Warning NSFW.

If Craig Ferguson, Jonathan Ross and/or Rove were ever on an episode of anything together I may explode from the concentrated awesome.

So who's coming with me?

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.

Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want.

Also, people have started posting their mixes in the CD exchange post. Go check them out because they're pretty good.

So, while I'm watching Iron Man and giggling every time the guy who plays Captain Robau shows up as a member of the Ten Rings, I found this (spoilers for season 5 of Doctor Who):


I'm procrastinating and avoiding doing the vacuuming but I'm getting a new couch tomorrow and therefore have to do it. I also found a song called "I'm Gonna Spend My Christmas A Dalek" by The Go Go's which is either annoying or cute, I'm not sure which.

So I've talked to a few people and have decided that seeing as no one has stepped forward to say anything definitive about the cd exchange this year I'd offer a suggestion. I thought since people have busy schedules and/or are out of the country I'd offer up a post in which people can post their mixes from wherever they are, whenever they want and however many they want. All you have to do is upload your mix to a hosting site and link to it in the comments. You can also email your mix to me if that's easier and I'll upload it here. The post is dated for the end of January so it'll be at the top of my lj so it'll be easy to find.

This is an open offer to anyone who wishes to participate. I ask that if you're taking a mix to comment and/or leave a mix of your own for others to enjoy. Mixes can be as short or as long as you like and cover art, while not necessary, is a welcome bonus. Feel free to post this on your journals if you think anyone on your flist would like to participate. My goal is to gather as much fun and new music for everyone to enjoy. Every style of music is welcome.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns please let me know.

I have never been so excited to see a production of Hamlet ever.

As I'm annoyed at the people at work and their non-emergency emergency calls I figure I should share things that make me happy.

Three clips of the BBC miniseries Day of the Triffids have been released and they look rather interesting. I think they're playing on Eddie Izzard's fame though as I barely remember his character at all from the book. Perhaps I should read it again before watching this.

Oh, have a cute little short about a girl named Alma.

I have a severe dislike of Christmas music but this song plus Muppets makes everything better. Especially Animal. Animal makes everything better.

I'm so looking forward to this coming back.

There are now Yaris sized tracks down my street with foot prints behind them where I had to create my own path to get the Ninja to work. Due to nobody driving down my street it's essentially half a foot of pure snow so driving a car that tends to get stuck in snow that's not very deep is never a good idea. I managed to drive to the end of the street where I then got to get out and push my car around the corner to get onto the next street. There was much going forward and then backward in order to get momentum to go forward again. It took 10 min to turn the corner while bystanders looked on. Everything's pretty clear on the main roads and in the mall parking lot but until the city plows my street I don't think I'm going anywhere anytime soon.

So there's this show that's still in development called Slingers done by Mike Sizemore starring Sean Pertwee, Adrian Bower, Tom Mison, Margo Stilley, Haruka Abe, GUN, and JUNIOR. It looks amazing. Like a beautifully executed 60s heist show that just happens to take place in the future. In space. With robots. Synopsis and production pics here and more pics here and here. I'm really hoping this gets picked up because it looks like some damn good television.

This is the sizzle reel, just to get you hooked.

Nathan Fillion and Jon Huertas are way too adorable. now, if only they could include Seamus in their hijinks I'd be a very happy bunny.

The teaser for Absolute Justice on Smallville:

It has Green Arrow, Doctor Fate, a Green Lantern, Hawkman, and Wesley Dodds rocking the gas mask as the Sandman (or at least I hope that's him in the mask).
I think I'm going to have to watch this if only to silently weep at the atrocity. It's written by Geoff Johns but I'm not sure if that's a comfort.

EDIT: It looks like the CW are in talks to adapt Global Frequency for tv. I hope they don't screw it up. The pilot for the first attempt was brilliant and that wasn't picked up so here's hoping everything will turn out well.

This is a really cool music video by Miles Fisher done as American Psycho. He looks and acts eerily like Christian Bale. Definitely NSFW (but you already know this because you've all seen the movie, right?)


Just be glad I didn't decide to share the one with two guys in bacon skirts fighting with their salami...
