Amanda Palmer was FUCKING AMAZING last night. I am sleepy but happy today after seeing (amongst other things): a proper Amanda Palmer concert, a set by a two-man '80s pop saxophone covers band, a duet ON A HEDWIG SONG between AFP and John Cameron Mitchell, a lot of free drinks, the entirety of "Purple Rain ( Read more... )

Oh, Lie to Me et tes videos des politiciens. Meme en francais tu es trop drole ( Read more... )

I have been in fandom for ten years. In that time, I have read untold numbers of crack fic, I have written self-inserts and vicious MSTs and Beaches AUs. I have written Galaxy Quest fic.

The last twenty seconds of "Amok Time"? The apology from Sports Night? Or Dan and Casey's reconciliation? Any of A THOUSAND SCENES from The West ( Read more... )
