Dude, you have *got* to learn to torrent.

The Witches of Eastwick
As a slightly manic Paul Gross fangirl for lo these many years, I am terrified of this show. It just seems like a weird thing for him to do, and the concept doesn't exactly grab me (although I saw the movie as a kid, and I don't remember why but it didn't sit well with me, so I do have an…

No, actually, I don't. Way to assume. I watch (and read, and write) porn myself. My boyfriend is free to watch all the porn he likes, because he is an adult male who doesn't expect life (and sex) to be like a porn movie. And you can't tell me that the media children are raised with has no effect whatsoever on the…

I can mock the books just fine without slamming the people who gain enjoyment from them. Harry Potter isn't perfect either (not in the same LEAGUE, mind you, but still - not perfect), but the fans are still my peeps.

ah, Twilight…
I'm very decidedly not a fan of the books. They anger me from a feminist perspective (and really, that's the worst possible way to anger me unless you really like lectures). I actually pulled a colleague OUT of her fandom for the books by pointing out - at length - that if Edward were real you'd get a…

Goustist, I name everything. My iPhone (Threnody), my Creative Zen (Zenobia II), my desktop PC (Miyuki), my Nintendo DS (Ferdinand), my Eee PC (Eloise)… and so on. It's perfectly valid. I'm going to name you Assface. :)

Just took the iPlunge…
(oh, I hate myself for that subject. Anyway.)

*facepalm*
You know what? I'm the eldest of eight, and I can tell you precisely what it's like to have eight kids: fucking horrid. I've never seen this show (it doesn't air in Australia, and I'm not interested anyway), but I can't imagine it's anything other than painstakingly edited for maximum bathos.

…yes. Which is about what I said in my post. Thanks very much for that!

LOL, you didn't miss anything, unless you really wanted to immerse yourself in Sydney's most picturesque bigot enclave. Cronulla - hell, the entire Shire region - is full of precisely that: misogyny, homophobia and racism, all wrapped up in the most insular worldview I've ever had the misfortune of arguing with at…

*eyeroll* It was the first example of excessive bold fonts in dialogue I could lay my hands on, dipshit. Don't offer constructive assistance or anything. Fuck you.

Why I Don't Read Comics, by Lmnop, age 27
I can't get into comics at all. It's not the medium itself, I've seen some amazing art - it's the writing tropes. As a voracious reader of (non-graphic) novels, I have a tendency to take emphasis cues seriously.

Nope, Waverley Cemetery is the one at Bronte - you know, the beach between Coogee and Bondi (you're a tourist, you'll know :P). It's on a cliff top. Poets, authors and successful criminals are buried there and the graves date back to the 1800s. Google for photos.

@Dr Nguyen - untrue! My good Mancunian forefathers only had to deal with rain and chill and eternally overcast skies, and whilst I did indeed inherit that complexion, I also have to cope with all these horrible blue skies and sunshine. I burn to glowing in ten minutes. No amount of white base foundation can fix that,…

I dunno - seems to me like Dr Nguyen has a problem with shut-ins, nerds, fat girls, and people who don't like the sun, so I'm kinda confused as to why he's on the internet.

Hail to the Thief is the album that turned me from a casual Radiohead fan to the sort of woman who has three Radiohead posters on her living room walls… which I do. I will never understand the hate. That whole album is magnificent.

I have a few xkcd comics ("Cat Proximity", "Guitar Hero" and "Online Package Tracking"), a promotional postcard for the late lamented Canadian rock band The Headstones, an Unamerican sticker exhorting people to mosh clockwise, and a Harry Potter calendar.

Ahahaha, "digg their own graves". That's awesome. I don't even know why I'm enjoying that so much.

(Late, again. I hate my timezone)

@Otto: Thank you kindly. Use it at will. *curtsey*
