Wouldn't it be cool if someone found the Master's burnt skeleton and Brennan had to ID it?

I want to read a fic crossover with Bones and Doctor Who. I think this would make me very, very, happy.


(I saw Body Worlds today.)

I love your brain.

((knits it a cozy hat))

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Me too! I appreciate it even more after the BW exhibit.

((is this a hat made out of paper printed from fanfic?))

[mswyrr]

Me too! I appreciate it even more after the BW exhibit.

I've heard so much about that! You dug it?

I'm afraid my low tolerance for squicky things would keep me from enjoying it.

((Nay. 'Tis knit together of the vain imaginings of fangirls and boys the world over. The bright blue thread is composed entirely of light saber fight fantasies, the mauve is slash fiction, green is for good plotting and theme, yellow is the squee they never expected, and red is simple, glorious lust.))

I dug it! I wondered if I'd be grossed out, but I wasn't at all. I think because even though you know it's real, you still feel like what you're seeing is somehow divorced from reality. Except for the infanthood/reproduction room, which made my mother quite sad.

I highly recommend it. It's different from anything I've seen in a museum before and I thought it was a wonderful education tool. A very innovative and visual way of learning. I didn't come away with any huge new wealth of trivia*, but rather a more holistic appreciation of how intricate the body is, and how delicate. They don't want to turn all the viewers into biology majors, just help you appreciate your own insides a little more. I don't think it was explicitly intended, but it also made me feel very connected to the people around me, to see how we're all the same inside, even when we're different.


((I am thinking about metaquoting that description. Also, I would love that hat.))

Wow. An elegant sort of momento mori, then, not mere squick. That's... definitely something I would like to see, then.

((I am thinking about metaquoting that description. Also, I would love that hat.))

I want one too, now. If only we had the technology! ;)

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Ladies, we can build it. We have the technology. With two needles and some yarn, we have the capability to build the world's most recent hat.

[mswyrr]

Heh! Well, while I can crochet a mean line of stitches, I've never done nothin' with knitting needles.

Frankly, they're very pointy and I am afraid.

[mswyrr]

The hat kind of comes from my Soc class where I had to talk about fandom and BTVS a bit because I'm doing my paper on BTVS as a cultural object and this one girl thought the whole thing was totally pathetic and weird and I was thinking, "nonono. It's about story and pleasure! And how pleasure is good, how it's meaningful and valuable in all its myriad forms!"

It would be nice to be wear that sentiment as a hat. Or possibly a scarf. Necktie?

Underwear!

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

My underwear is quite sentimental. Especially the bright yellow and bright blue ones.

[mswyrr]

I'm pretty pragmatic toward my underwear. Ours is a marriage of convenience, not a friendship or a love match.

* trivia: Lance Armstrong's heart is 30% larger than the hearts of normal people. He was born with a large heart and exorcise increased it more.

[mswyrr]

Oooh! Trivia! I love trivia.

That is something I would have NEVER imagined. Wow.

((attempts to return the favor))

Uh....

Do you know that the origins of the word curmudgeon are unknown to us?

It's true. We know it appeared somewhere in the 1570s, but from whence it came is a mystery.

((waggles eyebrows))

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Why am I now thinking that the Doctor invented it, or was overheard saying it, in the 1570s? Damn television show!

[spikewriter]

It'd make me happy, too -- though I am steadfastly attempting to ignore any plot bunnies that might pop up in my brain.

[mswyrr]

I want to watch Pilgrim Detectives so much now.

Tell me, if it were real, would Katherine Hepburn's character get to threaten a perp by leaning in threateningly and saying that she could "peal him like a pear and God himself would call it justice"?

Because that would be awesome.

YES PLEASE

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I watched The Philadelphia Story and fell in love with Katherine Hepburn and James Stewart at the same time. And about the same amount.

Re: YES PLEASE

[mswyrr]

I love that movie so much. When they meet in the library and stroll back to her home talking! And that night, when he tells her that she's not cold, she's got hearth fires and holocausts banked down within her, and they're both so tall and tipsy and skinny and young and clever!

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Don't ignore them! Please, please indulge.

[sporkyadrasteia.livejournal.com]

Did you enjoy the exhibit? I went a couple years ago with my Anatomy class and I thought it was the coolest thing ever. :D

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. See a few comments up!
