Is 11-year-old boy reicarnated WWII pilot? This is sort of unclear and boring at first, and then when you get about halfway through it, it's like "oh, well, yeah, that is a bit weird."

Did something really wanky happen on yuletide last night that the mods had to delete posts?

I'll add to this later. Have to bring the cat to the vet now. Oh cat. ETA: on cat -- she's getting fluids, blood and urine tests, a vitamin shot, her nails trimmed and x-rays. They think it's her liver. I'll know more later and yet more tomorrow.

Welsh rugby player comes out. [note: audio file, when I find a transcript, I'll link] This is slightly old news (a few days), but as you might imagine, if it's both about gay stuff and Wales, about 80-billion people link me to it. And it's good stuff. So hey! Also, in the land of shallow: I really do love the accent. (I do! Stop laughing!)

The holiday cards came. They look STUNNING. So those will start going out "soon."

OMG, Yuletide pinch hit while dealing with sick cat.

I watched Gattaca for the 80-billionth time last night. If you want to get me (or the lens through which I tend to view and get attracted to other media), watch that. No time to wax poetic about it today, but "I never saved anything for the way back." To think I once had a lover who said I only liked it because it was gay and well art directed; he was so afraid of me.

Los Alamos National Labs just accidentally blew up a building. I have the sudden urge to say that "dynamite is never the only option." Way to go, guys.

I bet it was this long, wanky post that went up pretty late last night, where this person was like "I just would like to suggest that for next year, the Yuletide madness doesn't start until after the deadline, and there should be some way of distinguishing the original assignments from pinch-hits/treats, because pinch hit/treats get to choose what story they want to write" and blah blah blah a bunch of stupid stuff I don't remember. I was highly tempted to comment and start some wank myself, but I resisted. At the time I saw it, it only had two comments, but I would be surprised if it didn't grow quickly.

Also: oh no, cat vet?

I saw that, and it was incredibly bitchy post about how some people had to SLAVE and RESEARCH and DO HARD WORK on their assignments and it wasn't going to be fair for people to like stories written as treats and madness. IT WASN'T FAIR!

Sorry, I couldn't help the capslock there. But yay for us, resisting the urge throw oil on the fire there last night.

I would have thrown oil. What asshats.

That post was clearly full of happiness and goodwill. Ugh.

Maybe it was the Anti-Yule Spirit, out to bring wank and misery to all! Like a creeping troll out of Icelandic tales, determined to sour the milk and tear up the sheep skins.
