1. I sort of glazed through the whole fanlib and 07 debacles, but I've been following both stories with great interest (I recommend life_wo_fanlib for the former and fanarchive for the latter, as far as positive follow-up action). Because the industry, such as it is, is thisclose to regulating us, and, what's more, finding a way to make money off of us, and I am really proud that fannish people are taking action to be on the front end of both of those revolutions. Not that I believe it's time, yet, for us to start charging for our services, but when someone starts making money off of our fan creations, I'd just as soon it be us. And I like that our lawyers and thinkers and responsible fannish women are doing the work to enable us to take action. In short, fandom rose to the challenge, of course we did, and that is just awesome. So, if you haven't joined fandom_counts yet, sign up and be counted. Friend it with all your fannish journals. There are over 35,000 journals so far.

2. In recent months, I have consumed The 4400, this season of ReGenesis and all of Moonlighting. Mostly what I've learned is that I have to just close my eyes and love Moonlighting and David and Maddie with all I've got, whether or not the show is sexist or Bruce Willis is a Republican. GOD I love David and Maddie so much. Is there, god help me, fic?

3. Also, people! Doctor Who: Human Nature/Family of Blood -- that was, seriously, a big deal, right? Like, in the history of the Doctor, the show, the universe, my love affair with David Tennant? Because. Dude.

4. It's weird to see Martin Donovan (on The Dead Zone, atm) and know that Adrienne Shelly is dead. They were, like, my Hal Hartley OTP!

5. The Hollywood Forever Cemetery on Saturday nights in the summer is one of the last truly democratic spaces on Earth, I swear. We saw Gilda last week, and the cars line up in a line down Santa Monica Blvd for blocks waiting for the gates to open at 7:30, and then everyone, cars and pedestrians, normal people and celebrities, gets ushered in at ten bucks a pop, and then we all race with blankets to claim the best patch of grass. We share food and cigarettes with our neighbors, and watch each other make out, and everybody talks during the movie and nobody shushes anyone, which in turn means no one really talks too loud, and there are only Port-o-potties to pee in, and a friendly guy with a flashlight to show you, after you've waited on line for a half hour, which one is free. And then it gets dark and if it rains it rains, and if there's junebugs everybody freaks out for a minute and mostly you just watch the movie, sharing chicken and passing joints.

We were just talking about this! It's one of the things I utterly love, that the only defining process is your willingness to show up, play nice with your neighbors, pay your money and enjoy yourself. No privilege, no attitude, just grass and screen and each other.

And dude, you have no idea how much I want you to write Moonlighting fic. No earthly idea. Just close your eyes and think of England!! Ignore Bruce Willis, just think David Addison.

Not signing up to fandom_counts, because, well, you know me. I don't do hives. But yes to everything else. I even watched Dr Who with Fi. (She made me.)

you are like the sexiest person ever for saying that. Trust is one of my top ten films ever, for real. up to this day i consider that the most romantic gesture in the universe is giving someone a Thesaurus.
