happy birthday
lolafeist, squeeful fangirl (it's so good to see you back on lj!), and
amchara, international journalist (and who i'm pretty sure i originally knew as a squeeful fangirl)! cake for all!
dancing boys: *salsa*
this morning i tried to explain the appeal of tumblr to rich the coworker, and then i tried to explain wordpress/blogger/blogspot/pickyourbloggingplatform, and i felt weirdly internetly clued-in. (i did not try to sell him on lj. it felt too much like crossing the streams.) and then he asked me about criminal minds and i told him, and forty minutes later i realized i should maybe let him get back to work. >.< i said for future reference he should only ask me about cm if he's prepared for me to take half an hour giving him an answer. and he doesn't even watch it any more!
i felt like a dork. a very opinionated one.
my
spn-cinema fic is THISCLOSE to being finished, which is a good thing as i need to send in the first draft tonight, and... it doesn't have a title. i hate titles. haaaaate. one of the best things about the nanobang is that the title was the first thing i thought of. it had a title before it had a plot, even.
so, uh, is anyone interested in beta-ing 14k (give or take) words of fairly gen j2 rps based fairly closely on gone in sixty seconds? (i don't have an exact word count because it's not done yet, but right now it's about 13,600 words and i just have to finish the last scene, which shouldn't take too long.) knowledge of los angeles/long beach geography would be nice but not necessary. there's a little bit of ust, or at least there should be. also if you could help me think of a title that would be FAB.
today is charlie chaplin's birthday. if you haven't yet, check out
google.
also
a bunch of photos of taliesin, frank lloyd wright's home in wisconsin, surfaced on ebay, of all places, and were acquired as a lot by the wisconsin historical society. (they had help.) they're early photos, which is cool because taliesin burned down at least once and was rebuilt and added to a bunch of times, and it's always nice to see what the buildings originally looked like. there's even a cow in one of them. moo. :D
