12:42 pm	HP/No Country... crossover Rather to my own surprise, I wrote a brief Harry Potter/No Country for Old Men fic out of the blue last night; no Deathly Hallows spoilers. (In fact, this is not Deathly Hallows compliant in any way.) Enjoy. ( A Meeting of Two Wizards. ) (11 Comments |Comment on this)

11:01 am	Tron (1982)/The Big Lebowski crossover fic Recently, the most estimable bodlon mentioned that he'd like to read Tron/Big Lebowski crossover fic. This being much too good an idea to allow to lie fallow, I became curious- could one take quite possibly the laziest man in Los Angeles county, and put him at the heart of an action movie, with even a half-serious (if only half, mind you- this is hopefully more of a "fish out of water" story, less of a crack!fest) story resulting? A couple of re-viewings later, I had something that I called... ( The Ballad of El Userino ) (7 Comments |Comment on this)

4:56 pm	Good As Gold is a mini-epiosde of Doctor Who written by three young girls who won a Blue Peter contest. (One can only imagine this guy’s -Hanitje’s, not Gaiman’s- reaction.) A fascinating list of future predictions by SF authors that proved to be (largely) accurate. I’m not sure about #4 (which alleges that Heinlein predicted screensavers in Stranger in a Strange Land, published in 1961). In the scene... "They went to the living room; Jill sat at his feet and they applied themselves to martinis. Opposite his chair was a stereovision tank disguised as an aquarium; he switched it on, guppies and tetras gave way to the face of the well-known Winchell Augustus Greaves.". I dunno; that sounds more like a (presumably holographic) disguise of the tank (because of Jubal Harshaw’s disgust with the modern world, one assumes- he probably didn’t want to remind himself of the tank’s presence) and not a screensaver saver per se. The thing about Mark Twain and the Internet, however- wow. An awesome flowchart concerning objections to same-sex marriage. An analysis of the speed of emission of blaster fire in Star Wars. (See? Not a laser)! When sloths attack. MEEP! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:13 pm	Guys, a request, since I've been seeing this a *lot* the last couple of days: while I absolutely loathe the lightness of the sentence he received, please stop saying how Dharun Ravi is going to get what's coming to him in prison. Just not on. (2 Comments |Comment on this)
5:30 pm	Point to ponder: if Bruce Banner survived the gamma radiation that turned him into the Hulk because of something unusual in his genetic makeup, wouldn't that technically make him a mutant? What about Spider-man? Should the Sentinels be swinging by the Baxter Building...? (4 Comments |Comment on this)

1:33 pm	Bad idea bear strikes again On Saturday, Z. decided- for reasons I can't begin to explain, or even fathom- that it would be a good idea to try to chop a concrete block in half with his broadsword, while wearing armor, and to be filmed doing it by yours truly. He caught me in a weak moment- I had just woken up- and I agreed; we went outside, and checked to make sure that there were no pedestrians around; after a brief spoken intro, he began hacking at the block with his broadsword... and I saw sparks flying... and I thought, You know, I can get this on video just as easily from, say, well to one side. On the video (which I should be posting later), you can see the viewing angle suddenly change as Z continues to hack... and then you hear a sudden clang, as I pan the camera down to the roughly six inches of sword blade which has landed exactly where I was previously standing. Note to self: the next time Z asks for help with videoing something, no matter how groggy- do not. As a friend said when I related the story: "God, he's such a bad idea bear." (From the ridiculous to the sublime: will be also posting photos from the awesome wedding of the lovely schmidtybooger and Joe (WINOLJ, AFIAK.) Yay!) (8 Comments |Comment on this)
