This was written for the hp_darkfest. I tried for a classic horror story. Hope you enjoy.

Read.

Actually, read the original. Because, yes.

I'm still overflowing with fandom love for the Eskimo Kiss Project. And in the few days since I last squeeed about it -- I'm sure you missed that, didn't you? -- we posted two landmark videos. I've embedded them here because you've got to see the pretty.

OK, I admit it, I've been wanting one of these. Feel free to be creative! *HUGS ALL*

love, lore

OMG you guys are the best in the world!! Seriously.

between the auctions and donations, I'm only $60 away from paying rent!!!

So, here's what I'm offering:

Matted PRINTS of "Homeschooling Allie!"

Those who bought my auction things, you'll be getting them anyway, so no worries!

I'll make HQ prints of this, mat them, limited edition of 25! So, they'll be signed and numbered, as well.

So, you'll get that, and a sketch of either Snape, Harry, or Allie. (let me know which) for $25.

I'm going to the post office on Monday to mail out cards and packages, so hopefully I can get them out then. I'll screen comments, so please leave your mailing address here, as well. ^_^

In other news, I got one commission finished, another one WELL started, and I'll be working on them all night tonight. So, if I'm absent from chat, twitter, commenting, it's 'cause I'll be painting!

Here's the Paypal button for easy payment!

So... just got up from my nap after being up at 4 this damn morning to go to the hospital for an inpatient procedure that got fricking cancelled because I'm feverish and sick. I'm so happy to have seen the sun rise for no damn reason. *sighs*

Oh, well. At least I have tons of SGA porn to read while I pout.

So I think I've mentioned before that Tom and I are getting the girls a notebook computer for Christmas, and Justice has specified the Apple 13.3" MacBook. She wants a Mac because that's what they have at school.

I am having real trouble buying this thing. No one in this household nor theirs has ever had a Mac. The girls are going to need help, and none of us are going to know anything, and furthermore, none of us are really interested in learning. Also, I'm worried about software. This one, for example, comes with 22 programs, and I've only even heard of three or four of them.

The more I think about this, the more I think that we should go with a PC. I Do Not Want to give an 11 and 12-year-old something this technical with which I am totally unfamiliar. The girls are on my computer and laptop as well as Elizabeth's all the time, so they know their way around Windows and the common MS programs.

Okay you Apple lovers out there - Try to convince me to get the MacBook. I really do not see any advantages.

SummaryNick and Stephen. A tent. Sharing heat.
Author's Note It's shorter than I wanted, which is why it's late, but the porn refuses to cooperate. For Adafrom who wanted Nick/Stephen Camping.

( Alone in a Tent )

Today I joined 3000 of my fellow Canadians on Parliament Hill today to support the Coalition. For a better explanation of what is happening here than I'm able to give, check out Yarn Harlot's blog. (It's also laid out here on DK.)

The big news today is that Madame Jean did prorogue Parliament. I don't think she had much choice, but I (and everybody at the rally) would have preferred if she'd refused and we'd just moved to a no confidence vote. What this means now (as I understand it, and I'm just learning this so I may be fuzzy) is that they're putting off the no confidence vote until Parliament reconvenes at the end of January. Harper's locked the doors to Parliament, winning what CBC is calling a "political stay of execution", basically saving his job by closing the government.

This means it's going to be a hard slog to keep the Coalition going. The Tories are of course going to frame the Coalition as an undemocratic process (it's not) and an anti-Canadian move (even tho they tried to ally with Bloc Quebecois when it suited them) and, if there's an election, that it's a waste of taxpayer money (which, okay, it is, but there's really no other option). The unthinkable outcome is that the Tories will come back from that with a majority government. This scares the living daylights out of me ... as it should every Canadian who is not white, rich, religious, and straight.

So it's going to be a tough few months here. I do fear the (lack of) organisational skill of the opposition, er, Coalition parties. Granted, it was awesome to pull together 3000 people on the spur of the moment to show up on the Hill. But when the MC (one of the most uncharismatic speakers I've ever heard) kept starting these convoluted chants, long and bilingual and just plain un-rhythmic, and then trying to make us sing, well, it felt a little sad. Is there no "si, se puede" in French? Fortunately there were some grassroots folks in the audience who picked up "hey ho, Steven Harper has to go", and that one took off a few times, and then we had "so so so solidarité". Can't we import some Swimmies from Ireland? Or at least some of Obama's people? Unfortunately those folks all got hefty salaries for their work, and there's nothing like that in Canada. *pouts*

But there was lots of enthusiasm for Jack Layton (the NDP leader) and for Gilles Duseppe (leader of Bloc Quebecois, who's not in the Coalition but supportive of it). Less applause for Stéphane Dion, unfortunately, he's a bit of a mess, as are the Liberals, but what can you do?

