Waaaaaaaaaaaaaluuuuuuuuuuuu

Practicing my whale song there.

Home for 1.5 hours...of course, checking the flist.

Get thee gone from my friends list, fanficrants! Thou art driving me crazy and taking up much space on my fpage. Yeah. So bye.

I just had a major "Wuh!" moment...saw a pic of a good friend on her LJ...she's lost weight and gone blonde!

Today's show was decent...just busy enough to get through without being bored...just slow enough so that I could write a piece for the new quirkyhpshorts challenge...will be putting it up after I revise it a little, hopefully I'll have time to upload it Sunday night. Headache galore, saw the lovely family, had a horrid dinner at PF Chang's (I really dislike that restaurant), and will be zooming back to the hotel in another half hour so that I can try to sleep. Hopefully the people in the room above me will not desire a shower at 2 am like they did this morning. It sounded like a waterfall had suddenly exploded in my room.

No one shouted anything about catsup at me today. I'm rather depressed about that.

Now that I think about it - what the hell is catsup, anyway? Is it like ketchup?

Bummer about dropping fanficrants. There are a lot of them, I know. I'm finding it a very amusing community. Of course, I don't know most of the fandom rants, so I can avoid those. The general rants work best for me.

Don't know what PF Chang's is. Apparently, that's a good thing.

there was a story on NPR this morning about somebody named Neely and his alternative version of HP called "Wizard People, Dear Reader." I guess he's gotten in trouble with Warner Brothers over having done a live version with a screening of the picture with his own narration replacing the actual audio. This is probably old news for someone like you. ;)

But it made me think of you because it discussed how the publishing of fan fiction of HP would be considered an liability to Rowling and WB because it's in their best interests to keep the product scarce in order for people to really want to see/read the newest material from Rowling and the film producers. The NPR report kind of implied that the "powers-that-be" had nothing against all the fan fiction, or even Neely's parody, as long as it didn't become a new, published derivative work whose presence in the income-generating mainstream and thereby competing with the official material. The Neely situation was even more complicated though, because he charged no admission for his screening+plus+live+commentary, but since he clearly was doing a public performance of a new work which does not use the 35mm print of the HP film in the way the creators intended (and did not ask permission), that some kind of objectionable legal gray area was entered -- i.e.: he hadn't violated anything legally when he was just privately selling the CDs of his narration that you could sync up to your video of HP.

Anyway, perhaps you (and everyone who posts on your threads!) know all about all of this already, but just in case...
