I noticed an ad in the Daily Pennsylvanian advertising an apartment with C/A. Now, A/C I get. But C/A? Does that mean that the inhabitants ship Carrot/Angua? Or Crowley/Aziraphale or Cordy/Angel? C/A already has far too many fandom associations. Why must housing ads tread already trampled turf?

Done! Physics was just about what I expected. Now off to Cosi with Ko to enjoy Spinach and Artichoke dip and other type goodies.

I have to leave for the airport at 4-4:30 tomorrow for a 6AM flight. Originally I was thinking of just staying awake, but now I’m thinking not so much. So tired. ZZZZZZzzzz.

Ah, Tucker Carlson. The Daily Show is going to have so much to talk about when it comes back from its holiday break! Last week, MSNBC host Tucker Carlson, a well-known conservative pundit, let loose with a string of anti-Canada rants.

“Anybody with any ambition at all, or intelligence, has left Canada and is now living in New York,” he said. “Canada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he’s nice but you don’t take him seriously. That’s Canada.”

Carlson also said it’s pointless to tell Canada to stop criticizing the United States. “It only eggs them on. Canada is essentially a stalker, stalking the United States, right? Canada has little pictures of us in its bedroom, right?” … “It’s unrequited love between Canada and the United States. We, meanwhile, don’t even know Canada’s name. We pay no attention at all,” he said.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Hot Topic now carries Serenity merchandise. Of course, I already have my own handmade version of the Medallion tee and I’m not as fond of the “My Turn” design, but still. Look at some of the potential designs we may see in the future! Glee! Our first real official merchandise. I wonder what effect this will have on the thriving fan-made merch economy?

(And of course, today I happen to be wearing my “I can kill you with my brain” tee from Shiny Shirts, in hopes that it will help me to thoroughly pwn my physics exam!)

DUDE. I just dreamed that I dreamed a huge chunk of the 7th Harry Potter book. If the real ending is anywhere as cool as my dream-ending, it’s going to ROCK.

So much Joss Whedon love today! (Have you bought your copy of Serenity yet?) One post on the joys of “Release-of-Serenity Day” and the other correcting Entertainment Weekly assumption that Joss would not be returning to the Firefly ‘verse.

“I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips.” and “It’s like Christmas in July–in December!” (reg req)

Also, here‘s a really fun interview with Nathan!

Tonight, the reek of cigarette smoke was particularly obnoxious, so I wedged our door open. It comes in from the vent in our kitchen, and unless it has somewhere else to go, it makes a beeline for my desk and hovers about me in a toxic cloud. In a nice twist, our open door served as an encouragement for people to hang out with us. First M (Ko’s roommate freshman year) came by, then Alex. M, who had declared last year that she was a lesbian, told us that she was getting back together with her 38-year-old ex-boyfriend, and Alex, our beloved gayboy, told us that he was going to come out to his parents this Friday.

“It’s just our night to be visited by gay people!” Ko observed.
“First it was gayness past, then gayness present… will the next person be gayness future?” I pondered.

The next people to come by were Deep and Nikki, whom we decided will totally turn gay for each other, despite displaying nothing but heterosexual tendencies. “Maybe they’ll pull a Willow!” I suggested. But then their heterosexuality was spared when Lisa (also gay) came by, and we decided that because she had not had sex yet, she could be our individual of Gayness Yet To Be. And all this was triggered by the visitation, not of the ghost of Marley, but of the smoky presence of what X-Files fans know as Morleys: the Cigarette Smoking Man’s preferred brand.

And now that Ko and I have had our Final Exam Eve visitation of homosexuals, we’ll grab a Christmas goose (actually chicken flavored Ramen), plum pudding (actually Izzy & Zoe’s apple crumble), and a new crutch for Tiny Tim.

God Bless Us, Every One!

Two awesome new links today!

Pandora — heard about it on Air America Radio. It’s a free (and completely legal) music listening service. Write in a song or an artist you like, and based on the different musical qualities that exemplify that song/artist, it’ll generate an endless playlist (or “radio station”) of songs that it predicts you will like. I was in a Muse mood this evening, so that’s what I used for my input. Amusingly enough, the song it played to exemplify Muse was “Time Is Running Out,” the song I’m eventually vidding. Then the first song it recommended for me was by one of my sister’s favourite bands! I’m going to have to borrow some of her CDs over Christmas…

MyHeritage Face Recognition — submit a picture of yourself, and it’ll tell you what celebrities you resemble. Ganked from Kell!

Picture #1: (not smiling)
Grace Kelly 52% (dude!)
Katrina Kaif 50%
Aaliyah 49%

Picture #2: (smiling)
Anne Frank 67% (hurr?)
Lucille Ball 65%
Alyson Hannigan 60% (or not)

Picture #3: (a baby photo)
Pierce Brosnan 60% (ha!)
Gene Hackman 59%
Thierry Henry 58%

A chorus of “umm… no?” to the lot of them, but still fun!

Drunken Santas run riot in Auckland

A group of 40 people dressed in Santa Claus outfits, many of them drunk, went on a rampage through Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city, robbing stores, assaulting security guards and urinating from highway overpasses, police said Sunday…

Also, “Drunken Santa Riot” would be a great name for a rock band.
