Good lord. I’ve transcribed four pages already, only to find that I’ve only done 20 minutes. And I was on the phone for 75 minutes. Waaaaaaaah.
And your-site.com can BITE ME. Tomorrow, I’m going to start looking for a new host. Any reccomendations?
As excited as I am about my interview with James Fee, I’m *really* not looking forward to transcribing an hour and 15 minutes of footage. Wah.
[regarding my plots to find Alicey’s trove of ancient sketchbooks]
spockmonkey4: I will sink to any level to glimpse Alicey’s old sketchbooks!
queekie99: you may have one problem with the old sketch books though.
queekie99: there’s about thirty of them
queekie99: in a large plastic box
spockmonkey4: *shrugs*
queekie99: and it’s about 10 feet up in my closet.
queekie99: it’s.. very very heavy
queekie99: i almost killed myself putting it up there last week.
spockmonkey4: my strength is the strength of ten because my heart is pure!
queekie99: oh, quit speaking like.. like..

spockmonkey4: Carrot?
queekie99: Jesus?
spockmonkey4: *snorks*
spockmonkey4: Carrot is Jesus!
queekie99: most likely
queekie99: and Percy is God
queekie99: uh oh.
spockmonkey4: and Boba Fett
queekie99: if we pay attention to the Divine Trinity
spockmonkey4: Carrot is the son of Percy? That explains a lot.
queekie99: Carrot is Jesus, and Jesus is God, then Percy is Jesus who is Carrot who is Jesus who is God and who is also Percy who is also God and Boba Fett is God too and thus Bo..
queekie99: …der.

Holy cow. Ancient files upon ancient disks! I found my first attempt at Potterfic, which unbeknownst to me at the time sparked the Percy Weasley fandom. I found a ridiculous quantity of etymological research I did for my failed Marauderfic. I found pages of early HP4GU message clippings I saved for one reason or another. I found parodies I started, but never completed. And I found this gem from October 2000, back when RML was alive and kicking. God Bless Filks. ::gives Ellie Rosenthal alterego a swift kick in the head for good measure::
I could upload this to the RML website and link it here, but I’m a lazy bum. Come on, scrolling isn’t that painful.
Another Mailing List (Another Pyramid, AIDA)
Original music by Elton John and Tim Rice
Parody lyrics by Ellie Rosenthal
Ellie: While you’re wasting all your bandwidth
On the rest of all the web
Let your course start to expand with
An entirely different ebb
Now, you know, this means a changing
In the emails you’ll receive
There will be a wider ranging
In ideas you will conceive
Now, come on, you know you’ve gotta
You won’t know what you’d have missed.
Send an email to Renata
Start another mailing list
There are many who will join us
Soon we’ll have newbies galore.
Though a couple may annoy us
We can put them on “ignore”.
If this list is going to last, now
If we want it to succeed
Then our modems must be fast, now
and Renata must take the lead.
Soon our mailboxes will all be filled
And AOhell’ be pissed.
Switch subscription forms to “digest”
For another mailing list
Backups: Join it, join it. Another mailing list
Ellie: I hope you have time to read all
Of the email that we send (send!)
You’ll become an anti-social
And you’ll lose all of your friends (friends!)
By Renata’s coronation
We’ll have Lincoln on the dime
We’ll achieve world domination
One small country at a time.
All our families will gag and choke —
What step in upbringing had they missed? —
When we say we want to meet folks
From another mailing list.
Backups: Join it, join it.
Join it, join it.
Join it, join it.
Join it —
::music::
Ellie: You can check the huge list archive
See how popular it is!
So encourage all your friends to join
Renata’s mailing list.
Tomorrow, let’s celebrate Easter the only way we know how.
Presenting: Lord of the Peeps.
JAMES FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! ::dies of joy::
He’s an absolutely wonderful person. He talked with me for over an hour, answering my long list of questions. He has such a wonderful philosophy! I wonder if there’s any way I could take a class from him in the summer… ::happy sigh::
My report is going to kick seven kinds of heiney.
Muaha. Just got back from taking pictures of kidlets looking terrified. Muaha, the weird things I have to do for my art.
Why am I suddenly so obsessed with the word “kidlet”?
