Fluff makes the world go 'round

I'm making this lj friends-only. I like to make new friends though, so if you're neither a spam robot nor a republican, please comment to get added.

Summary: Brittany gives Santana this *look* when they're singing 'Say A Little Prayer', like she's singing the song to her. This is what happens after the audition.
A/N: fluff alert!

( When Q auditions for Glee club the day after assembly, there's no question that her second in command, Santana Lopez, is going to have to be there with her if she knows what's good for her )

RL has been crazy as usual, hence the lack of activity on LJ, and worse, the irregular checking of the flist. This makes me very sad as it always brings a smile to my lips as well as sunshine to my heart when I do find the time to check-in.

I've been uncharacteristically preoccupied recently with fics dealing with NYC and fashion, which I blame entirely on Devil Wears Prada fic and watching Gossip Girl.

All of the fic at dvlwears_prada is amazingly good. I haven't been as diligent as I wanted to be about leaving feedback for the writers. I find that unless I can leave a comment right after reading a fic, I end up not coming back to it. This doesn't work when I have to catch moments here and there to read, often from my smartphone, which leaves me with no time to post a comment. *Must figure out how to fix this as dwp writers deserve feedback*

There's now a full folder of Prada fic on my smartphone, some of my favorites:

Any story by somniesperus is totally worth reading, some of the best femslash fic I've read. She can do everything right: plot, smut, humor, angst. 'She likes a prizefight' is a great place to start. I also have a real fondness for 'Business before pleasure'. It's bittersweet but wonderful to see how playful Andy is with Miranda even if she is clueless about why.

'Stranded' by redscribe is a little gem. It's got plot, local color, pr0n and humor. There are more stories in this series.

I'm also a big fan of kosmos8. My fave may be 'Something in Common' where the twins try to figure out where Andy and Miranda stand on the big questions of the time. It's clever and fun to see how the twins react to their mother's relationship with Andy.

ETA: How could I forget? 'Uninvited' by hayseed_42 where Andy's parents meet Miranda despite Andy's best efforts. Breezy, wonderfully in character, hilarious fluff.


Also: Gossip Girl is the crack. See below the cut.

( It's enough when I say it's enough )


That's all :).

Ever since my vacation when I kept hearing Mika everywhere, I've been just slightly obsessed with listening to his CD on the iPod. I was wasting some time on Youtube just now and pretty much fell off my chair when I saw how ridiculously good looking he is in addition to everything else:




Here's a really awesome interview with Mika playing bits and pieces of various songs on the piano, explaining why Grace Kelly's intro sounds a little like 'The Marriage of Figaro'. There's even a few verses from 'Killer Queen', a Queen classic:

Created with lj autopost

I'm murasaki1200 at InsaneJournal and Greatest Journal, if you're reading this, feel free to friend me :).
I have zero time to follow the details of the latest lj debacle or to move anywhere for now, but I'm hoping to keep track of the flist if/when folks decide to migrate en masse.
I have to do some research to find out the best way to aggregate an flist from various services including non LJ derived blogs. I wouldn't mind adding some external blogs to my reading list if that was easy to do.
RSS is an option but I'm under the impression that it makes commenting harder.

My friends and I have been bemoaning how unlikely it is that Hilary will win in 2008. But it's all behind now. She can do it people!



"I have a crush on a girl named Hill,
but she's not with me she's with this guy named Bill..."

"I like your hair, the pantsuits you wear
And the shape of your derriere..."

"Let's seal the deal with a hug and a kiss,
And put a hot chick in the oval office..."

"I know you're not gay but I'm hoping for bi...lingual"


So much awesome. Taryn Southern rocks my world: the elementary school gig is cute, the glasses are hot, her fangirling about Hilary pretty much redefines lesbian chic. It's all so clever.

I heart YouTube. It is so going to change the game. Love it!

Jimmy Palmiotti, who co-created the PKJ comic, was in Monte Carlo with Kristanna to push the goods and wrote about it in his blog.

Aside from the pics, the best part was:

a French reporter asking me if I hated the show heroes as much as he did. [...]man, I wish I had that kind of passion. For the record, I don't hate Heroes…or any TV show that pushes the idea and genre of comics. Personally Just wish the creator would give more props to the origins of the material is all…but it's a fun show…and yes, Painkiller Jane could kick that little cheerleaders ass any day of the week. Would love to see that by the way…I think kristanna would pick her up by her arms and legs and just rip her in half. Wonder if she could heal from that? lol.

Whew! Good thing there's no passion there ;). Take it easy dude. And don't even think about hurting Claire!

We're actually going to see him in action since Jimmy Palmiotti wrote one of the upcoming episodes to be aired on July 13th. Can't wait to see how he wrote Jane and Mo. And the acid test is going to be...the voiceovers.

Dun, dun, dun...the tension's rising peoples! Our heroines are in increasing jeopardy from fuckinghanging out with the wrong kind of girls. Now there's a price on their heads!

( Spoilers and things )

is here. Still with the funny bitching about Tyler's girlfriend LouAnne who is definitely a hottie.

It clocks in at 1min36s with close to 30s of credits. I don't care too much because my life is going to be a whirlwind between now and next week so time will fly, but this *is* kind of short.

Geek comment of the day: Angela's storing her stuff up on Amazon S3. Such a small world.
