::waves hands in the air::

Um, Life is a bit shitty right now. Um, in my head, anyway. But! We're not going to twitter on about that just now, promise!

Now, I'm currently working on a little something for [livejournal.com profile] nentari, but while I do, I thought some of you would like to know that I finally posted my Two/Jamie mix! ::points downward at the fake cut::

& in addition, a meme I was tagged for by miss [livejournal.com profile] stellastars!

snip.snip )

& for the last rule, I'm tagging . . . anyone that wore the colour black today. If you wore black, you be tagged! ::cheats::

Re-did my layout & userinfo today! [livejournal.com profile] riverdresses

I might change the layout to one without the header, though - the header was just a bit of pretty that caught my eye unexpectedly. I've also been listening to a few Stargate SG-1 audios from Big Finish & aside from OMG I LOVE THEM, I WANT MORE, I kind of feel like dipping my little toes back into that fandom - or at least into the Jack/Daniel fun of it! Or the Vala-related bits. I do so heart my lovely miss Vala!

I also seem to be obsessing musically, over Mason/Daisy lately. I am pondering a mix for them. ([livejournal.com profile] fanmix was a total let down for any Mason/Daisy fun, even though I did get a great Daisy mix there. But DUDE. WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE MASON MIXES? I mean . . . WHERE THE FUCK ARE THEY?! Not cool, fanmixers, not cool. ::shakes head:: I need a Mason mix to accompany the Daisy one! & then a nice Mason/Daisy mix! Then a Mason/Daisy/George mix, because yay, threesomes!) But I had been pondering a Mason mix first! Um, after I finished my Susan & Iris ones, of course - no, after I finish my Susan one. I haven't even finished reading Iris's EDAs yet, or got series two of her audios.

& while I'm re-fangirling & fangirling all of the above, I'm also in a great big Eight/Fitz mood. No, I don't know why, but I am. I NEED MORE FIC, WHERE IS IT?! ::sighs::

Which reminds me - I need to start Interference soon. ::wibblewibbleface::

(O! Am I the only one who thinks of Three & Delgado!Master when she hears this song? I don't know why, but it just really reminds me of them . . . how, I don't know, but it sure does! But it should make me think more of Fitz, shouldn't it? ::brain goes all scrambly::)
riverdresses: (stock • the ephemera of existence)
Whoa, I seem to be finishing fanmixes at quite a fast pace!

Or, you know, not really, since the last two have been or were in a half-finished state before I posted them; they just needed a bit more work before posting.

Anyway, the point of this?

My Zagreus mix is finally up!! ::bubbles:: I had it up this morning, but I was so tired that I sort of forgot to mention it here.

I might put it up at [livejournal.com profile] rftardis in a bit - but that place is so scarily dominated by all new series mixes!

Well, anyway, mix is up, click the fake cut below & you can have it!



& go me, I finally got my sewing area up & got my machine out of its box. Now I just need to start practising!

(Maybe I'll work on some actual fic in the meantime - the next mix I have to post is a gen one, just for fun, while I work on a non-Who one.)

Also. Have become happily obsessed with the series Black Books. Want mixes. Or I'll make one, dammit. & we don't want that, do we? & icons, omg.
riverdresses: (1969 • I'm told you're a writer)
FUCK ME.

After a full night of uploading, my Marwood mix is finally in his world. I'M JUST AS AMAZED AS YOU ARE.

GO LOOK. PLEASE.

Now? I'm going to bed. Woe be to anyone who thinks I'm leaving it today.

& my 't' key is broken, folks. I'm copy & pasting all my 't's!
riverdresses: (stock ☄ hymn to intellectual beauty)
Father just left & the barbarian, as I quite frankly think of my mother now, is asleep. After ignoring me for a day & a half, she deigned to make me an early supper & have it ready when I came home. How cute. [/sarcasm]

(I really have nothing to say to her now. Nothing. I don't care if she's upset by my ignoring her either. After dishonouring me in such a savage manner, among other things, she can hop in a lake.)

& now! For a break, here are a few lovely links I gathered today & I thought some of you darlings would enjoy them!

my eight/charley mix!

(go, go see! & leave me a shiny comment, perhaps? o, please?)

space tastes like raspberries. true, in fact.

(I ♥ the things Neil Gaiman shares on his blog. & I would love a copy of Who Killed Amanda Palmer. Her album was terrific!

& because the original article was just too fascinating:

rum. raspberries. ice&mint. make up the taste of this galaxy.)

a beautiful photo set inspired by alice in wonderland & perhaps a few other faerytales!

(I want to do something like this, really. But maybe not an Alice-inspired shoot - more like a Classic!Who inspired shoot, or perhaps another faerytale of choice!)

100 ideas

A sample:

6. Glue an envelope into your journal. For one week collect items you find on the street. 7. Expose yourself to a new artist, (go to a gallery, or in a book.) Write about what moves you about it. 8. Find a photo of a person you do not know. Write a brief bio about them. 46. Write in your journal using a different medium (brush & ink, charcoal, old typewriter, crayons, fat markers. 54. Cut out all media for one day. Write about the effects. 55. Make pencil rubbings of six different surfaces. 64. Physically alter a page. (i.e. cut a hole, pour tea on it, burn it, fold it, etc.) 67. Record descriptions or definitions of subjects or words you are interested in, found in encyclopedias or dictionaries.

astronomy picture of the day - april 22nd

(I ♥ APOD. I like to save the pictures to my hard drive to keep them to look at later & for graphics & things. In this case, it would be for an Eight/Charley or Jamie/Victoria fic prompt! It's too beautiful & alien for me not to use.)

albums for every moment by penelope bat!

(I'm a firm, firm believer in having a soundtrack for one's life. Or more appropriately for this LJ, I'm a very firm believer in having a lot of track fives in one's life! I love her suggestions; I've only heard of a few of them! The way she described the first one reminded me of the Eighth Doctor, actually. Teehee!)

miniature teacups & teacakes to adorn your lovely necks with!

(I've already fallen in love with the pink teacup & tea kettle necklace. I dream of having fullsize teacups like that to have my tea in, but I'd settle for wearing one around my neck! Wouldn't you? & o, how I want this locket!!)

astronomy picture of the day - april 23rd

(I have it open in its full size in another tab. This one will also be a fic prompt, I do believe! It's just spectacular. O, I wish I could travel in space & see these beautiful things for myself, I really do. If I were a companion of the Doctor's, I'd probably do nothing but sit in front of the open TARDIS door & stare at the stars & constellations & planets of every galaxy we visited or passed through.)

penelope bat's weekly wishes!

I want to know what you're wishing for, teacakes.

Me?

I'm wishing for . . .

. . . my beautiful view in my father's flat in my beautiful blue room, warm spring weather perfect for going swinging in everyday, cherryblossoms floating in a gentle breeze & landing in my windblown hair, new & beautiful underthings, fruit ices, lovers in many different cities, Hello Kitty picnics in the rose gardens here in Golden Gate Park, no more capital letters for a bit, strawberry patterned dresses, running barefoot in the woods & climbing trees, Byron & Shelley to be my lovers both, more tea, & lastly, for all of you darlings to know how properly delightful you are, & to believe in more than just the ordinariness that surrounds you.


& now, an interest meme from [livejournal.com profile] vega_ofthe_lyre! (o, I do so love these kinds of memes!)

Comment on this post. I will choose seven interests from your profile and you will explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so others can play along.


[livejournal.com profile] nentari's encouraged me to write a spot of Eight & Victoria gen & a bit of Jamie/Victoria. O, you know, I'm actually quite excited about the idea of writing those two things. Also, it might be nice to write something that isn't smutty & cheeky for a change. Always good to flex one's skills beyond what one is comfortable doing. Of course, the Jamie/Victoria won't come for some time, but the Eight & Victoria could come sooner. I just need to see more things with her in them!

I'm also looking about for a new layout. I want a nice spring change.

Edit: SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TELL ME TO TO CHECK [livejournal.com profile] two_love MORE OFTEN BECAUSE HOW COULD I MISS OUT ON THIS POST.

& because . . . because, I'll just transcribe it here. You know, to save you the trouble of having to wait for a page load. ::whistles::

So, the question was from one of DWM In Their Own Words specials, the '87-96' one to be precise:

How did Sylvester McCoy measure up to Patrick Troughton?

"They were two very different kinds of actor. Sylvester came from a comic tradition, I suppose... He was a very funny man, whereas Pat was a sexy one. He was a sexy Doctor. Sylvester wasn't sexy. Some people say that you've got to be sexy on TV. Sylvester had other fine qualities, but he wasn't sexy. He wasn't Pat Troughton."

-Clive Merrison (Paradise Towers, Tomb of the Cybermen)


. . . . . I AM NOT ALONE. My smile, it is huge right now.

(though I must admit, I do find Sylvester McCoy quite sexy as well - both as the Doctor & now. & his voice . . . o, don't get me started, we'll be here until morning. But you're damn right I find Patrick Troughton sexy! I did from the moment I first saw The Mind Robber & I've not changed my mind once! & I'm quite pleased to see that I'm not the only creature who does so. ::twirls::)

So . . . would it be proper to contemplate the thought that I'm not alone here either? ::big innocent eyes::

First off! I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO PIMP THIS. I SUCK, CLEARLY.

So, a few days ago, the awesome [livejournal.com profile] notusachan did one hell of an awesome Paul McGann picspam at her LJ & said I could pimp it happily. GO. REVEL IN THE UNABASHED SEXINESS. GO, GO!

Second! I FINISHED A MIX. THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING, CLEARLY.

Teehee. Um, anyway, this is the Eight/Charley mix I've been parroting on about for ages now, fully finished & ready for public viewing. One thing I learned from this mix? That The Chimes of Midnight & The Last are each a bastard to find a good song for. That's why this mix took so long to finish - I couldn't find any for either!

ANYWAY. MIX. Clicking that there fake cut will take you to it & I hope one or two of you enjoy it! Eight/Charley ♥ ♥ ♥
