Hot on the heels of my greatest victory comes what will undoubtedly be my least edgy fanmix to date. You know what? I'm sorry. There, done.

Medium: Books
Fandom: Anne of Green Gables
Title: Triumphant
Subject: Leslie Moore/Owen Ford
Warnings: Probably spoilers for Anne's House of Dreams. Rather high on estrogen.

( dangerously cheesy )

I have my notebook open here where I was writing stuff down about scholarship apps and deadlines at some point. It quickly devolves into loops, and then after that looks like this:

LOST QUESTIONS
-How does Ethan survive the DHARMA purge?
-Where is Daniel D:??
-How does Radzinsky survive the DHARMA purge?
-Why does that guy on my bus look so much like John Locke?

You can tell how old it is because a.) I didn't know where Daniel was and b.) I was still operating under the assumption that Whatever Happened, Happened.

Under that it gets much more interesting:
( Spin-offs of LOST )

I got a college-y piece of junk mail in the ol' electronic inbox just now, and the subject was "What College Degrees Pay the MOST?"

I was too sad to open it. I'm pretty sure "Scandinavian" is not one of the answers.

Look, if nothing else, it at least has the Spanish version of I'm Too Sexy, okay?

Title: Soy Tan Sexy
Notes: 9 songs: 5 are mp3s, 4 are m4as.



( yeah all I really want is )

I hope you didn't think I was kidding about this.

Okay also my computer is back. And I was not kidding about the Batmanuel fanmix, which is not very done and probably very short, for which I'm sure you're all exceedingly grateful.

Have you all forgotten who Batmanuel is? Okay great here:





I can't tell if those are both in English because I'm at work right now and thus have no sound. Sorry, guys, time to be bilingual.

ETA: I really want to watch Space Jam.

ETA 2: I just looked up the wiki page for Quad City DJ's and this is the end of the overview:

After 1996, the band faded away into mediocrity and disappointment. They will mostly be remembered for lyrics about taking "ride[s][on] choo choo trains" and making "summer jam[s]." The latter referring to making more songs about choo choo trains.

HAHAHA well played.

in case you were wondering, the iPhone 3G is a monster and this is why:

-my laptop charger may or may not be dead
-I have a warranty because lol this happened like a few months ago, whoops
-I went to the Apple store
-all the "Geniuses" were busy selling the iPhones
-no tech support available until Monday
-no APPOINTMENTS available until Tuesday

so if you're wondering why you're staring at my whining instead of a Batmanuel fanmix this lovely morning, now you know.

also this just happened:

me: You need to complete [class] before you can take [subsequent class]
phone person: Are those those Saturday classes?
me: I... really couldn't say, you'd have to check the sched--
phone person: Because those are so lame and stupid...

which honestly is the funniest defense I've heard all day, and also the worst. NICE TRY SUCKA

either that or

Wow, did I take long enough? In case you were wondering, I tried not to make it toooo far from the plot, but it probably suits my Kavar fanfic oneshot trilogy pretty closely. In case you were wondering, here they are in chronological order according to when they take place (completely different from when they were written): Dreams, Stars, Nightmares; Departure; Defenseless (p.s. Defenseless and Dreams, Stars, Nightmares might have a smallll continuity problem. go away)

AS PROMISED!

Medium: Video Games
Fandom: Star Wars (Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords)
Subject: Master Kavar/Exile
Title: Precious and Fragile Things
Warnings: Spoilahhhs!
Notes: I guess it could be argued that there is a lot of conjecture here, but I tried to keep it as much in the canon as I could. Only 2 mp3s, the rest are m4as.



( I could tell that you were different )

I'M NEVER USING RICH TEXT TO FORMAT EVER AGAIN. AUGH I JUST SPENT LIKE 15 MINUTES FIXING THIS STUPID POST.

I don't think any Star Wars luuurve mix would be quite complete without Across the Stars, really. Except maybe a Han/Leia one, because they have their own theme.

Kudos to:

-lady_boromir, whose idea this was in the first place! also she uses that Bookman font and only after she mentioned it did I realize how useful it was.
-alakazaz for humoring me and also for beta-ing the front cover art and figuring out why it looked so crappy before.
-and paigederosa, because I still listen to that Kavar Love Theme ALL the TIME.

I'm sure you'll all be happy to know that I am super close to finalizing the Kavar/Exile mix that lady_boromir requested about six million decades ago.

Also, work just got really slow.

And I want Sun Chips.

And I think that's all.

I love that I can change my icon from Sophia to Elaine and not really have to change the background. I figure with the new MI and the rerelease of the old MI coming out, it was necessary to have a Monkey Island icon. &hearts

Work's been slow and I've been putting together another mosaic thing. Honestly, you guys are going to hate these in like a minute.

This is kind of sad, in retrospect, but basically what this is is a mosaic of 36 of my favorite pairings in the entire world. I guess some of these might have spoilers for some... things. What do you care? I promise they don't all even happen. I tried not to make anything spoilery much? Again, I don't think you care. The more you can name, by the way, the cooler you are. (Kidding. I guess you can be cool anyway.)

( all we really need to survive is one person who truly loves us )

So I was playing around on Big Huge Labs last night and I was like, you know what would go good in that mosaic maker?

pictures of attractive males.

( nothing offensive I just don't want it to be like AUGH BIG without a warning )

I love spending time on IMDb because I learn things like this, so I want you to guess which LOST actor did the voice of Señor Senior Jr. on Kim Possible:



( and the winner is... )

Last... winter? Summer? Anyway, sometime before Season 4 of LOST started, my friend Emily decided it was my job to explain the whole series thus far to her, and so I made this massive character guide that was accurate for about a minute and then season 5 happened and rendered most of it moot. (Incidentally, the guide, lecture, and youtube playlist together took roughly 8 and a half hours to get through.)

