A Little Warmer

I'm trying to write up a very belated review of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow for entertain_crack but I can't seem to focus. I blame it all on the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack that I have blasting at me from my computer's little baby speakers. I haven't listened to this album in years and it's no wonder I loved it so much in high school, it's so freaking melodramatic that it's practically like an opera itself. I could do without the love story but the parts with the opera stars and managers sniping at each other are just priceless. I would never want to play Christine, but I would love to play Carlotta or Andre or Fermin (the opera company's managers). Those parts are just divine, I would just love to flounce around the stage diva-ing it up as Carlotta or provide the much needed snarky commentary that the managers have. I'm a character actor at heart.

And poor Christine, she has to pick between the 'psycho stalker freak who psychologically manipulates her' Phantom and 'wastrel pretty boy who didn't even believe her at first' Raoul. Right then is when I would have given up on the opera and gotten a job as a florist, or something.

Excuse me, I think I'll go work on some crack!fic now. work, what work?

All of My Symphonies

Well, it appears that I didn't work on crack!fic after all. Instead I went and wrote up the last part of the first chapter of my ongoing hobbit-fic. Pippin just wouldn't let me string him on for one more single moment. Sorry that it took me so long to get this out Pip, I promise that I love you just as much as the other hobbits. Really, I do!
