kaffy_r: A typical day in the BSG!verse (Frakkin' Watchtower)

Dept. of WTF

 Because Really .. WTF?

1. My brother will have having quintuple bypass surgery Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. I'm still painfully in the dark by my lights - although not by my little brother's - and wish I could just get the fuck up there. Can't, so I'll pray down here. I've talked to Mum a bit, as well. 

2. I got into this here Intarwebz fandom and far more than that, through a site called Television Without Pity. That was back in 2006. I learned ... so much from the people I met there, gained so much from them, learned about myself. It's shutting down next week.  I'll write about that more later, when I'm not a scattered mess. It seems so odd that that is weighing on my mind as much as Mac's bypass surgery. The mind does weird things, doesn't it? Weird fucking things. And yes, the word "fuck" seems to be the only one I can think of using. 

More. Later. Probably.

I've become a Rarity fan in spite of myself. :)

I'm so sorry about your brother. Sending lots of good wishes.

I'm kinda torn up about TWoP. And I don't think I've actually visited the site in over a year. But like you . . . it's a lot of history. I actually thought about you when I heard about it. Who will share my pain about this? Well, my sister, and Kaffyr.

Oh jeez. I hope his surgery goes well and you get some more info soon.

Ohhh, gods, honey!! I am keeping him in my thoughts. Hope you get more info soon.

Damn. REALLY? That's just...really? They are shutting it down? *Blinks* I can see why the mind chose this to focus on though. Sometimes it is easier to think on something that SEEMS 'less' (though it isn't - tis hurtful, but in a different way), other than gnash itself to death on something you cannot control.

*HUGS YOU HARD*

Quintuple? Quintuple! I'm trying to remember if I've ever even heard of a quintuple bypass. It's starting to sound like they'll be weaving a folk dance pattern around the ins and outs of his heart. "Next it's an allemande left..."

For distraction, I invite you to consider other folk dance steps as descriptors of the steps involved in bypass surgery. Basket, dip, dive, flutter wheel...just so long as they stay away from the pot hooks.

Love you, dear.

I hope the surgery goes well, and that he gives you more information! *hugs*

I'm so sad about Television without Pity. Like, it never occurred to me that it might go away!

Ack, sending all the good thoughts and energy your way, and to your brother.

How weird about TWOP - I haven't been there since Lost was airing, but it will be strange to think it has gone away.

Good grief. Quintuple?!
Continuing to pray for him, and your whole family.

Yeah, I am very sad and confused/miffed about TWoP. I will miss a lot of things about it, and a lot of people!

ah, the only word which can be any of the parts of speech: "Fuck! The fucking fucker's fucked!"

Sending heaps and heaps of karmic good wishes to him and to you....

Yeah, it's amazing to think how much has changed since the Ninth Doctor's TV run and our first online conversations.
I will definitely check back to see what the LINDA folks have been discussing as an alternative place to hang out. That's the last meet market I care about at all on TWoP!

I had no idea TWOP was shutting down. I'm fairly gutted. I go there for reactions to everything from movies to the Olympics. How will we survive without the snark? The internet will be a poorer place without it. : (
