Although I said to someone bts the other day that I shall abstain from political comment on my blog in the future, I just cannot keep quiet on the recent/current developments in the US, i.e. the Muslim Ban. Disclosure 1: I am *not* a US citizen, but I believe that world politics are significantly shaped…
Wake-y wake-y! It’s time for your regular Saturday update. How are you keeping, ladies and gents? Are you as glad as me that January is almost over (and not a horrible continuous funeral like last year)? I am sloooowly easing myself into the year. The flu is now fully gone (apologies for whining on about…
A little distraction as we are awaiting further confirmation on the participants in the next season of BS, and while we are coming down from the protests and discussions of the weekend! @mooseturds on Twitter has found something I had not seen before: B-roll from the BS press kit. OMG I just got my hands on…
Recently we discussed on me+r how and whether the political opinion of an the actor divides, unites, enhances or detracts from fandom. It fills me with much joy that I can write a post today that does not need the always slightly pejorative inclusion of the two little letters “OT” in front of the post title. This…
It was near impossible to ignore the inauguration of the tangerine nightmare yesterday.

I noticed with pleasure, that Richard…
How strange to think that being sick may come with a bonus. There is nothing nice about being struck down by the flu – and mine really was textbook, with all the trimmings – but at least it does one thing: It forces you into bed, incapacitated to do much else but watch tacky romantic drama courtesy…
Gee, it’s quiet. Rich is all but vanished. I was off the scene for a week, too, nursing a deeply annoying flu. Back in business since yesterday, but nonetheless, everything currently feels as if it is only running on half-steam. Somehow my brain must have gotten affected by the flu – I can’t concentrate on anything,…
Yes, I like to mix it up. The Weekly Round-up in its fourth iteration. Whew, can you believe it? This whole thing started at the beginning of 2014, an initiative by then-fan Agzy, who subsequently left the (public side of) fandom. So it wasn’t even my own idea, and yet, here I am still at it… The…
Ooops, six days in, and this is my first post of the year. I hasten to add a quick post before the routine round-up starts up, so happy new year to all of you – and may this year be better than last. It has to be. – I have just taken down my Christmas…
