dangermousie1. I won't be able to see BSG 2.10 until Sunday evening. Grrrrr... OTOH, I won't have net access either, so I won't get hideously spoiled either. I am truly looking forward to the Helo/Boomer stuff (what else is new?)
2. I haven't seen VM yet (but it's being shipped to me as we errr... type), but I have gotten addicted to VM fanfic courtesy of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sexycereal. I don't know who half the people are, but boy she makes them fascinating. And she wrote a LOT of stuff and I am having fun working through it. Sometimes being a spoiler nut really has its benefits.
3. Pet Peeve of the day: Why do people need to come up with cutesy names for ships? Why not do the vanilla way of initials with a slash between them? Buffy ships sound like comic book noises: Bangel! Spander! Spuffy! I keep expecting a Supervillain to pop up at any moment. Veronica Mars' Number 1 ship is called LoVe which is a bit creative, but I guess it's lucky the characters' names weren't Lucas and Stephanie, because LuSt doesn't sound nearly as good. And there are fandoms where ship names are completely random and if you are new you are lost. Take Roswell, where Max/Liz ship is "Dreamers" and Michael/Maria are "Candy." Nothing beats the crazy Harry Potter fandom though. I am sorry, but the tag of Wotcher-Wolvie (Remus-Tonks) gives me active indigestion. Pumpkin Pie (Harry/Hermione) and Orange Crush (Harry/Ginny) are not much better. Really.
4. While walking today, I saw posters for Serenity and Green Street Hooligans which has Elijah Wood and Charlie "yum" Hunnam as football hooligans. Can't wait!
5. Everyone should go and read every last bit of Helo/Boomer ficrepr0b8 has ever written. Right now.
6. Ditto forpoisontaster's Firefly fic.
ETA: 7. Bollynuts, go and readmissusk's account of meeting Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta on their film shoot in NYC.
