No spoilers, none. No depth either, nor point. Ah well, can't win 'em all. It's been a while since I last posted and I'm getting restless.

Speaking of gay love! There will be some in Oliver Stone's Alexander and I am looking forward to it very much no matter how those conservative people, the Greeks, hate the way it will "reflect badly" on their glorious past. Alexander's bisexuality is history, you insecure nationalists, and anyway his empire might have been Hellenic but he himself was a Macedon. I maintain that there is a difference because I'd lose my own identity as a Macedon if I didn't. (No, not really.)

I also want to see:
-Ray, about Ray Charles and his womanizing ways
-Alfie, about Jude Law and his womanizing ways (this seems to be the year for it)
-The Motorcycle Diaries, about Che Guavara and Roberto Grenada (it's also the Year of the Biopic)

I wanted to see both Hellboy and Shaun of the Dead but sadly missed my chance.

Death Note film noir! L is a disgruntled detective! Light is his femme fatale!

"What can I say? I'm a simple kind of guy, I do what I want and I don't let no one tell me no different. Light, she was real society-oriented: the sort of gal who'd put leftover chocolate cake in the fridge and it'd still be there a week later. Know what I mean? All restraint, no heart. But man, I tell ya, she was a brain. Not too bad-looking, either - a shame those smarts, that pretty face, had to come with a real killer disposition."

Someone, please, write it for me? Please? [livejournal.com profile] v_voltaire, I know you're already working on old requests, but... *puppy eyes*.

(Hey, could this work for Naruto too? If you made Shikamaru the detective and Temari the femme?)

(Sorry for spam. 'Sis stress relief.)

EDIT: [livejournal.com profile] case_note. The Death Note AU to end all DN AUs! [livejournal.com profile] v_voltaire I love you ♥.

Title: Methods of Interrogation
Summary: Is it interrogation, or torture? A battle of minds on an uneven playing field.
Disclaimer: DN isn't mine and neither are half the ideas in this one (sorry [livejournal.com profile] keraha, [livejournal.com profile] telophase)
Notes: Set during chapter 35 of the manga, slight AU.
Further Notes: Not really a bondage fic.

There's this brand-new community [livejournal.com profile] fanthology, which will (in theory) be producing a new set of multi-fandom fanfiction centered around some particular theme every few months. Or, not producing, compiling, since previously written stories are ok. December's theme is "Ghost Stories." Can anyone think of a good over-1000-word story that fits? Yes, this is me asking for recomendations. Take pity! [livejournal.com profile] pornkings, quit misspelling my name!

boring literary stuff you can skip )

According to this NY Times article, Walmart has a more than two Internets' worth of information on its customers. A juggernaut, indeed *frantically tries to remember if she's ever bought anything incriminating from them, or given out her social security number*. The potential for abuse is staggering. No, I'm not just being paranoid (that too).

This is the Fullmetal Alchemist music video that finally answers the question, "Just how many special effects can you cram into a minute and a half, anyway?" Apparently a lot, although this one has more. (You have to be an AMV.org member to download the second one; the first has a direct http link. Also, SPOLIERS for FMA.) All I can say is TOO TOO FAST! AND SHINY! If I had ADD these would be perfect.

[livejournal.com profile] keraha, I read the Death Note fic you said was written too late at night. And I liked it, A LOT. Didn't have time to post on it, but you definately should. Post more publically, I mean.



To all you Nano participants: you're all crazy. Yes, all of you. Totally freakin' nuts.

This only took, what? Three weeks and a day? And by that I mean I didn't write anything at all for three weeks and wrote this today instead of my French composition. It's not very good, I'm afraid. I tried for associative but all I could do was rambling.

Death Note - Spoilers for after chapter 37. Misa POV.
In Other Words, an Exercise in Shallowness )

Real life will kill me. Right, and for actually good Death Note fanfic check out keraha's card game here. Ah, for her powers of description! And stuff.

