movies i want list. this could be a meme, but no one would copy it i'm sure.

So, I keep a running list of DVDs to buy when possible/when I feel like buying DVDs/when we walk by a display and see they aren't that expensive.

I tend to assume that everyone is like me, at least if they are inveterate consumers of media and don't always, immediately, buy everything they want. I'd be interested to see anyone else's lists like this. Which is funny, because before I met my boo the only TV shows I'd admit at gunpoint were good would have been Star Trek, The West Wing, and Due South, and The West Wing would never have made a list of things to own, while you couldn't convince me to watch tv on a daily basis for anything less than Original Series K/S, not even TNG. I guess even someone with a short attention span and a 100x preference for the written word can become somewhat accustomed (addicted?) to moving pictures on the screen.

mpreg discussion

Here's an amusing, but at the moment still rather small, debate thrown open for bitching about problems and inaccuracies with mpreg. "I just hate anything to do with mpreg!" hasn't really come up yet, but I guess once you've read ten or fifteen of them you're qualified to comment on a more specific basis, anyway.

Kitty Pidgin / TxtMsg dictionaries

"Yay! I can has operator services!" I said to Wax, as my phone beeped to tell me my airtime refill had arrived. Then I thought, 'Why doesn't the sms just say, 'YES U CAN HAS AIRTIME'? It'd save space and be funny'. Then I thought about the phone's sms-creator dictionaries that allow for auto completion. My phone has English, Swedish, and a few others. Wouldn't it be great, I thought, if it had Kitty Pidgin?

And then I thought further: why not TxtMsg? You know the majority of text messagers save time by writing all smses in that shorthand anyway. It would save even more time if auto complete could be automatically set to follow it.

Do I really not have a linguistics tag? Well, oops. That was an embarrassing lack of forethought... I should probably go back and make a lolcat one too.

A little random thought

Salt Craving

If you're not a salt fiend, you can skip this. I have salt cravings so intense I could salt practically anything; the craving's visceral, probably genetic or something. It's hard to satisfy this. My craving doesn't demand fried foods, but fried foods like potato chips and french fries are often the best vehicles for salt.
