it is just as well that lj is down

if it weren't, i'd be tempted to talk about Glee and how fandom is doing it wrong; being tired of listening to non-Americans hold forth on America; tokenism vs NOTHING AT ALL and which is more harmful; and a rant about civil behavior and how people are giant assholes who deserve a punch in the neck.

Instead, I shall say that cornbread is quite nice and Gail Carriger's Soulless is effervescent and delightful.

Also, in the realm of geeky things:
1) Planning a wedding to coincide with comic con: nerdy or NERDIEST?
2) when I next buy a house (a bigger one, where I do not plan to move ever), furniture from this site will be in it: http://www.geekchichq.com/
Because there's nothing more awesome than a dining room table that converts to ULTIMATE RPG GAMING TABLE. I would get it now, but it wouldn't fit in my dining room.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that Glee fandom is SRS BSNS, but I can see how that would be frustrating.

1) Nerdy. Unless you're doing it in costumes, in which case: NERDIEST. And I love you for it. (:

2) OMG COOL!

It's not so much Glee fandom, though there are moments of /o\ with them, so much as it is people that are criticizing Glee for being all token-y and stereotypical and misogynist and racist when they are still watching, say, Supernatural.

Like, if you're going to start tarring shows with that brush, all the shows should be getting it and someone's kink button show shouldn't get a pass just because it hits someone's kinks. And it's just frustrating to keep reading criticism like that.

and I would totes go for costumes, except I bought my wedding dress already and it makes me go :D :D :D. The Boy, however, wants a cape and a top hat and a cane. And our wedding favors are going to be RPG dice. um. and possibly we're going to have Rock Band at the wedding in addition to dancing. IDEK.

That's genius! Grooms should always wear capes. Sounds like a great wedding. I wanna see your dress!

And yeah, I know what you mean. I don't really get how my friends can tolerate SPN, based on what I've heard, but then I only have hearsay to go by -- never actually seen an ep, myself. People are still watching Dollhouse as well, and that makes me go o.O a LOT.
