sugar | and I shall write them a firmly-worded letter

Dear fic-hating snobs: you can hate all you want, but step the hell off Gregory Maguire while you do it. Thank you.

Dear defendants of fic-as-hobby: please stop comparing fanfic to needlecraft. They are not the same thing, at all. Sure, they can both be hobbies. But one is an exploration of the boundaries of fictional worlds, and a contribution to an ever-changing, pretty much infinite collective mythology. The other is an exploration of yarn. I have knit in the past. Believe me, it's different.

I think this may have been the overall worst week of regular-season TV since 2004. Wait. Actually, come to think of it, make that 1995. I'm using X-Files' "Anasazi" or thereabouts as a reference point. Basically, it hasn't been this bad since invisible zoo animals tried to trample Mulder and Scully. In my opinion, anyway. :(

.

That said, it just makes me love fandom that much more. You guys rule. We've had such tough times these past few weeks, and yet I have seen such amazing courage, wisdom, humour, flexibility and strength from so many of you.

My family and I have been working our way through Michael Apted's Up Series one disc at a time. We received 28 Up the other day, but I think we're all too scared to watch it. It is so hard to watch some of these kids spiral out of control by stages, knowing this all happened 30 years ago and there's nothing you can do about it. Neil, what will have become of you when I put the disc in? :\

What's the horribleness in TV? I have to admit that the only things I'm watching right now are Community and Doctor Who, so I guess I'm missing out on the drama? Do tell!

OMG YES. And I appreciate your thoughts on needlecraft as well. ;D

This made me lol.

*snort* Don't tell the knitters I agree with you...

Oh, Supernatural was beyond awful, just hopeless and incoherent. I wish I had the guts to stop, but I've invested too much. And this past Lost was equal parts mind-numbingly dull and ridiculous. Although I'm not discounting the whole of Lost or anything. To be honest, by sucking, it kind of made me realize how good so many of the other episodes were. Maybe that was the point! Hopefully the end will make some kind of sense.

I'm sure there were good things on TV this week, too. I just didn't happen to see them! I really should catch up with Community. I just fell way behind early on and never caught up, but I really liked what I saw :)

Ideas are not crafting supplies! :D

Ah! Both shows I no longer watch! :p Although if LOST does end with anything like sense-making and emotional satisfaction, I'll give it another shot. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Does it make me a bad person to admit that I'm kind of glad SPN has gone hopeless and incoherent? Because if it was just wonderfulwonderfulwonderful, I'd be tempted to get back into it again, but I mean to stick to my guns on this. So it's kind of a relief that I'm not missing anything, you know?

Community is just lovely and lovable in every way. I want to hug it. Also, "Modern Warfare" may be the best half hour of comedy I've ever seen. It's a wonderful of good construction and character-drive humor and brilliant homage...and it's written by a woman who is now my hero and should get an Emmy but probably won't.

I love knitting! It's very rewarding! But if your stories are like socks, then you're writing them wrong ;)

That pre-set fic bashing noise is INSANE. So cruel.

It's kind of crazy how they're taking the opportunity while attacking us to go after the people in *their* group that they don't approve of.

I know so many people who have quit, or at least seriously considered quitting LOST. But every time I'm almost out, it somehow finds exactly what will pull me back in, lol. I'll let you know if the end makes any sense at all ;)

It doesn't make you a bad person at all that you're glad SPN is sucking. It makes you a prescient person!

Please do! I'm going to have a big consultation after the show is over amongst all my friends who watch it to determine whether it makes sense and whether I should pick up where I left off (the first half of S3). I look forward to your thoughts.

Ha! Well, I'm glad that my friends who are happy about it are happy, and I'm sad that you're dissatisfied. Even though I've moved on, I still want all the fans to be happy, you know?

her account got hekcad and it was super easy to hack Facebook accounts and when I told her she was completely wrong she was rather surprised.I told her hacking Facebook is tough, they got top of the line security, there isn't a lot of people that will hack Facebook, I said 95% of people don't hack Facebook to gain access to a user account they hack the individual via key-loggers and other malicious software, its much easier to create a windows virus that scans for keystrokes then it is to sit there and hack some random persons Facebook account.The mis-conception happens when the unknowing user phrases there frustrations by saying They hekcad Facebook and gained access to my account when most of the time they just didn't log out of Facebook on there computer or they had a key-logger installed.Those are just small examples but my overall point is it doesn't reduce your security when you show public user-names via a login form it just gives the illusion of reduced security. Any real web developer will take the time to put in place a ton of validation checks on the back end systems to make sure its really secure.
