girls with penises? I want to live in that world, too...

Still procrastinating as much as blocked on writing more Gotham smut, still bogged down with entirely too much offline stuff-to-do (and annoyed with how much of my online time is being eaten up), still plodding my way tortoiselike through adding friends for my new filter (at this point? if you think you should be added and haven't, leave me a comment about it, and I probably will), still pathetically behind on comments, still likely to remain behind on reading other people's journals for the forseeable future.

Came across this at tsiankiio's LJ, though, and had to share it.

I'm looking forward to when bioengineering moves from technology to handicraft: biotech on the other side of necessity, where it enters the realm of nose piercing. People with tiny little goldfish swimming in one eye or feathers growing out of their backs. I'd love to be in a world where women grow penises because it is fashionable, or you can have an eye replacement of a different color or from a different species. All the adults will say, "Tut, tut, tut, girls never had penises in my day. We used to pierce our noses and lips. Why don't you do that?" And the kids will say, "Mom, you're so old-fashioned." All good technology should be used to piss off people's parents. --Neil Gaiman

Yeah, we love Unca Neil.

Avery Brooks! SQUEEEEEE!

This time tomorrow, I will be in New Haven, Connectiut, for the Yale Repertory Theatre's production of King Lear, starring Avery Brooks in the title role.

Yes. That Avery Brooks. With the eyes and the smile and the please bend me over something now and if I can't call you Captain Sisko how about Hawk?

(I've been lusting after this man since Spenser for Hire, yes. I watched obsessively for the 15 seconds every 5th episode where he would either show his eyes, or show his teeth.)

It's running through the 13th, and as of three o'clock this afternoon the remaining shows were not yet sold out.
