Hapy Thanksgiving!!
Nov. 25th, 2010 03:28 pmI started the day playing ( Katy Perry chases Elmo )
For those who are ready to move past turducken: Turbacon. It's a bird inside a bird inside a bird inside a bird inside a bird inside a pig. With bacon. And butter. And Dr. Pepper.
The news that Prince William and Kate Middleton plan to include commoners among their wedding guests naturally made me think of Pulp's Common People (link goes to the sublime Shatner cover).
Amazingly enough, I have seen two movies in as many weeks (in the theater, even!): Unstoppable and Red. The former was seriously suspenseful -- a real nail-biter -- the more so because all the perils were utterly realistic. The latter was more of a romance than I expected (not that I minded). Malkovich stole the show, and it's always nice to see the improbably lean Karl Urban.
After five years reading almost nothing but SGA (and before that six reading almost nothing but Due South), I appear to have moved on to Sherlock BBC. I think it's interesting that fanon!Sherlock is almost always a few (or more than a few) degrees less sane than canon!Sherlock. (It reminds me of how fanon!John Sheppard is almost always more of a genius than canon!John Sheppard.) ( cut for rant about why JS is a genius without being a GENIUS )
Anyhow, despite my personal conviction that Sherlock is actually relatively sane, I am ridiculously fond of![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
wordstrings.livejournal.com's Paradox Series.
And despite the fact that I am pretty much a monofan, I also really enjoyed![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
dirasudis' Vorkosigan-verse series, The World That You Need
Finally, I am not much of a grace-saying person, but I -am- a science-fiction-movie-loving person, and I very much appreciated John Scalzi's science-fiction Thanksgiving grace.
