It turns out that I created this journal to post my fannish stuff, and then promptly quit posting fannish stuff. I haven't made a DW post since July 29! Sheesh.

So, TV: Hell's Kitchen, No Reservations (Anthony Bourdain), Glee (I've always loved musicals, and envy people who can sing and dance), most of season 5 of Weeds (Oh, Nancy!), and I need to catch up with Big Bang Theory,

DVDs: The last season of Due South (mmm, CKR and Oh, Fraser, you goofball), Suspicion (Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine, and OMG so glad we've been liberated since then), lots of Band of Brothers (DH is rewatching).

Music, Movies: No Report

Books: Nada, except I re"read" Heat by Bill Buford (audio book) and am all inspired by italian cooking again.

Fanfic: Pretty much rereading all my faves in Due South, SGA, and all of Astolat's Supernatural, plus her new Idol RPF. Seriously, WTF? I don't DO RPF/S, except for when Astolat writes it. And I thought her Cook/Archuleta was sexy and charming last year, but her "Kradam" (Kris Allen/Adam Lambert) is totally smoking. I must report I have reserved a luxury box in hell. Want to join me? Also enjoying the DW comm: singularity (Star Trek reboot).

In other fannish news: Last weekend at our annual Oktoberfest, some of the WisCon book club members (you know who you are, LOL) introduced my co-worker to the concepts of slash in general and Wincest in particular. I was pretty shocked by this turn of events, but he (HE!) is a pretty open minded guy, and he has mostly women in his life (he's a fraternal twin, he's married and has 3 girls). So he rolled with it, and there was much hilarity. It gets better though. He shared with the group that his nephew is Eric Szmanda. That's right, his nephew plays Greg Sanders on CSI! So awhile later, I hear one of my friends say to co-worker, "gee, I bet there's even been slash written about your nephew..." at which point, 4 faces turn to look at me for confirmation. And what can I say, but "Oh my god, yes. Yes there is slash written about your nephew." Then I jumped up and ran to the other side of the bonfire, where I confessed to emorog this horrifying truth, "Not only is there slash written about his nephew, but *I've* written some of it!" Of course, I had to follow up with "I've written about the character he plays! Not him personally! ewww!" LOL.

As much as I love all of my friends, I was very glad to have you all finally drift away so that conversation could come to an end. Except of course, I had to check in with co-worker on Monday morning to see how traumatized he was. And yay, he wasn't. He said he had an excellent time and enjoyed hanging out with all y'all. By then I had learned that my WiPoly friends had also introduced him to the concept of polyamory (reported by DH) and he had rolled with that one too. There was just a touch of confusion later on, when he turned to emorog and mentioned "your ex-wife."
emorog: um, no, she's my current wife.
me: his *only* wife.
co-worker: But, but, there's that other gentleman, 'W?' (and we didn't realize at the time that W and N had already explained the parentage of the 3 boys).
emorog does not say: Yes, he took the boys home with N for some quality time, and I stayed here to catch some quality time with my girlfriend.
co-worker (turns to me): what am I missing? Don't leave me in the dark.
me with deer in the headlights look to emorog: Ummm....
emorog: Yes, he's our friend from Eau Claire. He hangs out with us a lot. Any questions?
co-worker: No. I'm good.

And lo, he was good. He had finally connected the dots from the two earlier conversations, realized the 6 of them were a family unit and didn't need any further details. But I'm really glad no one else from work showed up. I don't think I would have survived it.

Huh

no subject

Wow
