cylune9 was thinking about doing a video to the beautiful, haunting "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" by Radiohead.  I suggested she make it about River from Firefly, and yay! She took my suggestion and made an absolutely gorgeous video of one my favorite characters from one of my favorite shows to one of my favorite songs.  Thank you, lune! :)



I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

My name is jelly, and I'm a meme addict.  Snagged from ageless_aislynn.

1. List your top five favorite musical artists.
2. List your top five favorite songs from each artist.
3. Tag five people to do the same.

Five is tough.  Do I do my five current favorites?  Or five all time favorites? Or a little of each?  Or both, and do ten?


Like I'm going to tag anybody.  But I bet cylune9 will do it, won't you, lune? ;)

Very small icon post.  But since these are the first icons I've done in about six months, I thought I'd better go ahead and post them in case it's another six months before I do any more. :P

[16] New Amsterdam





 
 

New Amsterdam was on at its regular time last night -- Mondays, 9:00pm. It was nice to get to see three episodes in one week; too bad it's almost halfway through its run now.



This episode was a lot of fun. I plan to enjoy the next four episodes thoroughly and then be sad for a while since I'm sure there will never be any others. I just hope Fox actually airs all seven.

I watched the premiere of New Amsterdam last night.  Anybody else see it?

Apparently TPTB sat down and said "How could we make a cop show with a premise that would appeal deeply to jellyfrog? What would that look like?"


The second episode will be on this Thursday at 9:00pm, and then next week it will move to its regular timeslot which I think (but I'm not entirely sure) will be Mondays at 9. 

I'm going to keep watching and hope it has the chance (and the writing) to live up to its potential. :)

And if you couldn't make it through my lengthy ramblings, here is an article that is much shorter and sums it up pretty well. :D  "Highlander meets CSI".  There you go. ;)

 

Favorite movie meme! :) Stolen from

cylune9.  

 
I tried to have a little variety in the list, not just musicals... I made a noble effort not to fill it up with Fred Astaire movies -- in fact, after a long and painful process I whittled it down to only one.  But then when I was done I realized that there are still three Judy Garland movies on the list, and two Bing Crosby.  Ah well.

So that's a hint.  For all the good it'll do ya. ;)

 

Pick 15 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie. Or just recall one from memory!
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.


 
   

Sorry for the repost -- I had too many songs from the same two bands and decided to adjust it a little, and ended up totally screwing up my first post.  If you already guessed some you still get credit, but take another look because there's more variety now. :)

Another one stolen from super_kc   . Apparently I am no more able to resist these music shuffle memes as I am TV memes. I find it entertaining to see what weird things pop up in the iTunes party shuffle. :P

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing.
Step 3: Strike through the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing -- looking the lyrics up on a search engine is CHEATING!
Step 5: If you like the game post your own.

... but not for me. 

NaNoWriMo has officially come to an end. :(  I really wanted to hit 60,000 words before the word counter froze, so I made a big push (well, kinda big) and got to 60K just before midnight.  Unfortunately this resulted in sentences like "She headed back to the grocery store yet again to frantically grab another 400 words".   Ah well. It's fixable.

So without the word counter on the website I'm going to do what I did last year and post my word count at the top of my journal so I see it all the time.  I'm loving this story and I'm determined to finish it, no matter how long it turns out to be.


   

I haven't finished the first draft of my novel yet (130,000 words and counting :P), but I'm already thinking about the rewrite and getting kind of excited about it.

There is a major subplot that is completely missing from this draft because I hadn't done enough research to know the first thing about how to write it, and frankly, I waffled on what it was going to be about right up until... Well, maybe still waffling... Yes. But I have some thoughts about it...


What else? If anybody's actually read this far, I'd love any suggestions you've got for entertainment-related exhibits, especially interactive ones. Total fantasy entertainment museum here. What would be fun?

Battlestar Galactica is my favorite show, but Doctor Who has the best icons of any fandom ever.

JMO.
