Being frighteningly awesome, petite_madame was kind enough to include my story Last Day on Earth in her calendar wallpaper project, and hence made some most-amazing art!

It is REALLY FREAKIN GOOD, too. I cannot easily put words to how good! And putting words to things is generally my raison d'etre. Go check out the art, and make sure you tell her about

Never give up the Beatles, CB. NEVER. I may have short leaves of absence from them but I never ever completely stop listening to them.

Currently I seem to be in a Rubber Soul frame of mind.

[candle_beck]

hee, i totally know what the 'rubber soul' frame of mind feels like! kinda like watching the sunset through stained glass in the church of your childhood, very lovely and vaguely sad but in a good way. whenever we play desert island, i always feel obliged to take the white album just 'cause it's twice as many songs, but man, how would i survive one single day without 'in my life' to listen to?

[owllover711]

That's a great image of what that album feels like. I think every Beatles album can call to mind something similar.

I think my desert island Beatles album would be Revolver. It's always been my absolute favorite.

Bri was asking about you the other day and I said you were probably drowning your sorrows at the current state of the Giants in that Giants fic you were writing months ago. Do I dare ask the word count on that monster?

Don't think me faithless, but jesus christ, I hope not.

I am with you. I would love a fresh start for him somewhere. Honestly, I am glad the Giants have done nothing but tailspin since they put him on the bogus DL stint.

I hear the Zito feature on The Franchise was a heartbreaker, if your heart wasn't already broken over this fiance named Amber business. Did you watch?

well, the epic giants fic is actually super-exciting AU fic (kinda--it is hard to explain!) and currently my nose is flat against the wall of it. the trouble is, there is supposed to be a richie part, a beane part, and a timmy part (one million dollars if you can guess who stars in it, hee), and richie's part is pretty much done, timmy's part is just waiting for me to get to it, and billy's part--jesus christ billy's part, which is already to blame for the thing being as long as it is, and probably needs about a thousand more words to be actually done, but oh my god they are the hardest thousand words i have ever had to write. it is killing me

Wow! How cool is that calendar project? It makes me wish I could draw.

The Beatles, hmm. I like them, well some of their stuff, but I can take them or leave them to be honest. I just don't quite get it the way you obviously do. They don't move me in the way that some of my favourite songs do.

[candle_beck]

the calendar project is crazy cool! i was thrilled just to be asked.

and heh, being beatlesmaniacal entails an element of cockiness--"my favorite band is the GREATEST BAND EVER"--but i generally try to tamp that down. different strokes, and all.

oh man, I just found an old cassette of rare beatles ripped off the radio during the anthology craze. Paul forgets to sing and john calls him out on it and paul starts apologizing and even his _speech_ is melodious, its crazy. Also, it's ridiculous how I hear this and see it as if I have memories of being in the studio with them.

jack hannahan just hit a homer against the A's

[candle_beck]

oh my god, paul's vooooice. 'mellifluous,' i believe is the word. coulda worked for the bbc if it weren't for that lovely northerner accent of his.

little jack! travis buck is on that indians team too; they are oakland athletics: midwest addition.

I'm not sure the "Beatles restriction" will work xD I tried to get rid of my "Morrissey Obsession" but I failed :(

[candle_beck]
