Christmas Time in the City
Just doing some housekeeping. LJ was giving me fits when I wanted to post it before Christmas, so it only made it onto FF.net at the time.
It wasn’t like they didn’t know how to deal with crowds. They both had become acquainted with the city as children, knew that the quickest route between two points was rarely a straight line here, that rush hour ( Read more... ) -
September Mourn
(This is old and was originally posted elsewhere where my nom de screen was 'funnyone'.)
Bette opened the window shade to take in the stunning urban view her hotel room afforded. In New York to meet with Peggy Peabody, she'd taken a suite at the Hilton Millennium downtown amidst the dense clutter of skyscrapers concentrated there. Directly across ( Read more... ) -
Dirty Old R&B
These didn't get a lot of airplay back in the day thanks to the rather frank innuendo. I believe white folk were largely ignorant that these existed at the time. I guess they were that delicate. Anyway, no excuses now! Funny, dirty music for EVERYBODY!!! Plus the lead singers both have great voices. (Please ignore the stupid ass illustrations.)

The Ross Sisters - Eye Catching
These girls really like potato salad. They have an odd, yet fascinating way of showing it. The singing is OK, but things start getting freaky about a minute in. And boy, do they know how to make an exit. And let's give up the love for some ol' timey technicolor.

What the Kids Don't Know Won't Hurt Them
So we were having a little Rizzoli & Isles fic-a-thon:

And I think I prompted myself and now I feel dirty.
It goes without saying that I own nothing but these words.

Orpheus & Eurydice
She sat yet again in the back of a black SUV, yet again leaving her life behind tinted glass. Perhaps the familiarity made the pain both greater and duller. Details of her soon to be life were contained in an unopened folder. She wasn’t ready for it yet, couldn’t care about it yet. She had hoped her mind would remain blank a bit longer but it was ( Read more... )
