Stupid brain

[donutsweeper]

Yes, it is very important to spend two hours researching the difference between a geological survey and a geographic survey so I can use the right term when Jack dismisses the data presented to him via the report in a brief sentence. 

And no, I'm not wasting time on the minutia because it puts off figuring out the specifics behind the evil alien, or how Jack is going to solve things and what's going to happen next- that's just a bonus.

Anyone have a brain that is functioning?  Mine appears to be stuck on spin cycle.

I'd take your introduction over mine any day.

Mine? Hanson. I really despised some of my friends in high school after that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh MY, I simply can't fathom that. Just... no thank you

I think that's why I didn't really get back into fandom 'til Heroes. Well, I did Harry Potter, but, uh, let's just say I got sick of those people rather quickly.

I have heard, unpleasant I guess the word for it is, unpleasant things about the HP fandom.

There's this whole "book vs. movie" divide and quite a few 13-year-old girls.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've run into similar 13 yr olds (or those acting like that) with Doctor/Rose batshippers and some weird NCIS fanthings. No thank you.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. The Doctor/Rose shippers. I tend to stay far away from them.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

they are SCARY

speaking of scary- I found the oddest, most hysterically terribly disturbing thing on badfic_quotes. You have to read it. Um, or not, considering that build up.

consider yourself warned... it's here (http://community.livejournal.com/badfic_quotes/134405.html#cutid1)

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That one is LEGENDARY over there.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I *just* learned about it from fanficrants. I can't believe someone actually wrote it! just... WHY?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I don't even want to think about why.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

probably for the best. disturbing on MANY levels

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yes.

I'm watching TW DVD extras for "Captain Jack Harkness". Yay!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I haven't had time to watch my TW DVDs yet. stupid bigbang taking up all my free time!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

They're fun. I could do without the menu music, however.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the menus for all the DW's is annoying, doesn't surprise me TW's is too.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I could do without hearing the TW theme-song for awhile.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

why do they make the loading of dvds and the menus so annoying?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I don't know. To make you click on the content faster?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

lol- you maybe onto something there

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

LMAO...GDL drools in "End Of Days" and John makes sure to point this out in the commentary.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

seriously? I can't wait to listen to the commentary

[pointytilly.livejournal.com]

Oh man, annoying DVD menus. When I watch on my computer I load DVDs sans menus because I got sick of them...especially the ones with animation you can't skip that plays every time.

And hey, when I play them with no menu at all there's the fun adventure of "Which title has the content? Who put the actual episode THERE?" :p.

I think my brain's stuck on spin cycle too. That or it's wandered off again!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that's smart- playing it without the menus. I'll have to think about figuring out how to do that!

[pointytilly.livejournal.com]

In VLC Media Player, it's File - Open Disc, then select plain "DVD" instead of "DVD (with menus)". It'll play straight up from the start, and to get to other bits you can muck about with the titles/chapters in the video menu, treasure hunt style. Fun :D.

(Disclaimer: I am a bit peculiar, so my idea of fun might be a bit off.)
