crankyoldman: "Hermann, you don't have to salute, man." [Pacific Rim] (austin happy)
So, the Minions and I had a discussion at lunch about literary criticism and some other awesome crazy deep shit. And then Minion J linked me to the interview with Battlestar's Ron Moore on Wired and there was something said about the world of criticism that really got me thinking. Also io9's take on the latest BSG episode makes me not want to read their recaps anymore, as it was wanky today (and I for one, think the episode was just how it should have been, and rather enjoy seeing male character "do something for love" as it's traditionally the girl that does that).

where I talk about my distrust of most critics )

Now that that's out of the way, some opinions on things!

On Indiana Jones, general enough to not be spoilerrific )

on Prince Caspian, or why I might like the movies more than the books )

on Kino's Journey, or the ANIME EVERYONE SHOULD GO WATCH NOW )

P.S. FREE E-BOOKS. YAY!

P.P.S. Alright, a wicked part of me wants to read this, because I figure this will be humorous to me.

P.P.P.S. Summoner FST up here and on [livejournal.com profile] viniel

WOKE UP TOO DARN LATE ARG. Seriously, I hate waking up late. I have Things To Do. Oh well. There is much to report, despite!

+ I think I might like Sarah Jane Adventures. I think it's because Sarah Jane is probably the most underused character type; she's over 30, maybe a little motherly, and not so badass not to have her vulnerabilities, yet still is awesome. And the show doesn't take itself seriously, which was something that I missed about sci-fi shows (without going into the Sci-Fi Original Movie territory of TOO silly). At least I have something to watch before BSG that is a little lighter (I mean, come on, I can only handle so much!).

+ I HAVE A WATER GARDEN ALL SET UP. WATER LILY AND A FLOATER AND AN OXYGENATOR! I don't have the little water pump (which is cute, it's made to look like a Greek or Roman pot) set up yet, but everything's planted. JUST PUT IT IN. Hopefully I'll have some blooms this year! Pictures here.

+ I'm going to the drive-in tonight, with a double feature of Indiana Jones and Prince Caspian. I fully intend on making inappropriate jokes during both movies, and having bad popcorn. I love drive-ins.

+ Almost done with a FFX Summoners FST because of [community profile] drakonlily and the fact that [community profile] fst needs some FF FSTs that are not about Crisis Core.

+ I love making breakfast, I kick ass at making eggs.
