Too much VH1 Classic?
Apr. 27th, 2004 12:12 pmYes. I am here to tell you that there is such a thing s too much VH1 Classic. How do I know this? Because I currently have Quarterflash's "Harden My Heart" stuck in my head, and it's been there since yesterday morning. Bleh. (Scary thing? I remember all the lyrics. Obvoiusly, my youth was spent in front of MTV.)
This is me, searching through music files on the computer to find something strong enough to drive Quarterflash out of my brain....

A/N: Presumably there's no truth to the rumors that Orlando had planned to propose to Kate at the Empire Awards, but I'm pretending there was—and that he did—for the purposes of this story. I mean, it's fiction, y'all. Thanks so much tovegetariansushi for the beta and the ongoing AIM feedback; the story has been immeasurably improved by her contribution. Any remaining flaws are a result of me having had a bit too much rum and a bit too little sleep.

The first pic should be illegal. I mean, smoking is so not attractive, but....
bunniewabbit calls it cigarette porn, and I think she's right.
I will give up my firstborn (or, you know, write a story or make an icon of your choice) for the person who gets me that first pic without watermarking. OMG.
ETA: Bothvegetariansushi and gypsyjolie have de-watermarked the pic for me. You guys rock!

Mar. 26th, 2004 04:23 amSorting through my pics (which is turning into a month-long task), I found a series of screencaps of Elijah's appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street, and...well, I think the icon speaks for itself.

Summary: Elijah's not sure he's having the same conversation with Josh that Josh is having with him.
A/N: The Chinese restaurant Josh and Elijah eat at is The Stag, just off Balboa Beach. AFAIK, it no longer exists; it probably ceased to exist before the timeframe of this story, but I'm taking liberties because someone, somewhere, needs to immortalize it in print. It was the best Chinese restaurant in southern California, IMO.

Mar. 21st, 2004 01:19 pmSo I've finally got my internet fixed; it turns out it was a combination of things, but they all seem to have been corrected now and I've had stable internet for over 24 hours!
And I just realized that I'd failed to put up my most recently created icons, so here they are.

Also, I've captured Elijah's TiVo interview ("Play Memory with Elijah Wood") and you can download it here.
And I've added a media page to my webiste where you can d/l media clips like the Tivo interview and my recording of Elijah at Mardi Gras. It's not password protected, and so long as my bandwidth doesn't completely go to hell in a handbasket I'll leave it up.

Summary: There's really only one thing Elijah's not willing to talk about.
A/N: Forvegetariansushi, who held my (virtual) hand as I watched Graham Norton's interview with Elijah, debated with me the meaning of Elijah's facial expressions, and didn't mock me for my embarrassment squick. This story is my way of trying to figure out the emotion behind his momentary turning away from one of the Theban Band's Frodo/Sam pictures.
There are two Gimli/Legolas pieces by the Theban Band; for the purposes of this story, I've decided that Elijah's talking about "Elf Worship" when he starts to describe one of them.
I've taken a few liberties with the transcription of the interview. Mainly, I've cleaned up the dialogue a little so that it reads more like fiction dialogue and less like sloppy real-life conversation.
