Likemindedness is the new proximity. Proximity, again →. March 5, 2014 · 9:01 am. Back when the show was good. And I have a lot of unpopular fandom opinions (so many that I have a tag for those too), so I figure why not own this one? Sure, it’s gotten me in some hot water with other fans on Tumblr I’ve been told that tag is wank and I’ve been grumbled about as a malcontent (which . . . yes, that’s precisely what I am. duh? Resolution and for the writers and producers to be brave enough to end it, really ...

Whole episodes draaaaag, and then a bunch of exciting shit happens in one ep! And then zomg huge emotional episode! Followed next week by . . . fluffy filler? I mean, I’m also not experiencing paroxysms of best. episode. ever. Continue reading →. Comments Off on representation and the real girl. Which you should a...

a fan studies crisis of the existential kind | likemindedness is the new proximity
https://newproximity.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/fan-studies-crisis
Likemindedness is the new proximity. Adventures in prewriting →. March 25, 2015 · 11:58 pm. A fan studies crisis of the existential kind. In some regard, I don’t have a stake in this I’m not, and don’t want to be, in the academy. I don’t need tenure. I’ll never teach students to “do” fan studies. Seen another way, though, I am. The stake in this independent scholarship is. My fan practice, it’s how I fangirl. I am the “beyond.”. Who gets to do the labeling? Who proposed that perhaps it’s more usefu...

My Musical Career – Shatnerian
https://shatnerian.wordpress.com/2014/12/16/my-musical-career
Assorted nerdery and general parental fails from Montreal's West Island. The “band,” such as it was, went through a few different names like The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test before settling on Ugly Ties and Nuclear Bombs. A news item from the old hometown recently sparked a memory. An Anglican church located on the city’s west side is up for sale. But hey, we thought of it first. The following year, I abandoned music for stand-up comedy with even more embarrassing results. December 16, 2014. You'll j...

Assorted nerdery and general parental fails from Montreal's West Island. Let’s Judge the Other Parents, Shall We? 8220;I didn’t say I liked it. I said it fascinated me. There is a great difference.”. Because I know my wife and her love of car crash reality shows, I set the PVR last night to tape. The Extreme Guide to Parenting. Which airs in Canada on Slice. One parent believes her son, who has ADHD, is an Indigo Child and she practices aromatherapy to help him deal with it as opposed to, say, finding pr...

Samosas, denied! – Shatnerian
https://shatnerian.wordpress.com/2007/02/05/samosas-denied
Assorted nerdery and general parental fails from Montreal's West Island. It was about 13 years ago that I spent a year at the Fredericton campus at UNB. Saturday mornings were spent at the local farmer’s market. Where my breakfast routine would consist of a bag of Patel’s super hot chicken samosas, a giant cup of fair trade coffee, and the Saturday Globe and Mail. While it was crowded in my day, apparently the line ups are so long now that people are finding it impossible to move about inside the building.

It sounds like the set up for a bad joke: How long does it take for an introvert to realize she’s lonely? The answer’s not really funny, though. In my case, it was years. I feel like this is my AA moment Hi, my name is Shannon, and I’m a recovering overachiever and silent sufferer. (Feel free to chime in: “Hi, Shannon.”). Share on Facebook (Opens in new window).

August Catch-Up – Shatnerian
https://shatnerian.wordpress.com/2015/08/07/august-catch-up
Assorted nerdery and general parental fails from Montreal's West Island. It’s been since last December when I last updated this thing. Much of the house is painted now and a new floating floor has been put in the TV room in the basement. The big jobs remaining are still putting in a whole new, less ugly kitchen and embiggening the bathroom. This will happen some day when we’re not broke. Partially, it’s just an excuse to get me out of the house once in a while. My son, soon to be seven (! And, as of toda...
