back from the Center for Fiction Writing. I'll be going in next week to settle on space and stuff.

Our wireless router, which has never worked wirelessly, suddenly is. Internet in bed!

Because we both come from fandom, Patty and I call each other OTBaby -- like OTP (One True Pairing) but with the fact that we call each other "baby" among other things. So we just ordered matching OTBaby necklaces from Wyrding Studios.

CNN has more details on the girl who doesn't know who she is including another picture and more evidence of possible fanishness. Please contact the authorities if you have information. I know there are at least two theories going around fandom about who she is -- someone needs to make the call.

More as it happens.

I think even "positive" is debatable (although I've now gone cold turkey on the meanie parts of the Internet), but man if there's one thing being a professional performer does it makes it really hard for your brain to differentiate between good and bad attention: it either confirms the shitty instincts you've always had in that regard or slowly erodes your good ones.

Don't take this badly (I'm sure you won't) but this is very much like dogs. Many dogs (including mine) love to be scolded, because wow, excitement! attention! mom's barking!!!
