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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
