She's adorable, and y'all know it. Mostly for the Tin Man fans, but also for anyone who's into Disney stuff:
So, this is currently my newest favorite song (and favorite band):
~*~LOVES~*~
(And yes, naturally my brain is all aflutter with Tin Man vidding ideas - especially for their song "Little Lion Man," which just screams Raw/Glitch.)

To continue the previous mention of how very lovely and gay OZ is - this is how "The Marvelous Land of OZ" ends (well, on the last page):
"I shall return with my friend the Tin Woodman," said the stuffed one, seriously. "We have decided never to be parted in the future."
\o/ CANON.
"I shall return with my friend the Tin Woodman," said the stuffed one, seriously. "We have decided never to be parted in the future."

No, really. So, I'm in the process of reading all of the original L. Frank Baum OZ books (there are 15 'canon' books in his series). I'm on the second book, "The Marvelous Land of OZ," and while I knew going in that it was a giant Tin Woodman/Scarecrow love fest...WOW. No, really. This is possibly one of the gayest books ever written. There have been so many references to how much they love each other, their 'loving embrace' at meeting again...and Scarecrow keeps calling him "my dear Nick," which makes me giggle so much.
Today's favorite bit:
"My poor, poor friend!" said the Tin Woodman, taking up the Scarecrow's head and caressing it tenderly.
*howls with the homoerotic text of it all*

So, our TV died this morning. Like, it was working last night and this morning, it wouldn't stay on for more than 2 seconds (literally) and the screen never even came on. We tried everything - unplugging, holding buttons down...but since the thing wouldn't stay on long enough to do anything and nothing came on the screen, there was no way for us to experiment with resetting anything. NO idea - the thing died. All several hundred pounds of it (UGH). The monstrous beast is now sitting on our floor, taking up ten square feet of space and with any luck we will get someone strong to get it out of our living room - the two of us can't even lift it TOGETHER. (It's just a 32" screen but it's the old fat kind, about 4 years old.)
ANYWAY. In comes our new SHINY. After work we headed to the nearest place that Anndie found what we were looking for with the best price (as we are cheap) and lo, we have a new Visio 32" flat panel TV. Is gonna take a bit of adjusting our eyes to the new screen, but OMG it is THIN and weighs 20 pounds. SO much easier to move and it's awesome.
\o/ Now to pull out the Tin Man dvds and do the annual re-watch (as I just watched Wizard of OZ over the weekend). Whoot!

I stumbled upon this author via another fandom and was ~delighted~ to discover some previously unknown (to me) Cain/Glitch and Cain/Ambrose stories!! They are lovely finds and I'm so happy to share them!!
The author's FF.N name is JacksBoonie and here are the stories:
Waltz With Me Courageously
Apples to Apples
The Many Weather Patterns of Glitch and Ambrose
I hope these are also new to my other TM peeps! :D

So, we had an insanely busy weekend. The short version here, more detail below the cut with PICTURES!!!!!!
SATURDAY: College football, Oregon vs. USC down here in SoCal. As Anndie and I are Oregon alumni, we HAD to go to this one. Anndie went to the ESPN Gameday broadcast in the morning and we went to the game later together (I had no interest in Gameday, plus getting up at OMGDARKTHIRTY.) Football game was epic win (Oregon wins 53-32 or some such ridiculous thing).
SUNDAY: Hair (story below), Long Beach Comic-Con (OMG see below) and Disneyland Trick-or-Treat party (SO MUCH MORE BELOW.)
( Pictures, stories, GLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!!! )

As a loyal and loving fan of Alan Cumming, I naturally feel the need to watch anything and everything he's in (at least currently - some of the old indie movies freak me out). So, this leads me to occasionally taking a peek at "The Good Wife," which he is currently in.
( Alan makes this show... )

Just for my awesome Tin Man friends, I made and posted a bunch of new jewelry items on my Etsy store. Lots of steampunk, vintage and antique-style stuff. Go take a look and help a girl out! :D
MY ETSY STORE!
MY ETSY STORE!
Okay, peoples! We finally got our Etsy store up and running (after starting the account a couple years ago). The first bunch of items are now posted and ready for sale. Most items will be added soon - the site charges per item posted so I didn't want to go crazy right away. Though I'm not one to beg, I would like to add that I'm currently pretty much unemployed and that's what brought on the urgency in getting my jewelry stuff up and running. :)
Go! Look at the pretty! Spread the word! \o/

(Don't look at me like that, Tin Man fandom. DM was one of my fandoms ~way~ long ago and occasionally, these things happen. Just a little indiscretion. You know how it is. And I'm fully aware that no one here will read this - I posted it to my DM mailing list group yesterday and felt the need to post it somewhere more permanent.)

So, I heard this today via Joe Flanigan's twitter:
"JoeFlanigan: Neal McDonough fired from ABC series 4 refusing to do sex scenes. He's a great actor and an acquaintance. Good 4 him 2 stick with principles"
Here's one of the many news stories that came out with the announcement, though there are plenty more to check out if you do a search: http://www.deadline.com/2010/03/no-sex-please-im-neal-mcdonough/
I'm also pleased to see Joe, and no doubt many more fellow actors, showing support for Neal's decision.

Realized I haven't posted anything in a while. Been busy - end of school year, concert season like crazy, working on having a job for next year, excited to have my anthropology class to teach again this summer.
But instead of sharing anything of real life interest, I feel the need to share this because it made me LOL. I'm watching an episode of "Anthony Bourdain No Reservations," the "Sweden" episode. He is having a discussion about skiing with a couple of 20-something guys, pro-skiers, in a restaurant. After saying his style is more the "American Faceplant," they follow up with this:
Tony: "What's the worst that can happen?"
Skier: "Yard sale."
Tony: "Yard sale?"
Skier: "Yeah - stuff everywhere! [demonstrates with arms flung out dramatically] Hats, gloves, skiis, boots, all over the place."
*still giggling*

Well, I (Surreal, not Anndie - as Anndie is a WIMP) survived working another Weekend of Horrors convention. Not much to say other than it was as awesome as the others and the picture below the cut says it all.
