First of all: Yes, I know this list is subjective and flawed and that there's really no way to objectively judge what the greatest albums of all time are. I am going through this list in order to 1. Expand my musical horizon (I'm not really genre-bound when it comes to music, so a list like this is perfect for me) 2. For fun and 3.That's it, really. Yes, I do get obsessive about stuff, why do you ask?

I'm doing my best to do this chronologically (500 to 1), but that's not always possible, and there are albums I've already heard on the list, naturally.

Anyway, I'll make a note whenever I've finished another album, and will strike it out. I managed to *ahem* a good chunk over the past week or so.

I would like to wish all my flisters a happy Festivus! How have I disappointed you this year?

I all seriousness, though, I'd just like to wish everyone very happy holidays (whichever you celebrate). :)

Also, here's my fandom_stocking for your perusal/inspiration. There's a few things I forgot to include, such as The X-Files but that's basically the gist of it.*

*Although I did notice that I'm the only one to request Eight/Romana, which is sad 'cause it used to kind be the Eight/Anyone pairing, so yes please! :D And, obviously, what I said about Twelve/Romana.

At ca 06:40 in this vid you will see the greatest moment in cinema history. I'm serious.

Taken from john_amend_all :

Pick a number and I'll give you my top five women in that category.

1. Protagonists
2. Villains
3. Superheroes
4. Magical Girls
5. Queens/Empresses/Royalty
6. Who are adorable dorks
7. That I'd invite to a sleepover/dinner party
8. That I'd want to go on an adventure with
9. That I'd want to be friends with
10. That I'd want to kiss
11. That I will love till the end of time
12. Who I think deserved better endings
13. That I wish had better development/writing
14. That I wish had a better love interest(s)
15. Whom I want to rescue from their horrible narratives

Now, are there any Miroslav Klose ''Deal with It'' gifs? ;D

Mulder has the biggest man-crush on Deep Throat.

Then again, don't we all? Deep Throat was the shit.

As expected, Richard III will be buried at Leicester, where his remains were found.

The reaction in certain quarters is priceless.

Happy birthday, jjpor!

Have a good one! :)

So, I decided to read The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory because I thought it might be good for a laugh. So far, she's doing her usual Madonna/Whore dichotomy with Mary I being sweetness and light and Princess Elizabeth basically being a clone of her mother from The Other Boleyn Girl. Y'know, conniving, malicious, husband-stealy. And the protagonist, Hannah, is basically Mary Boleyn from TOBG: smug, judgmental, hypocritical, Mary Sue-ish etc (but she's not meant to be!).

And this woman calls herself a ''radical feminist''.

I think I just might do a spork of this book at some point.

Okay, so this will surely be an unmitigated disaster, considering my lack of talent/creativity/imagination and attention-span but I can't resist anyway.

Thieved from jjpor:

1. Comment to this post with "I surrender!" and I'll assign you the basis of some TV show idea. (Science fiction show, medical drama, criminal procedure, etc...)
2. Create a cast of characters, including the actors who'd play them.
3. Add in any actor photos, character bios and show synopsis that you want.
4. Post to your own journal.

Or you could even post to the isurrendered communities on both Livejournal
and Dreamwidth...!
