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. [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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!

Well, I friended you a while ago, but I never really introduced myself, so: Hi, I'm Siri and I read quite a bit of your fic, even in fandoms that I'm not all that aquainted with. Before I got an lj (and was a terrible lurker of many people, too afraid to leave anonymous comments for fear of...I seriously have no clue), but anyway, back in my lurker days, it was your LotRips fic that finally pushed me over the edge and made me give into the temptation that was RPS. I'm pretty sure I've never read a fic of yours I didn't like, and I've read quite a few of your fics. Anyway, I think that's really about it...I'm pretty harmless so, really, so don't mind me. I'm just the girl in the back, reading and drinking orange juice.
