Another month, another filk!
March 2nd, 2008
ACat and I are hosting the filk again this month, so if you'd like to come join the fun on Saturday, just let us know if you need directions. The last one was lots of fun, and I bet we can make it even better!

We hosted the monthly filk last night, and much fun and junk food and music was had by all. It was a good time, you should have been there. (Unless you're one of the people who WAS there, in which case - zoooombies!) People cleared out about oneish, and we promptly fell over. Sadly, my brain (which I am NOT speaking to right now) insisted on waking me up at 6:30 ANYHOW.
Nap later. Dammit. But it was lots of fun and totally worth it and we're doing this again. But yeah, nap.
Upcoming social events - Feb Filk
February 3rd, 2008
Gafia's February filk will be at OUR place this time, wheee! Officially, the usual start time is 7 this Saturday, 2/9/08, but those showing up early will not be turned away, and those showing up late will simply be required to be next up in the singing. We're not providing dinner, but will provide some munchies and soda, and can direct to any number of nearby places to eat. (There's a good Greek place almost next door that I'd recommend!) Two cats, no indoor smoking, not childproofed, and glad to see you all. We do have a guest room that we've mentioned to several people but no one's spoken for it yet - let us know if you need any of our limited crash space and we'll welcome you! Email my LJ account or 
autographedcat's for directions if needed.
Can NOT stop laughing!

88 lines about 44 fangirls!

(the original was by The Nails, if you care to look for it, titled 88 Lines About 44 Women, and is also quite clever, but this just keeps breaking me up!)
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket?

If you haven't heard yet that cadhla is doing a new filk CD called Stars Fall Home, you're missing out on something wonderful. Her first CD, Pretty Little Dead Girl, was straight from a concert and sounded as solid as anything you might expect out of a studio. Now that this one's coming from a studio, it's going to have a full NEW serving of all the gorgeous melodies and harmonies, the excessively cool lyrics, AND all the advantages that a studio recording can have!

ACat and I have been preordered since roughly a day after preorders opened up. If this sounds even slightly interesting to you, I really recommend you preorder too - it's Good Stuff, some of the best.
Filk fragment looking for good home
December 28th, 2006
Today's been slammed busy - I was wrong, I'm doing the work of 4 people this week, not 3, but I like being busy and since I'm no longer exhausted this is actually fine with me. Still, I had some Dave and Tracy stuck in my head, and there's a filk fragment looking hopefully with big wistful eyes, hoping someone will make it a Real Song:
Ttto: Cat Eye Willie (I think – it’s the Dave and Tracy song)
Charlie Brown,
You can kick that ball,
Come on you blockhead!
You can still trust Lucy
And run to kick the football.
But you’re bound for another fall,
Cause she don’t really care at all,
And fooling you’s her favorite amusement.
Fangirl squuuuueeeeeeing!

vixyish is an outstanding song writer and performer with such excellent songs to her credit as this year's Pegasus nominee "The Girl That's Never Been" (you may notice she's nominated for Best Writer/Composer, too, and from that lineup that's gonna be a really tough one to pick who to vote for!) but the one that brings me to tears every time is "Mal's Song". Anyone who's ever heard the theme song for Firefly will recognize the chorus, and anyone who's ever loved the show will fall for this song hard and fast. It doesn't get much better.
But it can get a little better - not one but two fan videos got made around it. If you're a Firefly fan, definitely check them out, and enjoy.
Friday is shortcircuting my brain
May 26th, 2006
Fridays before long weekends shortcircut my brain and fry my concentration, but it really is rather pleasant.
One symptom (and cause!) is ever since before I woke up, I've had a thread of melody winding through my head assuring me that Sarah Tapper loves Harry Marshall, and that's a lie and that's a fact. autographedcat and I just got our copy of the live CD cadhla just got out with her fanfuckingtastic performance at OVFF in 2005! I could selfishly wish it was a DVD so we'd have the full show, complete with schtick and costume changes and really outrageous vamping, but it's already so addicting, catchy, mindwarping and outright gorgeous that I just can't get this out of my head.
Not that I really want to... but now my shortcircuited brain is trying to somehow intertwine Sycamore Tree (the above mentioned song) with Great Big Sea's Ordinary Day, and assure me that Sarah Tapper loves Harry Marshall, and at the end of the day you just have to say it's alright.
Anyone out there can tell me where my model brain's reset button is? This is quite entertaining, but I'm not getting aaaaany work done!
EDIT: ACat took it and ran, and has posted his actual filk of Sycamore Tree to the tune of Ordinary Day - Ordinary Tree, of course. Squeeeeee! (AND, extra bonus, Cadhla loves it! DOUBLE squee!)
Productivity, of a sort

There are two new songs up at http://www.kitanzi.com/, for those that may be interested - particularly you, pocketnaomi, since one of them is the challenge song for "Go fix that typo" ttto Don't Push That Button. :) Great art it's not - but it was fun. Thanks!
We don't need no stinkin con reports!
October 24th, 2005
Here's a meme that might actual generate content of use to folks, for some value of the word: For those of you who went to OVFF and are just too tired right now to do a proper report, what are three things that you particularly remember about the weekend? They don't have to be the very best, but three memorable bits, and between enough of us we may have a good con report to share.
For me, I'd say bearhugging Maedbh7 when I first saw her, Cadhla's brilliantly executed and choreographed on-stage quick change behind a sheet, and the pool party Sunday evening - we need more people for that next year, if only to warm up the pool!
