Hey hey [livejournal.com profile] marycontraire , I think you will be interested to know that today I finally fully watched the first two episodes of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. :D I am watching the third and about to go to bed now. :P

And oh yes, I've been meaning to mention in here how much I loved last week's Doctor Who. Now, I do want to have down on record that I have some issues with the issue of forgetting as relates to women's agency, but I haven't yet decided if it warranted concern in this episode or if it was just a knee jerk reaction on my part due to what happened to Donna. (D:) But any which way you parse it, Liz Ten was fabulous, and Amy was fabulous, and even more fabulous was "Gotcha," which gave me warm fuzzy feelings of joy and sibling-hood and love.

ETA: This explains why I love Haley Hotchner SO MUCH very very well. (Criminal Minds Season 5 spoilers at link.) She was amazing, and is totally on my list of ladies who rocked their world. <333

Wound by Corinne Wohlford Taft

 
If I have loved, it is mostly
because that is what I have
called it.

The night I left, you pressed three
scars to the inside of my wrist and said
It will be different with you gone.

Later I marked time by their fading.

But it was lazy, making you beautiful
that way. I was reading words
backwards—lover, almost
revolve, almost
evolve,

and I couldn't believe in things.

The magnolia
makes me cringe: the perfect cup
of its opening. Its center
the deepest color. I love—
love it—

but the mind,
Mobius-stripped,
unhinged, and unhinged,
is substituting.

Siblinghood? That wasn't what I got from it.

(Wait, we've had this conversation before. About Narnia. ;p)

LOL heeee!

I have to admit, some of my reading of their scenes is colored by my deep, deep desire to have them just be sibling-like and adorable FOREVER. I won't be very happy about the kissing. but that hug... I do not know if that is also something people in love do, but it was pretty identical to the hug I give my siblings when I have missed them and am completely overjoyed that they are back.
