The Hugo nominees are making the rounds of my Friends list, and the full list is up on [livejournal.com profile] makinglight. I note with great pleasure that Serenity is one of the contenders for Best Dramatic Presentation, Long Form--and that three, count 'em, THREE episodes of Ninth Doctor are up for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form, along with "Pegasus" from second season BSG. I may have to fill out at least a partial ballot this year just to get in a vote for Serenity. :D And much as I like me some BSG, I think all three of the Doctor contenders ("Dalek", "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances", and "Father's Day") beat out "Pegasus" for me, though I will grant that "Father's Day" and "Pegasus" are close contenders. Me, I'm hoping for "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances", because day-em, that was a hell of a story.

Meanwhile, for the GBS fans on my Friends list, you should really go read the latest post of From the Road on greatbigsea.com, in which Alan The Doyle relates his adventures in early morning cell phone disturbances and winding up naked in a hotel hallway. Bwahaha! ^_^

And also, snurched from [livejournal.com profile] technoshaman, I have to bring you this link which relates that Cecilia Fire Thunder, President of the Oglala Sioux Tribe on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, is deeply, deeply pissed at the abortion ban they've passed there. And has vowed to open a Planned Parenthood clinic on her own land within reservation boundaries. All I have to say about this is GO CECILIA! Also, 'Fire Thunder'? FABULOUS surname. ^_^

[livejournal.com profile] kathrynt, who rocks like a great big rocking thing in orbit, followed up on the news of Cecilia Fire Thunder's reaction to the South Dakota abortion ban by actually calling the office of the Oglala Sioux Tribe and speaking with Ms. Fire Thunder herself.

She has obtained permission to post contact data if you'd like to send words of support and donations. Check it out over here.

And on a lighter note, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] otoselkie, I bring you The Complex and Terrifying Reality of Star Wars Fandom. Which is to say, quote, 'Star Wars fans hate Star Wars'.

I think this guy's got it nailed. ;)
