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 mciac a drink. For even more reasons than usual.

•Finally, I've been thinking it would be self-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 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 on mckay_sheppard or sga_noticeboard? Argh, I really need someone to write a Fandom Miss Manners...

Okay, back to footnotes.

ohman. I still, still, god, finals be OVER already, still want to commentate inhibited/down from mt olympus/something wicked so I can explain just how freaking much I love your Sheppard adn why you write the best Sheppard in the whole universe, because seriously, those three stories, they're like the John Trilogy or maybe the gospel, except that would be morethe priest story, and omg, I need to end this sentence DIRECTLY.

anyway. yes. so I voted for two of my other favorites, self-interestedly. (y)!

Hee! I'm so glad I sent you that song! I might have to start sending you all my favorite J/R songs, just in case you decide to obsess about them, too! *g*

Re: Carry That Weight - I have a mp3 version, but is there anyway I can send it over email/aim as I am not hip with the yousendit and such accounts?

?

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!*

I can't pick a story..I can't pick a story..!!*smile*

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*

Curse you and your poll! I was scrolling down, expecting a third and fourth and fifth choice, but alas...
Bah. Decisions.

You should totally drink the stuff, btw. Bad advice will be my revenge!

I wish I were in L.A. so that I could buy mciac a drink.

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.)

I have no idea what Energise Red Citrus is but I figure drink it and find out is always a good answer. *g*

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

I just can't wait to read commentary of any kind, so go for it, yo. :D

And also: OMG NEIL GAIMAN SQUEE! I keep thinking that I could not love that man any more, and then he does stuff like that. I died. Eeee!

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. :)

Oh, bitchcakes

Why must Neil Gaiman be a real person? Why can't he truly be a fictional character? That way we wouldn't feel this delightful pain at wondering at his splendidness.

[afearfulthing.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, I think I'm the only commenter asking fic questions... I feel so geeky.

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?
