I've been meaning to post this the last couple of days:
with "She's Always A Woman To Me" by Billy Joel in my head. Why? I have absolutely no idea. I haven't heard that song for at least a month and that was randomly on the radio. Before then, I hadn't heard it for years. Maybe because I've been working a lot on my novel recently (approaching the finishing line, people! woohoo!) and the main character reminds me a great deal of the song? Maybe. But damn, if you're going to have a song stuck in your head first thing in a morning, at least it should be a classic like this.
It's dedication time. What song are you sending out, and who is it dedicated to?
This one goes out to my feisty feline, Noire.
. . . . But I never made any promises to any of you when we began this affair. Take me as I am or leave. That's the agreement. No strings attached. You said you were all for it as long as you got a piece of Denial out of it. But you begin to believe what we have is real. You fall in love with Denial. Can't blame you really. Denial is a free spirit. No allegiance. A bee that must go from flower to flower to flower.
WTF am I going on about? I have no idea really. But I hope it amused you.
I just don't like it when I see that it's been more than a couple days since I've updated my vox. Nothing like when I had Myspace. I had to be nagged into posting something to that piece of ....internet space.
I've been inching towards the end of my novel. I am on the cusp of the ending. By all reason, these should be the funnest parts for me to write. I know I'm going to have to edit the beginning 50 pages or so far more heavily than anything else. Once I figure out what piece is missing from there, it'll be great. But until then, I shall brooding and artistically frustrated. There's some part of me that believes, life has been going so wrong at almost every turn lately that soon, we're all owed something big, something unexpected, that is going to pull us out of this terrible luck. That's how those type of things are supposed to work, right? I mean, the only consulation in all this is that it can't keep getting worse forever. So, I'm thinking what's going to happen is either we're going to win the fucking lottery or I'm going to sell this book and get a really fantastic deal. Yeah, I know how likely both of those are. Go burst your own damn bubble. I only got a couple left to call my own.
I mostly thought I'd just share this new song I found. Love is a strong word but I really, really, really like it.
And just for Christy . . .
I really like this fanvid.
And this is a pretty interesting song:
This is fantastic. Not only is it a vid going through all of B5, but the song itself is about B5! How can you not love this?
Obviously, this is not mine.
This is some of the lyrics transcribed by me just by hearing. The guy speaks so fast that I couldn't get the whole thing, but I'll try to transcribe a few lines.
It's been
Five Years
Since we went on line
Laurel Takashima's gone
But Susan's so fine
Five years
since the Vorlon came
Someone tried to kill him
Sinclair didn't take the blame
Twelve years
Since we held the line
Twenty-four hours missing
Out of his mind
Yesterday
It went off TV
But it'll still be ok
'Cause we got the story"
I'm deeply surprised I was able to catch that much accurately. However, you can tell why I'd have to post this to the group. Enjoy!
I'm sure any good LOTR fanfic reader knows of the (in?)famous Cassandra Claire's The Very Secret Diaries . . . I was just randomly searching "Legolas" on youtube today. I do it every once in a while when I want a laugh. Mostly because of the replies:
"legolas is awesome!!!!"
"legolas is super hot"
"I Love It. Legolas is so hot x33"
"omg the song goes so well with Legolas!!:)"
"I thought this video was really good! Good song. Very ....Legolasish." (BTW, the song this person is refering to is Evanescence's Bring Me To Life. Even should I acknowledge "Legolasish" as a word, I do not think this song as being terribly characteristic of Legolas.)
Yes, those are all direct quotes from ONE vid. It's worthy of a giggle every once in a while. Personally, I like the character of Legolas. There's barely anything really that makes you connect with him overly much in the book and Orlando Bloom more often than not just tries to look handsomely brooding (And he does rather well sometimes, especially later on when he started to look more like a man and not a girl). Still, he's a Tolkien Elf so he's Good Stuff in my book.
What was the point of this post? Don't worry, it's a good one. Someone made a vid (a very good one!) to Cassandra Claire's The Very Secret Diary of Legolas, Son of Weenus.
If you are going to dress up for Halloween, what will you be? Why?

God. But you won't realize. Because I'll look like me. Why? Because I'll be God and can do whatever the hell I want. And Noire will be Satan. Oh yeah, baby. The Gospel According to Joan.
My friend, Deepy, shares my great love for the Sarcastic Genius that is Steven Colbert! And today, she sent me a video that I simply had to share. It's precious. It's wonderful. It's FABULOUS!
Damn it, doesn't allow video embedding. But just double click it and the Youtube page with it will pop up! Watch it!
Here are some more:
And this is what happens when you get Colbert and Martin in the same room:
