Laughing until I'm wheezy

[aprilstarchild]

Y'know, I say that all the time: "I laughed until I wheezed," but I'm not exaggerating--I can laugh until I start coughing and wheezing. Anyway.

Berlynn-wohl posts the kinkmeme's greatest hits!

Many (many!) fandoms have kinkmemes, which are LJ comms with posts where people leave fic prompts and people reply with fics or seconding or talking about said prompts. I find negotiating the kinkmeme confusing as hell (no, don't try to explain it, a dozen people have tried and aaaugh I just get more confused) but I've read plenty of stories that people linked to from the kinkmeme.

Anon posting is allowed, and so people really go bonkers asking for freaky shit. Some of which is also hilarious. The link is to berlynn-wohl's collection of screenshots from the kinkmeme--all of which are fucking HYSTERICAL. (For the non-tumblr people--click on the big image at the beginning of each post, and the image pops up bigger, and lets you click through to the next one.)

I've read these. Repeatedly. Still crack up laughing.

Definite advantage of not dating Shawn: No longer any reason not to marathon new Doctor Who. We'd stalled out at the end of the first season of Ten, and today I got two episodes into his second season! YESSSSSS. And it was with a bunch of geek friends, EVEN BETTER. God. I love y'all. I mean really.

We also watched Triplets of Belleville, which was fabulous.

The middle son and I have gotten up to nearly the end of Ten's tenure, I think. We've been watching after spouse goes to work so we can sit in my bedroom. Unfortunately, I fall asleep sometimes, so I'm going to have to watch a few over again.

It's kind of strange. We watch it on my Nook which doesn't have the greatest sound, so sometimes we turn on the subtitles. And while the show is always a bit corny, for some reason it seems even cornier when I'm reading the subtitles as well. Still fun though.

Given a choice, I watch absolutely everything with subtitles on. I have a mild auditory processing problem, and if people have an accent, I miss anywhere from a third to half of what they say. Or more--I tried watching the UK version of The Office and did not understand 80% of it. And I couldn't figure out entire conversations in Parade's End.

I no longer have to watch Sherlock with subtitles....but only because I've memorized so much of it. I'm dreading watching S3, because there's no way I'm not streaming it as it airs in the UK, and nobody turns the captions on during livestreams, and his deduction monologues will be totally fucking lost on me.

Another advantage to captions, of course, is that you can talk during whatever you're watching. Which the bunch of us do. Nearly constantly. But they weren't used to watching Who with captions, so they giggled at "Doctor Who theme plays" at the beginning. Or "whooshing sound" for the TARDIS. Or "crowd mumbling." Which is of course just meant to reassure hearing-impaired people that yes, people's lips are moving, but what they're saying isn't important, you're not missing anything.
