Hey! Want to make me really incredibly happy? Watch the video in the link below. (Or, don't watch it and just vote for it anyway.)

If you like it, register with the site and vote for it. It'll take you, like, two minutes tops. Or, of you don't like it, register and vote for it anyway? Voting ends May 8th, so...

I didn't make this. I usually don't pimp these things either, but I owe favors. If you are so kind as to vote for it (and make my day incredibly happy, as I have mentioned) drop a comment and you'll get-- something. Not sure what. A paragraph of fic, an interesting link, a picture, a compliment, a nuclear launch code-- you'll never know unless you do it.

I've been reading Amazing Pace which is probably better than Beneath the Surface because it's much more factual and very useful if you're like me and want the exact who-what-when-where facts for swimming and the slashing thereof. I'm thinking of typing up excerpts, because for a factual book, it amuses me with the way it phrases things. I'm sure it doesn't mean to sound all homogay, but damn. Also, there's a picture of him doing his first pre-meet shave which makes me think of the Harry Potter fandom and its similar badtouch!connotations.

One of the people on my friends-list drew my attention to someone illegally selling posters of Zack from FFVII, something I had vaguely noted on one of the communities I follow. (Locked entry, otherwise I'd link it.) On the one hand, it's not like fanartists also don't sell prints and commissions. On the other hand, they usually did the artwork themselves, and didn't just take an official image, slap a border on it, and sell it. I mean, both illegal, but one at least has a little more effort put into it. I feel like the poster of Zack should have at least had a mustache drawn on, or something.

Basically, what I'm saying with this, is that it made me think that there should be a poster of Zack that says "Ceci n'est pas une Cloud." Or vice versa, I'm not picky.

The header-quote is coming from the fact that if you're a Warren Ellis fan and yet don't read his blog, you should really check out his Edison hate future series anyway. The link doesn't show all of them; you'll have to hunt about or wait a few days as the site's undergoing some changes.

The Super Troopers trivia was way more interesting than I thought it would be: In the syrup-chugging scene in the diner, the first few takes were done with the actors drinking thick iced tea from syrup containers, but the iced tea didn't look realistic enough. Real syrup was brought in, and the actors then did several takes in which they actually chugged entire bottles of syrup. These are the takes you see in the close-ups, however, some wide shots with the iced tea were kept in.

That takes dedication to being an actor, man.

Every now and then I do a random picture spam. The last time I did it, I'm pretty sure it was a Pope-spam. This time, I just took six random pictures from my amusement folders and tried to link them all in some way.

Well, what are you waiting for? )

Every now and then I look at my last drabble-request meme and feel really bad that I only ever did, you know, one of them. I do promise to get around to the rest in the next year or so. In the meantime, how about the one-line drabble meme? Give me a character or pairing and I'll write one line of fic. Maybe even a long line. The usual array of fandoms, and if I knew your originals well enough, feel free.
