...way out on the corner of fucked up and evil...

Day 2

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.

All my fannish wishes are for the eerie_indiana fandom:

I'd love a story focusing on the Unkind Ones, Eerie's most notorious biker gang (bonus points if there are other less-notorious biker gangs also existing in Eerie)

I'd love a crossover with Eerie and the movie the 'Burbs

And I really want an Unkind Ones patch that I can wear on a shirt or jacket, like the Sons of Anarchy reaper patch but maybe holding a lost puppy instead of an anarchy ball, and with a fishing rod with a dollar bill at the end instead of an assault rifle.

To whom it may concern: if you’re reading this document, it means you are about to learn of the greatest kids show ever made.

I am talking, of course, about Eerie, Indiana, a show aimed at roughly the nine-to-fourteen year old market, which aired nineteen episodes between 1991 and 1992 before being stolen by aliens because it was too good for this world. Or maybe it was cancelled because the idiot network didn't know a good thing when they saw it.



If you liked Twin Peaks, if you liked Carnivale or American Gothic, or if you liked the movie The 'Burbs (and seriously, why would you not like The 'Burbs?) you will like Eerie, Indiana.

The premise of Eerie, Indiana revolves around 13-year-old Marshall Teller and his nine-year-old best friend Simon Holmes. Prior to the start of the show, Marshall lived in New Jersey, “just across the river from New York City. It was crowded, polluted and full of crime… I loved it. But my parents wanted a better live for my sister and me, so we moved to a place so wholesome, so squeaky-clean, you could only find it on TV.”

Are you intrigued yet? You should be. Shortly arriving in Eerie, Marshall begins to notice that his new home town is… different.

“What’s wrong with this picture? The American Dream come true, right? Wrong. Nobody believes me, but Eerie is the centre of weirdness for the entire planet.”


( The Characters )

My flight out was cancelled due to fog at Leeds Bradford. I'm supposed to fly out tomorrow at 11.45 instead, but who knows if that will happen? I'd better not get any shit from work about not going in tomorrow - no way am I getting off that flight and then putting in ten hours at the House of Gas without a nights sleep inbetween.

ANYWAY! I managed to force William and Jonny to watch The Burbs yesterday - William said it was "alright, a bit 80's though" (he was born in 1991, that's practically like having a learning disability as far as his ability to detect awesomeness is concerned) and Jonny is of the opinion that anything from the 80s should have skateboards and/or BMXs in there somewhere, and therefore The Burbs falls short compared to his preferred flavour of 80's madness.

Also, why isn't there more Ivan/Tony porn fron Iron Man 2? I've had a look around, and while I'm not the ONLY one who developed an embarrassing wrong-crush on Mickey Rourke after watching this movie, there doesn't seem to be many of us. Shame on you, internet. Seriously, SHAME.

Yesterday I had to walk around town with a broom sticking out of my backpack for two hours. I looked like a retarded ninja. And every time we walked under a low-hanging "SALE!" or "CHRISTMAS!" sign, it was like:

Aminder: Watch out for the-
Froodle: *THUNK* *is jerked back as broom handle catches on sign, door frame, light fitting etc*
Aminder: ...never mind.

And then, when I finally got home, instead of respecting the suffering I had gone to just to make tidying their pen easier, my bunnies decided chasing the broomhead and chewing the bristles and generally getting in the way was a hilarious game. So I was forced to cuddle them for their crimes, while watching werewolf movies that Aminder forced me to buy. Forced! My will was overborne. I shopped only under duress!

Also, I just realised Joe Dante directed the Howling. Heh. I get it now.
