Blatant self amusement...

Paul Simon : So Artie. You've come crawling back ?
Art Garfunkel : It's very nice that you would invite me on your show, Paul, thanks a lot.
Paul Simon : Your movie's over now ? [ ... ] A little two-part harmony ?
Art Garfunkel : I'll try it again, see if it works this time ...
Paul Simon : The Boxer ?
Art Garfunkel : Yeah.

Hee! (From Saturday Night Live 1975)

Art Garfunkel : In New York City where we both come from I was going to Columbia University a few years ago studying to be an architect and I had an interest and a liking of the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright so I suggested to Paul that he write a song about Frank Lloyd Wright, and ...
Paul Simon : I didn't know anything about Frank Lloyd Wright however. I procedeed to write the song anyway.

There is something sad about the fact that Art asked him to write that song. I have a strange love-hate relationship with it, can only really bear listening to it once in a while...

Art Garfunkel : I said to Paul this summer, while we were living in California, "Why don't you write a song about Frank Lloyd Wright ?", simply because I was, once in my past, I was studying to be an architect, and I was always very fond of Frank Lloyd Wright, and to my surprise, he wrote the following song ...
Paul Simon : to your surprise ?


(Yes. I am actually this obsessive. It's kind of sad, really. Sound files for these quotes can be found here. And someone needs to make me screencaps from the concert in Central Park.)

I think the amount of really, fucking angsty fandoms I have says something about my mental state. Possibly that I'm a masochist.

What does it tell you that I'm in the two WANKIEST fandoms?

Not that I'm doing LOTR much anymore.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Yeah, LotR seems to be slowing a little on all fronts...

I don't know. That you have a better tolerance than me for idiots?

[thewayout.livejournal.com]

I can't imagine why. Possibly because there're no more movies. Which is what most of LOTR fandom is right now, anyway. People who haven't read the books.

*snort* YOU used to be part of potter fandom.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Lol, I know.

Yes, but I'm in the overly-snobby, canon loving fan who doesn't need to be a part of fandom as much.Plus, the femslash part of fandom isn't as strange as the rest of it...

[thewayout.livejournal.com]

So eventually, the people who haven't read the books will go away, and leave those of us who have, and it will be Good, and more people will write Eomer/Eowyn, and I will be Happy.

I write more slash than femmeslash, but I read very little of either, because I'm apparently too picky with my pairing (this also goes for LOTR as well--no one writes Karl/Dave, so I don't read anything). Or not, since H/D is rampant. Unfortunately, most of it makes me cry, so I stick to Bella/Cissa and Remus/James.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Aw, you don't want me in your fandom *pouts*

lol. You should try being a fluff shipper. The girls in HP_girlslash seem to believe pain, angst and hurt have to be involved in femslash...

[thewayout.livejournal.com]

OMG, READ THE BOOKS! WTF! They're the best thing ever.... once you get through them the first time. Or past the Fellowship, at least.

Honey, I ship Bella/Cissa. Fluff does not exist. I tend to ignore hp_girlslash, because they're either not very good writers (I'm terribly picky), or the pairing sucks. *sigh* But I know what it is to ship fluff. Sadly, I do it in a rare pairing. Though, if you ever come across any James/Remus, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE pass it this way.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

OMG NO! I fell alseep twice during in Fellowship. I cannot read those books. I thought the exciting part was where they explained about hobbit heritage and such.

True, true. I ship Ginny/Cho and Parvati/Lavender. Those ships turn up once a blue moon of Venus appears.

[thewayout.livejournal.com]

Fellowship is hella boring. Until like, the 11th chapter (Strider, is the name of the chapter, I believe) it has ZERO redeeming features. But there's all sorts of lovely things in the first half of TTT, and in the first 3/4 of ROTK. The rest (surprisingly enough, dealing with Sam and Frodo/Hobbits in general) I could do without.

I am pleased that I found a James/Remus FQF. YES.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

The first two chapters amused me. The rest made me fall asleep. And WTF was going on in Elrond's Council? ARGH! I don't want to hear your life stories and stop talking in prose and if one more of you start singing, I was kill you all.

Fellowship gets strong feelings out in me. I completely respect the books-culturally important and all that. I just don't find them an interesting read.

Understandable, of course!

[thewayout.livejournal.com]

Fellowship is boring as hell, as I said. Needs to be more fighting. Things definitely pick up after you get to Rohan, though, because that's where some of the more interesting characters come in. Then you have that nifty love thing with Eowyn/Aragorn. And Eomer/Eowyn is so canon. And and and. Faramir makes the most beautiful flowery speeches to Eowyn in ROTK. If SHE doesn't want him, I sure as hell do!

There needs to be lots of HQ fic about them. Yes.

[arvensis.livejournal.com]

I dont get the funny-ness in those things.



How angsty are they? How far are you going you little masochist? ;)

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

The first is funny because dude, they argued and split up so many times, it's kinda nice they can joke about it.

Fransk Lloyd Wright is kind of ironic, because Paul decided to use FLW as a pseudonym/euphemism/metaphor for Art, and it's become known as the good bye song.

Lol! Well, theres M.A.S.H which is about a war and in my favorite pairing, one of thems married. Then theres Cathrine/Sara which can be angsty like a big angsty thing...so many fandoms...*sigh*

[arvensis.livejournal.com]

Okay the first one, i get now.

The second one, i kind of get.

Hmmmm got them anywhere so i can read and judge for meself ;)

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Sadly, no. Most of C/S is from the comm. and those are a bitch to save.

[arvensis.livejournal.com]

Have you got your own memory section where i can peek? :)

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have any S/C fics there. I should remedy that at some point

[arvensis.livejournal.com]

Shame!!! I need your angsty S/C Stuff, badly.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

I know! I need to remedy that...

[arvensis.livejournal.com]

Yes. You very much need to.

[twisted-badger.livejournal.com]

okay lets see.
hahaha. :)
nice post.
and also, just cos'.
YAY MASH SLASH!!! and yay C/S from CSI!!!
if your a masochist, masochists are fun..
done now.

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-D

M.A.S.H slash friggin' rocks, I tell you!

And C/S are the sexiest thing to happen to femslash since Buffy/Faith.

Hee, thanks. I think.
