Stupid LJ
It took a lot to get me to move, but I got everything to copy over (I think) on the second try, so this is theoretically my last entry here. I'm at Dreamwidth - but under "mellicious" rather than this name. (Actually what's at "mellificent" is me, too, but it's only everything up to 2012, and I couldn't seem to fix it so I just did a new import. If ( Read more... ) -
Movies 2017
Last year I did a pretty good job of keeping up with the movies I'd seen here on, and this year I keep forgetting, so let's see if I can remember what we've seen in the last 2-1/2 months. Not a whole lot until the last few weeks, really. We did see Hidden Figures, which was of course awesome. I think we saw Rogue One again at some point after New ( Read more... ) -
Music Advent, days 21-25
To go back to the last MA post, the video that I posted on the 20th was "Black Sun" and the day before that, "Hard Sun" - there was sort of a method to my madness there, because the 21st was solstice and I wanted to go from the sun to the stars, for solstice. It just seemed appropriate.
And it also seemed appropriate that it be Bowie.

Never gonna dance again
I'll get around to doing the last Music Advent post sometime this week, but one of the videos was "Careless Whisper" and that just makes me sad all over again about all these people dying this week. Then I looked at the phone earlier and there was a breaking news e-mail about Debbie Reynolds being rushed to the hospital, and so it was like, aaand ( Read more... ) -
Holidays
I'm off all week - it's not actually holidays for me, technically, because I'm part-time and I don't get paid if I don't work. But we'll manage, financially, and I can't say I'm unhappy about the break ( Read more... ) -
Christmas Eve Gift
Well, the junk first of all: If you went to movies a lot in the '80s, like we did, this is a stupendously easy quiz. (A 50-question quiz that 11% of people get 100% right can't be too difficult, after all.) (I did have to guess on a couple, but they don't even make guessing terribly hard. I am kinda the queen of the educated guess ( Read more... ) -
Music Advent days 16-20
Day 15 in Music Advent was The Police's King of Pain - so my next set of connections involved Alison Krauss, because she has worked with a lot of different people, including Sting (formerly lead singer of The Police). This song is from the soundtrack to the movie "Cold Mountain" and was nominated for an Oscar, I believe. (A lot of bad music gets ( Read more... ) -
Yeah, I'm still obsessing about That Movie.
Actually, I've been watching stuff on YouTube about Rogue One off and on all night, but the last thing I watched was about The Force Awakens, and it's awfully good.
It's not a series I was aware of before, I may be watching the Fury Road one next ( Read more... ) -
Rogue One, and its place in the Star Wars universe
(I'm starting here pretty spoiler free, if I get spoilery I'll put it under a jump ( Read more... )