What can you do indeed? There are going to be rallies throughout Canada in the next few days, and more in the weeks to come. Go, show your support for the coalition, speak to people about it and help them understand that this is an historic moment in Canada. That this is our chance to put an end to Harper's pit-bull approach and to the intolerant, fear-based policies of his government. Canada is an amazing country and I am so proud to call myself a citizen -- I hate to see it trudging along in Bush's footsteps, and I so hope we can turn it around!

Anyway, for paraka who couldn't make it, here are some pictures (incl a rare pic of me!).

So that's been my morning!

It's getting to be Christmastime, you know. I don't know if you're shopping yet, and I kind of hope you aren't done. I'm only just now getting around to posting this, unfortunately, but please check out Product Red. Long story short, a portion of the money you spend on Product Red stuff goes to Africa. There's a section on the website where you can read more about what all Product Red does. It's a pretty awesome movement. And you're not paying anymore for the Red product than you normally would. For example, a Product Red iPod nano costs the same as any of the other nanos. Anyway, please at least look at it and pass it on.

Have you ever seen/read something that you're pretty sure is a joke, but you aren't sure, because it's something you actually heard people say. It seems too ridiculous to be true and it must be a joke, but on the other hand, people were actually saying things like that not too long ago, soo....

But I'm pretty sure joke.

( Alan Rickman at the Nobel Son Premiere )

This was at the EgyptianTheater in Hollywood on Tuesday!! And I left L.A. on Monday! I knew the premiere was going to be sometime soon, but if I had known where and when and could have gotten tickets I would have been there somehow. It might have meant flying home and picking up my car later, but it would have been worth it.

Alan said in a recent interview that after he is finished with the Harry Potter movies he would like to go back to stage. I am so going to see that if it happens! I discovered Alan just as Private Lives was finishing its run.

I totally fail and suck at timing.

I'm sorry you guys haven't heard from me in ages but right now I'm sitting on getting "Another Kind Of Magic" worked into an original (imagine that without all the magic *groan* all the things to be picked up by hand, no cuffs with simply waving a wand...).

I do have an old story of mine that has been sitting on my hardrive since years and which has a similar setting of someone being an apprentice and getting interested in the person teaching.
So keep your fingers crossed that I manage to weave the message from AKOM into this story and that I'm not getting sick of trying to write about BDSM in German, something that feels really weird!

So all the fanfic that is laying around in my room in heaps of paper is on hold for now. But I hope I'll be able to get back to it :o)

I feel very uninteresting atm. I don't really have anything much to post about because most of what happens now is either boring, or I can't talk about it. I know, though, that retreating into my little cave altogether and cut myself off from people entirely is not going to make me feel any better at all.

Instead, I'll post a movie again.

But, I'm taking a break from the Whispering Corridors movies. I don't think anyone minds that. *hears sighs of relief* ;-) So, I'm offering you a Japanese thriller instead as an early xmas/holiday present. I'm broke so I can't send out cards, but I do have a pretty good internet connection, so I can upload stuff.


Sôseiji (Gemini)

Plot: "Yukio is living a charmed life: he is a respected young doctor with a successful practice and a beautiful wife. His only problem is that his wife is suffering from amnesia, and her past is unknown. Things begin to fall apart, however, when both his parents die suddenly, killed by a mysterious stranger with Yukio's face. Only when Yukio confronts this stranger will the mystery of his identity, and his wife's past, be revealed."

I liked this lot. It's more of a thriller than a horror movie, because it deals not at all in the supernatural, but rather with the darkness that resides inside people and the evil things that people do when desperate, as well as who is good and who is evil, and from what perspective?

It's rather surreal, but also beautiful. The director is Shinya Tsukamoto, who's apparently made some rather celebrated movies (the Tetsuo series, for example), has managed to set a very creepy atmosphere all through the movie. It's set in the early 1900's, and is probably not something to watch for the claustrophobic. This is definitely a movie that I will watch again.

( Want to watch it? )

Anyone interested in some Asian gay-themed films? I mostly watch horror and thrillers, but I do have some of those too (despite being drama and/or romance).

Got home around 3:00 this afternoon. Today's drive was relatively short and pleasant; no rain, and traffic through Portland wasn't too bad at all.

Justice fell and sprained her ankle on Sunday (and of course no one told me until today), so she could only watch during dance class. But at least I got home in time to take both girls to dinner before class.

Unloading the car, unpacking, etc. will have to wait until tomorrow. I need to stumble off to bed now.

I'm not sure what pairing I wanna draw.... this is maddening D:

Possible post to come later tonight if I can figure it out <_<;
