Back from class; back to work.

From an FT thread: an amazing sidewalk artist.

Link from electricland: The true tale of a brave action figure behind enemy lines. "19 January 2005: The Slinky betrayed us. I should have known. I never trusted him. He was an unstable character, always going back and forth, back and forth, never showing a shred of backbone. 'Come, senor, I know the way to the insurgents' headquarters,' he rasped. The fact that he was an Arab toy speaking with a stereotypical Spanish accent should have tipped me off. But hindsight is always 20/20. Literally. I can turn my head 360 degrees."

More warning signs that your child may be a Goth.

Craig Parker on slash: "At least one of us is having an exciting Friday night."

Costume fans represent! The 2005 Hollywood exhibit is open at FIDM.

Brokeback Mountain trailer caps! Not the smut you're looking for, though. Woe.

Meme du jour:

1) Pick a song that you love that you want me to forever associate with you.
2) Upload it on yousendit.com/your domain (or, if you're unable to do so, you can skip this step).
3) Comment with the link (or tell me which song, and I can try to find it myself).
4) Post this in your journal so you can make a mix that reminds you of the people that you love/like the most in the entire world.

I'm going to add a step here and ask--is there a song you particularly associate me with? I mean, it'd be cool if it were a totally random song. Of course, knowing me and my journal, it's probably going to be one of the many, many songs I've told y'all about having embarrassing fixations on. "You'll always be that awful Samantha Fox song to me, Cleo!"

To be perfectly honest and a total dork, the Phantom theme song. Every time that stupid "DUHHHHH! DUNDUNDUNDUN DUHHHH!" comes on, I think, "Oh. Cleolinda." :-)

Coldplay, "Not Everything's Lost" (http://s26.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1ER7JDQ73OR6E11IEJJ7Q3CECN). That's me. You? "Walking On Sunshine", for some reason. I dunno, it's happy. :D

~ whimper ~ They cruelly tantalize us with a tab that says "Dates and Locations," and then have ONE location! Which is NOT Chicago! They do not love me and must suffer!!!

Actually, they do not love me, do not know me, and will never notice the difference. But the other one sounds more dramatic and all...

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeee. My college roommates decided that my flower should be, like, a Gerber daisy. What is it with me and the cheerful?

Queen's I'm Going Slightly Mad (http://s29.yousendit.com/download.aspx) for me, and for you, that Nick Cage & Kylie Minogue song. Because, first, I got it from you and second, you had something like a million posts about it. ^_^

I'd seen the sidewalk chalk guys stuff before. It so makes me wish I had talent.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was really cruel--I ran to the FT Phantom thread and did the internet equivalent of shouting, "The Pants! The Pants are coming! Oh, wait, nowhere near you." MOO HA HA.

[shoiryu.livejournal.com]

'cause yer cute, babydoll. :3

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I figured I'd get the wild rose song. Anything I made icons for, well, I figure I have it coming. : )

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Given how much I've been going around singing it lately, I probably deserve that. : )

eum how exactly does that yousendit thing work? ;)

[laurelin-kit.livejournal.com]

YouSendIt is totally not working for me right now. But Space's 'Female of the Species' is a totally rocking song. That's me.

I don't really have a song I associate with you. When I think of you, usually I think of laughing so hard that my sides hurt. Because your humor does that to me. So, if that's a song, then, hey, lol. You get the sound of painful laughter.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, in this case, upload a song to their server. For email address, send it to yourself. When it's done, it'll give you a link you can post; I think you get, like, seven downloads before it goes bad (to keep people from basically using the service like their own personal Napster).

cool... thanks ;)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awww!

(Eee, icon! That's an awesome version. : )

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

As I am totally anal, I have to correct that to "Everything's Not Lost."

[http://users.livejournal.com/lorien__/]

eum let me think... http://s17.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=07ACVLQYEQHWY19TF0JX01UMLW (no idea how to make the title thingy... lol... it's easier to run by linkin park... altho it does depend on the mood... when i'm a happy gal it's usually the bonny swans by loreena mckennit)
the song(s) i associate with you... something wicked this way comes from the HP POA soundtrack always makes me want to read m15m for some reason... when i hear Lord of the rings; return of the king - the white tree i tend to think of you... weird i know... but i'm a weird girl ;)

WOW on the sidewalk art. *wants to be able to draw*

Song for me... probably "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge. Or "Your Song". I love that movie way too much. :-) I'm a music addict, though, so there are probably a lot of songs that'd work. *wonders if there's a song called "Indecisive Weirdo"*

As for you... hm. Probably Rufus Wainwright's "Hallelujah". Because every time I hear that song I keep applying different parts of it to Lost characters, and the first writings I saw of yours were the Lost recaps.

Yeah. That's how my thought processes work. LOL

[duncanatrix.livejournal.com]

There was a song I don't remember that you had found a while back I think...that you were obsessing over. I couldn't find it in your past several hundred entries, and now it's bugging me. So I thought I'd bug you too.

[cinnamontwist.livejournal.com]

LMAO I was at that convention Craig mentioned, but I did not realise someone had actually handed him a sample of slash!

I don't know about Craig, but I know of at least one certain other actor at that con, who couldn't get enough of talking about slash. And when I met him on another occasion, he was the one who brought the topic up! It's not just the fans who get a kick out of it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Gee, that narrows it down. ; ) "Where the Wild Roses Grow"? "Way You Walk"? "So Cruel"? "Here With Me"? That Garbage cover of Kylie Minogue?

[zahavah.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA, THE ACTION FIGURE SPOOF!! *rolls around on the floor*

[onstage.livejournal.com]

Lol. Uhm, here's something original. My name's April and the song is April by Ian Moore.

It's free, and it's actually pretty darn good, lol. And whenever I hear Barbie Girl I think of your layout :)

[wiliqueen.livejournal.com]

We can live in hope that the locations will actually become plural at a later date. But in the meantime, pffffft.

Although I feel much better for the picture of the wailing Pants worshippers. Schadenfreude, baby. ;-)

Thanks!
