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.

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

[meroceres.livejournal.com]

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

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!

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

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.

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?

[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?

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. ]:

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

[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.

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.

[lemone.livejournal.com]

Th-there's a Twilight porno?

"oh just shut UP!" sez Rob

15 seconds in... ;)

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!

[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.

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.
