TL, it's "Bride of Chaotica," for goodness sake. I'm thinking watching it stoned would only make things more fun! Sorry to hear about your MRI. That sounds like a chamber of horrors to me--I couldn't even ride 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at Disney World because I was too claustrophobic. *brrrrr.....* Glad you're done with it. I guess I'll jump on the bandwagon and wish all my Yiddish friends on this board a happy Passover. Thank you for the lesson in the breakroom last night. You'll have this lapsed Catholic, born-again Pagan sounding like a native in no time. Oy! ETA: I updated the Resources page on the ficathon to include a Message Board section. Also, I saw a local production of Auntie Mame this weekend and spent the whole time WISHING it was Jane Elliot playing the part. The woman who did the role was excellent, but I just kept thinking how incredible our girl would be in that part. Sigh. Adding to the wish list.

Dear Lawd, Mother. Is it our boy Keith, return from Far Far Away? I declare, I believe it is. Someone get me my smelling salts. I'm overcome with The Vapors! Hi, yourself, Keith. Welcome back. *waves to LaineyBev*

Seriously OT: I finally learned to get clips off DVDs. I know there are a few Voyager fans out there, so I thought I would put it up. The song is "Bride of Chaotica." I wrote the words and music and did the original arrangement with The Duras Sisters. This version was done by the Harmony Heifers. http://www.sendspace.com/file/splxfj I'm going play in the break room with TracyLuv, Hooked, and Lainey. Buh-bye.

Wow, MsQ, sounds like you're not doing too well. Still sending reiki and good thoughts to you. LadyA, ROCK on with your story. Lainey, when you get high-speed, you will be the download junkie to end all junkies. Prepare yourself.

Okay, first, thanks for all the great feedback on "Kissing Luke Spencer." I eat that stuff up, so, mmmm...nummy. Second, I've added two new authors to the Master List on the ficathon--David Evan Smith and Minerva McDore. Both work almost exclusively in Alternate Universes. Third, dudes, J-E.com got plugged on the Stuart Damon group! QuartermaineFan from YouTube mentioned joing the forum and said it was really Q-friendly. We might get some new members soon. MsQ and knh, I hope both of you are feeling better. We've been sick in our house ever since we got home from New Orlenas, so I totally feel your pain. Sending much love and good vibes from both me and Fey. Lainey, don't get discouraged. Write what you want to write, and don't compare it to anything but the color of the paper. Do the letters contrast enough with the background to be readable? That's really the only important comparison when it comes to fan fiction. Your stuff is unique, wonderfully entertaining, well-written, and smart. You have a good grasp on the characters. So stop beating yourself up, okay? Finally, to all you people who are talking about iPods, I'm BEYOND jealous. When it comes to technology, I've always been a 72 Pinto kind of girl. I'm still borrowing Fey's CD walkman (oh, I got in trouble last night because the batteries were worn down and I hadn't recharged the spares), and my writing computer is like, well, a 1998 Emachine with a used graphics card and the wrong video drivers. High-speed internet and digital cable are the only cool tech things I've got, so ya'll can just quit whining about your outdated iPod Nanos. LOL. Spoiled babies. Oh, did ya'll see DorianFan18 created a LuNacy message board? http://z4.invisionfree.com/we_all_need_LuNacy/index.php I went ahead and joined. Just thought I'd pimp it here.

I want to go HOME. This has been the longest week EVAH and no TQ to get us through. Lainey, Regency, Hooked, MsQ--ya'll need to be writing some fanfic to get us through. And Lady Ashton, we need TRASH, soon.

Ya'll, isn't that the same thing Lucky and Alan got addicted to? MsQ, you'd better be careful, or you might wind up having an affair with Maxie!

OMG, that first pic is luscious. I LOVE her mouth in that one. And MsQ, I have no idea which picture has the Oomphy Hair. Will you give me a hint?

I've updated the Master List of Tracy Quartermaine Fan Fiction. Lots of new stuff there, including an AU from David Evan Smith and newer stuff by Hooked, Regency and Lainey. I don't know if any of you have read Minerva McDore's Tracy/Alice femslash on the VolePit. It's oddly addicting, though somewhat OOC. I love the pairing, and wish I had the time/energy to write more of them together. Oh, I'll get around to it someday, I know.... Anyway, check them out if you're interested in going outside the box, ficwise.

Hey, guys? Remember that writers' block I was whining about in the break room last night? Well, I buckled down, ignored the television in my left ear (wow, we really need a place with an office), and wrote. I came up with LuNacy Lust. It's not where I expected to go with this, but I rather like the outcome. 100 Situations #38 (Prompt: Touch): Kissing Luke Spencer. MsQ, you will be in my thoughts today. I hope all goes well with your surgery.

Aw, KNH, I'm sorry you're sick. That really sucks. I hope you feel better soon. Oh, and Hook's story rocks. Break Room? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

Crack. Pure crack. I have SOOOO got to start writing again. I'm loving all this stuff being posted, and I want to participate.

Whoa, I'm flashing back to my substitute teaching days. I feel your pain.

ILTQ, I would be happy to make you an avatar. PM or email me with an idea of what you'd like, and I'll work on it for you. If you happen to have an image you want to use, that would be even better. Waives to Lainey and Smirks!

