So early in the morning

[cleolinda]

The new Made of Fail podcast is up, and it's something like my fifth appearance on the show--and this time we also have Rinna from Poufwa, the first podcast I ever did! Also, my sexy, sexy phlegm ("Yeah... I'm reporting live from my death bed..."), brought in loud and clear courtesy of my new headset. Topic: half New Moon and half Crazy Fans, with a substantial segment on the Dollhouse cancellation up front (aw, hell, I just heard myself cough in the background).

("I am in bed with another woman right now...")

And now, I'm going back to bed.


ETA: OH BY THE WAY we totally discuss the Twilight porno that Dayna watched for us.

ETA: Who has the "fever of a hundred and werewolf" thermometer icon, and who made it? Because I totally need to start using that.

Man, the next time someone asks me if I've seen Twilight, it shall be awfully tempting to say "no, but I've seen the porno actually." I feel that in many circles this may be far more socially acceptable.

[myfebruarysong.livejournal.com]

Aw, sweetheart....hope you feel better soon.

[meroceres.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, you really sound croaky. Get well soon!

[malsperanza.livejournal.com]

This is the way the world ends: not with a bang but a sparkle.

This makes the ghost of TS Eliot very very happy. It almost makes up for "Cats."

I have it, and I wish I remembered who made it, but I'm afraid that died with my old hard drive.

Author! author!

[skysong6161.livejournal.com]

*wave* Author here. ^_^ Glad you liked it.

[count-01.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'll add it to my notes and not worry about this hard drive crashing.

Oh, and thank you. I have fun with this one.

[fading-october.livejournal.com]

I'm downloading the podcast now. I finally listened to the first one last edition and I laughed until my boyfriend started shooting me those "do I know you?" looks. =D

[angel-yarn.livejournal.com]

Hi. I lurk, usually. But since you're feeling crappy, I was wondering if you've seen these:

After all, the only thing funnier than twilight snark is twilight snark with a British accent.

[1grl-revolution.livejournal.com]

I enjoyed those links. Thank you!

[trash-addict.livejournal.com]

Heh, I really liked them!
(and then proceeded to find all about Alex Day)

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

I see you found the icon. :)

Yay, new podcast. I will so listen as soon as I catch up on the others. I'm getting there.

Are you finally feeling better?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll feel better when New Moon is finished. I'm wrestling with the Alice-Jacob scene at the moment.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

How weird is it that I read that wrong and my brain immediately went to the scene from The Bible of Jacob wrestling with God. Clearly religious conversations over lunch jog my Sunday School memory. Clearly you are talking about Werewolf-Jacob, hee.

...Anyway, I hope you triumph over your Alice-Jacob problems!!

[malsperanza.livejournal.com]

But Werewolf-Jacob wrestling with God would be awesome.

Alice wrestling with God would be theologically interesting, since God would pin him in 5.

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

But Werewolf-Jacob wrestling with God would be awesome.

See, that was kind of where my mind was going, but then I was like, WHOA THAT'D BE TOO WEIRD. Hee.

[akarikiwa.livejournal.com]

Totally thought that icon was a pregnancy test; self-fail...

[blacktigr.livejournal.com]

Have you seen the Team Edward/Team Jacob Burger King promotion?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah... that whole thing makes me sad. And really glad I don't eat there.

YOU JUST REMINDED ME AND THIS IS SO BAD, I HAVE TO SHARE.

[ahirutwin.livejournal.com]

THAT TOTALLY REMINDS ME, OH MY GOODNESS. THIS IS KIND OF A DRAWN OUT THING, BUT YOU'LL SEE WHY. I APOLOGIZE IN ADVANCE.

Okay, so. I very rarely go to Burger King and if I do it's almost always a drive-through experience. On this one particular night, my dad and I were out to get food at the exact time that the driving-home-from-work dinner rush hits, right? So the drive-through line was like wrapped all around the restuarant and we unanimously decided "No way are we going to wait in that." So we swerve around the other cars and park, but as we're doing this I notice some kind of weird shadow on the door of the BK. I couldn't make out what it was, so I figured it was some promo deal they were shoving down the customers' throats. OH NO, MUCH TOO OPTIMISTIC. As I got out of the car and headed for the door, it became clear that the shadow was person-shaped. AND THEN I RECOGNIZED IT.

BURGER KING HAS A HUGE-ASS STICKER DECAL OF EDWARD CULLEN RIGHT ON THEIR FREAKING GLASS DOOR, STARING OUT AT YOU, AND MAKING THE DAZZLE FACE. AND ONE OF JACOB ON THE INNER DOOR MAKING HIS WOLF FACE.

I have never been so skeeved out (but at the same time laughing so hard) in my whole life.

Re: YOU JUST REMINDED ME AND THIS IS SO BAD, I HAVE TO SHARE.

[blacktigr.livejournal.com]

I think what skeeved me out the most was the "Bella has to make a choice, you don't" tagline on Rotten Tomatoes.

Re: YOU JUST REMINDED ME AND THIS IS SO BAD, I HAVE TO SHARE.

[ahirutwin.livejournal.com]

WHAT. IS THIS REAL LIFE? I feel so disillusioned. D:

[rockgeisha.livejournal.com]

Lies! She's all about the chicken fries.

