Velvet Goldmine got me into fanfic.  It therefore got me into LJ.

If you love Velvet Goldmine, if you've written fic for it, if you've watched it a million times and loved it more with each viewing, I think this is for you.  These are some of the last words from Todd Haynes and producer Christine Vachon on the blu-ray commentary.  I damn near ( Read more... )

Please, please, please give Leonardo di Caprio the Best Actor this year for J. Edgar.  Please give him his damn award and spare us another year of his glum, overly-serious, washed-out biopics.  Yes, he's good at what he does, which is one thing...ONE.

Anywho, Lady Gaga was the musical guest.  Yes, I know she sends a positive message to young gays and young ( Read more... )

My fanfic-related pet peeves are no different than the standards we all know and hate.  Example:  the use of ravaged when clearly the writer should be using ravished.

That said, indulge me while I harp on one that's bothered me for years.  One that I'm sure you've all encountered in one form or another.  I'm going to call it the "Error of Non- ( Read more... )

Tell your inboxes to beware any comment dumps from my end.  I am, as always, catching up.  Not in reading - I keep up with everyone's posts diligently - but I'm bad about commenting.  My fail.

And sometimes I even mentally respond to posts then and there.  Why the hell can't I just type it in?  Freaking short attention sp---ooh look, The ( Read more... )
