Multiplicity

[stoney321]

In a world with horse screwers and Mrs. Berlin Wall, I find it interesting that I'm the only person writing Squidbillies/Harry Potter fanfic. Just when you think you've hit the bottom of the crazy barrel, you find that there's a whole 'nother layer of crazy down there. (MARRIED. To the Berlin Wall. Married? MARRIED! Jeez. <-- Sixteen Candles shout out!)

Things I'm glad about:

• The minimum wage increase, which helps the worker (even though it screws over the small businessman) <-- lets get some tax reform in there to alleviate the burden on the shrinking middle class, 'kay?
• FNL last night - Oh, Matt. My secret TV boyfriend. His relationship with Julie makes my chest hurt with love. That RIGHT THERE is how kids really are. It's not perfect, they don't say what they should, and everything's in their eyes when they look at each other. I still want to be Connie Taylor when I grow up.
• I'm finally catching up on Rome. DUDE. That's a TERRIFIC show. Best TV quote in the history of talking: "Large Penis is always welcome." Ahaha.
• My dog. My dog snorgling the cats.
• Random fic recs like this: a Barty Crouch/Crouch Jr. drabble here. Ooooh. That one's nice and dark. And a random Skwisgaar/Toki fic that doesn't make me want to spork my eyes, yay! (why am I getting into a fandom with HS-aged kids? *crie*
• had a whole night of no choking/coughing, yay! I haaaaaate being sick. Except it affords me time on the computer, and I'm slowly catching up on fic/etc.
• tonight is the BEST NIGHT FOR COMEDY on TV. The Office! 30 Rock! SCRUBS! Woooot.

I've been feeling very disconnected from things - people, fandom, anything creative/intelligent - and I've decided to take the bull by the horns and just wade in and fix it. Starting with some crack. I hope to have actual fic (of the non-crack variety) written today. (And *cough* if those of you who got a fic from me three weeks ago could you know... SAY SOMETHING about it, that would be super. :D No pressure! I'm just imagining it sucks. This is the boarding school fic. Jess, not you. I know you've been busy.)

I've got more character playlists/music files for uploading under the cut. Feel free to share links.

As I mentioned yesterday, all files have been converted to .wma or .mp3. (I prefer mp4, but evidently not a lot of players accept that format, which sucks, because it sounds richer.) If you find a file you can't play, head over to ZamZar and convert it to what works for you. You'd be amazed at the emails I've gotten over the years bitching about free music. Sheesh.

Spike/Angel

Playlist/notes here, discs [1] [2] [3]

This was made for dovil, so there are joke songs. BUT THEY WORK. Again, there's not anything in here that I wouldn't listen to, so even though "Winds of Change" is a silly song, it has the best whistle intro EVER. Hahaha. Ha. and I totally music-geeked out in the liner notes on some of the songs. Spike/Angel. It doesn't get better than these two, imo. Unless it's Angel/Connor.


Spike/Xander

Playlist/notes here, discs [1] [2]

Now... I'm not a S/X shipper. Not remotely. True, there have been fics I've read and really enjoyed - they've made it work for me - but it's not my cup of tea. I did try and do it justice for those of you who DO like the pairing.


Wesley

Playlist/notes here, discs [1] [2]

This was the second request I got in the project, and I was still figuring out how to make these work. But overall I'm pretty happy with it. As the character went from a buffoon to one of the darkest and most twisted character in the series, so does the music. Aaaaaaaand there's music-geekery in the notes. :)

Man, I miss this show.

And won't someone think of the children come do all of my laundry and scoop the cat boxes for me? All I want to do is lay on my back on the tile of my kitchen and have someone feed me hot soup.

RE: Large penis-- You just KNOW that gilded turtle he was carrying was a regift...

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

It was SO a re-gift. I love that show! Why did I wait so long to get into it? "His skin looks... dry. He should be oiled." *passes out*

[thepiratequeen.livejournal.com]

Wait. Wait.

Are you and the intrawebs trying to tell me that there is a woman who is married to the BERLIN WALL????

The crazy. It hurts.

Yay for watching Rome!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

YES. She is "MARRIED" to the Berlin Wall. And has been since 1979. WOW.

(She had a previous love affair with a FENCE.) Oh god, the CRAZY!!

[southernbangel.livejournal.com]

The Berlin Wall lady is awesome. Several months back there was a link in the comments of one of the fandom_wank reports and man oh man, I had a fantastic afternoon reading about it and being all O_o, O_o!!!

People are crazy, yo.

