Wow, almost a month since the last post.

☞ The most annoying thing about discussing feminism: It's not the men. They are priviledged, and I know from personal experience how hard it is to constantly work against it. I expect them to try, but if they fail, at least I understand why. The most annoying thing are the women who buy into the lie of achieved equality and who think that everything is how it should be and that they are not underpriviledged in any way.

☞ The Stargate post, oh how I hate it. I've rewritten it yet again and I'm still not happy with it.

☞ I was never a fan of zombies, but Pride and Prejudice and Zombies changed that. I really liked the book.

☞ I hate the weather. It's almost September, and I'm sick of 25°C and higher. I can't work on anything that way, which is probably why I worked on the OTW translations in the morning. My brain feels like mush at any other time of the day.

☞ Tacos are evil. But at least I'm down to a more or less normal weight for me and unless I eat them every day, I probably won't gain any again.

☞ A Torchwood fic rec: The Theory of Two Centres by copperbadge. Summary: "Ianto Jones woke up in a bed that wasn't his, in a flat that wasn't his, wearing clothing that definitely wasn't his." This is the first sentence of the fic, and it actually summarizes the story rather well. Warnings/Labels: amnesia, violence.

Well, I really haven't been feeling all that well lately. I still haven't recovered from the warning discussion for one. That's why I haven't been particularly active lately. That and I was busy reading the Temeraire series. I loved the first three books, but the last two ... it's not that they're bad (they're not), I just have a feeling I know where the series is going and that I won't like it one bit. Reading isn't that much fun if you're waiting for the books to jump the shark.

☞ ( Spoilers for season three of Torchwood: )

☞ To Americans who discuss racism in Germany: Germany is not the US. Stop applying your standards, please? Or at least do a bit of research.

☞ Watching Smallville feels like time travel. The early seasons, at least. I feel like I'm back in 11th grade. I suppose I would feel the same if I watched Buffy, but I don't have this problem with other series.

☞ I am going to write that meta post about my thoughts on Stargate some day. Hopefully. It's harder than it sounds.
