So, I've been in and out, more out lately, and I'm not referring to my sexual orientation. (Though apparently I'm going to have to find a different orientation now that Jensen is officially off the market.) I'm so behind on my classwork, but I'm going to try to be around more. I've kept up with my flist a bit, and left a comment here and there, but hopefully I'll be better now. I know there's some new people around. *waves*

So, here. Have some stuff.


Supernatural: I'm really enjoying this season. Changing Channels shot straight up on my list of favorite episodes. My only complaint is that I wish they'd get back to the apocalypse soon. I think that Jensen and Jared are doing a superb job with Sam and Dean, and the episodes look pretty and the music/scores have been really good. I've been staying away from any wank so I've been pretty stress free SPN-wise. It's been nice. : )


Football: Texas totally handed our ass to us on Halloween, but we bounced back pretty well last week. I think we could win out, and I'd love to see it. Playing Texas Tech this week will be the hardest. Colorado isn't a threat next week, and ou has so many people on the injured list now. I think we've currently got more talent, chemistry, and drive than they do. Here's hoping at least.

Texas is still on track to play for the Championship! : ) I'm still loving those boys! I've watched this clip of Jordan Shipley so many times. Hook 'em!




Yuletide: I finished my letter and put it here. I ended up requesting RPF- College Football (McCoy/Shipley), Saving Grace (any), The Men Who Stare at Goats (any), and Rio Bravo (any) if any of you are interested. There's still time to join for yourself until Thursday 9pm USA central time. Or you could stalk the Dear Yuletide letters here or wait until Yuletide Madness to just write something for someone else without signing up yourself. Remember that it's a rare fandom fest, and if you have any questions I'll try to answer them.


Big Bangs: I think that I'm a one hit wonder. Which, you know, I really can't (and won't) complain about because I did write something that I enjoyed and made me better as a writer. I'm glad people seem to enjoy what I write. This year's big bangs didn't quite go over as well as Only After Disaster can we be Resurrected. They were still interesting experiences for me and I like both stories, but I don't guess that they're as assessable maybe? I don't know, I'm just kinda thinking out loud. Feel free to ignore or chime in, y'all should know by now that I don't get offended by much around here.

Last Stand at Goblin Valley -> Sam/Dean in season four is a hard sell what with Sam lying like crazy and Dean having crappy year. It contains a bit of flashback Dean/OMC before the reestablishment of Sam/Dean between Monster and Shark. Anyway, I can see how people wouldn't want to read it knowing how S4 ended despite the relative lack of angst in the story and the happy (for now) ending.

Kingdom Hearts: A Love Story -> It's a Jensen/Jared fusion with the video game Kingdom Hearts so I imagine that would put people off. Really, you don't need to know anything about KH to enjoy the action/adventure and true love aspects of the story. I loved writing this one, Jared was adorable and I had a lot of fun writing Robin Hood, Pocahontas, and Esmeralda. Them's the breaks I guess.

I'm working on my Podbang fic, and I've discovered to my dismay that I don't get Audacity. Is there a way to record over something rather than creating a new track? And how do you combine tracks?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is baffling me.

ETA: And I just lost the last half-hour of recording because Audacity crashed. Again. Is there another program out there that might be easier and a little more stable?
