time and relative dimension in space

Tony nominations this morning!!!!

If you follow me on Twitter for some reason, you've already seen everything I have to say; if not it's behind the cut.

( cut for all the people who don't understand my obsessions )

If you want to see the full nominee list without my rambling commentary, it's here.

I so wish I could write epics.

I have this obscenely-epic idea for a Newsies cyperpunk AU, but aside from writing brief snippets for my own amusement there's no possible way I could write it.


This utterly pointless post brought to you by the Society To Save Chica's Brain.

From fandom_memes:

List ten quotes from ten of your OTPs. Your flist's job is to guess which of your OTPs said the quotes and from what movie/television show/book/etc. they are from.

Most of these are high on the "obvious" list.

1. "People don't seem to look me in the eye here. I think I scare them."..."You don't scare me." LOST, Charlie/Claire, oc_pixie

2. "Then I would love you in any way I could. And if we could not touch, then I would draw strength from your beauty. And if I went blind, then I would fill my soul with the sound of your voice and the contents of your thoughts until the last spark of my love for you lit the shabby darkness of my dying mind." Pushing Daisies, Olive/Alfredo, superduperkc

3. "What's the Czech for 'Do you love him'?"

4. "It's not a great picture. In real life you look better." "In real life." Animorphs, Rachel/Tobias, atrypical

5. "I think I like the other world better." "How is it you're the only one who remembers?" "Shh. Just enjoy the music." Zanna Don't!, Zanna/Tank, allfireburns

6. "Be honest, you came all this way to see me." "Still struggling to conquer your shyness?" Torchwood, Martha/Jack, allfireburns

7. "All we really need to survive is one person who truly loves you, and you have her." LOST, Desmond/Penny, superduperkc

8. "Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off." "Work, work, work..." Firefly, Wash/Zoe, superduperkc

9. "I've been hearing violins all night." "Anything to do with me? Are we a thing?" "Darling, we're everything!" RENT, Angel/Collins, oc_pixie

10. "...This relationship is going to be tricky." "There's still time to leave and find a non-crazy girl." "Not even slightly interested." xkcd, Hat Guy/Crazy Girl, melengro

( the questions )

Most awesome-tastic thing heard in a while: The Pogues covering "Do You Believe In Magic?" *laughs*

Close second: The radio-friendly version of "Boys From The County Hell", mainly because the lyrics stop making sense when you replace all the profanity. "We got him out the back and we beat him 'til he bawled"? Really?



Some old fannish5 entries, just because:

( cut to spare your flist )

And
You ever write a fanfic where you think certain lines are just fantastic, but nobody seems to have noticed or commented on them? Comment on this thread with a link to your fanfic, and I'll give you a full-fledged line!post with at least 5 of my favorite lines from that fic.



...I have to go in to work for Kinetix in, like, an hour and a half. *makes face*

YAY! The Joyce/Yeats essay is done! Finished! It's five pages of BS and a really awful conclusion, because really what I had to say could be said in maybe three pages but I had to stretch it out, but anyway it's done and I can stop thinking about it!

That was way too many exclamation points!


OKAY. Hopefully tomorrow I will have time to get gifties uploaded for those of you who are awaiting gifties. Today I be selfish; I know when I posted my wishlist a handful of people asked for specific fic requests, so under the cut find a ridiculously long list of prompts for the fandoms/pairings/whatevers I have been craving most recently.

( some of these I don't think anyone on my flist writes, but oh well! )

I'm not actually expecting anything (although kawaiispinel already wrote me TOTALLY AWESOME Olive/Alfredo fic of the UTTERLY PERFECT kind), but just so it's out there, y'know?

...yeah, I'm gonna shut up and go to bed now.

Hey, you know how every year I say that I'm never going to work a Regis Glee Club concert again? This year when I say it, I get to mean it!

...my hands are cold. :(

Also I'm really not digging LiveJournal's new flagging feature thing, mainly because a huge chunk of my flist is now behind lj-cuts that say nothing more informative than "this post may contain material unsuitable for minors" or whatever it is. *sulks*


In brighter news:

"The Wizard & I": queer/trans anthem, y/n? assiduous1 and I were listening to John Barrowman's cover of the song last night -- and then Idina's, and then Julia's, just to be fair -- and realized that the lyrics work really well for that.

We also, y'know, watched Newsies and found even more slash than ever before (holyshit I never noticed Blink's arm around Boots before, or how utterly casual Boots is about it...and the Skittery/Bumlets!) and also she has been won over to the awesomecakes that is Olive/Alfredo.


And, finally, a meme, snagged from warpedsexuality:

( girl or boy? )

I am trying VERY HARD to resist the urge to delete all my userpics and redo them from scratch, as I am wont to do from time to time. So, um. Meme!

Name a character from one of my fandoms and I'll give you (a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon, (b) a reason he/she sucks, (c) a reason he/she is awesomecakes, (d) five things that never happened to that character or (e) five people that character never fell in love with and why. You pick the character. I pick the letter.

I can't guarantee I'll answer Right Away because assiduous1 is meant to be showing up fairly soon to watch Newsies and maybe some other movies and maybe I can get her hooked on PD? so I might be busy, but I will as soon as possible!

Oh, anna poll:

[Poll #1098108]

Snagged from, like, everybody:

Lets101 - Free Online Dating

...yeaaaaah. "Great talker"? "Great kisser"? "Outgoing"? "Loud"? "Loves being in long relationships"? "Talkative"? "Dislikes nonsensical and unnecessary things"? I'm sure we're all aware of how (...not) true that is.


Anyway.

Dracula (the play with no onstage action at all!) is over, bitches! The set is gone. Strike lasted about an hour and a half, it was amazing. We're talking about it before the show started, Evan's like, "Well, I've got a plan sketched out, we can get as much done as possible but strike is definitely over at 6:15 because I have to get going for my other show -- " He's playing Dave in The Full Monty which leads to a lot of us teasing him about stripping in front of strangers -- "So whatever's left, I'll come by tomorrow and finish it up." AND THEN WE WERE DONE BY 4:30. NO LIE, TRUFAX. Ninja-bunny strikes are made of win.

Roommate!Amanda and I watched Newsies because she had never seen it before. We were going to watch it with assiduous1 but she didn't show. *pout* We can rewatch it when she actually comes over, though. Anyway. Roommate!Amanda has been won over to the slashy side of that movie -- it's not even subtext, dammit, subtext implies some level of subtlety -- but she's having difficulties with the idea of Spot/Race because Max Casella apparently looks like a kid she knows.


Another meme grabbed from everybody:

1) Answer the questions and type into Google image search

2) Post pictures from first results page

( image heavy, obv )


And if anyone is curious about my reaction to the Doctor Who CIN special with Five and Ten meeting...well, it can best be summed up as "asklhl;haen;geah SQUEE SQUEE SQUEE s;ja OH GOD I LOVE YOU BOTH".

...theatre humor is so inappropriate. :D



Instead of doing homework like I should have done and like I'm still not doing after work and before rehearsal, I vegged out and watched my new Hair DVD. OMG I LOVE RAÚL SO MUCH. And him singing "Hair"? SO MUCH LOVE. If those jeans were any tighter they would cut off circulation, and grabbing his crotch on the line "Down to there"? SO MUCH LOVE. *dies*

(Major props also to Adam, Julia, Shoshana, Jai, and Lillias, but OMG RAÚL.)



Anna meme (from fandom_meme), because I am a meme whore:

Choose 12 characters and put them in a numbered list. Once you've chosen, go behind the cut and grab these questions to answer them. No peeking until your list is complete!

And because I'm in a Mood (specifically exhausted), characters I don't usually throw onto these lists!

1. Penny Widmore (Lost)
2. Doyle (Andromeda)
3. Ian Chesterton (Doctor Who)
4. Jeremy Darling (Dirty Sexy Money)

( the questions )


And from fannish5: What lost episodes (or lost issues, or cut scenes) would you most like to see discovered?

1. Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker
2. Doctor Who: The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve
3. Doctor Who: The Macra Terror
4. The Black Donnellys: ANYTHING EVER
5. Newsies: all those scenes that originally gave Sarah a personality

Stolen from everybody.

1. Go here: http://www.careercruising.com/default.asp
2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark
3. Take their “Career Matchmaker” questions
4. Post the top ten results.


1. Film and TV Crew
2. Cosmetologist
3. Commercial Diver
4. Hairstylist
5. Tattoo Artist
6. Esthetician
7. Director of Photography
8. Makeup Artist

10. Set Designer
( 11-40 )

The awesome thing is, I can actually see me doing some of these. Well, obviously nobody wants me for their Medical Imaging Tech or Nuclear Medicine Technologist, but Film and TV Crew? Director of Photography, Makeup Artist, Lighting Technician, Set Designer, Camera Operator, Recording Engineer, Special Effects Technician, those kinds of things? Pretty much what I'm planning to do anyway. :D :D :D


And a fannish meme, snagged from fandom_memes:

( cut for length )


Ten days 'til the xkcd meetup!

Also, cheers, folks, I'm going to get a partial set design credit on the Yellow Boat program. :D