Also, I love Matt Saracen more than any other character on television. He's right after Buffy and Angel, man. RIGHT AFTER. I just. . . NO WORDS FOR THE LOVE.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I AM THE SAME WITH THE MATT LOVE. He is SO WONDERFUL. And I love how in the beginning, Julie thought he was just some dorky meathead.

When they were sitting on the stoop and he was REFUSING to get angry about the shit sandwich his life is, her FACE!! Oh, man. She is so in love with him. Me, too. :D

I love the coach's line: "Nothing is going to squash Matt Saracen. Matt Saracen is like a stink bug - you can't squash him." Ahahahaha.

[trepkos.livejournal.com]

Yay!
More mixes!
Thank you!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

You are welcome!! (I'm currently rocking to Wesley, Disc 2 and getting my Metallica fix for the day. Woot! lml ^_^ lml)

[beadattitude.livejournal.com]

But if you're laying on your back, the soup will dribble down the corners of your mouth and pool on your neck. And that's never an attractive look for anyone.

::germ free hug:: Hang in there, pookie. Off to read your crack, now.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hahaha. I need one of those doggie saucers to go around my pursed lips. :D

D'awww. You called me pookie. *beams*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oooh, links! THANKS! Lemme know if the links run out, 'kay?

[julia-here.livejournal.com]

Well, the current minimum wage in Washington is pushing $8 an hour, and it hasn't seemed to have killed small businesses here yet. It was raised and put on a permanent COLA in the middle of dotBust, and strangely enough, the economy has been growing since.

Which, of course, is exactly the opposite of what conservative economists said would happen, and that makes me very happy.

Julia, every time a conservatives prediction goes wrong, an angel gets its wings?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear about the minimum wage up north! Keep in mind we have a lot of... unregistered citizens here, so we have a different kettle of fish in the border states.

What needs to happen is reform the tax shelters created that keep 40% of the NGP in the pockets of the rich and out of the hands of small business (which my dad and husband both own) and support for the middle class. Among a few other things, like lowering the cost of energy, etc.

And hahahaha to your last signature! AWESOME.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

Someone married the Berlin wall? I'd say I have no words, but we both know that's a damned lie.

Came home late yesterday (I had my hair trimmed, colored and highlighted. My hair looks fab at the moment. The rest, not so much.) so all I did was take a fast look at your music mxies. I'm salivating here. That's right, drooling.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

YEAH. Married. Uh.... (I linked to her website. She's... interesting.)

Oooh, new hair do! V v exciting. I'm sue for a haircut - I'm looking like a wildebeast. Music!! *shoves at you* Lemme know if the links run out, you like anything, etc. :D

[elisi]

SQUEEEEEE! Spangelly music! Wesley music! *does the happy dance*

And 'Winds of Change' is an *awesome* song! ::nods:: And of course there had to be joke songs in a S/A mix - I mean, withour the snark, what's the point?

Out of interest, do you have Aimee Mann's 'Lost in Space'? If not there are a couple of songs I'm going to send you. :)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Heee! I *do* have Aimee Mann! I love her, which is funny as I don't tend to like nasal singers. (I love her. Have since 'Til Tuesday!)

yay for music! (That's very sweet of you to offer. Thank you!)

[ros-fod.livejournal.com]

Ahahahahaha, ATIA.

I know it will come as a total shock to you to find out that I <3 Octavian so much I can't stand it.

*points to journal name*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

oh, Ros. I was so disappointed while watching last night's ep where he "penetrates" for the first time and I didn't get to SEE it!!!

And NOW I finally get your user name. I'm so slow.

where's the fic where Connor gets sent back in time to THAT family and fucks his brother?

[demonqueen666.livejournal.com]

My husband's job was to divide East and West Berlin. He is retired now.


...WHAT.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!!!

I'm personally going to leave my husband and marry a rake. Or maybe a tin can I saw on the side of the road, and be a wandering lover like I've always imagined...

*huffs Scotchguard*

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

No, no, I totally owe you comments -- many apologies for not getting copy back to you on the boarding school AU sooner!

Also, the dog snorgling the cats = <3!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

BUt!! I have at least HEARD from you, and know you've been busy, so no worries, honest and for true.

Sally and Hope touch noses several times a day. It's frickin' ADORABLE, Mr. Bigglesworth.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, COOL!! No wonder you didn't answer when I called yesterday! (I figured you were slammed, or something) NICE!!

I haven't met Cleopatra yet! I've only seen up to the conquering of Palyumus, or whatever his name is. Ceasar has conquered Greece. I suck at remembering non-historical names.

