Fanworks for "Terma"
[info]boredatwork1 wrote in [info]trustno1_redux
This week's episode is "Terma." No one is signed up for the recap on Monday, July 13th, but I believe [info]sinkwriter might be continuing her amazing "Tunguska" recap.   </a></b></a>[info]bardsmaid is doing the meta on Wednesday, July 15th. 

Please comment here with links to fanfic, icons, meta, reviews, music vids, wallpapers, commentary, or any other fanwork about "Terma" Both new and old works are welcome as are any genre: gen, ship, slash. We ask for you to label your fics appropriately and be considerate to your fellow fans. Self-pimping is definitely allowed as are recommendations for other fanworks. However, please give credit where credit is due.

As always, let common sense be your guide. Enjoy and happy posting! We're looking forward to it!

We would also still welcome a meta and/or recap from </a></b></a>[info]amalnahurriyeh for "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man."  It's never too late!

Make sure you sign up for season 4. There are still a few empty spots. Don't wait. Do it now! :)

Ich brauch ganz schnell ein neues Prüfungsthema
[info]vanita wrote in [info]schule_studium
Hallo!
Hat jemand eine Idee für ein nettes kleines nicht-aristotelisches Metaphysik-Thema? Ich brauch eins für meine Examensklausuren – und zwar bis Dienstagvormittag. :-(
Der Prof hat mir heute gemailt, dass er mit meinem Vorschlag nicht einverstanden ist. Also brauche ich jetzt was Neues; am liebsten was, das nicht zu schwer zu verstehen ist und nicht zu viel Lektüre beinhaltet.
Hilfe, bitte?

Mockbusters!

Mockbusters - your new drug of the block

Should I cry or laugh? Not sure at all. Nope.

I found the release of Transmorphers - Fall of Man and nearly chocked on my cookies.

Duh, who needs the real thing (in this case Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen) when you can get Asylum's mock-ups. =D

It cannot get worse than that. Mocking up blockbusters until they are nothing more than really bad entertainment is apparently fun. In big letters.

According to Asylum's IMDb and Wiki they have done nearly 200 hundred mocks:
To name a few:

  1. The Da Vinci Code - The Da Vinci Treasure [2006]

  2. Pirates of the Caribbean - Pirates of Treasure Island [2006]

  3. Snakes on a Plane - Snakes on a Train [2006]

  4. I Am Legend - I Am Ωmega [2007]

  5. High School Musical 3: Senior Year - Sunday School Musical [2008]

  6. The Day the Earth Stood Still - The Day the Earth Stopped [2008]

  7. Terminator Salvation - The Terminators [2009]

  8. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - Transmorphers: Fall of Man [2009]

Not that I won't try to get a glimpse and - hopefully - enjoy some of the mockbusters. Heh.

Torchwood Three

Well, that was... disappointing. And it started out quite promising...

TW:3 is no love - so it only gets four lines from me )

If they ever do a Torchwood 4, I want everyone back. Everyone. As in all. And if possible alive.

Wie ein Marko dem anderen
[info]bildblog

Bild.de erklärt heute, dass man den Neu-Gladbacher Marko Marco Reus leicht mit dem Ex-Gladbacher Marko Marin verwechseln kann:

Marko Reus: Ich will kein Marin-Double sein

Reus, der für 1 Mio von Zweitligist Rot-Weiß Ahlen kam, wirbelte in der Tat wie Marin. Er tauchte überall in der Offensive auf und war ständig in Bewegung. Dazu hat er die gleiche Frisur, ist zwar 11 Zentimeter größer als sein Vorgänger, sieht aber aus wie sein Zwilling.

Und wie leicht die beiden zu verwechseln sind, zeigt Bild.de dann auch noch gleich:

Das ist der echte Marko Marin. Der verzaubert in Zukunft leider die Fans in Bremen

Das ist nämlich gar nicht Marko Marin, sondern … Marko Marco Reus.

Mit Dank an Hauke R. und Robin K.

Nachtrag, 15:40 Uhr: Statt ein Foto des echten Marko Marin zu suchen, hat sich Bild.de für diese Lösung entschieden:

Gladbach-Neuzugang Marko Reus

Außerdem hat man den Artikel unter einer neuen URL abgelegt — mit "marko" statt wie zuvor "marco" in der Adresszeile.

Das ist insofern etwas unglücklich, als Reus offenbar tatsächlich Marco heißt.

Rating: G
Summary: "Spock finds himself watching himself."
Author Notes This ficlet ignores the last tiny bit of the recent movie. Also, I know next to nothing about any of the other movies or TV series so this could be totally inaccurate. I also suspect nobody will read this. *g* So it doesn't matter.

Surimi shrimp
[info]fireez
From an article on the internet portal of one of Germany's biggest magazines:
"The name "surimi shrimp" borders on fraud". And that was quoted from a guy working for a consumer's watchdog organization.

Um, no, "surimi shrimp" does NOT border on fraud. You get exactly what's written on the tin. And if you automatically assume that surimi is a kind of shrimp, well, maybe you should get yourself informed a bit more on what you eat. By, oh, reading the ingredients list, for instance. The information is there, you just have to invest the not really herculean effort to take a look at it.

Seriously, do they expect the industry to put "Protein from various fish, pressed into shrimp form" in huge letters on the box? That would be a bit, well, long-ish. Surimi is surimi. It's what the stuff is called. And if you really think that you can buy a real huge shrimp for the price you pay for a surimi shrimp, you're deluding yourself.

In Which Dreamer Needs to Come Clean About Something
[info]dreamer_marie
Okay, I confess! I have a new fandom. I recently discovered Veronica Mars, and I'm in love. As in, the-plot-bunnies-are boiling-over-in-my-brain in love. And what's worse, I seem to have turned into an embarassingly rabid Logan/Veronica shipper. Duncan is OK (although they weren't working out) but Piz needs to die a slow painful death, preferably involving being roasted by cannibals.
So there is going to be Veronica Mars fic and squeeing over here. So, please don't be surprised.

Snurched from ultranos and abyssis...

Inspired by Doctor Who's "Turn Left:" Pick one of my stories and tell me a point in the tale that you'd change -- something tiny or big -- and I'll tell you how that one difference would have altered the course of the entire story.

Turn Left is awesome btw, except for the big icky bug. ;-)

Hey guys, I just graduated with a minor in biology, but my geekiness knows no bounds. I'm interested in radiation biology. Specifically, the impacts of radiation on biological organisms (as in CBRN weapons), and not so much clinical radiology.

I've found a couple things via Google on Amazon, Half.com, and through Nova Publishers (?) but I don't want to invest in a big expensive book without reviews and publication dates!

Any suggestions?
