Oh, bitchcakes!

trinityofone•Just in case anyone missed it: Further evidence that Neil Gaiman is God.
I so want an icon that says "Oh, bitchcakes" now. Of anybody. Really.
•Question: does anyone have an mp3 of "Carry That Weight" by The Beatles that they could send me? I'd Limewire it, but Trinity's network doesn't allow peer-to-peer sharing, yadda yadda yadda. I'd appreciate it muchly. ETA: I realize that it is pointless to be coy. The reason I'm asking is that the version I have cuts off at the end, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to do that, like "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," or if my copy's just mean. So, yeah: satisfy my curiousity; mock my lack of musical knowledge. (I was born in 1984, what can I say?)
•I wish I were in L.A. so that I could buy![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mciac a drink. For even more reasons than usual.
•Finally, I've been thinking it would beself-indulgent masturbatory fun to do a commentary track for one of my fics. The only question is...which one??? Obviously, as with all important decisions, I should defer to a highly-scientific LiveJournal poll.
Help decide which SGA fic I'll write commentary for!
The stories are here.
[Poll #629733]
If you have any specific questions that you want me to try to address in the eventual commentary, please comment and let me know. *is super curious*
(And yes, I know I left off "And Time," "Major Ted," and "Teeth." But I could only list 15 options and they're really short, yo! If you're violently angry, feel free to yell at me. But not too much; I'm fragile.)
I probably won't be able to actually do this until I finish my![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
undermistletoe fic and the whatsit I started for the latest sga_flashfic challenge, but week-after-nextish, maybe?
Also, I really want to do commentary for the story that honestly is the popular favorite; with that in mind, do you think it's appropriate to pimp this poll onmckay_sheppard or sga_noticeboard? Argh, I really need someone to write a Fandom Miss Manners...
Okay, back to footnotes.

Ahh, yes. I WILL do that, promise. And actually, if you can remind me where I was up to, I think I have a considerable chunk that I can send you quite soon.

Date: 2005-12-08 06:25 pm (UTC)BTW, for future reference, yousendit is really easy: you don't need an account or anything; you just go there, upload like you would any attachment, and it e-mails you the link. At least, it's easy for small files: for large ones (like TV episodes, etc.) it has a naughty tendency to crash my computer...

What can I say? I make my own fun.

Date: 2005-12-08 06:40 pm (UTC)And er, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you re: the paper, I suddenly realized last night that WOAH FINAL PROJECTS. So. *'stracted!*
(no subject)
Date: 2005-12-08 06:51 pm (UTC)And don't worry about the paper; I've pretty much collapsed into lazy-mode by now anyway. Good luck with the final projects!

Date: 2005-12-08 06:45 pm (UTC)Hey, if you want to pimp, if not, just let the results here lead you..except that where I couldn't pick a story, I'm not too much help. *smile*

You should totally drink the stuff, btw.
Bad advice will be my revenge!(no subject)
Date: 2005-12-09 03:38 pm (UTC)I just noticed that the expiration date on the drink was two weeks ago. Hmm. I may drink it anyway...

Date: 2005-12-08 07:37 pm (UTC)You will be here again someday. :) Besides, I care about your mental health, much in the way that I care about Ray's sanity. (Yes, that's why I let him lecture me about the tax code--not for my own edification.)
(no subject)
Date: 2005-12-09 03:44 pm (UTC)Seriously, though. I feel really honored and lucky that you're willing to go through that crazy shit with me. Drinks all around when I get back! Or else, I can take a shift helping Ray with unpleasant legal stuff, and you can, I don't know, go to a spa or something.
*hugs*

Date: 2005-12-09 01:39 am (UTC)It is supposed to cut off like that: 'Carry that weight' fits into the middle of 'Golden Slumbers' and 'The End'. I do have a version with the entire three songs together, but I'm not sure how our bandwidth's going. If no-one's sent you a copy by tomorrow then I'll upload it for you, just ask. :)
(no subject)
Date: 2005-12-09 03:55 pm (UTC)No one's sent me the full version yet. If your bandwidth could take it, I'd love to snag a copy from you, and I'd be happy to re-upload it to yousendit so that other people (

Date: 2005-12-12 09:11 am (UTC)But. Fic! Because Dæmonology (which has the most votes so far! yes!) blew me away, and I am incurably hungry for details - what did you leave out? The whole thing feels rich in a showing-not-telling way, but since it's commentary - what do the particular Dæmons mean, for Shepard especially? I know you may not have, like, charted snake = x, mouse = y, but I'd love to know what you were thinking about the characters.
Also. What did you like about these? Because with this kind of thing, I always end up obsessing over some detail no one else noticed. Which things did you really want to do with these people?
