*blinks sluggishly* Hmmm?

I've been weirdly silent lately. Getting nothing done, I assure you. I will not make the fabricated fic deadline of February 1 which I told maxinemeyer to arbitrarily assign me. My ability to believe in fake deadlines is deteriorating with age.

Despite having people on my flist with extremely strong views on both sides of the latest mckay_sheppard kerfluffle, I can't muster an opinion. I've tried! I've got nothing! I am undecided about spots.

A few minor updates to the TS info page: Jim's ATM PIN, speculations on Blair's place of origin, stints in the monastery and Malaysia added to Blair's timeline, and a new feature I'm totally not prepared to follow up on, Likes & Dislikes. I have some kind of placeholdery stuff in there for now. I might continue or expand it if I can think of more specific, citeable affinities and phobias, or I might scrap it. Any suggestions? And *is* WonderBurger a fannish invention?

Demon Under Glass

O-kay! Something to cross off my list of things to do!

I put some solid work in tonight and finally, finally finished watching Demon Under Glass. I have been at it since, like, October. I just couldn't watch for longer than about five minutes at a time.

What I'm trying to tell you, I guess, is that that's why the recap is so incredibly detailed.

DEMON UNDER GLASS "In a featureless black box room, the three doctors watch through a one-way mirror into the super-secure-totally-look-we-boringly-showed-all-these-security-measures room where the SWAT guys are installing Marcus's casket. Subcommander Tal tells [Blair] that inside is a 'creature of pure [mumble]' (malevolence? evil? metal?) Blair guesses 'Lawn gnome?' Dirty look: 'Vampire.' Blair's incredulous. Tal: 'Do you know any human being that can be repeatedly shot, clubbed, shoved into a box, and still have the strength to resist?' Well, Blair does, yeah."

NB: I do not want you to watch this movie. I can't stress that enough. I don't even really recommend that you read the recap, but must needs when the devil drives. Godspeed.
