[i'm a bit screwed.]

So, I was social last night! I mean, not that I normally stay at home on the weekends, but this was a bit different.

I went to an open-air production of Much Ado About Nothing in Spokane that happened to feature a lot of my classmates (and one professor) from EWU Theatre. It was a lot of fun! They staged it post-WWII, so all the "soldiers" were in period appropriate costumes and anyone who knows me knows how much I love 40s-era military uniforms.

Yeah, I was swooning on the inside.

The production itself was pretty good. The girl who played Beatrice was... frankly... not, which is sad, because it's Beatrice. Any one of the two girls from Eastern who were in the play would have been perfect. IDK.

I went by myself, but happened to find a few other friends from EWU in the audience from various departments and sat with them. After the play, all us EWU folk went to dinner and had a really great time just hanging out and eating ridiculous bar food.

This is all set up to the main purpose of this post: confusing!boy.

Stolen from calapine and anonymityblaize:




Below is a list of all the shows mentioned in Mitch Benn's I'm Proud of the BBC. Bold = love (or have loved) it, Plain text = neutral, Strike through = never seen / listened to.

I know my list is a little incomplete since I'm a bloody Yank and didn't discover Auntie Beeb proper until about six years ago, but I would gladly pay any license fee I was required if I were to get the shows that I do love and the ones I know I will love but just need to sit down and watch.

And also it would keep me in a job, if I ever make it to London and work at Radio 1. ;)

[friends of friends friending meme.]

- Do you have cool people on your flist that have other cool people as friends?
- Have you seen these people around for months, possibly years, but yet you've been too scared to friend those friends yourself?

Well, have we got a friending meme for you!


FriendsofFriendsFriendingMeme



HTML for link back to the meme:


Feel free to copy and paste the handy dandy html underneath the cut into your own personal comment and start that friending! All questions are optional, but the goal behind this meme is to clean up those "loose threads" that may be around your friends list, so don't be shy!

[notice of impending cut.]

According to my friends list tag, it's been almost two years since my last flist trim, and I'm feeling it. Too many communities (20 for Star Trek alone), too many people that I don't talk to anymore...

And that's not fair to you or me. So, I'm doing a flist trim. This doesn't apply to the friends garnered from the BoB meme, since you've only been here less than a week.

I'm screening comments if anyone wants to say anything. I always say this, but it's always LJ Amnesty Day around here. I never want you to feel like you need to be here of out some sense of obligation. I want your LJ experience to be a good one, and I hope you wish the same for me.

Now back to your regularly scheduled flisting...

[i've got a question.]

I'm now up to 42 Star Trek icons! And only 8 icon slots out of 198 free.

I HAVE A SYNDROME.

However, I do have a question, poll style!

Okay, so most of you should know that Jenny Garner is my homegirl ever since Alias, and with this new ST 'verse headed up by her old boss JJ, and her uncanny resemblance to one Majel Barrett, she's considered my Top Pick for one Head Nurse Christine Chapel, if we were to see her in the sequal. I did however find this exquisite manip of Bryce Dallas Howard as Chapel (icon by halfpast_icons), and I couldn't stop myself.

Thus, a poll.


Poll #1441921 [not a throw-away line.]
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All. Participants: 2

Who would you cast as the new Christine Chapel?

[because i can't remember my icon journal password.]

I never got to those Coldplay icons I promised last year over @ L_I, but I can't turn away from smart, pretty people. Katee Sackhoff joined BSG composer Bear McCreary on stage at the CA Plaza in June and the San Diego House of Blues in July, and pretty pictures were achieved!

And, once again, I am the Queen of One (or Four) Picture iconspams. :)


5 Katee Sackhoff - CA Plaza
5 Katee Sackhoff and Bear McCreary - CA Plaza
2 Katee Sackhoff and Bear McCreary - House Of Blues


Teasers:

- Textless icons are not bases.
- Comment. Credit either crediniaeth or liberty_icons.
- No. Hotlinking. Period.

[earth to Ahmadinejad.]

Apologies for the double posting:




If you are reading this right now, you have more luxury than someone in Iran could ever hope for right now. If you are watching TV or a video on youtube, updating your status on Facebook, Tweeting, or even texting your friend, you are lucky. If you are safe in your home, and were able to sleep last night without the sounds of screaming from the rooftops, you need to know and understand what is happening to people just like you in Iran right now.



They are not the enemy. They are a people whose election has been stolen. For the first time in a long time, a voice for change struck the youth of Iran, just as it did for many people in the United States only seven months ago. Hossein Mousavi gained the support of millions of people in Iran as a Presidential candidate. He stands for progressiveness. He supports good relations with the West, and the rest of the world. He is supported with fervor as he challenges the oppressive regime of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

On Friday, millions of people waited for hours in line to vote in Iran's Presidential election. Later that night, as votes came in, Mousavi was alerted that he was winning by a two-thirds margin. Then there was a change. Suddenly, it was Ahmadinejad who had 68% of the vote - in areas which have been firmly against his political party, he overwhelmingly won. Within three hours, millions of votes were supposedly counted - the victor was Ahmadinejad. Immediately fraud was suspected - there was no way he could have won by this great a margin with such oppposition. Since then, reports have been coming in of burned ballots, or in some cases numbers being given without any being counted at all. None of this is confirmed, but what happened next seems to do the trick.



The people of Iran took the streets and rooftops. They shout "Death to the dictator" and "Allah o akbar." They join together to protest. Peacefully. The police attack some, but they stay strong. Riots happen, and the shouting continues all night. Text messaging was disabled, as was satellite, and websites which can spread information such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and the BBC are blocked in the country. At five in the morning, Arabic speaking soldiers (the people of Iran speak Farsi) stormed a university in the capital city of Tehran. While sleeping in their dormitories, five students were killed. Others were wounded. These soldiers are thought to have been brought in by Ahmadinejad from Lebanon. Today, 192 of the university's faculty have resigned in protest.

Mousavi requested that the government allow a peaceful rally to occur this morning - the request was denied. Many thought that it would not happen. Nevertheless, first a few thousand people showed up in the streets of Tehran. At this point, it is estimated that 1 to 2 million people were there. Mousavi spoke on the top of a car. The police stood by. For a few hours, everything was peaceful. Right now, the same cannot be said. Reports of injuries, shootings, and killings are flooding the internet. Twitter has been an invaluable source - those in Iran who still know how to access it are updating regularly with picture evidence. People are being brutally beaten. Tonight will be another night without rest for so many in Iran no older than I am. Tonight there is a Green Revolution.
