☂ a serious house on serious earth.
If the bands The Dear Hunter, Forgive Durden, Man in the Blue Van, Say Anything, Saves the Day, The Audition, This Providence, Panic at the Disco, The Hush Sound, Gatsby's American Dream, An Angle, Portugal the Man, The Matches, and mewithoutYou mean anything to you, I'm pretty sure you'll like this. A musical done by Forgive Durden featuring artists from all of the above mentioned bands, Razia's Shadow is a rock opera, and while I know it won't be the cup of tea of everyone on my flist, I thought I'd share. If nothing else, the artwork, which I have put under the cut, is gorgeous. Enjoy!

14 11 09 - up: a picspam
♐ i never wanted anyone else.


Up is, quite seriously, one of best films I've ever seen.
I admit I love anything by Pixar on principle, but Up is
really a beautiful film. Just watching this film makes me feel
happy, and it's one of the movies that's made me bawl like a baby
every single time I've seen it. If you haven't seen it already,
do yourself a favor and go out and get it. I promise that you
won't regret it. Oddly enough, I've never touched any of Pixar's
films before as picspam material, and I've never done an anim-
ated movie, either. All the caps were taken and edited by me, so
please don't steal them to use elsewhere. That said, please enjoy!

thanks for the adventure. )

✏ a sexy revolution.
So, on the way back to my dorm like three minutes ago with two of my friends, I managed to spot a giant Steve Holt poster hanging in someone's room through their window. We immediately ran over and stood outside said person's window for a good five minutes just going, "STEVEHOLT!" and doing the appropriate arm pump.

Nobody came to the window but it still made my night.
∑ i think we'll be okay.
Random items I feel like sharing with the world before dropping off into a nap:

1)
Sam: I wonder if we’ll ever be put into songs or tales.
Frodo: What?
Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, “Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring,” and they’ll say, “Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, dad?” “Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that’s saying a lot.”
Frodo: You left out one of the chief characters! Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.
Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn’t make fun. I was being serious.
Frodo: So was I.
Sam:Samwise the Brave.
This excerpt basically never fails to make me all warm and fuzzy inside. THE LORD OF THE RINGS, MY FIRST GREAT FANDOM LOVE. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

2) I don't pimp musicals on a regular basis, obvs., but in terms of music I've been listening to a lot recently, Next to Normal ranks up there. This is the performance the cast gave at the Tonys this year.

3) This guy! I watched Transporter 3 for Robert Knepper, okay, that is dedication (basically everyone on Prison Break holds a v. v. special place in my heart :[ ) (also, no one is allowed to pull the Statham clause here because I, in fact, as much as I enjoy how fucking balls Crank/Crank 2 were, I will not watch everything with Jason Statham in it solely because it has Jason Statham, tyvm). If I need to prove my point here, he is the only reason I would ever contemplate watching Heroes ever, even though I've heard how much of a train wreck it is now. (Weird faux-baptism of laQueento? Eyeliner? Costumes that look like they came out of a Tim Burton movie? Would I watch Heroes? MORAL DILEMMA. Apparently I would, hellllllo hulu.) Anyway, he is fantastic and everyone should watch Prison Break because it is A++++++++ and come on, everything y'all watch is on hiatus now, you've got the time.

4) I most definitely did not recognize Jared Harris (LANE PRYYYYYYYYCE) as the captain in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. My love for him has just increased a billionfold. The captain was awesome.

5) Drunk history.

6)

⇉ dreams for sale.
1) Pick a pairing from my fandoms (including whatever RP 'verse you care to throw at me), and come up with a location and/or situation, and I will write you between 50 and 250 words about the kiss that happened in that context.

2) List at least three stories you think I will never ever write, and I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

3) Give me two characters from different fandoms you know I’m familiar with, and I’ll give you a dialogue happening between the two of them. Without justifying how the crossover would work, how their worlds clashed, or how they could even meet each other. Just a silly crossover conversation with no backstory, for fun.

 
Not that I ever don't owe 120983479293745697382453 prompts to people, and not like I don't have a crapton of work to do, but HEYYYYY.

EVERYBODY LOVES PROMPTS, RIGHT?

ETA: HOOOOOOEY, THERE IS NOTHING LIKE RUNNING ACROSS CAMPUS AT 6 IN THE MORNING.
♨ next time on mad men.
I have not posted in a while! Remedying that fact now.

LMAO, this week has killed me. I have not eaten since lunch of yesterday, so as you may be able to imagine, I am pretty damn hungry. (I have spent the large part of my time between then and now just sleeping.) At any rate, this weekend is relatively clear for me besides finishing up a draft of a paper and a couple of other small things, and for that I am grateful.

I was also going to picspam the first couple of episodes of Prison Break, season 2, but my plans were waylaid by Photoshop crashing and taking the rest of what I had to work through with it, and since I do not particularly want to go through caps again, here is what I finished before my computer had another fit (I'm pretty sure the caps don't really have any spoilers in them, but eh):

coming from a compulsive liar, i find that hard to believe )

Basically, I forget how much I love this series until I start watching it again, at which point I kind of wish I had a good place to vent my all-caps rage of joy. (GUYS THEY USE ZORBA THE GREEK IN ONE OF THE EPISODES OKAY I CAN'T LOVE THIS SHOW ENOUGH)

Speaking of shows, the Mad Men season finale is TOMORROW. I am literally dying with anticipation. DDD: WHAT AM I GOING TO DO ONCE THE SEASON IS OVER. THIS SHIT JUST GOT REAL. I don't even have any reasonable predictions for what's going to go down, ffffff.
