The countdown has begun.

1. There have been a lot of new friendings happening recently, so you know, introduce yourselves! Why are you acting like you have no home training? Your mums would be appalled.

2. I got an OC calendar in a gift exchange and I bought the S1 DVDs yesterday. I believe this is now the time for me to ask for a divorce? Is this how I works again? I did see last night's episode though, and very much adore Sandy and Ryan. serialkarma and I were discussing the non-hotness of Lindsey's mom and we've chalked it up to her not being a Newport resident. Hot people only in city limits. Also, my Ryan-adoration really knows no bounds at this point.

3. It seems that everybody and their grandparents is in the yuletide/sekritholidayperson crunch, so I thought I'd throw up some inspirational (well, for me) music. At least the stuff is fast-paced.

a. Turin Brakes - Pain Killer -- I heart Olly and Gale, not because they're friends of friends, but because they write wicked songs with lyrics like 'You need something better than the bacon and eggs/ The creaking in the walls and the banging in the bed'

b. Elbow - Buttons and Zips and Elbow - Snooks (Progress Report) -- I couldn't decide between the two, and since I'm trying to coax circe_tigana into the Elbow fold I thought I should put up both.

c. Gomez - Here Comes the Breeze -- Okay, this isn't really fast-paced, but to know The 'Mez is to love them, and I love this song, so just download it!

d. Jay Z - 99 Problems -- Because, yes, I know, not getting these stories done on time does feel like 99 Problems.

e. And because nothing I do is compelete without them: I present Ryan Adams singing about hookers (Tina Toledo's Street Walking Blues) and Jeff Buckley singing in French (Je n'en Connais Pas la Fin)*

Go forth and Merlin speed!

*The quality on this recording isn't as good because this was made back before his mother decided not to kick people off Napster for looking for rare stuff. Not that I was bitter when that happened, no. Of course not. Also, yes I did name that HP trilogy after this song, because Jeff is singing in French!

Hallo. You posted my favourite Gomez song and Jeff Buckley singing in French. *friends you at lightspeed* I think our CD collections would like each other if they met at a party, and that idea was so incredibly stolen from Nick Hornby. Music and words are my two true loves and they have never let me down yet. (I await the incestuous threesome with anticipation.)

I do like films, but don't see them often because I'm lazy and broke. However, if the film has subtitles (Afterlife) /warrants close analysis (Memento) /is Canadian (Wilby Wonderful), I am far more likely to haul meself off the 'pooter. Extra seeing-it points if said film is part of a film festival, although style points may drop into the negs on account of the pretentious.

My interests and such are public on lj. Look me up (or not) for more details. And I do hope mum's happier with me now!

I can't even remember when I friended you..... trying to think if it was recently. I think it was when you asked for Zach icons, and then I just added you. Sorry. ;-) And of course there is the GREATNESS that is Telegraph Avenue that lead me to your journal in the first place. Best.... OC Fic..... Ever.....

Hello! I'm sorry I'm so late in introducing myself, even after the prompt. Old lurker habits die hard, apparently. *blushes*

I <3 popslash, HP slash and sometimes het. I've lurked for over 2 years now, and I'm finding that even though I thought I'd seen it all in that amount of time, actually participating is a whole 'nother ball game. I'm a college student, and a serious amatuer musician. Anything else you want to know about me, just ask! :D

I love love love your Thousandth Man universe and Contract. I'm not sure how I stumbled here back in the day, but I think it had to do with being recced over at crack_van.