[beansalad.livejournal.com]

Awesome episode. Bravo Cleo, Bravo! Can't wait for the New Moon in 15 Minutes.

[ahirutwin.livejournal.com]

That episode was so great. <3 I keep meaning to listen to the rest (is it completely wrong that I've only listened to, like, two and consider myself a fan?) and now I'm reminded of this fact. Good job all around!

Also, I'm sending good thoughts and wishes your way; The Sick always, always, ALWAYS strikes at the times when it is so not wanted. ]:

[skysong6161.livejournal.com]

The 100&Werewolf icon was made by me. ^_^ Glad you like it.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

I took it as well (with proper credit). It reminds me of an episode of MST3K and it's just an awesome icon in general...

[diddakoi.livejournal.com]

Cleo, I'm thinking about getting my mom a full spectrum lamp and I was wondering if you had any recommendations...

[rina2o6.livejournal.com]

I hope you feel better!

This might be a little interesting - it's an interview with the costume designer on New Moon. I thought you might like the part about why they dressed Alice the way they did, even though it will make for a boring doll.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, yeah, I saw that a bit earlier. Since we actually had the discussion on the show about where the wolf guys got all their pants from, I laughed when I read the bit about a stash in the woods.

[fading-october.livejournal.com]

on my very few adventures to the outside world, I was in Wal-Greens and saw this book cover. I started laughing hysterically and started to think of you.

[vinka-chan.livejournal.com]

Your. Icon. LOVE. And also hysterical lulz. FURSPLODE!

the almost-drowning scene

[nodiskette.livejournal.com]

My friend and I totally noticed that Bella didn't cough up any water after Jacob revives her. I don't think that's nitpicking. It would be like a murder scene where someone got stabbed to death but there was no blood.

Re: the almost-drowning scene

[andromedabastow.livejournal.com]

I noticed that too. She should had coughed up water...Chris failed there.

I found a couple of antitwilight sites and I'm starting to wonder if this period would be known as The Twilight Wars by our grandchildren?

Hope you feel better soon Cleo.

[lemone.livejournal.com]

Th-there's a Twilight porno?

[queenanthai.livejournal.com]

Several.

"oh just shut UP!" sez Rob

15 seconds in... ;)

Re: "oh just shut UP!" sez Rob

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Dayna found it. Listen to the very last five seconds of the podcast, after the Journey song. : )

Re: "oh just shut UP!" sez Rob

[ohsnapcat.livejournal.com]

ah.. wasn't able to listen all the way to the end, yet...
oops!
:)

[jaytshade.livejournal.com]

You sounded great on the show, Miss Cleo! I hope you're feeling better!

Favorite quote? "I've always been big! It's the internets that got small!"

[horsybirdy.livejournal.com]

I just saw New Moon, and i have to say that i think they read all your stuff about Twilight before doing it. I mean the scene of Bella's birthday when Emmett says to Edward "Dating an older woman eh? HOT" i was laughing my ass off in the theater, it felt so much like you!

[horsybirdy.livejournal.com]

(God i forgot something important) PLUS the fact that Edward is looking at him like "eh? wtf? i don't understand what you're talking about because i'm pure and innocent"

[elbales]

Hey, Cleo--have you seen the awesome-yet-horrifying "what do you see in him again?" from kar3ning? It does a solid job of actually laying out the reasons why Edward and Bella's relationship is all kinds of fucked up.

[iamsmr.livejournal.com]

First off- feel better! *Healthy vibes*
I hope podcast-discussion is OK for this entry...
I love-love-loved your first Poufwa Exchange episode, so this little reunion was awesome to listen to. I'm another person who found the celeb/fandom discussion really interesting. Specifically on "internet celebrities": I think there are a lot of people out there who are pretty much exclusively "consumers" when it comes to internet entertainment (intertainment?) - like, it would never occur to them to start their own blog, or webcomic, or youtube channel. Some people are just lazy and like free entertainment, but others - they're so busy wowing over everybody's cool things that it never occurs to them that they could be making their own cool thing, and so they see the people that do make cool things as amazing and supercooltalented and a step above the normal internet folk. I'm definitely not saying that blogging or youtubing is easy, or that everyone who's a fan of a blog/podcast/channel is pathetic and does nothing creative themselves. But there is a certain mindset that puts it all up on a pedestal when really, the whole point is that it's supposed to be accessible to everyone.

P.S. Rereading, I feel like this could be understood as "people that make stuff on the internet don't really deserve fans, come on." This is more about the specific type of fan than about the phenomenon of internet fame in itself, which in some cases (ahem! :-P) is definitely well-deserved.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

No, I know what you mean--people forget that internet "celebrities" were just sitting there the same way they were, in front of a computer, doing something they enjoyed. They're creating a mystique about people that isn't really warranted.

[iamsmr.livejournal.com]

Exactly. Oh, omigod, your icon reminds me! People asked you how you got your skin to be purple?!?! That...God bless. That story made me smile hugely like a weirdo on a public bus. (When I was little, I wondered how whoever played Thumbelina in the (animated) movie fit into such a small costume. But...but I was like, really little. Also, I'd hate to have to be the one to break the news to a stranger that cartoons =/= real life.)
