Asylum

( My thoughts )

My cousin Frosty was put to sleep this past weekend. *sniff* He was a cute little dog. I spent much time in CT cuddling with him. He was having trouble with doing his business, and it turns out he had a tumor. They found it Saturday, so he had to be put to sleep (he was miserable, poor thing).

Go. Read.

You all have to read this.

paperbkryter's evaluation of the current Clark/Lex situation, and why blaming Clark makes no sense. Folks. Brilliant. Read. (Keep in mind Asylum spoilers for those who haven't watched yet.) This isn't about blaming Lex every time you turn around or blaming Clark. This is about facing facts and looking objectively at what has happened as tragic, but ultimately inevitable because of wheels set in motion a couple of years ago.

So, what are Scruples?

I'm not a part of the Harry Potter fandom, but I've been hearing about this fandom_scruples thing for several days now.

So I wandered over and took a look just to see.

My opinion:

In the United States of America, first ammendment rights protect Freedom of Speech.

NC-17 fanfic (graphic depictions of sexual acts) are not much different than your standard trashy romance novel.

Therefore, I will place a password code on my NC-17 fanfic when bookstores place a padlock and an age verification system is installed on the section of the bookstore containing books depicting graphic sexual acts.

Rating systems on fanfiction are purely voluntary. Ratings are required for movies and video games (and sometimes music) for mass distribution, but guess what folks! That's not required for books. Yes, some will be sectioned out for purely adult content, but throw in a plot and it can be housed on the shelf next to the Bible.

If we put an NC-17 label on a fic, we've done our part. We're appropriately taking the opportunity to warn audiences about content (because it is very widely realized in fanfic communities that the NC-17 doesn't refer to violence).

If you can't take the time to set up a Net Nanny, then don't try to make me set up passwords and locks. You are responsible for what you and your child view. Stop being a lazy ass and start being a parent and responsible.

Thank you and have a nice day.

O.C. commentary

Regarding last night's show (and these are so minor as to not require cut tags):

Seth is still my love.

Summer is the best rich bitch on TV since Dynasty.

And I've somehow started to love Luke.

*runs for cover*

Psychotic

I'm still at work. It's 6:20 pm, and I'm still at work.

*fist meets wall*

4:30 - "Heather, we need you to stay just a *few* minutes late. Not much. Just to finish up this presentation leave-behind."

5:30 - "We're almost done with the final revisions. It'll be done shortly."

5:45 - "Thanks for making those revisions! Oh, wait, sorry, we forgot to tell you this needs to be bound tonight, with special covers and extraspecial formatting that you could have worked on during all that time you were waiting on us. Sorry!"

5:50 - "Oooops! We have more changes! Hold off on that binding until we're done!"

6:22 - *sound of crickets chirping as Heather sits at desk and waits*

Damn!

My heart can't take it this many times this week.

I just jumped out of my chair screaming. Then I licked the computer screen.

(You may think I'm joking, but the drool marks say I'm not.)

Kryptonsite

Images from next week's ep. Folks, DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK TO THE IMAGES AT K-SITE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED!!!!!! Craig doesn't have a single one posted on the main page, cause he's the fab. But let me warn you, first image? Had me in the floor.

THis folks, is why I tune in. *G*
