I'm watching American Gangster with J1, and I have but one thing to say about the way this story is framed: it is amazing how the story can be presented to make one side more sympathetic than the other.

Still on holiday. More interesting links.

+ thelastgoodname "Ways in which other people's fannish experience is not like mine, or, unpopular opinions?"
+ crossroads_lore "Some Considerations (in Defense) of Supernatural's Malleus Maleficarum from a Feminist" (I haven't actually read this one, but that episode upset me so much I want to come back to this, and see if I can view it in a way which means I don't hate the writers and characters.)

Yesterday I went with J1 and sister K to visit brother M and sister K's best friend, who live in the same town. We had really good food, lots of laughter, and a ton of geekiness as K studied statistics in the car while I studied future interests. It was good times, let me tell you. Saturday night, J1 and sister K made homemade mac & cheese and grilled chicken for sister C, J2, and me. We played a long, drawn-out round of Trivial Pursuit.

I am enjoying vacation.
