Zoom (me arriving) Zoom (me leaving)*

I'm really looking forward to watching Stardust when it comes out. Not just because, having read the book, I know the story's good, or that the actors in it are good (DeNiro, for one, and McKellen as narrator, for another - and OMG Peter O'Toole!), but also because through Neil's blog I've been able to see the film through the whole process of becoming.

In the interest of pimping this film to you all, here's the old webpage for the film, which, in the words of Niel Gaiman, contains: "a few video interviews with me, some answers to Stardust questions, Stardust wallpaper and even a do it yourself Charles Vess colouring thing (which is much too much fun)."

He's not kidding on the digital colouring things.

Today's project: rough and final drafts of emails for profs, requesting yet another batch of letters of rec. *sigh*

Link of the day: Tiggy Malvern's Slash Fiction


ETA: I don't know why, but I seem to be finding inspiration in CD song titles, itching to make a series using them. Angels and Airwave's "We Don't Need to Whisper" gives:

1. Distraction
2. Do it for me now
3. Valkyrie Missile
4. A little’s enough
5. The war
6. The gift
7. It hurts
8. Good day
9. Start the machine

which gives me a Firefly, River-centric theme.

Audioslave's "Revelations" gives:

1. Revelations
2. One and the same
3. Sound of a gun
4. Until we fall
5. Original fire
6. Broken city
7. Shape of things to come
8. Jewel of the summertime
9. Wide awake
10. Nothing left to say but goodbye
11. Moth

which gives me a OUaTiM, Sands-centric** theme.

Then lacesforalady's challenge of using select bits of Billy Idol's White Wedding:

1. Nothin’ fair
2. Nothin’ safe
3. Nothin’ sure
4. Nothin’ pure
5. Look for something

gives me nothing but the urge to write something that fits. (Though possible either without that last one, or with it as an epilogue.) Maybe OUaTiM- or River-musings.
