who needs logic?

me: Ok, here's something I thought of. How did the terminators know to go after Kyle Reese if no one in the future knew that he was John Connor's father? brother: They must have found out when they went back in time... me:...and then they were all destroyed... brother: They must have twittered it back to the future. mood: amused, and still perplexed by twitter.

Magic tricks! Now you see logic, now you don't

This came up a few days ago, and I figured I'd share it before I go ahead and resume translating, because it's hilarious and relevant. A troll came from a troll forum to get her crazy all over my journal, explaining why Gino/Kallen was a terrible pairing, I was a terrible person, and I was also terrible at Japanese, and he/she/it was an incredibly unbiased source, being the pure essence of ...

Mnemovore: Nathan, Jean, Shiro, Monet, Marius, and Jean-Paul

...in skull, one eye forced from its socket, and that was too much. Marius spun away and vomited. After her years working in hospitals and the medlab, the smell was not what got to Jean. Shiro's logic was at the forefront of his mind, and even if she hadn't picked the idea up from him, the facts were inescapable. The second intuitive leap corresponded with yet another brief flicker of what might be ...

FIC: Gift for lyamainu :: At an Impasse

...of mourning the only land truly embroidered in her memory. She focused instead on her current objective: saving Serenity from herself. Some part of her brain that still abided by the rules of logic realized the insanity of her charge being more threatened by her own emotion than the massive army currently lusting for her body, preferably detached from her head. Endymion was probably off somewhere ...

Puts the 'Fun' in 'Fundie'!

...that attempts to use Hitler and "Darwin's racism" to discredit evolution entirely. Now, I'm not sure how either of these things would disprove evolution, but I'm not blessed with hyper-religious wacko logic. The real kicker is that they want to sell this book to schools: "We want to get one million copies into the hands of students and professors in colleges and universities throughout the U.S. ...

Quick meme!

Ok, five songs that I would take with me if I were going to be stuck on a desert island, and for some reason could only listen to five songs while I'm waiting to be rescued (don't apply logic, please). Miserere - Allegri I'm going to be able to sing that bloody high note before I get off that island, damnit. When I grow up, I'm going to be a real soprano. The Lovecats - The Cure There has to...

Be the change you want to see in the world.

... have not regretted it one bit. I don't intend to watch S3 so far but will still keep that show in my heart and remember it fondly. It was a fun ride, sometimes a bit ridiculous (forget the logic but who needs it anyway) but very entertaining. That title quote makes me somewhat melancholy and a bit sad, though. Now after being done there, I went on to Fringe . And when I'm finished with that ...

Star Trek XI Fic: Of Grief and Loss [6/6] (Spock/Uhura) PG-13

... and bearing no ill-will to those who abstained from said expressions.” He pauses as he is reminded of how true his father had been — how Vulcan emotions run deeper that human’s, requiring great skill and logic to control them all. Nyota’s hands cradle his face, encouraging him or comforting him — perhaps both. He covers her hands with his own as he goes on, “I will remember her fondly, Nyota, ...

... the nearest wall, there's no way Remus can stand through the entire encounter. For a second I worry about if it's right to fuck someone drunk enough they might not remember in the morning, but I decide with drunken logic that it's okay because I'm just as drunk, and maybe it'll be me that doesn't remember. I conjure lube and as I'm slicking myself up, Remus presses back. I know enough to know I ...

magickal utopian pedagogical Project, Draft 1.5 (MORE COMMENTS PLEASE!)

... in which I find it the hardest to poke holes is that I seem to be experiencing things. From this resistance to argument, I conclude that to experience things is the purpose of life. In somewhat circular logic, I find that this leads to a belief in active, intentful, and mindful participation and presence as a good. That is, my virtues, values, and ethics depend more on the how than the what, more...
