Alan Cumming on Samantha Brown's show
Nov. 28th, 2009 04:01 pmI was very excited a few months ago to spot Alan Cumming on Samantha Brown's Passport to Great Weekends, and promptly uploaded it to the computer to make screencaps to share. Then I saw something shiny got busy with other things and forgot about it, but today I remembered, so here they are! ( Click for impossible cuteness! )

This week's free song from iTunes can be found here - the link automatically takes you to the iTunes store if you already have iTunes and you can download the song for free.
I meant to post it earlier - new songs come out on Tuesday and the link is only good for a week. It still seems to be working today, though.
The song isn't about the miniseries, but it does use some Oz imagery and it's pretty.

Cute Alan Cumming sighting!
Sep. 5th, 2009 09:27 pmWatched a few minutes of VH-1's "I Love the New Millenium," which is mostly kind of painful. I don't think there's been enough time for the winnowing and sifting that tells us, twenty or more years later, what *really* sticks with us, the kind of things we love seeing again in, say, "I Love the 70's."
Anyway, one of the features is a dial that shows how gay each year is. 2004 ranked a "7" (out of 10) on the gay-o-meter. "That's about as gay as Alan Cumming!" said the commentator, and they went to a very cute picture of AC, smiling. So yay!

Book: The Looking Glass Wars
Aug. 21st, 2009 10:01 pmThis was fun! I collect weird editions of Alice in Wonderland - usually parodies or rewrites or pastiches - and this is a very enjoyable re-envisioning! A light, quick read, that will probably reward rereading. I aim to check out the sequels.

I'm gonna make make make you work
Apr. 30th, 2009 10:52 amFolks are doing the request-a-drabble thing, and I'd like to hop on the bandwagon, but it ain't going to be free! I have a fic-related trivia question - first five people to answer it correctly can request a drabble. Give me a fandom and a prompt; it'll be gen unless otherwise requested (partly owing to this discussion of awesome over on tinman_meta). Fandoms I'll happily write in: pretty much anything I have an icon of. (Ask if you're not sure.)
I wrote a story a while back called The Key in response to a marvelous prompt fromkseda, which was ostensibly a Tin Man/Return to Oz crossover. However, it also contained a further hidden crossover. I didn't say anything because I thought *someone* would pick up on it, but so far no one has mentioned it. It's a "concept crossover" - there are no actual characters from the other fannish universe present in the story. Answers are screened.
HINT (select the next paragraph with your mouse to see it): Remember the curse that was placed on Cain and Glitch. One of them was always an animal when the other one was human; they would switch periodically. To break the curse, they had to perform a specific action dictated by the person who put the curse on them.
