Touching your nose means you've got a secret to share, right?



What does RSL know?

It's chippers87's birthday! Hope it's a happy one!

PS. Oops, sorry for not crediting the GIF - made by chickloveslotr!

We have been listening to Tribe this morning, and DAMN, I love this band. The video for Supercollider reminds me of a Nightdog 'verse. : )



(I have to admit I listened to "Mr. Lieber" (lyrics here) more than once while writing the li'l bastard Jimmy-verse.)

PS. Sorry if you got a spam email from my account - it wasn't me! Have changed my password and am scanning my PC for viruses. Sigh.

( Based on promos for next week (Fox + Global), here is some speculation for Ep 5-10 and after )

In unrelated news, who's going to buy Wilson the Mangroomer for Xmas?

Holy CRAP, Jesse Spencer's gorgeous! Thank you for cutting that hair, BB.

Omar who? RS-who?

( Other people say there are old SPOILERS in these vids; I have no idea because I don't have sound on )

A great clip from Stephen Colbert. It highlights the injustice of two sweet guys getting hassled and arrested for nothing. Plus some awesome make-out scenes! (Not the two real guys.)

I finished four mini-DVD Commentaries for the recent meme.

"Not Near Enough" for hannahrorlove

The beginning of "Comes a Day" for hibernia1

The epilogue to "Arureos: Greek for Rat" for chocolate_frapp

The end of "Green" for hwshipper

Given that Mr. L feels no compunction about pointing out random women on the street he thinks he'd enjoy sleeping with, I'd say I'd roll my eyes. He tells me he's going to get a girlfriend; I tell him to find one who'll do some of the household chores.

Besides, how can I deny Mr. L any fantasies, when he's well aware I'd climb down RSL's pants if the opportunity arose?

Here is a meme what I stole from Sabine and Topaz:

Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from anything I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Real-Life: Last night's fun things included a live concert of an awesome singer/guitarist, enjoyed with an even more awesome friend. \o/ The chairs in the venue left a little to be desired, but on the other hands, the manager gave me free chips. \o/ \o/ \o/

I like this short gem by moose_mcmoose, Bullfrog Look. Good characterization and safe for friendshippers. Summary: Wilson doesn't feel well. House is nice-ish and comforts him.

I am about to go out and do real-life fun things! On a Wednesday night! This is shocking.

Some people were especially awesome to me during my hiatus last night, and I would like to thank them profusely.

*thanks thanks thanks*
*hugs hugs hugs*

C.S. Lewis said, "Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: 'What! You too? Thought I was the only one.'"

While those words haven't left my lips (or fingertips), the thought has been there with each of the good friends I've made on LJ, and it is truly a blessing.

Taking a night's hiatus. If you need to get in touch with me, email me.

Jokes particularly welcome.

Bammel? Sabine? Spoggly? Namaste?

queenzulu makes a compelling case for a House-AU of mine being anti-feminist here. It's very thought-provoking. Anything you'd be interested to add? I'd love to hear more analysis and opinions.

Please note that this is critical analysis of text/writing, not of me as a person. There is implication throughout the commentary about an author's responsibility for the end product of a work, which is an important idea that needs to be considered.

Title: Til You Know What You Want

Yep, this is me.

You are The Hierophant

Divine Wisdom. Manifestation. Explanation. Teaching.

All things relating to education, patience, help from superiors.The Hierophant is often considered to be a Guardian Angel.

The Hierophant's purpose is to bring the spiritual down to Earth. Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist.

Hi. I feel the need to mention something tonight, because I'm afraid some on my f-list might get hurt if I don't 'fess up.

I find out-of-character writing and certain misuse of the English language very, very funny. I love house_mst; I love the funny parts of the original MST show; I belong to wrongworddammit and summary_fail.

The intent is never to laugh at a person; it's merely the words on a page or screen that are amusing. My own mistakes in writing are funny; my friends' mistakes in writing are funny.

People who are trying to learn the English language as teens or adults, and trying to sincerely communicate -- their mistakes are generally not funny. ... Well, unless they are. The tour guide in Amsterdam who mentioned the need to combat "smugglery" got a warm laugh from the Americans in the boat. English language is hard, dude. If one crime is burglary, why wouldn't the other be smugglery? Given how hard learning a second language is, though, merely not being in perfect command of English is certainly understandable and won't provoke a second thought in me.

Some stuff is just funny, though. If I ever hurt you or a friend by laughing, please email me or comment, and let me know. I don't want to hurt you; I don't want to be mean.

It's more fun to laugh together. XD XD

WOW

Have you ever given someone a challenge and thought, "Well, it's impossible; they'll never do it, but it's sweet they're going to try," only to have that person conquer the challenge so soundly that you're left shaking in awe?

queenzulu made a constructed reality vid for my "Pillory" AU. Remember that? Three years ago for the "Come as You Aren't" challenge, I created a very alternate universe for House and Wilson with a very strict Code of gender roles (as Gileonnen recently put it, "deep, gendered creepiness"). The AU continued with the prequels "Covenant" and "Allison Is a Quick Study."

Zulu found a visual representation for these stories by combining video from different sources, and oh sweet heaven, she made it work. It is stunning, beyond my imagination. It is every bit as dark and hopeful and loving and creepy and enmeshed and twisted and thought-provoking as I wanted "Pillory" to be.

First Wife by queenzulu

Note: I would rate the vid R rather than NC-17, but it does contain disturbing images. See Zulu's warning if you are concerned.

I am trying not to get too excited, because of that whole chicken-counting aphorism, but... somebody is working on something for me and it might be ready tomorrow!

YAY!!!

PS. It has nothing to do (as far as I know) with Kutner. But he's such a cutie-pants, I wanted him on this post.

PPS. Mare has committed yet more awesome fic: Caught, a remix of topaz_eyes's "Stealth Karma." Warm and floaty.
