octavia butler

Octavia E. Butler is dead. I've admired her work for a long time; I can think of few other science fiction writers who dealt with feminism and race like her. I think I'll be rereading a lot of her stuff soon.

My favorites of her work:
Kindred
Parable of the Sower
Bloodchild and Other Stories

"i'm with chiana now, john."

liviapenn made me an Aeryn icon, YAY. I have gotten through two more episodes so far today --"My Three Crichtons", which seems to indicate that normal!Crichton is the best of all possible ones, and "Look at the Princess Part 1: A Kiss is Just a Kiss", which involved HAIR-SMELLING and MAKING OUT. Along with, you know, 45 minutes worth of plot. Heh.

Anyway, I am officially at the halfway mark for season 2! Which means I have watched eleven episodes in just over two days. Plus I will probably manage another one or two before Grey's Anatomy tonight. Man, even Arrested Development took me longer than this to whiz through!

me = such a dork

Eeeeeee, and omg, the end of "The Maltese Crichton!" I am a mess of fangirl bits! It is like the ship to end ALL SHIPS. (Except that I have never seen X-Files, and fandom has given me the distinct impression that that title actually belongs to Mulder/Scully, but whatever. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE.)

Also, MOYA.
