Bio

My name is Cujoy, and these are the things I'm interested in and generally post about:

TV: When I first joined LJ, I was really into The 4400 (I was, the maintainer of the LiveJournal

4400spoilers board. Which, alas isn't very active any more since the show is long over.) I then fell in Fanly Love with Battlestar Galactica - which I'll still call my current OTS One True Show, even though it is also over.

But I'm also into Mad Men, Leverage, My Boys, Warehouse 13, The Amazing Race, and Survivor. I actually rather picky about what shows appeal to me. It either does or doesn't I totally dropped Heroes because it just stopped gelling. Ditto, Lost. I like The Sarah Connor Chronicles, but not enough to get past my distaste of every thing related to Fox.

As I said above, my OTS is Battlestar Galactica. My OTC is Samuel T. Anders. And of course my OTP is Kara/Sam. I just can't get enough of those two kids, even if I'm spitting in the face of the overwhelmingly popular Kara/Lee ship. ;) I'm contrary that way. It's a curse.

Though I'm a fan of Supernatural, I'm definitely not "in the fandom" which I think is the wankiest thing out there. But the main reason is that I actually like every female character they've ever brought on Supernatural. I liked Jo. I loved both Rubies. I adore Anna.

Movies: I loved Sky High, which is a dorky little Disney movie from a few years ago. It was just adorable and needs to become a franchise. I adored Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, though I've never been able to work my way through either fandom. The Star Trek Reboot rocked my sox. Once a Trekkie, always a Trekkie.

Sports: Baseball (Reds, Cubs & White Sox) Football (Bengals, Bears, Colts, Steelers)

Politics: I'm a Liberal. I am very happy about the election of Barack Obama. I know his administration has a lot of work to do, because the last one left a Cluster. I am active and involved in my local Democratic party ogranization. (If this bothers you, I don't care.)

I think the war in Iraq is wrong, always wrong, and very wrong. And Tax Cuts For The Wealthy sure as heck didn't do me any good.

All that being said, I'm thinking most of my journal entries will probably revolve around media and sports, with an occasional foray into politics. I don't generally talk about the family or personal matters - mostly because I don't want to embarrass the loved ones... but I sometimes make oblique references to "the guys" and to my extended, sports loving family here in Chicago...

In regards to my fandom tastes. I try my best to keep my fandom about the things that I love, not the things that I hate. I am, however, quite capable of issuing a good old fashioned rant when I think one is justified. You've been warned.

Cujoy.

FYI - If you want to be my Friend, that's great! You don't need to ask, and I'll be happy to Friend you back.

PS - Although I am obviously a media fan, I totally boycott Most things Fox. (Because of their crime-against-journalism news channel. Good thing I don't really like anything they show anyway.)
