Jun. 25th, 2006 09:57 pmHolland is playing the World Cup right now. I haven't heard any cheering yet, so I think it's not going well. I suppose that means it'll be over tonight (Sorry, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
darynthe, that your team's out too. I know you enjoyed it. Sorry to my brother too, who seems to be breathing football these days...). I just biked to the videostore to return a movie and the streets are absolutely barren. Except for this single woman leaning out of the top window, overseeing the village. Maybe she was driven to despair by the testosterone filling her living room?
I'd say something about the skewed sense of reality people have when watching a football game gets higher TV ratings than, for instance, the Tsunami or 9/11, but then I just spent four hours reading LotR fic, so who am I to judge?
The movie I watched? "The Weather Man." Another of those realistic, monologuey, depressing commentaries on the drudgery of everyday life and the stunted relationships between families and the underlying vibe of betterment, which mostly bored me. I've seen better. Plus, Nicolas Cage rubs me the wrong way too. That poor girl and her Camel toes (she's going to have that follow her in real life). I'd not heard of this term before, and now I'm afraid I won't soon forget it. Ugh.
In other news, I read the MsScribe story. Was sceptical at first (I mean, WTF? Why bother?), but it seems to be true, confirmed byheidi8 in this post. o_O I remember several events on this loooong research (mostly because I have epicyclical friended to keep updated with her Draco Trilogy, which rocks, and because I used to read Fiction Alley Park and HPfGU). I had not heard of Gryffindor Tower though. I hate H/G all on its own merits, not because of some fandom wanker. I used to read F_W sporadically, but not really anymore. After a while, you get tired of their singleminded tracks... Sometimes I agree with the wanks (hello, Anne Rice *waves*), sometimes I don't (guess which), but generally... just meh. I like witty sarcasm, not gangbanging. This doesn't change that what MsScribe did is OMGWTF material, although it's almost ingenuously clever too. Where did she find the time?
I shouldn't be commenting on this. It's none of my business. But, ya know, fandom gossip and all... so hard to stay away.
