in an effort to post something that is not mostly work- or music-related...

1. I think Henry Jenkins has an interesting point here, and I'm really pleased with the examples of White Collar, House MD, and Castle that he chose to illustrate his point.

2. *sigh* Wanted to go see Guster and Jukebox The Ghost tonight, but I'm still grumpy about LiveNation & HOB, so no. Not giving them my money.

3. I sorta love that JScahill won the Twitter Fight Club final round against Andrew Exum. The sockpuppet twitters of AbuMuqawamaPMC and ExumRangerBeard were clever and hilarious.

4. Anthony Shadid on Democracy Now this morning. I didn't have a chance to watch the TV interviews he'd done the past few days, so. I'm glad he's still going back, to stay the head of the Beirut bureau.

5. The we_pimpin Spring Fling fics were posted on Sunday! I decided to ration them: one per day instead of reading them all in a fit of gluttony. But then LJ started being wonky b/c of the DoS, and I got busy, so I have only read one, ONE of the fics.

6. LOL, random: for some reason my TV was set to one of the Spanish-language HBO station, so when I turned it on this evening, Avatar was on in Spanish. But it was at the point when they're speaking in the natives' language, so I couldn't really understand the audio, and I was even more confused by the subtitles being in Spanish. *facepalm*

1. That was an interesting read! Thanks for sharing. :)

5. I... did not ration. At all. SADFACE OF GLUTTONY.

Henry Jenkins always makes me stop and think, even if I don't agree with his opinions. Which I do here, mostly!

There's been so little motivation for me to write lately, and I know plenty of people are having problems/other reasons not to write, that I want to stretch out any and all fic that gets posted so there's not another dry spell.

That was an interesting read! And I mostly agree with his examples. The comments also brought up some very solid couples in TV-land. Thanks for the rec!

WHY OH WHY WON'T LJ LET US READ ALL THE RAY FIC? ;__;

:) I'll have to check out the comments - there weren't any when I first read the blog.

CockRay-blocked by LJ. NOT COOL. :(
