Hello all! :) This evening, starting at 5 p.m. CST, I'll be showing a couple of Knight Rider episodes on my Livestream channel: "Soul Survivor" and either "Knightmares" or "Junk Yard Dog". This will be followed by two episodes of The Real Ghostbusters and the classic Disney movie Lilo & Stitch.

If you'd like to join the viewing please reply to this entry. :)

Tonight (Sunday December 16th) at 6 p.m. CST I'll be showing an episode of classic Knight Rider ("Chariot of Gold") on my Livestream channel, followed by the movie A Christmas Story... although I might easily be convinced to show another KR ep as well before the main feature. :)

My Livestream channel can be found here.

Please reply to this to let me know if you're interested in joining the viewing.

In celebration of my birthday! “Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law”! “Freakazoid”! “ReBoot”! And maybe, if I can get the DVD burned in time, some “Real Ghostbusters”! And then we’ll see if folks want to watch anything else!

7 p.m. CST tonight! I hope to see some folks there. :)

“This space is usually reserved for a brief description of a book’s contents. In this case, however, I must admit frankly that I do not know what Miss Stein is talking about. I do not even understand the title.

I admire Miss Stein tremendously, and I like to publish her books, although most of the time I do not know what she is driving at. That, Miss Stein tells me, is because I am dumb.

I note that one of my partners and I are characters in this latest work of Miss Stein’s. Both of us wish we knew what she was saying about us. Both of us hope too that her faithful followers will make more of this book than we were able to!”

First up, a big friendly "Hello!" to everyone who's subscribed to my journal (or who's just watching from the shadows) to keep up with my Garak/Bashir fics. I'm feeling a lot of love from the fandom while working with this pairing and it's provided a wonderful warm fuzzy glow; positive feedback, encouragement and concrit have always inspired me to be a prolific writer. :) I'm switching off between a few different stories at the moment and hope to have the first completed third of "When the Farsei Blooms" posted (to my Fan Fiction filter) in the next week or two. (I swear, the bloody thing's going to be longer than War and Peace by the time I'm done with it, or it's done with me, depending on your point of view.)

In other news, I'm hard at work on a joint comic book project with my husband and busily coloring his artwork "eight days a week"; wonderful stuff, but very creatively taxing. It's nice to be able to switch off between visual and written arts to help keep my battery charged.

I've just rediscovered the Ladyhawke soundtrack and am enjoying it immensely. Alan Parsons Project rocks so damned hard, in every dimension and on all frequencies. Now I'm going to have to dig out my old CDs to listen to their other tracks...

Other than that there's not much to report. Catch y'all on the flip side.

Thought I'd throw up a public entry with a couple of passages from a very long fic I'm working on in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine universe, just because I'm very pleased with how they turned out.

Title: When the Farsei Blooms (two excerpts)
Pairing: Garak/Bashir
Rating/Warnings: R for mentions of sex and torture (not at the same time, thank goodness)
Word Count: ~1900 (the full version, at ~7500 words, is available on the Fan Fiction filter here on my journal)
Summary: Stranded on a remote Cardassian colony, Bashir and Garak must seek out a transmitter which is their only hope of rescue. In the process they enter a new stage in their relationship, one that is not meant to last.
Notes: (1) The term a'latli, as established elsewhere in the story, is a High Kardasi word which roughly translates into Terran as One who strikes sparks from me, as blade against blade, and whose gaze sheathes itself in my heart. (2) What I rather like about this fic is that it's told entirely from Bashir's point of view and, as in the original TV series, it's never really clear when Garak is lying or when he may be telling the truth. I'd advise you to keep that in mind while reading. :)

For those of you who have no idea who Julian Bashir and Elim Garak are, a short but classic scene from the DS9 episode "The Wire":

You think crossposting stuff to FaceTwit is bad? That's not even the BEGINNING of what LJ is doing.

Basically it looks like a function that allows you to "share" other people's entries not just on FaceTwit, but on a ton of other services, including Digg, Bebo, AIM Share, and Fark.

Thought it couldn't get any worse? So did I.

Time again for one of my favourite poems of all time... I intend to read this at my husband's funeral, and I hope that it will be read at mine in turn.

When Earth's Last Picture Is Painted
by Rudyard Kipling

When Earth's last picture is painted
And the tubes are twisted and dried,
When the oldest colours have faded,
And the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall need it! --
Lie down for an aeon or two,
Till the Master of All Good Workmen
Shall put us to work anew.

And those that were good shall be happy;
They shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league canvas
With brushes of comets' hair.
They shall find real saints to draw from --
Magdalene, Peter, and Paul;
They shall work for an age at a sitting
And never be tired at all!

And only The Master shall praise us,
And only The Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money,
And no one shall work for fame,
But each for the joy of the working,
And each, in his separate star,
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It
For the God of Things as They are!
