A few other things

corilannam1) Tomorrow I will be seeing ADAM LAMBERT live in concert. And the day after tomorrow, too!
2) I had to rewrite the last several scenes of my reel_merlin story to be more compliant with the movie. I am so ready to be done with this thing and move on to big bang. I also spent several hours researching for one throwaway line that I then... threw away (or at least deleted). I swear, I have done way too much research for a story based on a cheesy fantasy show and a cheesy apocalypse movie. If anyone ever asks for a DVD commentary for this story, the commentary will probably be longer than the story (which is already too long).
3) As a demonstration of why I am no longer allowed to buy hardcover books, I just finished Shatterpoint, the Star Wars novel about Mace Windu that came out in the year *mumblety*. I actually forgot I hadn't read it until I went to get rid of it and couldn't remember what happened. I almost wish I had read it way back then, when I would have enjoyed the admittedly excellent ass kicking without as much consciousness of the heavy race and gender fail in the thing. If you ever actually wanted a rewrite of Heart of Darkness as a Star Wars novel, I can point you to one.
4) I had the loveliest dream last night! I almost never dream about my fannish interests, but last night I dreamed that Arthur was a young Prince of Wales and was openly dating Merlin while they were at Eton together. Then Merlin decided he wanted to go to Harvard, and Arthur held a press conference announcing that he was going, too. Everyone was like, but Arthur, aren't you just going because your boyfriend wants to go? He just smirked and said, so what? It's Harvard, it's not like I'm slumming it.
I want someone to actually write that.
This was considerably better than the nightmare I had the other night related to points 2 and 3 above, in which I was preparing for the end of the world by helping build little concealment covers for Jedi lightsabers, because using the Force was going to be illegal after the apocalypse (Emperor Uther?)
5) And an update on my tech troubles: my work computer works now (obviously), my netbook still has a dead keyboard after trying every possible solution Google could find (except replacing the keyboard--I ordered a new one on ebay--if that doesn't work, heck if I know what to do), and my kitchen sink seems to be draining properly once more (thanks,taffimai!)

Date: 2010-06-06 05:26 am (UTC)But I'm not posting until June 23 and I'm almost done, so it should still be okay. My movie is 2012, btw.
Which one are you doing? Do you have a lot to go on it?
