Hello, Yuletide Santa! This is my first year participating, and in my confusion I was woefully unspecific in my requests. My letter clarifying my desires is here.

Thank you!

Love,
Priscellie

HA! Long ago, I mentioned my Neil Gaiman story to a friend, who passed it on to one of his friends, who went to see Neil at his big live-action Sandman thing on Saturday. Neil did a similar-style Q&A there, and the friend of a friend submitted this. It’s in the first ten seconds.

I kind of love the universe.

Yeah, so I fail at NaBloPoMo. I was too busy this weekend having a fantastic time with my aunt and uncle to write blog entries! We attended two spectacular Broadway shows, Gypsy (with the extraordinary Patti LuPone) and Chekov’s The Seagull, and spent Saturday afternoon at the MoMA.

Regarding Gypsy, I find it hilarious that two of the most “upbeat” audition songs I know, “Everything’s Comin’ Up Roses” and “Cabaret,” are sung by women fighting not to break down in despair.

Regarding MoMA, SO MUCH JOY! They’re doing a special exhibition on Van Gogh’s paintings of night scenes, and my faith in “Starry Night” has been restored! I first saw “Starry Night” in person when I was a senior in high school, and I was crushed to see it was so much smaller than I imagined. Note that this came the year after I saw the Rosetta Stone in person, which I’d imagined as a 2001-esque monolith. It was like learning Santa wasn’t real. Anyway, since then, the shock made me misremember the size of “Starry Night” as being much smaller than it actually was, so when I saw it again, I was overjoyed. YES, that’s how big “Starry Night” should be! It’s perfect! Three cheers for confusing the brain with unreasonable expectations! Now if only the Mona Lisa and “Persistence of Memory” would follow suit.

Anyway, yay for getting to spend time with my aunt and uncle! Best relatives ever. Don’t try to argue, because you will be wrong.

  • 10:11 Hissss. One of my coworkers used my computer over the weekend, and he screwed with my monitor settings. He needs to put them back pronto. #
  • 14:58 @mkcho73 Please do! #
  • 16:51 Yuletide sign ups end in like four hours. I should probably come up with some prompts, yes? #
  • 17:54 Passed TV showing photo of Laura and Michelle meeting in the White House, and was struck by another moment of OMG WE ELECTED OBAMA. #
  • 18:44 OOOOOOH. The trailer for Pixar’s "Up" is up! Good lord, I would sell a kidney to work for that studio. #
  • 20:26 OOOOH. Rothfuss’ Kingkiller series is among the accepted fandoms for Yuletide! TEMPTING. Oh my god, I need to reread that book. #
  • 21:15 Everything has an obsession with pie! First Pushing Daisies, then Obama, and now Heroes. Come on, ABC, you know you want to renew PD. #
  • 21:26 @boymonster Perri-Air? #
  • 23:36 @boymonster It was PEACH! #
  • 23:37 Car alarms should be illegal. #
  • 23:39 @edeainfj Gay people don’t care about leg room! Have you seen how they pack people like sardines in Broadway theatres? Worse than airplanes! #
  • 23:41 @edeainfj So angry Prop 8 was even on the ballot. Because a fearful majority will always vote to protect the rights of a minority. *eyeroll* #
  • 23:47 Okay, if the car alarm won’t stop, I reserve the right to smash the windows with a bat. Give the car something *real* to be alarmed about. #
  • 23:49 And it’s off! THANK YOU, JESUS. 15 minutes: by no means an Avenue D record, but still "Shining"-level crazymaking. #
  • 00:15 Hmph. I guess that’s what comes of finishing a fic after midnight. My betas are asleep. I probably should be, too. #
  • 00:27 @fourteenacross Then afterward, Keith should wash his suit. You don’t know where the internet has been. #

  • 10:27 @mkcho73 Where are you seeing the beta option? Netflix still says my Mac is incompatible, and I even have Crossover installed. #
  • 10:29 @mkcho73 Aha! Should have searched Google for answers first. I have now joined the Netflix Instant View for Mac beta! *grooves* #
  • 10:33 To other Mac users: opt in at www.netflix.com/silverlightoptin #
  • 10:47 @sinspired Yay! Can’t wait to hear how everyone else responded. You had some great questions, with high potential for hilarity. :D #
  • 11:03 @edeainfj Happiness is a warm kitten and an episode of Pushing Daisies. #
  • 11:09 @gypsyjr OMGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Congrats, hon! Your hard work and perseverance (and stressful Election Day interviews) have paid off! #
  • 11:12 @fourteenacross Man, and I thought Psych scheduling their Christmas episode over Thanksgiving break was nuts. Which shows? #
  • 11:37 @sinspired I know you get a lot of people trying to evangelize shows/books to you, but… Pushing Daisies is something special. Watch it. #
  • 17:10 @PSUbrat So… I should be watching it, despite its lack of John Simm? But… John Simm! #
  • 17:12 @drhorrible "Doctor Horrible" is going to be the most amazingly brilliant DVD in world history, isn’t it? #
  • 17:18 @mkcho73 R2D2 knit hat? Where do I get one? I need a new hat for winter! (Hmm, only finding patterns. Guess I can just make my own…) #
