$oltha_heri: ({tv; life} anyone ever love you that mu)$

There may be a post for BSG, Dollhouse, and Sarah Connor reviews later today. But as a note: John Henry/Roman is awesome. Really, really high-fucking-larious. "He is sworn to defeat the makuta." LULz.
Also Tucker from Enterprise is the local sheriff.

It's been argued that Chaucer was the start of St. Valentine's day. See, writers are definitely the most awesome people ever.

au contraire, chaucer revitalized st valentine's day and helped set the modern date for it, but as i'm sure you know (because you are a reincarnated roman lady of high patrician birth who even the caesars probably knew not to tangle with) it's origin is the synthesis of the roman festival and the early martrydom of several st valentine's. as per my senior paper on valentine's day that almost killed me to research...

"St. Valentine’s Day is a holiday with its origins clouded in the early centuries of the Common Era. Conflated with Lupercalia, a Roman festival of fertility and love, and the martyrdom of several Valentines, one of whom was executed for encouraging the marriages of Roman soldiers and of Christians, it is a holiday with strong ties to romance from more than one cultural direction. Spread from Rome to England by Roman soldiers and settlers, the observance and awareness of this celebration in mid-February of love and endearment endured for centuries. The tradition of St. Valentine’s Day survived in England through the Middle Ages, “references…in English literature, including Chaucer, firmly associating Valentine’s Day with…love.” (McCain, 13) Exchange of written romantic notes became a tradition, poeticized and becoming more widespread in the 16th century, and persisting until the 18th century, when a formal system of Valentine exchange and finally valentine card production took hold."

as an academic yo'self i think you can understand why i feel the need to state this. especially since so many people apparently think hallmark invented the damn holiday! wtf!

OH YOU SAW DOLLHOUSE SO JEALOUS. I AM GONNA WATCH IT LATER TONIGHT WHEN IT HITS STC/HULU BECAUSE I NO HAVE TV. ALSO TSCCCCCCCCCCC

and yes girl, don't worry, when i get back from dinner i'll get to the icons.

I like the idea that I am a reborn Roman. :)

But yes, I know it has all its origins, but I just wanted to make the point that writers < the rest of us. Chaucer is one who is particularly < everyone. Shakespeare too, he should have a holiday, but I suppose he'll just have to settle for creating our language as we know it.

And yes, TSCC was rather wicked. I am kind of shipping Derek/Sarah, and I wish I wasn't, but I am *sigh*.

Also, just reread that. Good fucking academic writing. Me luffs you, and needs Bollywood icon.

Yes, I suppose he'll just have to settle for being one of the major lingual and creative influences of world history. Shucks! Shipping Sarah and Derek, are you? (I breathed between those two thoughts, I promise.) I do too, better than Sarah/Cameron which I see EVERYWHERE?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm actually pretty partial to Riley at this point, she has really grown on me. Your thoughts on her? I know you love Cam but do tell. And, finally, thank you! I always hope it suffices. And yes, you do need a Bollywood icon, because Bollywood is beautiful brilliance brought to banging beaming life, brother! How's that for an alliteration attack, huh!

I wish Riley would've died. I mean the only thing that is redeeming her in my mind is that Kendra (that's what I call Derek's future!gf because she was in the BSG thing Razor and that was her name) is completely manipulating her. But I still hate her, with a passion. I really can't stand Riley, I don't know why, I don't want to hate her, but I do. And yes, Sarah and Derek are shipping themselves, I swear to god I have nothing to do with it.

And Bollywood is awesome. And I need an icon, and I am really pissed at myself because I did some awesome alliteration the other day completely accidentally and now I can't remember it.

OMG, DOLLHOUSE WAS SO FREAKIN GOOD!!!!

It was. I heard some bad things about it and was very happy when they were all LIES!

Dude something just made a reference to Deep Blue Sea. Remember that movie where Samuel L. Jackson was completely, unexpectedly, and uncool-ly killed by that shark, and that was that Lycra ass that we hated. I think we need to invade Morgan's living room and watch bad evil animal movies, I even have a bad horror movies with lots of Irish people trying to be American, except for Katie McGrath who stays Irish, and doesn't die that early on, and is goth and has a tongue ring... and sorry Katie McGrath distracts me, she's like a shiny to my magpie.

[link] [parent] [reply]

YES BAD EVIL ANIMAL MOVIES! We can rewatch our greatest hits, like Lake Placid and Anacondas!! LOL btw where you there when we watched the ONLY THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE! movie??

[link] [parent] [reply]

Was that the one in the haunted prison?

[link] [parent] [reply]

ROFL. Yes. Yes it was. And "ONL THE STRONG WILL SURVIVE" was the ad they kept showing. Nothing says "endurance" like a sobbing German man on a sinking life-boat shouting slurred nonsensical things.

Oh yeah, that dude, it took us forever to find out what he was saying.

Also, I'm making icons. Don't hate me, there's some SGA ones in there. It's terrible...like popcorn. I can't exactly say I like it, because I don't, but I don't actively NOT like it, if you know what I mean.

[link] [parent] [reply]

Oh that's okay. It will make me feel less bad when I upload a post of SG-1 icons I have.
