Randomness in the morning...

This is very cool, if it is actually true: Syfy Portal is reporting that two other BSG actors may have cameos or supporting parts on The Bionic Woman, and one of them might be Mark Sheppard.

OK well I got some comments and emails about Apple TV yesterday that basically confirmed I do not want to get it.  Plus, on an even bigger scale, is this meta piece from Gizmodo that has convinced me I may just be better off setting up my own bizarre system (composed of linking my DVR, DVD, Camcorder, TV and Mac using various nefarious and semi-legal mean).  Whatever.  I'd be interested to hear what you all have set up in your homes.

As I said the other day, WAITRESS is a lovely film, and Nathan Fillion is great in it.  I was poking around the film's web site and found this quickie "chat with Nathan"...What's been your best date? "A blind date with a Canadian girl in LA." That's so cute. *g*

TGIF people!!!

Womens' fiction, advertising, and FanLib.com

I've been following a couple of big conversations via [community profile] metafandom for a while now and wanted to put my hat in the ring.

The first of those discussions has been about fanfic and why women writers flock to it...how it feeds a supposed inability for said women writers to become wealthy succesful writers...the so called "ghetto" of fanfic as a "trap" for women that supports keeping them from profiting from their work, etc.


Meanwhile the worm has turned and now the hivemind (of which I am proud to be a member) is focusing on the recently launched FanLib.com.  I can certainly appreciate the turmoil this is causing.
