YouTube, YouTube, porn, and some things that I will probably regret saying

I've only ever watched one episode of Psych, but this video clip from the ComicCon panel amuses me greatly: ( Gus and Shawn's best man speeches for each other )

I've spent a good chunk of the last few days watching eskimokissproject's clips from Alles Was Zählt. I haven't watched a US soap opera in years, but now I remember how easy it is to get sucked in. Like, I am seriously considering doing some sort of German course to be able to watch full episodes someday.

Right now, though, I'm stuck in the doldrums where I really sort of want to hit Roman any time he's within 50 feet of Deniz, so maybe not.

I was in high school when the tragic and/or epic love affairs of Robin and Stone (the good girl and the street kid who has AIDS) and Brenda and Sonny (the... model? and the mobster) were the top-billed drama on General Hospital. Somewhere, I even have a copy of the tie-in book for Robin and Stone (cleverly titled something like "Robin's Diary"). I know for a fact that I can get sucked back in to the stories even after a five-year break, so I do my best to not even look at the soap opera magazines at the check-out in the grocery store.

After this latest soap opera binge, I have decided that I vastly prefer one character to be wrong, wrong, wrong, and anyone else to merely be misunderstood and/or troubled. It's not that I don't want all of the characters to be complex (and/or realistic) but... I sort of don't want all of the characters to be complex. I start to lose patience unless I have someone to root for without feeling guilty.

And, some porn battle recs! ( behind the cut )

Actually on second thought I'm just going to put the other ones in a separate entry, because I feel like it's not going to go well.

I'm sorry, I tried to edit my thoughts into coherence.

Here, have some thoughts about fandom and artificial intelligences, and the potential to Do It Wrong.

You ever have one of those days when you wonder about things and you wonder if your wondering is making a mountain out of a molehill?

Sometimes, one has thoughts, and one feels the need to blog about them. I am hereby announcing that you, the subscriber to my journal, are totally free from any typical social obligation to read the train wreck that follows. (that said, anyone wandering by from the latest feed or their network page or whatever is welcome to chime in)

( you know what? my disclaimers and wibbling get their own cut tag )

fanart: Marvel (Iron Man), Tony/AI!Jarvis, android, workshop Tab A, Slot B

So, my original thoughts were basically: 1) hot picture.

( To be clear, I don't intend any of this as a criticism of the artwork. I just started thinking, as you do. )

have just realized that I do not have an art rec tag, so I'm just going to slap fic rec on this. Sorry. Will fix that later when I feel up to managing tags.
