I'm sure it's possible to get more geeky. It's just hard to think how.



"I wouldn't play you even to save the world."
"But would you play me to destroy it?"


Attribute the lines to anyone you damn well want. XD

In other news, I've been playing around with [livejournal.com profile] only_fiction nearly all day, trying to get tags lined up and indented in the sidebar. I did find something that would work for it, but it required me having a paid account and I am not getting a paid account for my fic journal. Nope, no way. I'll fiddle around with it some more tomorrow.

Plus, I now have an awesome Mac/Vista icon, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] xinda and inspired by Allow which is a slashy Mac/Vista fic based off the this commercial. Yes, she wrote a fic that's over 6K of words based on a thirty-second commercial, and she made it interesting. Warning, fic in question might not be for the faint of heart since it portrays the two networking in great detail, but if you can take explicit slash, go for it.

[livejournal.com profile] googlebrat's Cybersex fic is still the best long series of techslash that I've ever read, though. It's what got me squeeing over Alienware, after all! Unlike the above rec, though, this fic is about real PCs and Macs and Linux and so geeky that it made me squee with every little injoke that I actually got.

In semi-geeky talk, I finally watched Spiderman 2 today, squeed a little more over Kyle Rayner (I will soon make a post saying why even non-comics people need to love him), and preened about the fact that [livejournal.com profile] xinda is very likely to visit me for AnimeBoston since my parents said that I can send her a hundred dollars to help with travel costs and a roundtrip plane ticket isn't much more than that. XDDD It'll be so awesome if she and Muse-y can make it.

I also stumbled across a fic that's Seto(YGO)/Lex(Smallville). This mostly amused me because not only do I like Smallville and have YGO as one of my main fandoms (despite [livejournal.com profile] katarik tempting me to the DC side, evil thing ^_~), but I've been RPing Ryuuji/Lex and Seto/Ryuuji lately. Though I really do think that Seto and Lex are alike and that the fic works well for what they were like when they were young. The author clearly has a good grasp on Seto and the driving forces behind him, and her Lex is precisely as w00bie-like as he is in the show.

Also, on a slash level, the Green Goblin in the first Spiderman movie is so, so gay. He's so gay, it even affects Norman and makes him slink on all fours, crawling over his own rug. I mean, if the mirror scene isn't slashy, I don't know what is. Speaking of which, I absolutely loved the actor there -- he did a fantastic job of changing his facial expressions to make the person in the mirror look completely different from himself. Green Goblin, sans costume, is disturbingly sexy. Why are the psychos always the cute ones?

I'm usually hard to please with movie-adaptions of source material that I love (one example being LotR, another being Catwoman), but the first Spiderman movie was pretty good. XD The second failed to reel me in as tightly, and I thought that Peter walking away from a guy he could see being beaten in front of him was kinda off-base, but the first was definitely good. Worth watching in my opinion, anyway.

Ooh! Fiction journal's looking good! Congrats on what you DO have done :D

I still need to read that fic, but AFTER my long list of "I must do" things that I've given myself and have received from others XD

And... I should make more Mac/PC and Mac/Guardian icons. Seriously xD

And Muse-y? Mew~?

Oooh a crossover like that? Interesting. Though, I haven't watched Smallville (and don't have much interest to *sweatdrop* Though, I'm curious, but uncertain... Maybe one day I will... I keep bouncing back and forth between wanting to and not...) and ....

... xD I am still utterly amusing about the "Gay Goblin". My words, still amused here. Oh yes, wasn't he good? *nods* ... xD Okay, you can have him :D

I've heard Catwoman sucks and was not anything like ANY of the comic versions, but I still want to watch it.

Oh yes, so you've seen the second now, ne? Now the third should be coming out in... May, I think.

Seconded, Catwoman was supposed to be agile and cool, not particularly sexual. I didn't watch it because of the shorts+poster. Avoiding it like the plague (Which I really really try to avoid, believe me ^^).

Yay! Thank you. XD I think that I might have to give up on the tags thing, but that's mostly because now I've started messing around with my personal journal. *dies*

And yeah, focus on the XP you now have! And make more techslash icons, they're COOL!

Muse-y, I explained over MSN.

Smallville starts off good, gets sucky but delivers consistantly good eye candy, at least. I'm watching mostly because I hate dropping things.

HE IS THE GAY GOBLIN. AND HE WANTS TO TURN THE WHOLE WORLD GAY.

Catwoman really did suck. She was a dominatrix prostitute and a jewel-thief originally, and had NO magical powers, and THE MOVIE IGNORED ALL OF THAT. Seriously, nothing in common with the comics at all.

And yeah, that's why I went to get the second one! I saw the poster for the first and it looked like it would have Venom which would just be SO COOL.

It does look awesome <3

xD I need to make TONS of icons now.

X_x Hmm... so do I, that's why I'm reluctant to get into things.

xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD HA HA.

xDDDDDDDDDDD I'm very amused by that... wording.

Oooh *nods* it does :D

*much huggling*

Those lines sound like something you'd say. Is it fine if I just attribute them to you and leave it like that ^^.

I'm laughing so hard at that Mac/Vista thing XD. How did it slip under my radar so bad? Ooohhh, and guess who has Beryl working ^^. My windows don't just close, they burn away. I have a cube for a desktop and I can use all sides to put whatever I'm working on XD. ITS SO AWESOME THAT IT MY MACHINE CAN'T TAKE IT AND IT CRASHES X ^^ (which isn't good, I need to work on this <_<). But seriously cool, doesn't slow anything down either and it puts those Mac graphics to shame. ...Hmm, but I diverge from the point a bit there. Cool icon, a little bit... erm... they didn't come off as lovers to me. It takes more imagination on my part I guess. I'd better read a bit more Cybersex stuff, I've put it off for a while now. Meh, give it till tomorrow. I still think the first Spiderman just had bad lines, I don't care if they follow canon, it just comes off as corny. Glad you liked it none the less, an entertaining movie for my love gets my thumbs up, even if I hate it ^^. Just wish there were good movies that came out these days aye. I'm just not impressed with much. Last one I liked was Lord of War, but that was too damned serious *sigh*.

...I just discovered I can't take explicit slash... well, not in this case anyway. Maybe its just that I don't want to mix computers and sex like that in my head. Still, the warning was enough to draw me to *try* read it ^^.

Love yah!

PC/Mac slash.

::dies::

That is incredible.

[identity profile] fickle-goddess.livejournal.com 2007-02-12 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
PC/Mac slash is awesome but you know what's even more awesome? Linux/Alienware. It's practically my OTP now.
