So not being snowed under by work means that I might finally be able to finish all the memes I've posted but not finished, and I am the sort of huge nerd who is actually looking forward to that! Memes are fun and easier than actually doing anything.
Granted, these should probably wait until I'm completely finished with work, but I've also just come across this one and I want to put it up before I forget about it:
Give me a character or pairing and I will write snippets of ten different alternate universe for it. One line, ten lines, a ficlet if you're lucky.

2. cyberpunk:
3.furries vampires: (stop that, I don't know anything about animals anyway)
4. pirates:
5. ...in SPACE!!:
6. born another gender:

8. police/firefighters:
9. urban fantasy:
10. harem:

In "What The Hell Casting Agency" thoughts, apparently Patrick Dempsey, John Malkovich, and Frances McDormand have been cast in Transformers 3. Which...well, to quote the Go Fug Yourself girls: "That reads like a casting Mad Lib. Like, "[GREAT HAIR] and [VERY ACTORLY VILLAIN TYPE] and [RESPECTED INDIE DRAMATIST AND COMEDIENNE] will be co-starring in the new [SHIT BLOWS UP AND IS LOUD] by [NOTORIOUS NUTJOB].""
I'm not quite as shocked by Malkovich and McDormand, despite their actorly cred, because very good actors have a long and storied tradition of appearing in boomfiestas (generally due to the dump trucks full of money that the producers leave on their lawns at night) and after Ben "Remember when I played Gandhi?" Kingsley showed up in BloodRayne nothing surprises me anymore. But Patrick Dempsey? Mr. Romantic Drama/Occasional Comedy? Did you take a wrong turn in the studio somewhere and just stick around in hopes of scoring one of those dollar-filled dump trucks?
Also there are rumors of Unicron appearing in this film. I predict that it will take him a solid half-hour to transform.
Can I also just mention how much I adore GFY? It makes me feel so much better about being a stereotype of a woman who likes shoes and dresses and things. Also, apparently Katy Perry has worn a light-up dress at some point. No matter what I think of her music, at least she's living the dream.
Speaking of fashion and ridiculous girliness, these shoes must be mine. They're sparkly! And purple! And have laces! They are like everything I've ever coveted in a shoe.
*yawns and stretches* I should go do something productive today. Like finish my work. Or do laundry, since I still have no pants.

"Remember when I played Gandhi?"
Yeah, Kingsley, I do, now wtf.

Oh, and Ben Kingsley has also been in Thunderbirds, which while not quite as much of a cinematic eyesore as Bloodrayne was still not exactly what I expected to see him doing. And while he stated that the reason he did Bloodrayne was that he always wanted to wear a vampire cape, which I can certainly respect, he still hasn't offered an excuse for Thunderbirds. Come on, Sir, you can't possibly be that hard up for money. Even if you are, you could surely get a desk job or something. It might not pay as well, but dammit, you'd have your dignity.

For the meme, Donna?
(no subject)
Eee, I actually had something already planned for a couple of them involving Donna, so thank you for asking for that. :D
(no subject)
For the meme: Liz, pretty please? And if you could possibly make at least one of the ficcy-things Three/Liz shippiness, I would love you forever a great deal more than is probably sensible. *g*
(no subject)
Will do! And I can certainly incorporate shippiness if you like.

I thought I read Frances McDormand (hello, excuse me while I draw hearts around her for a while) and a unicorn were going to be in a film together and let me just tell you what a letdown it was to find out THAT wasn't happening, because those are two of my favouritest things in the world. :P
Pants are overrated, trufax.

It's telling that even when I manage to keep myself from going on LJ or playing solitaire or whatever I still manage to waste time looking at shoes.
I would absolutely watch a movie with Frances McDormand and a unicorn. It'd at least be really entertaining. Come to think of it, there have been far too few unicorns in the movies lately. I think this should be rectified.
Aren't they just? I'm so glad the weather's slowly getting warm enough for skirts, because I'd forgotten just how liberating a long, swishy skirt could be. There's space between my skin and my clothes! I can feel the air! It's wonderful!