I've exhausted myself on other people's LJs. No political rant from me.

Sing for your flist meme - #1 ("Macy's Day Parade", Green Day)
Sing for your flist meme - #2 ("Where is Love", from Oliver)

On an unrelated note: Light Light Light Light Light Raito Light. I can too adapt to change! Who's with me? Besides [livejournal.com profile] keraha and [livejournal.com profile] v_voltaire and all the people who were never wrong in the first place, I mean. (And who are probably laughing at me right now for even making an issue out of it.)

Additionally:
-[livejournal.com profile] v_voltaire is doing drabbles anyway! Hooray for her! (Quick, someone request Death Note. I was stupid temporarily insane and forgot to.)
-Bleach drabble at [livejournal.com profile] chain_of_fics. If I ask that EVERYONE WHO HASN'T JOINED PLZ PLZ PLZ DO every single time this comm comes up, will it be annoying or will it just be expected?
-I've had a change of heart and I want to use the word "drabble" correctly - i.e., only for stories of 100 words. But I own a community dedicated to their misuse, so I can't ever. Darn. I guess I'll just continue to spread misinformation then.

Good things about today (not necessarily my today, just today in general (Michingan) )

I've been slacking off terribly on the fic front. Sorry! Here're two drabbles I wrote for [livejournal.com profile] yasminm's "Genderswap" challenge at [livejournal.com profile] deathnote100 and then, um. Forgot to post and now the challenge is over and I missed it. Oops? Unfortunately for me genderswap is exactly the sort of thing that looks really bad out of context, but at least these really weren't all that good anyway.

This is my first-ever drabble of exactly 100 words! I had a really hard time. )
Similarly 100 words, similarly not-really Raito/Ryuk, and similarly bad )

These don't feel complete at all. How do 100-word-drabble writers do it?

Halloween Door Decorating Contest Door

Real-life Nonsense )

Go see The Incredibles. It's latest Pixar film with characters that look like they'd bounce if you threw them against a wall. Very, very Midwestern but and very, very funny. Fun to watch, too - like watching a video game! Yes, and I'm not making it sound good but it is.

Oh yeah, and
is my submission for this week's [livejournal.com profile] death_contest challenge ("humor").

ARG stupid wisdom teeth coming in crooked and cutting my mouth into little pieces. I feel like Agrajag. Not to mention a total dork.

Speaking of mention, I've mentioned this before but I want to write Naruto historical fiction with the Cast as a group of Albanian mountain bandits at the end of the Heroic Age. To this end, I was researching tribal customs in Albania during the 19th century (NOT for the fic- for a paper never mind that I wrote fanfiction notes on the back that were almost as detailed as my paper notes on the front XD) when I came across the following reference:

Excellent eating they said, only you must cut off the head because it is poisonous (it is not, but it can bite sharply); also because you must always cut off a snake's head. If you leave it as dead and another snake finds it before nightfall, it will cure it even though its back be in pieces.

OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A SASUKE/OROCHIMARU REFERENCE. THIS FIC WAS CLEARLY MEANT TO BE!
Seriously, though, the rest of the scenario fits scarily well provided I stretch the timeline a bit. It's expansive so I probably won't write it but the notes alone are making me very happy. \^_^/

The Rest of This Post is Political. My Apologies. )

1) Yakitate Japan!! the manga = crack
Yakitate Japan!! the anime = as much or more crack, which really should be impossible. )

2) The Tibetan Buddhists' favorite metaphor? Yogurt. )

3) Notes for Death Note, since I liked tin's so much )

Heavy-handedness! Yay! Ugh, I swear I'll pretty these up before I do anything with them. Right now I'm dead.

4)A Question, for those interested in fannish things. (The rest of you will probably want to ignore this the way you probably ignore most of what goes on here.)

-Think about your favorite character(s). Do you like them because you identify with them, or because admire them? In other words, choose one: you ARE them, or you are WITH them. If you HAD to pick one, which would it be?