I'm updating the character guide now. (Not NOW now. When I get home.) Adding the newly important characters (I've come up with Lapidus, Ilana, Ricardus &hearts, and Jacob--should I add Pierre Chang? Or anyone else?) is not that hard. Updating the other characters' biographies will be nothing short of laborious. (LABORIOUS OKAY.)

But that's not the problem. I've got something like 3 months if I want it done by the end of the summer, 7-8 if I just need it done before LOST starts again. No, the problem is just two words long:

CURRENT. LOCATION.

One of the fields I have on every character bio is Current Location. Last season, that wasn't so bad. A few "unknown"s, but mostly "on the Island," "off the Island," "deceased".

This season, not so simple. We know where Walt is. We know where the dead people are. But everyone else?

Two possibilities I've thought of: replace "Current Location" with "Last Known Location" or "Last Seen," or else assume all the people in 2007 are still on the Island in 2007, and then do something else with the 1977 people. (What about Juliet? Do I mark her "deceased" or give her the benefit of the doubt?)

I'm actually supposed to be working on my financial aid, you know.

anyway thanks for bearing with me. to make this post a little prettier, here:

Guys, I am kind of concerned.

What is this world coming to when my Sylar/Claire fanmix gets over twice as many downloads as my next most downloaded fanmix?

Not that I mind. But I guess I thought more people would be like "OH GOSH NO". That's cool though, cutting people's heads open is pretty hot I guess. (I wish that were sarcasm, but if you saw last season you know what I mean when I say it ain't.)

My next highest, btw, is John Steed/Emma Peel from the Avengers, which: good taste, people. It also has the most comments, I think, which goes to show you that people are way more willing to be open about this one than Sylaire, I guess? Not that I blame you.

so the third most downloaded is Benjamin Linus, love of my life (#834), and then fourth is Sydney Carton from A Tale of Two Cities (and I'd like to apologize for the crappy front cover art on that one, LOL).

Fifth and sixth for now are my newest ones, which makes sense I guess. I don't know why ANYone wouldn't want a Daniel Faraday fanmix with Linkin Park on it or whatever, but you know what, maybe it's just too soon in the grieving process for some people. I gotcha.

As for the Desmond/Penny fanmix, I blame the facts that a.) it's new and b.) there really wasn't enough of them last season for people to care as much as they probably would have at the end of season 4. BUT IT'S OKAY. PLEASE DON'T LET US EVER SEE THEM AGAIN AS LONG AS THEY STAY ALIVE. IT'S ALL OKAY.

anyway.

cool, this burned a lot of time. AS YOU WERE.

p.s. inspired by alakazaz, I am writing a crossover crackfic right now. just wanted to point out that I'm sorry if your particular favorite ST:TOS crewmember doesn't make it onto the Island, but with the Golden Girls already there, I'm juggling 11 characters. I have such an appreciation for people who do this well and for a living right now. 11 main characters!

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD



BUT THEY'RE MAKING A NEW MONKEY ISLAND.

Guys, next year is the TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY of Monkey Island. TWENTIETH. It's been NINE YEARS since the last game and these games... I've been playing them since I was two years old. (I say that too often. My friend lives next door to one of the project leads of the original MIs, and I told him that. He was incredibly chill about it; I would have broken out the mace if it were me. But that's another story.)

Honestly.

OH AND THEY'RE RERELEASING MI1 WITH DELUXE EDITIONOSITY.



You don't have to watch that whole thing. But if you feel so inclined, I highly recommend it.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU, THEN?

Basically, nothing, unless you want to seize this opportunity to play Monkey Island 1 in a way that doesn't require a DOS emulator. The beautiful thing about the deluxe edition is that you can switch between the pixel version and the new version, apparently, so you can get the accessible happy snappy version AND you can still play the beautiful rustic version that all the lunatic fans rave about even in this age of three dimensions and all that stuff.

Also, I'm going to be talking about it a lot. a LOT.

( you make everything all right )

I don't know if YOU guys like the cover art, but personally, I kind of was really happy with the back cover on this one. For both covers, I used this tutorial but messed around with settings, I think mostly in the first step. But honestly, it's 2 steps, so messing around with it is not massively time-wasting.

I STILL LOVE THIS MOODTHEME. Every once in a while I'm like "maybe it should be LOST or Star Wars or something," and then I get bald Jafar and I laugh my head off.

Hi.

Can we just agree for one second now that, while Annie being Charlotte or Kate might have made sense at one point, we can now see why neither of those would make any sense at all anymore?

Thanks.

XOXO

I started making this fanmix THE NIGHT before I watched The Variable. In fact, I believe that would mean that The Variable had already aired, but due to my school schedule, I couldn't watch it until the next day, and I was like "oh, tomorrow's a Daniel episode yaaay!" And at the time, I was positive Des was going to die but I was coming to terms with it.

Anyway. I think we all know how that turned out. So this is really more like a tribute now.

NEVER 4GET.

anyway the reason it took so long was I couldn't figure out what to do for the cover :P

in other news, how off is my sleep schedule? So off.

ohhh my goooosh I don't even hate Ana Lucia anymore after rewatching "The Other 48 Days".

I know, you needed to know. It's important to me, okay?

Also, I watched the AI finale last night without watching any of the season and idc, I love Danny Gokey. h8rs to the left.
