Things That Are Cool

[heidi]

This. Yay for vidding, Firefly and Joss!

This. Yay for candy/LOTR!

This. (Thanks, praetorianguard!) And yay books!

This. (Thanks,danijo!) Huzzah for the 80s!

It's Friday! Something must be terrific, interesting, inspirational, fascinating or otherwise nifty for you right now. And there's probably something that's on the "less than" side, too.

ETA: For me, the non-nifty is gacked from DailyKos:

The watchdogs at Florida Citizens for Science find that Taylor County[, Florida] has passed a resolution:

[W]e are requesting that the State Board of Education direct the Florida Department of Education to revise/edit the new Sunshine State Standards for Science so that evolution is presented as one of several theories as to how the universe was formed.

Stupid people, get out of my state. I don't actually care if people choose to believe in creationism or intelligent design, but they should at least understand that the Big Bang theory deals with the creation of the universe, and evolution is a completely different concept.

Elvis-lution, on the other hand? Works for everyone! [/mojo nixon][/end ETA]

So...

Not one but two polls! The first asks what's thrilling you now, and your answers will be shared with the class. Tell about a community, a song, a film, a book, a food, a page on the internet, youtube vid, shiny thing - anything you want (although please warn if you're linking to something that's not work safe or something with spoilers for unaired eps of tv shows).

The second asks what's,well, not thrilling. And what you answer there is for my eyes only, so feel free to wibble, rant, grieve or show me the website, video clip, image - whatever - that you hate most.

I sent you an e-mail the other day (via heidi8@livejournal.com) and was wondering if you ever got it? I apologize if you just haven't had a chance to get to it, but I wanted to make sure it reached you.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

:( I am not seeing any emails from you. Could you put three consecutive words from it in the "does not want" poll and I'll look for it? Or resend it to heidi@heidi8.com.

[potthead.livejournal.com]

I re-sent it to heidi@heidi8.com just now. Let me know if it doesn't show up! :)

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Got it!

/random/ is it your birthday soon? I'd like to write you a birthday drabble if so? Or will something in the Dean F/Jess, Sam/Peter arena be fine? I am collecting birthday drabble prompts see ;))

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Yes, next week! Although I'll be traveling and not back until the 18th.

And swooooooon, yes, either of those prompts would be lovely! You're the sweetest!

Dean F/Peter or Jess/Sam are fine, too, you know.

[pheebs1.livejournal.com]

Hee, should I save and post on the 18th then?!

Awesome. and HEH thank you for clearing up the pairings. LOL. I feel like writing JESS so perhaps Jess/Dean or Jess/Sam LOL.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Squee!
And hmmm. If you see me posting from my trip, then I have internet access and will be reading the flist (journals, if not comms). If I don't post on the 13th, 14th or 15th, then yes, it would be lovely if you held it til the 18th!

[pheebs1.livejournal.com]

Okay. NOTED! :))

You should check out the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. (yes, it is somewhat valid to this post) I think you'd get a kick out of it. Polk and Pinellas counties, near where I am in Tampa(on) are two new victims of the evo/creation crack attack.

If nothing else, you'll get a laugh.

Hey, you still potentially interested in dinner on the 24th? I'm finally getting myself organized for vacation - I just found the email you sent me with your number. :) Let me know what your plans are, and we can hopefully plan something!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Yes, definitely! Call me after the 19th and we'll coordinate?
