1. Holly has begun Nemesis, a sequel to her sexy Season-3 fic Cupidity.
You bet I'm reading it. You all should too.

sassangel started her first S/B fantasty AU, Eye of the Beholder. Fuck if I don't adore it. Damn her and
nautibitz, making me start to like that genre again. It helps that their fics don't read like a bad teen movie, but rather a more interesting teen novel.
You bet I'm reading it. You all should too.

Jul. 6th, 2003 01:11 pmGratuitous Mood Post. Again.

You know, a lot of the pairings I like in fandom start with at least one half of the couple trying to kill the other, or both trying to kill each other.
For example:
Blue Seed: Momiji & Kusanagi. He tries to kill her. Gets distracted by another, bigger evil guy. Things go down from there.
Inu Yasha: Inu Yasha & Kagome. She frees him from an eternal sleep spell and he tries to kill her for putting him there in the first place.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Buffy & Spike. Mutual attempted killing on both sides. Then six years of character development happen.
Dragon Ball Z: Vegita & Bulma. He nearly kills her multiple times while trying avidly to kill all her friends. Then he's her houseguest.
Gundam Wing: Heero & Relena. In the 1st episode he whipsers to her in broad daylight in a crowd full of people that he will murder her. Then she takes over the world and he changes his mind to "No, you're actually a cool chick after all. You get a pass."
Cowboy Bebop: Faye & Spike. She robs him blind and they nearly shoot each other several times. Then her getaway ship runs out of fuel.
Farscape: Aeryn & John. She wrestles him to the floor and nearly chokes him to death. It's the start of a beautiful relationship.
Even the ones that don't start out that way, have it sometime along the line... Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yuugi, Witch Hunter Robin. The only ones that don't really are Trigun, Escaflowne, and the X Files. But then again, Scully did shoot Mulder at least once.

I love Sundays. My do-nothing days.
Jul. 6th, 2003 01:47 pmYou know, I always thought Once Upon A December, from the soundtrack to Anastasia would be a fantastic 1st season Sailor Moon music video.
Anastasia was a cute litlte animated movie. I liked both the main characters quite a bit. John Cusak does sexy voice acting.
Dancing bears, painted wings
Things I almost remember
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December
Someone holds me safe and warm
horses prance through a silver storm
figures dancing gracefully
across my memory
Far away, long ago
Glowing dim as an amber
Things my heart used to know
once upon a December
Far away, long ago
glowing dim as an ember
Things my heart, used to know
things it yearns to remember
And a song someone sings
once upon a December

Jul. 6th, 2003 03:15 pmSometimes I get upset when I realize that there's people out there that I just can not agree with, whose basic world view is so profoundly different from my own that we simply will not mesh and I frequently want nothing more than to blast them off to Saturn, far away from me, my country, and all my descendants & their friends.
No, I'm not talking about other religions like Islam verus Christianity. No, what's currently got me in a huff is Christianity versus the US government.
I was reading an interesting article in today's Mercury newspaper about women in power, and how influencial women like Hilary Clinton and Martha Stewart have to be seen as "victims" for us to like them, and before that they're villified. It thought it was a good article. It didn't bring up Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewelet Packard, who I see as a "villain." I never had a villianous view of Hilary, but Fiorina got my dad and the parents of my classmates and half the people in the South Bay laid off, so she qualifies as villian status. It'd be the same if she was a man.
Anyway, the article talked about the increasing number of women in politics, and accpetance of their positions of power. They described off-hand an organization called Concerned Women For America, whom they quoted for "vowing" to bring "biblical principles into all levels of public policy."
I jumped out of my chair, leaned close over the table and read it again to make sure I hadn't misread. I would have thrown a rant right there if there'd been anyone around to hear it.
I hate the idea that there's organizations of 500,000 people whose statement of purpose is in direct opposition to everything eblazoned on the American Constitution and the life words and work of the people who founded a nation that I've been in love with practically since the I was old enough to say "It's a free country" and know what that meant. Which would have been approximately two years old.
I want to send them to Saturn. I want a big Send The Traitorous Freaks To Saturn Button, that I can press and feel at ease knowing that public institutions are gloriously free of God's interference.
Every once in a while I see something like this that sets me off. My parents mostly let me talk on and on when it happens and nod appropriately. I want them here so they can nod and agree with the Saturn Plan.

Once upon a december thought #2
Jul. 6th, 2003 05:16 pmI just had another idea about that short song from Anastasia. You could make a Buffy video to that. You could use Asylum!Buffy as a framing device, and keep flashing back from Normal Again hospital clips to the people and events in her life that she's tyring to "remember." That'd be a bittersweet video.
