Userpic Meme from [livejournal.com profile] saikogrrl:

Look at your LJ userpics list. If you have fewer than 50 icons, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five icons, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five icons, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly why you have it, why it's interesting to you, and what significance it has.

You can relax: I have only five. )

I cheered myself up after yesterday's purging pre-this-day sharing by watching the first three episodes of Red Dwarf series eight. I completely revise my previous statements about not being sure I'd rewatch the series. I think I definitely would. They had a retrospective on how the show came to be and there were clips from the previous series and I was like "Aww, I remember that" and I do so with much more fondness now I've seen most of it. It's kind of like how rewatching Farscape makes me forgive a lot of the crap I found stupid or annoying in the early bits. Red Dwarf might never have been as laugh-out-loud funny as I was expecting, nor are a tremendous amount of the lines easily spoutable (despite [livejournal.com profile] saikogrrl et al being able to do so at will), but I still very much love the idea of the show. And Rimmer and Cat. They're still adorable.

Rimmer had such a great line at the end of the episode I watched, I almost screamed delightedly: "The world loves a bastard." That and his "Permission to look smug, sir?" smugness nearly did me in. Hello, Rimsy. Welcome back.

Okay, so [livejournal.com profile] jethrien's friend and bachelorette party organizer is in grad school for physics, and when I found that out, she explained a little more and promptly lost me because, even though I am fond of science, physics just manages to make my brain stop working.

SomethingAwful has a Goldmine up that is titled Motivational Posters for Supervillains, and I nearly died when I saw this:

Fuck yes, man.

From The New York Times:
Sunday evening, Mr. Bush paid tribute to the victims, laying wreathsin small reflecting pools at ground zero, one in the footprint of eachtower. It was a hint of life in a place that still brims with memoriesof death, a reminder that even five years later, the attacks are not sovery distant.

He vowed that he was “never going to forget the lessons of that day.”


Oh no? How come all of the goodwill and togetherness got swept away so you could continue doing as you wanted? Perhaps because you played hate politics to stay in power? Do you not remember how it was immediately after? How people came together and how the world wanted to help us, help us heal, share our grief? Perhaps you don't remember, Mr. Bush. Maybe Jon Stewart can remind you. (Link stolen from [livejournal.com profile] newredshoes, but I'm sure she'd encourage me to pass it on).
