Weekend

[girlofprey]

nerdcakes was here this weekend. She was great. We watched Emmerdale, and went to a very bizarre late-night Simon Amstell gig, and explored the gaping underground chasm vaguely near my flat, and watched Iron Man, and discussed how fandom is just RUBBISH at pairings, and she watched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with me, and Arrested Development, and Suburban Shootout, and Dr Who, and today we had a truly memorable experience at the Tales of Robin Hood. It started with a live falcon (which was possibly a different bird), and ended with learning that green dye was actually poisonous back in Robin Hood's day, and in between there was a jaunty song about the rape of the Sabine Women, which it turns out was Sobbin' Women from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. I'm not sure if that's better or worse than a cheerful incitement to rape sung by and for a band of outlaws in an Errol Flynn-era film, which is what we assumed, but, y'know, memorable all the same. Rape seems to have been a bit of a theme for the weekend. Along with vomit, and people disappointing their dudes.

nerdcakes went back today. I hope she gets home alright, and the trains aren't too weird and Sunday-ish. I assume I will hear at some point.

Pairings nerdcakes and I generally agreed don't get enough fic:

• The King brothers.


• Richard Nixon/Henry Kissinger


• Obadiah Stane/Tony Stark


• Hiro/Ando


• Anyone on Suburban Shootout (I hadn't actually watched the Oestrogen Patch episode before. Dude.)


• Crichton/Scorpius (although I was mostly leading on this one)


• Arrested Development in general


• Anyone good

The second series of Suburban Shootout is out tomorrow. It's only £12.99 at play.com. /PSA

No way, dude! I was looking at it on Amazon.co.uk, and that said 25 February 08, and then that it just wasn't available. I was wondering if they were even bringing it out at all. I don't really have the money at the moment, but thanks for the heads up!

Yeah I'd looked for it before on Amazon and saw it had no release details and then looked for it on play.com as they tend to be cheaper and, lo! There it was.

The oestrogen ep is rather brill. And even slashier than most of the other eps.

Crichton/Scorpius

YES. YES, WHERE THE HELL IS ALL THAT?

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

There is one here (http://astrogirl2.livejournal.com/321244.html), and bits in The Red and the Black. That's all I've found. I'm mostly addicted to the vids Poison (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYyHoXzW_Gc) and another one called Rift which is meant to be here (http://www.kekkai.org/kazbaby/Vids/Rift.zip) but doesn't seem to be around at the moment. I WATCH THEM AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LACK OF SCORPIUS/CRICHTON, I REALLY DON'T.

HELLO, also.

Ohhhhh, Poison. *reminisces* hmpf showed me that in first year at university, thereby cementing a friendship and also my deep and abiding need for Scorpius slash. It truly has a powerful and strange effect, GOD it's a good vid. The lack of Scorpius/Crichton is TRULY BAFFLING. Although in all fairness I do slash Scorpius/Braca too. THEIRLOVEISSOOLACKINGINANYPARTICULAREVIDENCEINFAVOUR! I hadn't seen Rift before, OH LORD, it's properly mucky, isn't it? *glee and slight horror*

HELLO! &heart; *sings to you* I WANT TO TOUCH YOU BUT I BETTER NOT TOUCH - DON'T TOUCH! - I WANNA HOLD YOU BUT MY SENSES - TELL - ME - TO STOP!!

I totally got back home!

It was from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! Who knew? I can't believe Napoleon. I judge him as hard as the anti-piracy people judge EVERYONE ELSE.

WELL DONE, DUDE.

The only reason they played it at the Tales of Robin Hood is I think because somewhere at the end they say "just think what Robin Hood would have done", just ASSUMING HE WOULD HAVE GONE RAPING AND ABDUCTING. I assume plot twists happen that refute the song, BUT STILL.

The anti-piracy people consider people who download (ie everyone) NO BETTER THAN WOLVES, probably.
