I recorded Heroes because I was busy cooking and the end of the show was cut off. If someone wants to tell me what I missed I will give you e-hugs. They're worth a lot on the market right now. It cut off at ( SPOILERS HERE )
Fact: I cannot resist interview memes.
May. 23rd, 2007 11:20 pmIf you want to participate, leave a comment saying "interview me."
◊ I will respond by asking you five questions - each person's will be different.
◊ You will update your journal with the answers to the questions.
◊ You will include this explanation and an offer to interview others in the same post.
◊ When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
◊ ...or you will do whatever the fuck you want, it's not like I own you or something. Yet.
Why can't I copy and paste meme rules without compulsively adding and/or editorializing them? Is it some kind of sickness?
Anyway, QUESTIONS FROM
metonymy! ♥
1. You're transferring schools; what are you studying?
Double major in physics and astronomy!
HAHAHAHAHAHA no, really. Have I not mentioned this before? You'd think I'd tell more people about this.
2. Could you ever live in a frozen northern climate? (i.e. not desert?)
If that's where life takes me, then that's where I'll live. I hear the U of Wisconsin has a good graduate program in physics, for example.
Then again, I also recall a conversation with one of my old coworkers about living is Wisconsin.
"When the temperature hits twenty, you just don't even bother going outside."
"I can imagine. Thirty is bad enough. Two degrees below freezing is two degrees too much."
"I meant twenty below zero."
"... ... I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU JUST SAID THAT."
And then my brain shut down.
Then again, I thought I'd never get used to the grotesque horror that is humidity, but after spending every summer on the east coast (and that notable summer in Louisiana) I think I've finally gotten used to it.
3. What's a plot you'd love to see in SMF?
Well, aside from the overall arching plot of Senshi vs. Elementals leading up to a badass final showdown with deaths that don't really count (because it's Sailormoon) and redemption through the power of love (because it's Sailormoon)...
Er, wait, do you mean huge, overarching superplots or small, single-story sized plots?
Either way, THIS IS SUCH A GOOD QUESTION THAT I WILL SLEEP ON IT AND COME UP WITH LIKE FIVE EACH.
4. Is the internet going to explode when Deathly Hallows is released?
No, it will IMPLODE. Harry Potter readers have evolved into the sort of fans that cannot be satisfied no matter what, and so there will be the dense dark matter of grief over character death, of righteous indignation re: character development, of a thousand voices that will cry out "that's not how it's supposed to end!" and are suddenly silenced - and the internet will collapse under it's own weight. I will probably be one of those fans.
Then we will all have to move to that backup internet that China is building.
5. Heroes finale: satisfying or disappointing? Show your work.
Oddly satisfying.
hearsawho showed most of my work for me by quoting me fairly extensively in her review.
( Here's a little more work, though. SPOILERS )

I like it, it works
Mar. 12th, 2007 12:13 amHeroes: where serial killers and Pokemon collide. It's just twisted enough that I am laughing my ass off.
From the man who brought you Heroes beating things up to Twisted Sister and Pinky and The Brain(-eating guy).
The last one makes my heart smile because it reminds me of Mstislav and Aunt Margaret (OTP WHAT).
"What are we going to do tonight, strange man? And who are you? How did you get into my house?"
"The same thing we do every night, you crazy bitch: try to take over the world!"

Heroes-ish
Mar. 4th, 2007 02:21 amI try not to get too attached to the actors who play my favorite television and movie characters, because doing so only leads to horrible things, like me sitting through Vertical Limit and Reign of Fire for five minutes of The Sid.
That being said, Greg Grunberg is pretty cute.
PICK ONE: JOGGING OR YOGA
"All-you-can-eat."
Note of coincidence: The only reason I'm not watching 24 this season to get my Sid on is because it comes on at the same time as Heroes.

I used to think that I could never possibly tire of reading about gamma ray bursts. I was somewhat mistaken.
HOMEWORK BREAK MEME. Lo, I have summed up ten "fandoms" in ten sentences. CAN YOU GUESS WHAT THEY ARE? I can't. And I thought I was bad at the lyric meme.
If anyone can guess number four, I will let you bear my children.
1. Reincarnated with better hair.
2. Meat jello and prehensile genitalia. - Babylon 5 (
metonymy)
3. The gods of our enemies are all melty and flakey. - Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (
rotsman)
4. It's like Pokemon, but with symbiotic arm bands and psychedelic fog.
5. The neediest narrator in the history of the first-person viewpoint.
6. Dad left home and replaced me with a lizard. :( - Heroes (
hearsawho)
7. The genderless blobs are always the first to go.
8. Single-handedly introducing heraldry to Generation Y. - Harry Potter (
rotsman)
9. The best way to understand ancient texts is to really, really, REALLY invest yourself in them. - Fushigi Yuugi (
rotsman)
10. For those who like their musicals within musicals to POP (and also BANG and KABOOM). - The Producers (
urrah)
