| Luke the Idiot Boy Mayor is at it again. |
[Nov. 9th, 2009|12:03 pm] |
Oh, for the love of Mike.
The Idiot Boy mayor has asked city council to tax college students for the privilege of going to school in Pittsburgh.
While Pitt and UPMC remain tax exempt.
Does anybody else see anything wrong with this picture? Let's tax poor college students (many of whom are city residents or employees of city businesses, and thus *already* taxed for their use of city services) while the wealthiest corporations in our city continue to cry "non-profit!" and pay nothing.
Oy vey ...

It's not too hard to figure out who the characters are in this, but the way I wrote doesn't name either of them. Given that, I thought I shouldn't specify who they are in the subject line. I'm completely willing to change that, though.
Title: Late Nights
Rating: White Cortina
Word Count: 453
Notes: I wrote this a while ago, but I'm fairly sure I never posted it here. Contains implied slash.
Summary: What two officers of the law get up to at the station when everyone else has gone home. (Sadly enough, this isn't as dirty as the summary may sound.)
Link to my journal, because Livejournal's coding is trying to make me break things today.

| We now return to "Battling Seizure Robots." |
[Nov. 8th, 2009|11:23 am] |
Finally, at the behest of my sister (after making her promise to watch District 9 with me when it comes out on DVD), I can count myself among those that have seen Transformers. Unfortunately, what has been seen cannot be unseen so now I must adapt to my new life as someone who has seen Transformers. It’s not going well, let me tell you.
It’s particularly hard to reconcile the fact that Michael Bay is a cinematic hack with the fact that he bathes in piles of money that he earned from his cinematic hackery. After a bout of some exceptionally bad dialogue about alien radio signals or something equally as tenuous, my sister said “Yeah, dialogue’s not very important in a Michael Bay movie. No one really cares what’s being said.” Well, I care! The dialogue helps drive the narrative and if the dialogue is crappy and unrealistic then it makes it hard to take the story seriously. And yeah, OK, it’s a movie about giant alien robots who disguise themselves as cars (American cars, of course. What else would they be, you Commie bastards?) but there are plenty of movies with similarly absurd plot lines in which dialogue was not simply an afterthought; Star Wars, the new Star Trek film, District 9 as mentioned above, just to name a few. It is entirely possible to have both incredible special effects and thought-provoking dialogue and if Michael Bay can’t do it himself, then he should hire someone with his billions and billions of dollars to do it for him! I am not going to just accept two-hours of CG’d explosions as good entertainment. No, I demand more from the movies I choose to watch.
P.S. Despite my best efforts to tear the film apart as I watched it, my sister did come up with the best critique. In regards to the hot Australian computer analyst chick: “There’s no way an Australian would be able to decode computer signals. She’d be drunk.” Her words, not mine. |

Hi! I'm new to this whole livejournal thing. Just stumbled on this site a few weeks ago, when I was searching for more Life on Mars fanfiction. After watching the Life on Mars series, I watched A2A but it's just not the same. So I make up for it with fanfics - which are all brilliant!!!
I was wondering if someone could please write a story to do with this prompt. I've had this idea running through my head for a while now.
Type: Fic
Fandom/Tv Show: Life on Mars
Pairing/Character: Sam/Annie
Details: Sam and Chris gets captured by a crimelord who hates Gene because of a fight in the past. Gene, Ray, Annie, Phylis and the rest of the gang have to work hard to find them. Show Sam trying to protect Chris from getting beaten up - fluff. Lots of Sam bashing. Maybe have Litton make an appearance? Would be nice to see Gene in a protective light.
Thank you! I would really appreciate if someone could do a story on this! =]

Anyone know what's going on with all the helicopters and police cars zooming around downtown? I'm in Oxford Center and a police helicopter flew by my window a few minutes back, it zoomed in between Oxford and the Grant Building, which was pretty crazy.
I know the Russell Crowe movie is filming on the Allegheny River bridges today, is this madness for that? Or is it other madness entirely? |

| They've got a comm troll... by fawsley, green cortina crossover |
[Nov. 8th, 2009|02:16 pm] |
Title: They've got a comm troll...
Author: fawsley
Characters: Sam, Gene, mention of various others including implied Aragorn/Boromir
Rating: cracky green Cortina crossover silliness
Word count: 370
Disclaimer: All the property of the BBC, Kudos, Bernard Cornwell and JRR Tolkien
Summary: Manchester faces disaster, but there's still time for Sam to instruct Gene on political correctness.
Notes: I thought all my fics were here on the comm but realised that this one wasn't. It's from a couple of years ago when there was a spot of nastiness going on, in reaction to which I wrote probably the only (thankfully) Mars/Sharpe/Lord of the Rings crossover...

| At least they just warned me, and didn't tow me. |
[Nov. 7th, 2009|04:34 pm] |
This afternoon after I bought a few items at the Giant Eagle on Murray Ave. in Squirrel Hill, I left the bag on my car seat and then walked down the street to Barnes & Noble. When I came back, there was a store-generated note on my windshield with my license number filled in, reminding me that parking there is allowed only while you're actually shopping, not while you're then running errands nearby, and drivers not actively shopping are subject to getting their buggies towed away. I'm guessing they're keeping track of cars that park there repeatedly. I think I might have been noticed exiting the parking lot on foot by a guy rounding up grocery carts. Over the past couple of years, I've parked there many times without actually shopping, but this is the first time anything has been said about it. Just thought I'd let you know. Have you ever been towed from there? |

[Nov. 6th, 2009|01:25 pm] |
Thank you to this community and the terrific people here who supply me with copious amounts of wonderful, wonderful Sam/Gene slash fics. I've become so addicted to this pairing that I really cannot get enough of them. And so, in dedication to every single person who has ever posted a Sam/Gene slash fic I present to you my first ever slash fanvid (and only my 10th video ever made).
( Slashy, cracky vid with a side of fluff here ) |

| Friday Drabble Challenge #53 |
[Nov. 6th, 2009|12:05 am] |
.
Your choice of one word prompts (remember you don't have to actually *use* the word in your drabble):
MEMORY
MOUSTACHE
MAGAZINE
MEDALLION
MATINEE
PLEASE try to remember to make each drabble a comment in response to the original post. That way, if the comments start to collapse, the drabbles themselves should remain visible. Thanks.
The rules, such as they are:
1) A drabble is, by definition a 100 word story. As this is a drabble challenge and not a “snippet” challenge, all responses should be 100 words exactly, no exceptions.
2) I have been asked to keep this to a single posting a week to avoid cluttering people’s flists. So, drabbles will be posted as individual comments under the posting. IF you would like to post your drabble on your own LJ and link to it that’s all right too. Just put that link in a comment under the posting.
RATING: Rather than worrying about individual headings I’m just going to say that any drabbles posted for these challenges might be a Brown or even Red Cortina for content/language, so let the reader beware!
