time and relative dimension in space

I'm listening to the demo for A Gentleman's Guide To Love And Murder and oh my God Raul Esparza singing "It's Better With A Man" is my new favorite thing.

Also it's been twenty days since I last posted anything, so, uh. I suck. Total fail. I have no excuse except that I've had nothing to talk about except self-hatred and nobody wants to hear that, so. Sorry. I have also been failing at commenting. Trying to get better. Mid-year resolution?

I am a bit in love with the Leap Of Faith cast recording.

Is this something I should be ashamed to admit or do the combined powers of Raul Esparza, Kendra Kassebaum, Jessica Phillips, Kecia Lewis Evans, and Leslie Odom, Jr., provide enough legitimacy?

I am at the point of giving serious consideration to Very Sketchy Craigslist roommate ads, that is how desperate I am to find a place to live for the summer. :| If you or anyone you know wants to spend the summer in Williamsburg, VA, and is willing to split rent, let me know!

More plausibly, perhaps BGW will get back to me in the next couple days with a possible roommate?

Yeah, last-minute short-term affordable housing, not as easy as you'd think.


8. Sung by your favourite male singer in a musical.

"Being Alive", Company; Raul Esparza is pretty much better than anyone else ever.

Lots of D: this week, but the good kind of D:, y'know? We need more episodes centered on the non-Finn/Rachel/Quinn/Puck bits of Glee Club. ♥

New layout, because I am pathologically incapable of keeping one layout for too long. This one's much brighter than the Dr. Horrible layout, anyway, and it has Raul!

Currently seeking out a new mood theme but am very picky about my mood themes. And also very bad at making my own, so that's not gonna happen. I WILL FIND ONE.

Week 2 of mini_nanowrimo done, and I accomplished my goal of at least 100 words a day. I hate at least half of what I wrote this week, but at least it's writing...

Rundown: "with you/without you" is the second installment in the ongoing Michael/Liam story, started with "kissing liam donnelly" last week; I don't know how I feel about it. It does what I needed it to, anyway. "deathsong" is kind of cool, I like playing with Irish mythology. I'm still not entirely sure what's going on in "big bad world one" -- teh Niki compared it to "Memento" which is fairly accurate as it goes -- and I am also terribly confused as to what the premise of "slipping" actually is. Why do I keep writing things where I don't know what's going on? "interlude #1: liam" is part three in the Michael/Liam story, except it's more an interlude than an actual part of the story, hence the title, and again I don't know how I feel about it. I know for sure that "bibliogeist" isn't finished as is, but I don't know where to go from there, and really the thing I like best about it is the title. (And Shire, the bookstore cat.) "more than anything" is just one cliche from start to finish, isn't it.

So, yeah. I think "deathsong" is the only thing I produced this week that I actually like.



Totally unrelated, I'm starting to seriously think about Christmas shopping. In RL shopping, I have not yet purchased but am fairly sure I know what to get for teh Niki, my dad, and the little brother. I am much more lost on what to get my mom and the older sister. Am I supposed to get something for the new brother-in-law whom I have not yet met? *confused*

In LJ shopping, I have not yet purchased anything for anyone, but I have wishlists bookmarked for superduperkc, ladyfiresprite, and oc_pixie. If you have posted a wishlist and I have somehow missed it, now's the time to let me know; if you haven't but planned to, I'll keep an eye out for it. I'll be putting up a wishlist eventually.



On a lighter note, meme! Snagged from harbek. Except I was pedantic and replaced all the citations of "play" with "musical" since that's what they're really asking about.

OMG. OMG OMG OMG.

Does anyone know where this picture is from? Where I can get a copy of the original? CHICA WANTS.

Company was incredibly awesome. And Raul continues to own my soul. And I cried. And I'm going to rewatch it tomorrow. ♥


But in the meantime:

In conclusion: MARTHA! And I am now convinced of Jack/Owen's Epic Love. And child actors are always creepy. And MARTHA!

Note to any/all USA-based Raúl fans on my flist: PBS is airing Company tonight! I shall be watching, and taping. 'Cause, yay!


And that meme that's going around:
