Miss Cellaneous

I hear it's More Joy Day.

Of course, it's also the day where my desk lamp finally croaked juuust when I picked up the papers I need to prepare tomorrow morning's study group with two friends. So, right now, I am grumpily sitting at a computer shrouded in less-than-mysterious half-light, the latter coming from the one-two-seven candles I lit on top of the monitor.

I guess the for-once-good part is that I never got that flatscreen.

In more joyful news, sageness linked to an anonymous love meme, but when I read through it, I knew no one but her and Isis in it. The trouble is not so much me thinking, "Who the hell are these people?!" but the ones I do know--on my flist, in my fandom--being unlikely to venture there and start reading through all the comments. While I'm at it, ( why love memes are the only time when I think anonymous comments are awesome. )

Truth is, I'd totally host an anon love meme if I thought people would play. Hmm.

Also, speaking of such positive emotions, in her ficlet offer post, yahtzee62 wrote me a kick-ass Ugly Betty drabble featuring Hilda & Justin. ♥

Now, to the kitchen (it's where the tiles begin) table for aforementioned prep. Meh.

i updated my sga genderswitch post -- if you see me missing a favourite of yours, feel free to drop me a line, always.

a propos, you can imagine the point where i squeed when watching ugly betty: "canonical genderswitch! awesome!" of course, a second later, i went, "...or is it?" awesome, yes. but genderswitch (from the show writers)? i wondered about the classification issue while updating above entry, too; it's not always so clear-cut, or at the very least the "genderswitch" label just has different definitions to different people.

eta: forgot to mention that "has always been [gender x x/y]" stories, alternate universes, are also a different animal, and yet again, i included jenn's story (of a girl) -- same issues, different level; it's all in the meta: like modern art, such fanfiction relies on the perception of the reader, i.e. her or his background of both canon and fanon. the power and impact comes from that contrast/comparison rather than internal story developments.
