Random post of the day: dancing draenei, Dove, The Spanish Gardner, my fic bunnies, <lj comm="spn_ha

Total random post of the day...

ITEM ONE - I may be having hot pervy thoughts for the first dancing (blue, horned, tailed, not-human, digital character) guy in this vid
(taken from digital_opium)...he has a TAIL! and he's BLUE!

Perhaps I've been watching too much Farscape recently...




ITEM TWO - The Spanish Gardner...ahhhh, the classics! Brit film made in 1956, with Dirk Bogarde. It's been widely analyzed in terms of masculinity and homoerotic subtext, a rite of passage for a stuffed Brit man and his son faced with the exploding and sensual masculinity of the Spanish gardner ... only Bogarde certainly wasn't Spanish *G*
Still, the slash tension between the Brit diplomat and the gardner is sizzling, and with the boy being the point of contention of their affection, it all makes for a very pervy enjoyable viewing.



ITEM THREE - as much as it obviously is a way to expand their sales and their target, still...DOVE campaign for real beauty at least brings ads for older women with actual, real older women on our telly, and the same for women that do not wear size zero...and this film says more than a thousands words...worth considering and appreciating, imo.



ITEM FOUR - I may have applied for spn_harlequin..okay, I have applied, I am waiting to see if I'm accepted or not (nothing personal if I'm not, there are only so many prompts - 72 - so the one I asked for might be taken already...)...and I haven't even asked if I could write John Winchester in it! SHAME ON ME! ETA: yesss, I can. Any genre, SPN or SPN RPS. *waits for approval*

Anyway, this forces me to formalize the fiction I'm working on at the moment, so that I have to keep at it ( said fiction bunnies listed under the cut tag not exactly in priority order apart from the first two )

I have probably forgotten something, but most of all...
Damn.
I need to stop reading fiction if I want to write any of that! There just isn't enough time! It's not fair!

*G*

YOUTUBE: something beautiful...DAYDREAM, by G. Sollima

Sollima is a reknown cellist...this music vid beautifully enhances the music, the artistry and the lyrical suggestions of it - there's a brief recount of how the vid was made in the Youtube entry, if you're interested.

I've listened and watched it several times already...and even if you're not that keen on classic music as a genre, the rhythm and pacing of it is breathtaking. imo. Enjoy!

I have my spn_harlequin PROMPT!

69. In the Heart of the Outback…

The image of Byrne Drummond has burned in Fiona's mind ever since she first saw him in Gundawarra. A stoic, broad-shouldered cattleman stricken by the wreckage her brother had wrought….

Byrne has every reason to hate Fiona McLaren. Her reckless brother destroyed his family. But Fiona's touch is the first to stir him in years. He wants to stay away, but she draws him like a moth to a flame…who will get burned?

Okay, 90 % chances of a change of the 'she' to a 'he', of course (and please do note the clever choice of prompt number *G*)...now, SPN, okay, the rules say at least one SPN character...I need to think about it! eeeek! FUN! :D

kita0610 has an excellent links recap post HERE about the recent LJ situation. Informative (and in the case of the link to the Six Apart VP's Twitter latest entry, damn worth seeing).

ETA: few more scary information about the possible nature of the policing activits here:
