Röyksopp - What Else Is There (Thin White Duke Remix)
Spitz - Koi wa yuugureThanks to the identical chord progression, I'm unable to listen to the first without hearing the second. If I were the kind of person who taught myself to make mashups - but I'm not

are you writing football fic? I live in hope.

[acchikocchi]

I am writing exactly the fic I described in the comments of that last post. *cough*

[nahco3]

:D

You and me? We are in the exact same yuletide boat. I also have jent_bigbang draft 1 due on the 18th (original deadline Dec 1!) that I um NEED TO START.

Good luck, yo. ;-;

[acchikocchi]

*high five* It seems we're not the only ones, either. XD But I don't have jent_bigbang or anything like it, eek - good luck to you!

[misura]

Oh, good, I haven't started yet either.

(Um, maybe that should be 'bad' instead of 'good', but er.)

Also, re: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, I hadn't heard about that yet. Of course, I haven't actually read the book so it might simply have not registered ... ^^;

[acchikocchi]

Solidarity! *clasps your hands* Good luck to us...

Oh good, it wasn't just me. With such a giant pool of fandom favorites involved I was kind of surprised not to hear about it. Anyway, the book is great fun if you at all like intelligent espionage-type thrillers.

I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO TINKER TAILOR. aldjalda firth, oldman, hardy, cumberbatch, strong. IT IS LIKE MADE FOR ME *_* i just wish in the midst of the REALLY REALLY ATTRACTIVE MEN there were attractive men of colour and attractive women.

and ahaha, it is old meme in both sherlock and inception, i'm afraid. i heard about it in both fandoms a while ago XD (and tom hardy is in the next batman, but i assume you know that. there are people who don't even know who tom hardy is ie. my brother, who know that XD)

[acchikocchi]

ah, yes, of course, I should have mentioned Inception as well. now that you mention Tom Hardy and Batman it seems to ring a bell, but I'd forgotten. ooh.

I've always felt bad for not reading Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy because I know it was one of my mum's favourite books.

[acchikocchi]

It's not a great masterwork or anything, but it's quite intelligent for a thriller, and the tension and pacing is handled v. well without relying on cheap tricks a la Dan Brown. Le Carre is a fabulous storyteller all around. I'd like to reread it and see how it stands up to my tastes now.
