LLAMA BREAK!
Dec. 14th, 2005 01:34 amok so it wasn't originally a llama thing. but I figured, while I'm at it, why not llama? anywho, we'll get there. listen up.
so yes, much of the flist has been stressing about finals (myself included), and you know what, fun is needed. so, what's more fun than the Llama Song, anyway?
answer:
this xbox commercial!
...we now return you to your regularly scheduled crazy French sex dude. or maybe that's just me.

more vidding -- preferably through 00:04:00, and tightening up what I've done already -- and at least an outline (if not a rough) of queer history final, tomorrow.
which, I should probably read through that prompt a few times before bed.
shrieking_ell, I'm sorry. I really need this sleep.
(p.s. there's half a holiday fluff kittenfic in my Trusty Notebook. don't know when the other half will happen, but I doubt I'll be expecting it. knowing her)

as the world falls down (falling)
Dec. 9th, 2005 07:05 amgood morning. opted out of sleep until this weekend when I a) have gone to the clinic and ruled out mono or some other crazy-ass thingamacrap, and b) can experiment with my alarm clock without fucking shit up. Marie is a sweetheart of a roomie; she briefed me on going into the clinic (because I hatehatepassionatelyHATE and am TERRIFIED OF going places / doing things without a step-by-step this-is-what-will-happen) and promised that if I did fall asleep and was still asleep at 8:30, she'd wake me up.
so, instead of sleeping, I was completely unproductive and made icons that are not gift icons (I also abusedsilverjet747 and her classical lit paper, but that's business as usual). said icons basically sum up my take on P&P3, which was, "not handsome enough to tempt me," and are free to any good, loving, appropriately Jane-snarky home.
( don't worry. no pig testicles (this time). )
more snarky P&P3cons may or may not occur in the future.
also probably iconnage fangirling Dame Judi Dench's Lady Catherine de Bourg. because she (and the Janeite compulsion, admittedly) is the only reason I want to see the movie again. OMG JUDI DENCH!! [/flail]
you know the drill. comment, credit, don't alter. much love.

minor weenie little post
Dec. 7th, 2005 11:49 amso now I think I've got everyone who's requested an icon so far up on the list.
and the problem with Bowdoin's "Sweet Italian Sausage & Kale Soup" is that it's too damned good and I can't wait long enough to not burn my tongue. *grimace* but yummy.
and who wants the end song from the 28 Days Later soundtrack? Vivs found it last night and sent it to me because we're both such dorks for it and, let's face it, I have a great sister.
and now time to work on icons. distracts me from the waking-up issues. and the burnt tongue.

Dec. 7th, 2005 12:04 amso ok. this morning was retarded. but that's past.
I came back to a bunch of Mannheim Steamroller fromobi_wansgirl and omg happy.
and Marie's decorated her room with lights and a Christmas tree and tomorrow we're having a Christmas party and I'm supplying the music so a huge THANK YOU to everyone generous and kind (that means all of you) who's been supplying me!
andgambling_pirate and I just finished making plans for me to stay with her for a week at the end of winter break. GOD I AM A HAPPY LITTLE WIDGET.
this means I have the option of a day in Chicago (well, until 3pm) on the 10th January, which could be fun. any takers?
and I once again didn't put together the candies/cookies address poll thingee, wups to the nth degree.
check outshrieking_ell's wonderful Nightwing-y Robins-are-tragic Christmas batficlet. eee.
Here's the list of Christmas icon requests so far:
( check beneath the cut to make sure I got it right )
If you're not on the list, and you want to be, you can still hop on over and make a request!
one more thing:
[Poll #628636]
and that is all. thank you.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Dec. 6th, 2005 12:57 amI finally got my ass in gear and installed firefox this morning. and dear lord I really think I'm in love. I mean, seriouly. tabbed browsers. it's like it WORKS the way I THINK.
nyarinquentas sent me Mannheim Steamroller. the one Christmas album of theirs I've not heard, bweehee. but seriously, I'd still sell souls, first-borns, and sexual favors for anything from A Fresh Aire Christmas, Mannheim Steamroller Christmas, or Christmas in the Aire. Hopefully mum and her CD-ripping dad-nagging skills will come through. and in case I have somehow made it unclear, nyarinquentas IS THE BESTEST! (possibly matched for bestestness with mllereddeath and her Christmas Oratorio upload which I await with bated breath and poke her idly to get on with so I can rock out to tympani and the soprano line. I'm so selfish)
I'm also content, and in a lull between schoolwork rushes, and looking at what may even be a full night's sleep, assuming I don't roll over onto any yummy bruises.
I'll put up a christmas cookies/candies whowantssome post tomorrow.
Somebody nag me, please (about said post, tomorrow). Y've got my IM, a bunch of y'all, and I know the ones that do are very good naggers.
(also, stupid meletor, GET YOUR VICTORIAN CHRISTMAS ICON UPLOADED. you suck.)