PULLO/VORENUS. Yes. I could TOTALLY see that, ungh. Marc Antony makes my naughty no nos tingle. (And Octavius, but I don't want to hear it.)

GO READ MY SQUIDBILLIES FIC.

[floweringjudas.livejournal.com]

Good god, that Wesley playlist. *ZOOMS to ysi* Also heeee, I got RECCED. I am amazing.

*does your laundry for you*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Dewd, your drabble was made of spiders and sly, wicked grins.

ZOMG, pls to be doing the laundry! *collapses against you*

[chantal87.livejournal.com]

I'm totally snagging Spangle and Wes.
::clutches you to my chest*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!

I love your icon so much I could CRY. Or eat lunch. Hmmmmm.

<3

Hi there! You're sick? The kiddoes went off to school and left you with a little gift, didn't they? I bet they're all healthy and hearty and running around madly when they get home in the afternoon and you're lying there all miserable...

So, if you're lying there on the kitchen floor feeling ooky, you can entertain yourself by deciding which is crazier, Mrs. Berlin Wall (who must have been fairly devastated when her husband was cheerfully broken apart by lots of volunteers with hammers, chisels, etc. starting in 1990 -- come to think of it I have several pieces of him brought back by my mother) OR the fellow with the horse for a wife. Which one ranks higher on the Crazy Meter?

I'm going to download some stuff!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Yay for dls! And yeah - the kids left me a pleasant gift, THANKS. I feel better today, so that's good. I've been MISERABLE all week. Feh.

And you know, if you follow the link up there, you'll see Mrs. Berlin Wall's commentary on the "ripping apart of her husband" on international TV. WOW.

AT LEAST A HORSE IS ACTUALLY ALIVE. Man, I don't know who wins the crazy battle on this one. I may have to declare a draw, as the squick factor is balanced by the "believes a wall is ALIVE WITH FEELINGS" factor.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

I'm right there with you on mimimum wage, Matt Saracen and "Rome" - my husband had to walk in from work right when the gilded turtle scene was on...Hee! That ribbon had him convulsing. He couldn't have caught me guiltily watching "Top Chef?"

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

OMG I MISSED TOP CHEF LAST NIGHT NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

(Don't tell me who - I'll dl it later!)

I can't WAIT to catch up on Rome. That show is WONDERFUL! (My husband likes it - but then, he hasn't seen the Large Penis ep. Hahaha.)

[angstpuppy.livejournal.com]

Musnnnnttt cliiiiiiiiiickkkkk the walllllllllll laddddy...
Oh...damn.
Oooh, the playlists look yummmy. And again I say damn, for I am on dial-up, and my connection can be downright poopy.
Is there any way I could bribe, coerce, pout at you, get you to copy these disks and send them to me? Nothing fancy, just the music, for I am a music whore liek woah.
Look Puppy! (http://angstpuppy.livejournal.com/49495.html)
We will be wed in June, when he comes of age....
What?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Well, it's a lot of discs, hence me putting everything up online. I've literally spent hundreds of dollars sending discs to people. I will say that each file is about 40MB, so... not too big.

Sorry. I just can't anymore. I'm sure you can understand. :)

[lettered.livejournal.com]

I just started watching Rome *today*. Am cautiously excited.

I read your squidfic and was much amused. But had no more to say as I have no idea what Adult Swim is much less anything else that was going on. Well, except Hermione.

Oh, how I love your playlists. Especially Connor's. I know I say that all the time but if you had any idea how hard I love that cd you'd . . . you'd . . . I don't know, but you'd . . . have an idea!

Hope you're feelin' better. What's with everyone getting all ill? *mindbeams you soup*

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I've been emailing Ros of the "aslksjdfkh" variety over Rome. JOY. STICK WITH IT. Hogod. I'll just say one thing: OCTAVIUS. Trust me. Also, Vorenus and Pullo (am I spelling that right?) are SO SLASHY it's ridiculous. If ridiculous means "Stoney aches with the want because it's RIGHT THERE!"

I'm feeling LOADS better today - there was just a determined bug in my neck of the woods, I guess. SHEESH. But that meant lots of sleeping and reading books and watching Rome! YAY!!

*hugs you* and no worries about the fic. I didn't expect hardly ANYONE to read or get it. THat was a brain explosion. *g*

[hellziggy.livejournal.com]

Yay! The CD mixes I didn't have yet!
ThankYou!ThankYou!ThankYou!ThankYou!ThankYou!
*grin*

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

Ooooh a Spander one. Thank you so much. *checks it out*
