Watch me zoom by

Finally had a chance to watch Rescue Me last night. Oh, oh yes. Yes. Very much yes. Yes, yes, oh God yes, Virginia. If you're not watching this yet, you so should. And we once again say thanks to the magic of Tivo for letting me catch the premiere ep on a rerun.

Things here in chez TBQ are busy. The virtual season (ats_nolimits) is gearing up for a premiere date of Sept 8, which means that right about now I need to quit my job and do this fulltime, or else take up smoking. It's insanity, but it's the good kind of insanity, and most importantly it's the kind that keeps me off the streets and I think we can all agree that that makes the world safer for democracy.

Tonight I get to talk to ros_fod on the phone. If she doesn't sound like Vinnie I'm going to assume I dialed the wrong number. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Over in hogwartsch they've announced what their version of Quidditch will be. Beaters, apparently, will be engaging in debate with the other team, so obviously I'm planning on trying out for a job as a seeker. Further bulletins as events warrant, or possibly not if I remain as busy as I am.

Monkeys!

The Patroit Act/SG1 thing

I've seen some people on my flist talking about this, so fwiw:

Federal Charges Filed Against SG-1 archive, wherein the Patriot Act is invoked to help prosecute somebody running a fansite, thus inspiring a few people to not be happy about what seems to be anti-terrorism mission creep.

However, more discussion can be found here, and here regarding what exactly the site did wrong, and how the account of the FBI raid being the "first" indication of there being a problem with the site might not be 100% true.

I'm not in Stargate fandom so I don't know any of these people from a hole in the ground, but others have been talking about it so I thought I'd put up the links. Don't have much use for them myself, so I'm happy to share. 8)
