Thank you, Kat, and other important messages from your sponsor.

1. [livejournal.com profile] musesfool on making recs, being recced and thinking ‘WTF, I did that where’s my love?!’. I don’t have a rec policy, I just recommend what hits me at a given time. Friend or not friend, any fandom, if something rings hard and I’m in the mood to recc, I will. I don’t rec people just because they’re my mates, or I’d do nothing else all day, and I don’t rec something just because everyone else does. It’s like the man says everybody’s free to rec – or not.

2. Live Journal to be sold? Get those six-month LJ packages now before the price goes up! (gacked from [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn

3. Dead Like Me on the WB?

4. Pigs flying.

5. Things to write:

1. More Fireman!Ray for [livejournal.com profile] silverakira 06.01.05
2. Much delayed OC/SV for [livejournal.com profile] elynrae
3. [livejournal.com profile] yuletide unfulfilled request YAYE! 05.01.05
4. TM-verse (eventually)

This list is all well and good, except I'm having a problem. I have things to write, but I seem incapable of writing them. Like the words won't come. They are blocked. It's an awful feeling. Perhaps I am trying to do too much at one time. Too many ideas. I need to do something small. Anyone got anything inspirational they wanna fling my way? Music, pictures, improv words? Help!

6. New Lost and Alias tonight. Fear the power of JJ Abrams, bitches!


Special aside: I'm much more of a giver than a taker, and I don't always receive gifts particularly well, as some people know, but I'm always touched when people give me things of their own free will, just because they can. So, you know, [livejournal.com profile] kattiya: thank you for the lovely Xmas presents. I appreciate them greatly.

My firewall at work blocked yousendit so music's a no go, but I can offer my favorite lyrics of the moment and a freshly made theodore icon. Oh and the news that Cillian's going to be a villian in the new Batman movie, hence the eyewear.

Oh, sweetie, thank you!! :) You are far too good to me. *runs off to play with new music and new icon::

Dead Like Me on the WB?

I don't know whether to be happy I could see it on a channel I get (instead of catching up on reruns at the in-laws' house) or be scared that the WB will destroy it.

Don't have much in the way of music to offer, although I have been listening to Golden Brown by The Stranglers (http://s16.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=27B19IWRMQ01H3FQ1UE2XURKQD) rather a lot. And also Brad Pitt's unintelligible caravan request (http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0J6MQ4YYDKHF23AVOSGAF045XF), but that's just because I'm a dork.

Like the words won't come. They are blocked. It's an awful feeling.

Gah, it is godawful. Except it happens to me all the time, and always at very inopportune moments, such as when I'm writing papers.

However, when I'm looking to do improv, I use either [livejournal.com profile] 15minuteficlets or oneword (http://www.oneword.com) to try and prod out some inspiration.

It's like you're bringing Snatch into my office. Heh.

okay, I'm not entirely sure if my music taste and yours will coincide in any way... but this particular song made me write a fic of my own and I can't help but toss it at people. It's very strange. *nods firmly* Two boys from tel aviv. Yea. Http://www.velutlunas.com/Converting_Vegetarians.mp3

you might like these two boys as well, and they offer dl:

and oh! one more random band for you... *sheeps* This is my funk industrial band. Most of their songs are strangely just musical masturbation... but if they still have Kerosene up for DL take it. It's brill! http://www.skeletonkey.org/skeleton-key/audio.html

I'm fairly certain that our musical tastes don't mesh at all, but you never know until you try, right? :D http://s3.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2CPNQCGPXC82P0WRLGELGUMJ1V

(I feel as though I should include some sort of disclaimer where I point out that I'm not a loser and this song does not actually remind me of Remus. A) because he's not a girl, and B) he's not a murderer. But it does sort of remind me of the Marauder era in that I can see some poor mudblood girl trying to cope with the war, or maybe some poor abused pureblood trying to cope with the war.

Or just witches trying to cope with the war, really. Ok, I'm really going to stop babbling now.)

Thank you for the song :)

What? Did I inspire panic in the ranks? My bad!