Sorry if I scared you guys. Fey is okay--she banged the top of her her head, but is basically okay. We're going to call her doctor to get some x-rays to make sure she doesn't have any neck damage, but aside from a headache (which she had before the accident) and picking tiny bits of glass out of her hair, she's fine. We were both extremely shaken up by the situation, but we're not talking lawsuits like all my friends on LJ are suggesting.... (Sigh.) MsQ, I'm trying to watch that YouTube clip of preparing for NEm's wedding, but wow, I'm not even diabetic and I need some insulin. I hit pause and am waiting for the whole thing to load so I can FF through the sappy stuff. Oy. Hope everybody is doing okay--maybe some TQ today? ETA: I uploaded another Change of Habit clip. This is the link for the Opening Credits where the nuns "transform" into regular women. I'm not sure if they were intentionally going for erotic or sexy, but...well, you be the judge. http://www.sendspace.com/file/la8ugs

So. Did anybody else's girlfriend smash her head through a taxicab windshield today? Fey's fine, and after surviving the heart attack of finding out at work that my girlfriend had been in a car accident, I got to leave work free and clear for an exciting afternoon in the emergency room. I take it TQ was not on today. Bully.

*waves to Regency* Sending good mojo for your writing and your computer. I feel your pain--until I can locate the proper drivers for my new (old) graphics card, I dread using my writing computer.

MsQ, thanks for the kind words about the songs. Also, I don't think your banner is girly-girly. I think it's awesome. Just beautiful.

Loving all the new clips/banners/avatars. It's a good, good time for the Lovefest. A couple of you expressed interest in the break room of hearing some of my songs. These were recorded live at Westercon 52. The group is called The Duras Sisters. We sing a cappella and it was a two-hour concert, so that's probably why we sound tired. All songs were written and arranged by me. Maiden_Song.wma: http://www.divshare.com/download/283090-a27 (I sing high part) Listen_to_Me.wma: http://www.divshare.com/download/283092-bb1 (B5 song; I sing Vir's part.) Ivanovas_Lament.wma: http://www.divshare.com/download/283095-8a5 (B5 song: I sing boom-booms.) Jesters_Waltz.wma: http://www.divshare.com/download/283097-612 (B5 song: I sing verse that starts "My heart is breaking...") Gentle, please. This is a former life, fraught with emotional connection.....BTW, Jester's Waltz definitely reminds me of Luke and Tracy. ETA: Sorry, I forgot one. This is a song from the album "Blues for Dumuzi" by Nancy Louise Freeman. She sings the first verse, I sing the second one, and the third is sung by Maya Bonhoff (who sang "Never Mind.") Nancy's website is http://www.stardustcounty.com/; Maya's website is http://www.mysticfig.com/ Blues_for_Dumuzi.wma: http://www.divshare.com/download/283128-801 PS, Hooked, I'm reading the ending of Chance Encounter right now. Did I mention I hate Edward? PPS, I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Paul Hornsby. Just watched some more of Schatzepage's clips. I HATE PAUL HORNSBY, aka ToadBoy! ETA2: Another Change of Habit clip. This one is called Feast of San Juan de Chagez. Note, Jane says GROOVY and gets busted with 25 Hail Marys. Dude, the Catholic Church was WAY harsh back then....and I STILL hate Paul Hornsby. SO not groovy.... Feast of San Juan de Chagez: URL to download http://www.sendspace.com/file/h4wf9s

More COH: Sister Mary Hotpants download here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/nog7kx ETA: Dudes. I failed to notice my 1000th post. Hope it wasn't something stupid. AND we're at page 291. We really ought to start discussing the prize for 300. We've already used the bread maker, the ice cream maker, and the cappucino machine. Maybe a PS3? Yeah, that would be cool. Virtual Playstation3 for whoever gets page 300.

How much do I love you people? And more importantly, how much do I love the BRILLIANT Fey, my most charming and intelligent partner? Why, you ask? Because my BRILLIANT wife figured out (finally) how to get Nero to allow us to rip video files off of DVDs. I spent the whole morning trying to figure out the basics, and while I'm still not there yet, I have a couple of tasty tidbits to offer you. The result of HOURS of trial and error. Change of Habit: Police Brutality: download at http://www.sendspace.com/file/hsge9h Leaving the Order: download at http://www.sendspace.com/file/j3quqj The sound is completely off, but that's a small problem I know I will inevitably fix. Expect some Voyager vids from me, since we have like $400 worth of DVDs sitting on the computer that I now know how to plumb for clips. Whee! Breakroom? http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012

SQUEE! Regency posted NEW FIC!!!!! ETA: Her Most Beauteous Self is on today, and already getting LOLs on the SZ Live post. I also had a dirty thought. Tracy. On the floor of the wardrobe room. Playing with Jacks. Trax, anybody?

TL, as someone who suffers from claustrophobia, I can totally feel your pain on that MRI thing. OMG, just thinking about one makes my skin crawl. I'm pretty sure TQ will be on today and (sorry, Lainey) I think all we're going to get of that "dinner" is the off-hand mention from yesterday. TIIC drop hints all the time and let them crash, unnoticed, to the floor. Maybe we'll get to see Tracy and Luke on the floor playing jacks. (Nah-nah, MsQ! I read the article!) Either that, or Maxie will crash the wedding and TQ and Luke will become wallpaper. Sorry, I'll try to be more positive tomorrow?

Break Room: http://pub13.bravenet.com/chat/show.php/1049349012 And NAH-NAH! I got the new ABC SID! She is the centerfold, dudes, and she looks FRACKING FANTASTIC! Good hair and everything, Ms. Quartermaine! Oh, and a leg shot. Okay, she was wearing pants, but I'm still salivating. ETA: JE tidbit from the new article: Jane used to sit on the wardrobe room floor and play jacks. I'm in love. I'm also two posts from my 1000th post! Dig it.

omg, LuNacy and a Smirks post ALL IN ONE DAY! If I didn't have to stay after work for a meeting...and go grocery shopping afterwards...and go to the bookstore after that....I would SO be going straight home to watch.
