Since I'm going out tonight, I'll tell you now

[cleolinda]

So Rinna says that the podcast will go up tonight at poufwaexchange.com, a panfandom spinoff of PotterFicWeekly (or on iTunes, where you'll need to look for Episode 7. The title may end up being "It's Like X-Rated NPR"), at 9pm EDT. It's a two-hour conversation in which Rinna, Lady Chi and I discuss Harry Potter, Twilight, the Lexicon case, fandom, religion, sex, feminism, politics, racism, aging, depression, kittens, grammar, education, constructive criticism, community theater, and, my God, SHIPPING PREFERENCES. And also, Alan Rickman. Bonus feature: my Emmett Cullen impression.

(ETA: Audio samples: "I think he did a lot of reading, maybe he scrapbooked it afterwards"; "You are my life now.")

It's just the three of us girls talking, so if you're trying to pick me out (and it's not obvious by the context), listen for the one who says "I" sounds as "ah" (oh my God, "I'm gonna keep my ahhhhhh on this." *facepalm*) and seems to be at a slightly lower (more deadpan? something) pitch. Or the one whose microphone sucks. Either one.

I seem to pause in really weird places (or say "you know") constantly because I'm trying to think out what I'm saying, so... um. Sorry about that.

(Sadly, I think the best thing I said in the whole podcast got cut, probably for time. We were talking about how Ginny is [I think?] the first person that Harry lays eyes on at Platform 9-3/4 in the first book, and I blurted out, "Maybe he imprinted on her.")

(Okay, maybe it wasn't the best thing.)

(I really do have the DVDs for both Firefly and two seasons of Doctor Who, and I really am going to watch them.)

(The Romeo and Juliet story at the end is about the Lovely Emily playing Mercutio, by the way.)

("Please send me lipgloss, my cat didn't actually die.")

Maybe he imprinted on her

HA!! I adore your twisty brain!

Oh god, my laughter was so loud, I woke up my roommate from her nap. So GOOD.

Oh, it TOTALLY is.
Genius.

You definitely need to watch Dr. Who. It's just this side of awesome.
I still have yet to finish Firefly...the first episode was SOOO SLOW.

Ugh.

Get through the first Disc and you will be HOOKED, no lie...

The first Disc is pretty much backstory and character developememnt... but I have never met a person who did like it!

"Maybe he imprinted on her."

Eeeeewww, Harry has serious mommy issues? (Still, very funny.)

[sualocin.livejournal.com]

heh, I love your sense of humor.

Under normal circumstances, my first response to this news would be to tell you to watch the Doctor Who episode about Madame de Pompadour, because for a show that looks like it has a $5/episode budget, it has some amazing costume porn. But as I am currently researching an 1891 book about her that is entirely in French, the last thing I want you to do is watch that episode and then write about it.

I'm very, very excited for the podcast, btdubs.

You haven't seen FIREFLY? I really think you'll like it. It is totally your kind of snark.

Ah Firefly. I didn't know this when I watched it, and I don't know if you know or not, but if you've got the DVD, then the first episode, the pilot, was not the first episode they ran on FOX. FOX didn't like the pilot so they made The Train Job, which is the second episode, but the first they ran, so the Pilot and The Train Job can be VERY repetative. (I'm hoping this makes sense? :p )

I was excessively confused when I first watched them.

[chaosmonkey.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun, especially since I'm caught up with the Exchange now.

(Okay, maybe it wasn't the best thing.)

perhaps not, but it sure cracked me the hell up just now!

[sneaky-minx.livejournal.com]

Eep! Yay! This will definitely give me something to do while trying not to think about Ike.

[saralinda.livejournal.com]

Can't wait to hear the podcast...:D

[gwynevere1.livejournal.com]

(I really do have the DVDs for both Firefly and two seasons of Doctor Who, and I really am going to watch them.)

I hope you post reviews. I'm curious to hear/read/see what you think about them!

[greyduck.livejournal.com]

Is this the 2005 Doctor Who followed by the 2006? Eccleston and then Tennant? Ah, you're in for a treat. "Hello, Rose. Now run for your life!" I was sold at that moment.

(Imprinted. *snerk*)

[thenotoriousso4.livejournal.com]

I have no idea why you linked to the history of those 2 wanks, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them.

Since I had no idea about them I guess I have been extremely sheltered. Thank god for that.

[rinnamarie.livejournal.com]

She mentions both of those things in the podcast. :)

[cosmob.livejournal.com]

Harry imprinting on Ginny? BWAG!

I'm looking forward to listening to the podcast. After Pirates of the Caribbean Rifftrax, that is. It's gonna be a night of funny.

Oh, I've got a thing that might could use some Cleo pimpage in your next linkspam or something: my friend needs some brainstorming help (http://zardi.livejournal.com/72478.html) for her masters thesis in math education. No math required!

I hope you have fun going out tonight. :)

[bluebren.livejournal.com]

Yay, I will be listening!

And please, in advance, do not cry for your accent.

[istoo.livejournal.com]

:)
I thought you also had season 3, but I suppose it never got there.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, I might--I thought I had two off the top of my head, but I might have three. I have a whole pile of books and DVDs I (shamefully) haven't gotten to yet, some stretching back two and three years, and I'm hoping to dive in and vacate after I finish Black Ribbon.

[sturmclan.livejournal.com]

Can I just say that I love your voice? You sound way more "grown up" than I heard you in my head.
Not that you sounded like a PowerPuff Girl in my head or anything....

Okay. I'll just shut up now.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee. Well, my journal is done up in pastels and people already mistake me for 19 or 20. I had a feeling a lot of people would be surprised by what my voice actually sounds like, I don't know.

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

It's really really weird to hear your IRL voice after reading your blog forEVER. I like your accent :) It's cute :) I'm 6 minutes in to the podcast and so far so awesome :D

[mysticowl.livejournal.com]

Aaah, Titanic... I watched it in the movie theatre with my mom. She came out smearing tears and mascara over her eyes and swearing to never see another movie in public again (and she hasn't).

[gwynnywonk.livejournal.com]

Oh your accent is NOT anything to worry about. It's barely noticeable! I can distinguish your voice pretty easily but I can't keep the others apart.

What an awesome thing to listen to whilst I pack!

[goonie-freak.livejournal.com]

Seriously Cleo,

The comment about fucking a popsicle was what made me laugh so hard I coughed and almost passed out... me and my sister had be having that conversation! we were like "DUDE that would HURT and isn't he, like, cold?"
"Yeah, everywhere!"

So that made us both feel validated in our questions!

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Ah, we all say "you know" a lot, I think. I do it.

This will be fun! Will have to listen tomorrow; bed now. *g*
