We're a happy family.

So... ::rubs hands together::

a. Theodore is back from holiday, and we've, uh, had some talks. There won't be two more sections of Thousandth Man, there will only be one.

b. Comm reccs of the day: oceanfic for your Ocean's 11 fic needs (there's some really great stuff here), aurgasm* for music and pimpicons** for well, icons WTF, can't you read?

c. nifra_idril proclaimed today Tell Someone You Heart Them Day and I was all, 'well, sheeet, are you lot feeling under-appreciated or summat?' Cos you know I think you're all fabulous, really. If you're feeling needy, drop me a comment and I will either profess my adoration or write you a wee drabbley thing. I think. Wait, this is how I wound up writing 45 drabbles two years ago. Uh, no. Okay, first twelve people get love or a drabble.

Good Omens 1, 2; Smallville 1; Greek Mythology 1; This Life 1; Lost 1; Harry Potter 1 (H/D); due South 1

d. So, why didn't anybody tell me about 24 before? Damn, talk about cracktastic. What's the Jack/Ronnie story?

e. Cookies for all the people who know what brilliant show tarar based my default icon on. I was going to write some HP porn, but now I don't know. Somebody needs to get laid. Jesus, I just thought about Crowley trying to explain to Aziraphale why lust is considered a sin and then Aziraphale was all 'you don't hear people screaming Satan when they orgasm, do you?'*** It was v funny in my head at any rate.


*ding ding, tarar, applyingmyself and qe2

**gacked from the lovely silverakira

***Not that Aziraphale had much experience with what humans shouted when they climaxed, but he'd been around for a long time and he'd read a few tawdry romance novels in his day. None of them by Barbara Cartland though.

Music 102. The Education of Circe.

Snow Patrol (http://www.snowpatrol.net): Four upstanding Irish boys who met while at uni in Scotland in 1994. Have been around for quite some time (see, Songs for Polar Bears (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000G6O4/qid=1105666544/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/702-9163677-4312845) released in 98), but have finally broken the U.S. market with their gorgeous Final Straw (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001MZ7ZK/qid=1105666697/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/702-9163677-4312845). See singles, Run and Chocolate. Have been heralded as 2004's Coldplay, but I disagree; I think it sells them short. Are also enjoyed for their quirky song titles: ex. LP When it's all Over we Still have to Clear Up (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000059N1Z/qid=1105666544/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/702-9163677-4312845). Singer, Gary lLightbody also has a side project, the Reindeer Section (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00006BTA7/qid=1105666815/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/702-9163677-4312845), which is also brilliant.

Turin Brakes (http://www.turinbrakes.com/), another group of UK singer/songwriters (sue me, I know what I like) Gale and Olly, aren't just adorable, but really they're adorable. Also, they went to school together (http://www.turinbrakes.co.uk/history-cartoon.html) and have been playing together longer than uh, some people have been alive. Their first LP was The Optimist LP (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000594XF/qid=1105666870/sr=2-3/ref=sr_2_1_3/702-9163677-4312845) but it's with their 2003 LP Ether Song (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00008GQC6/qid=1105667155/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/002-0454683-9249651?v=glance&s=music&n=507846) that they're realling winning people over, and for the record, the video for Long Distance? Stellar. Melodic and heartfelt, much in that Elbow and Alexi Murdoch vein.

I own the Final Straw album. Love Snow Patrol, just haven't seen the vids. I didn't know their history though, very cool.
