Now calledmelovely Cookleta remix challenge reveals are up, I wanted to try my hand at making a DVD commentary of Counting Down to Zero for soverignthorn.

I’ve seen this kind of thing done really well before, and thought Kayla might enjoy seeing how (and which parts of) her original story Countdown inspired my remix; also that maybe my process might help someone else with ( Read more... )

I shouldn't be here; I'm gearing up for weekends and weeks of work and more work. But, oh, fandom is beguiling me with roaring fireplaces and wine, holding my hands and harmonising with me and exhorting me to stay :)

Case in point: how utterly charming is GLEE's Chris Colfer/Darren Criss, and this Doris Day/Dean Martin duet? SO CHARMING. Cute and ( Read more... )

...only to be with you, only to be with you...As some of you know, I’d headed out to Melbourne this last week, only to be with U2 and the 360 Degree Tour. The concert was amazing, you guys; I know nobody but Beth and Julia and Clio will care, but this 3,000-word concert recap is for me to hold to my U2-loving and Bono/Edge-shipping heart when I’m ( Read more... )

"...Down the road, later on You will hate that I never gave more to you Than half of my, half of my heart..."I'm sorry, you guys. I have a crapload of RL things to do and a hearing that starts next week, and I have been kind of at a low ebb recently and not really fit for polite company ( Read more... )

…and now at least I know I know him well…

Hi, f-list! Check out the awesome new layout which the amazingly talented ciudad made for me! I was really excited to win her services for help_haiti, and she is not only gifted but a real sweetheart (she also provides tech support!). In addition, she’s gonna make me a surprise thing - how is that not sheer win? *dances ( Read more... )

"They said: you better hold on to what you got..."

This week, David Cook packed his guitar and his lead guitarist and traveled to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with the UN Foundation to raise awareness about the importance of girls' education, for a special episode of IDOL GIVES BACK to be aired on April 21st.

My various thoughts:

01: How fine is he? ( Read more... )

...Stick that whole damn thing right through me, right? Right?

Because, goddamn, the Midwest Kings play the Flytrap Music Hall in Tulsa was, from all accounts, an epic, fantastic concert, bar none ( Read more... )

…So many lessons to learn...?

This is the clarifying LJ meme, which everyone else (most recently, um, epicflailer?) has done. I am doing this at the insistence of fakeplasticsnow, who has since clarified her name is “Fake Plastic Snow” (from the Radiohead song, and the title of her favorite Ugly Betty episode), as opposed to “Fake Plastics Now” (a homage to fake resins, ( Read more... )

You guys. I am totally going to hell in a handbasket, and it’s entirely Cook’s fault. He seriously needs to stop it with these damn 80s songs, just saying. I am not sure my girl parts can take much more of this.
