seekingferretLee and Jon came over yesterday and I made Lee watch Danger 5. All of it. All that stuff about how it's the best thing on television? Still true. I desperately wish it had a fandom. I desperately wish my Inglourious Basterds crossover weren't the only fanficion this show has.
I created a facebook group for the International League of Sciencemongers, because I wanted to be a member of same. Why do I live in a world that doesn't have an International League of Sciencemongers already?
I picked up Anathem at the library today at lunch and read the first fifteen pages. Guys, please tell me Stephenson doesn't fuck up the ending? I don't think my fragile psyche could deal with another Snowcrash scenario on a book that opens as well as Anathem does. The linguistics porn is like Ferret-candy. And already the characters are so vivid and interesting and I want more. While at the same time every third word makes me go "Wha?" This is SF in classic strange culture puzzle mode. I love it. I just want to wallow in this world. I want there to be sprawling play-by-post/play-by-email roleplaying adventures in this world. Since the world isn't fair, I'm sure this doesn't exist. But anyway, 15 pages and already I'm in love. I know, I know, with Stephenson that's just asking to be jilted, but I can't help it.