( So, we moved a lot of furniture today, and I basically got my ass kicked by my roommate's bed. )
And I kind of wish the people I beat up in stories were as big of weenies as I am (not wrt pain tolerance, because I've got lots of that -- I wouldn't have slowed down a bit for the bruised nerve if it weren't for the fact that it was making me dizzy -- but more wrt the fact that I have a wimpy body. I'm tough, but that's more sheer stubborness than strength) because then I'd have good writing fodder here.
...although...Jonathan's got a similar body type... *brainderail*
-----
George took me to see P&P3 tonight. Also gave me free (as in he paid for) comics this afternoon -- Batman #647 and Gotham Knights #71, the two I was ever-so-anxious to see. He's a good one. I like him.
-----
Vivs is hopefully going to snag me the BA concert cd. With some very key begging, I may also get some Manheim Steamroller from the family library. Which would be nice, because I MISS IT TO THE POINT OF TEARS.
-----
If you haven't yet, get thine ass over here and request an icon!

[ETA: lookie lookie I modded my layout! the santa hat looks a billion kinds of retarded. but I do like the header, teeheehee]

so, some may remember from last year the CHRISTMAS ICON REQUEST THINGEE!
I do. it was fun. i'mma do it again, k.
so here's the deal:
open to: everyone. don't even have to be on my flist. but, you know, it'd be nice if I knew you from somewhere or another.
starting: now! asap! let's get this show on the road!
ending: I'll probably stop taking requests a few days before Christmas. that way I can get all the icons out before the Big Day.
here's what you do:
reply here. give me a character, person, critter, image, idea, WHATNOT (if I don't think I can do it with what you've given me I'll tell you); and a Christmas carol/Christmassy song. you don't have to actually -give- me the song, just the title, but I'd be HAPPY to be given mp3s... my Christmas music is so not much now that I'm away from house, WI and also not in the BA Christmas Concert. it's sad. (songs I really really miss are listed at the bottom of the post)
here's what I do:
make the icon. post it... somewhere; find you and direct you to it. it is then yours. you are not obliged to share it.
ON THAT NOTE, LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT THE ICON PERSONALIZED (your name, nickname, or username on it) OR NOT. or if there's other, non-Christmas-song-text you want, instead of (or in addition to) the Christmas song text. I'll probably say ok, especially if I like you, but I reserve the right to say no, nope, nuh-uh, and/or no fucking way.
please request; it was a blast; I'd like to do it again
examples from last year are here. they belong tojenlan, captain_molly, drbillbongo, kingsleygirl, silverjet747, daughtermestizo, and elizile. therefore look but don't touch.
ASK AWAY! and fandom, any person, any thingee, whatever. let's do it!
<3s,
Mel
**songs I really wish I had: Christmas Waltz, Christians Be Joyful (Bach Christmas chorale dealie -- I miss it SO HARD), Adeste Fideles, excerpts from Handel's Messiah, Hard Candy Christmas, Tender Tennesee Christmas, Need A Little Christmas, Silver Bells, White Christmas with the whole intro, You're a Mean One Mister Grinch, I Don't Remember Christmas, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, Carol of the Bells, Noel Nouvelet, Jesu Bambino, Patapan, ANYTHING ELSE WE'VE DONE AT BROOKFIELD ACADEMY CONCERTS (like I'm thinking I would kill for even junk off the CDs). omg please... it is sad how much I really want to hear this stuff.
