Star Trek meta question: Are changelings gendered or is gender something they adopt to function in the world of the solids? I'm wondering if Odo (or the scientists who found him) arbitrarily decided that he's male.

Anniversary: My husband Josh and I celebrated our fifth anniversary this weekend which is why I've been not as around on lj the past four days or so. We went out of town and pigged out on expensive sushi and went to a friend's wedding whereupon I cried like a little bitch and ruined the back of my heels with an unfortunate shoe selection.

Spirituality: I went to mass for the first time in a couple of years, and I kept thinking about you,

hermionesviolin, and wondering what you would think of the service, etc. We went to Saint Richard's in Jackson, and I think it's a beautiful church. It's very modern, lots of open spaces, concrete and wood. Josh thinks it's cold, but I'm glad it lacks the cheesy decadence you find in a lot of Catholic Churches. I don't believe, but it was nice to go to church. I find the rituals comforting and beautiful if nothing else. I've also been re-reading Mary Oliver's The Leaf and the Cloud. It's such a lovely book of poetry. I recommend it highly.

Lament: No one but me and one other person commented to

riani1's Carrer Change fic in

club_joss. That's a real pity, too, for it's a lovely story, with excellent dialogue, and in which no character gets short shrift. No Buffy-bashing for this piece.

Recs: Far From Perfect by

nasty_shrew This fic pairs Xander with Cordy, Jesse, an OFC, and Spike and Shrew wrote it all for ME!!!!!! It's very lovely, particulary the vignette with Jesse.

Thaumaturgy TRUE LOVE by

executrix Cordy/River I always enjoy what Exec writes, but I really think this is her best piece to date. It's as close to perfect as I've read.
