Because I seem to rec crackfic all thetime:


Read this. Then read the sequel. So, so cracktastic. They're short, so go. Shoo.


Also, I had a song in my head last night but for the life of me I couldn't remember who recorded it. I first heard it about ten years ago on a cassette I'd bought in Cape Breton (I remember the tape was black, like every other tape I've ever bought in or from Canada.[/trivia]. It's about the collapse of Newfoundland's fishing industry and the fishing moratorium that was declared because of the huge reduction in numbers of cod. If you're interested in reading more about it (and I'm geeky enough to be interested), this sounds like a good book to get. It's on my wish list, but since I can get it used for 40 cents, I should just buy it.

Anyway, it's a beautiful, heartfelt song, and it was stuck in my head and I wanted to hear it again. I plugged the snippets of phrase I could remember into Google, and after literally hours of trying, finally found a download. So I figure I'd share, since it was such hard work getting it, and because it's gorgeous. It's amazing how every word of it came right back to me and I could sing along the first time (I tend to be dorky like that). It's music like this that are a huge part of the reason that I'm going to make it to Celtic Colours next year no matter what:

Pamela Morgan - It Ain't Funny

ETA to add tag because upon reread that second paragraph is one of the dorkiest I've ever read, let alone written. The fact that I'm ETAing about it is even worse.

I love this guy so much.

"Chafee said he has not decided what to do after leaving office, but he hoped to stay involved in public life. He said his loss may have helped the country by switching control of Congress." &hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts&hearts

Here's to you, Mr. Chafee, and thanks for everything. You'll be missed. Hopefully you won't stay away too long. *raises glass*

[livejournal.com profile] patchfire, why did you not tell me about THIS??.

You wanted to give me incentive, you might have mentioned it. Um. *g*

Random bullet point post, because yay for learning something new in html! Wait 'til I tell [livejournal.com profile] croosa. :)


  • I was going to see Twelfth Night in Providence this evening, but my friend got sick and so now I'm not. *sigh* I've got my pretty dress on and everything.
  • This is a galaxy of wrong. *headdesk* You'd think a store specialising in "sacred" items would notice the problem. (link from [livejournal.com profile] spikesloveslave)
  • [livejournal.com profile] sharon28 makes pretty vids. You can find them through this post. I'm partial to "Everybody Hurts" and "Something Stupider" (because it's RayV and Sinatra, which go together like gnocchi and gravy).
  • Happy Belated birthday to Neil. I can't believe I forgot to mention this yesterday. Cry your pardon, sai Gaiman. *g*
  • Apparently a whole entourage will be going to see [livejournal.com profile] mr_t00by play Mackers. I'm not sure if he's happy about this or freaked out.
  • I've decided to definitely plan for Celtic Colours in 2007. Will I need a passport by then?
  • This is interesting. UC isn't for everyone, but this post is a good illustration for comparing homebirth to hospital, with or without a midwife.
  • I feel like writing, but I need to clean before I can do that, and I don't feel like cleaning. I should, though, before my house is condemned.
  • Chasing Rainbows is melodramatic, hokey, stereotyped, and overblown. In other words, it's a nighttime soap opera. I'm hopelessly addicted and utterly charmed nonetheless. may just be in danger of losing my heart to Booth Savage. At least the part that isn't already gone to the guy with the braces.
  • Tomorrow is Remembrance/Veterans/Armistice day. I feel like I should do something to commemorate it, but I don't know what. My father was in WWII and Korea. Suggestions?


In other news, [livejournal.com profile] malnpudl? I get it now. Oh. My.



In further other news,I now have pictorial proof (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sam80853) that over forty and hot!female is anything but an oxymoron:
