Do tell?!

Back from holiday = Bad

Holiday was awesome = Good

All your birthday wishes = Even more AWESOME. Thank you.

Yuletide story has been FINISHED* and is off to beta #2 = Wicked awesome. I am so pleased I may write another. Or maybe I will write [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 something to thank her for my most crazy wicked awesome (yes, I’m on a awesome kick) birthday story evar Sir Brad the Dragon Slayer! That’s right! Brad! Slaying DRAGONS! [does Snoopy dance] Read eeet! Then you can thank me. And her. Mostly her. ETA: [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 posted my second birthday story NATE THE PIMP NO. That's not a typo. Inorite?!

*Special thanks to [livejournal.com profile] thisisbone because her saying she was done basically motivated me to get off my ass and sort it out.


Also, I have a whole lot of emails entitled ‘Anderson/Michael Phelps’ I cannot begin to tell you how fast I thought somebody had written that or that people wanted me to write it and then I found out that Anderson was totally using his media powers on 60 Minutes to perv on Michael Phelps and I laughed for a very very long time. Oh, Anderson, never change. Even George approves of this one.

It appears my entire flist has exploded in a stream of Merlin confetti. I know it’s bad because I was reading some this morning and LIKING IT and I don’t even know what it’s about. I mean I have an idea but my reference points are The Once and Future King and Sword in the Stone. Only gayer than S1 Smallville apparently. I cave. Where can I start watching?

Today I plan to write something. Yeah, I dunno what. That’s all I got.

Baby, stale cupcakes are A-OK since my [livejournal.com profile] yuletide story is done. I like the story so much I considered just posting it and then writing something else for my recipient, but no, I shall be strong. And Anderson was NOT slick. He just happened to have those swim trunks with him? Ninja please! Actually, no, he's definitely not a ninja. But he was hysterically funny.

Merlin! I am now on episode two of Merlin. Merlin looks like a baby, skinny James Marsden. I wouldn't do him myself, but he and Arthur are very snarky together and there's a matchmatching dragon. I want to AU them stat. I had a moment where I though that they were like Ray K and Fraser, but in Camelot. Really.

You would be in distinguished company. The fandom has already spawned a fratboy AU, a fashionista AU, a hospital AU, and god, I don't know. CRACK: it's what's for dinner. Camelot: it is a silly place!

Also, this show has had me quoting Monty Python far too much.

Personally, I blame [livejournal.com profile] rageprufrock because I was fine and then she was all, LOOK! Arthur is the Prince of Wales and I was like, "wait, what? Okay, fine I will watch the source material."

I've already hollered at [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 to get watching stat so she can start flinging AU ideas at me to see what sticks.

I told her that the best way to watch this was to forget everything you know about Camelot and just think of it as a show with two boys who just happened to be named Arthur and Merlin.
