Have you guys ever had a virus that refuses to let a laptop shut down? How about one that, when you click on a Google search result, takes you to an ad instead of the site? This just happens in Google, though. You end up having to copy the search result URL and pasting it into the address bar. The search results from other search engines click fine. So anyway, neither your malware scanner nor your regular virus scan can detect this virus, and you suspiciously can't install Windows Defender. And sometimes tabs would just open randomly with more ads.



Bring out your dancing shoes, IT department, you've got a date with my pig's feces of a laptop. DON'T STEP IN ANY, NOW.

The 3-sentence ficathon now has a delicious directory! And it's still going on and on and on! Narnia appears to be the most popular fandom by far, followed by... crossover, and then by STXI and Dr. Who. COME PLAY. Add more fandoms!

My 3-sentence fics in the following fandoms: Sailor Moon, Peter Pan/Star Trek, Ocean's 11, Skins, geometry )

And now for everyone's favorite game: 2 links and a YouTube embed!

1) Awesome or terrifying? Would you sleep in it?
2) There is a Merlin AU crackfic in here somewhere.
3) Live-action country village rendition of the opening credits of The Simpsons, by Estonia's TV3.


Burgeoning paranoia #439898: I have too many names! It's getting all mixed up! More than once now I have almost sent emails to my thesis advisor with, like, "love, [high school nickname]", or to a potential employer with "cheers, Lassiter", or to my professor with "love you, [boyfriend's pet name for me]". What is this, the revenge of my compartmentalized personae? One day this is going to happen, and it's going to be terrible and hilarious. D:

Why did no one TELL ME Psych is so adorable?! I mean, lolz @ 'deductive reasoning' and how everyone in Santa Barbara is totally into psychics, but omg, Shawn is pretty much Seth Cohen in 15 years and Gus is like a geekier Ryan Atwood, WHICH MEANS they are obviously doing it. I'm not too happy that the character they named after me is an uptight butt-monkey, but whatever, rec me some Shawn/Gus and I'll be okay. (How weird would it be if I started writing Psych fic? It's like writing Narnia fic with the pen-name Eustace Scrubb. I have been Lassiter since forever ago!)

Speaking of being late to the party: House. It is delicious! Tell me, O flist, where does one go to get one's dose of non-House/Wilson House fic?

The holidays is for TV. ETA: Okay, Leverage is also pretty awesome, even if Parker is kind of annoying.


I've never done a fic round-up before, and I thought I might do one this year. I thought wrong. Instead, I compiled a self-indulgent list of my favorite fics that I've written and self-indulgently wrote about why I like them.

the year in review sort of )

So, to take a break from reccing fics everyone has already recced.

This next piece is inspired by this, a charming drabble about the romantic affairs of anthropomorphous land masses. Mine is about the sort of romantic affairs of anthropomorphous nations. As background, I present to you this woefully abbreviated summary of the Philippines' colonial and cultural history. )

That said, I have a few qualms about posting this relating to political correctness and hypocrisy. History and culture are subjective things, so I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries (says the girl who wrote RPS fic). Uh. I will say that the references aren't to be interpreted too literally. So, test-run on my journal before posting it to [livejournal.com profile] anthropomor_fic, a community to which everyone should contribute more often. Alright, who's ready for what could be construed as nationalist propaganda?!

Anthropomorphous things. Philippines/Spain, Philippines/USA.
