Here is David reading "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day."

It's always lovely to hear David's beautiful voice, but this performance seems a little flat.  What is up with this?  Why does he seem so tired and disengaged?  He's usually so vibrant....  in this he's like Hamlet reading it at Ophelia's funeral.  bzuh?  o_O

This is a very famous ballad from the nineteenth century, made famous by Joan Baez's performance.

"  As I roved out one evening some pleasure for to find,
I saw a girl from Winchester most pleasing to my mind;
Her coal-black eyes, her cherry cheeks, like daggers pierced my breast,
They call her handsome Mary, the lily of the west. "

The link leads to a set of lyrics that seem to have been collected in Newfoundland in 1958.    Azazel makes an appearance:   "down by a shady grove,  I saw a lord of high renown conversing with my love"   !!!!


Anyone care to fic on this????  That's a Supernatural fairy tale for sure!! 

title: "I can live within you"
author: fannishliss
genre: Doctor Who/Labyrinth crossover
pairings: Ten/Rose, Jareth/Sarah
rating: G
spoilers: none -- post Doomsday AU

summary: The Doctor runs into someone else who longs for a precious girl.

For the spring Doctor/Rose fixathon:   this prompt by redcirce: "AnyTen/Rose: Labyrinth crossover! Ten gives Jareth advice on spunky, willful Earth girls and Rose gives (older)Sarah advice on sexy yet arrogant immortal not-human men who pretend to be British. Or vice versa"  ....  this fic has a darker tone than that but I hope it does the trick. :)  Thanks to stregamari and flydye8 for beta offers and encouragement!

soundtrack to this fic: see title.  I always revise the lyric that way. :)

( story under cut )

I have two versions of a ficlet.  I need to know if one works better than the other. 

It is for this prompt by redcirce "AnyTen/Rose: Labyrinth crossover! Ten gives Jareth advice on spunky, willful Earth girls and Rose gives (older)Sarah advice on sexy yet arrogant immortal not-human men who pretend to be British. Or vice versa"

I think I've totally failed to fulfill the spirit of the prompt.  My story is much angstier than this.  But it does have Ten and Jareth having a heart -to- hearts.  If you are interested in reading the ficlet, please comment!

[84] Sherlock 2.1 A Scandal in Belgravia was released yesterday to public television stations in the US, who showed it on Masterpiece Mystery, and my husband and I watched it in realtime. (Idk what bits were left out, it seemed to work pretty well.)

I love spoilers, so I already knew most of what happens -- I recently read a fic that apparently followed it almost word for word!  So there were not too many surprises. 

What I loved about the episode was watching it alongside my husband and for the two of us to compare our reactions to The Woman, The Virgin, and the Flatmate. 

Spoilers under cut.

( all the spoilers! )

Dalek - Love and Monsters by fannishliss
NC17, Nine/Rose [het!]:   After the Dalek kills itself, the Doctor is a wreck.  Rose loves him, spirit, mind, and body.

Bad Wolf - Seizing Life by fannishliss
R, Nine/Jack [slash!]: Jack and the Doctor engage in secret psychic communication while under arrest in the holding cell.  They don't hold anything back!

plus......crack!  Rose taunts the Doctor by Eating Pears.   (a comment fic at the spring doctor rose fixathon)

I have now walked more miles than I have seen episodes!  (that is a good thing!) By the end of April I had walked 84 miles.  That is a little behind schedule because April is so killer busy for me.  But it is still okay, and I got good walking in today and yesterday, so May is off to a good start.   I have not lost any weight (which would be a lovely bonus, should it occur) but I do feel a lot more fit.

[77-78 ] Supernatural:
7.19 Of Grave Importance (4-20-12)  Dir.  Tim Andrew; Wr. Brad Buckner and Eugenie Ross-Leming
7.20 The Girl with the Dungeons and Dragons Tattoo (4-27-12) Dir.  Johnny MacCarthy; Wr. Robbie Thompson
These two episodes were both fantastic.  I burst into tears twice during 7.20 because it was just too cool.  The Girl is one of the best ever!!!

[79-80 ] Community:
3. 14 "Pillows and Blankets" (4-5-12)
3.17 Basic Lupine Urology (4-26-12)
I am behind in my Community -- I missed two eps!  These two were both awesome though.

[81 ] Movie: The Hunger Games
This movie was so much better than I expected -- very hard hitting and political, which I didn't really expect.  Did it hit me harder because I am Appalachian?  I can vouch that squirrels are tasty.

[82] Doctor Who: The Two Doctors (1985), feat. Six and Peri, also Two and Jamie, vs. some Sontarans, "Androgums" (sadly racist), and the Third Zone.  We have watched the first two parts, and this one is pretty fun: Six is Rude and Two is Panicky.  Plus Jamie gets to wear about 20 pounds of plaidy.  He rocks.  I also like Peri and her clothes from 1985.  I used to wear a headband across my forehead just like that!

[83] Macbeth  (Great Performances 39.3, 10-6-2010) with Patrick Stewart.
OMG, this production is so chilling.  We haven't finished it yet because I have to keep taking breaks!! 

I have had a good time in April writing for the Spring Doctor/Rose Fixathon and for the DWPronathon, so that has been good. I still want to write some sort of Labyrinth crossover, and maybe some Eleven/Rose for the fixathon.  The pronathon is so awesome, we should extend it for the Merry Month of M----.  

I have two songs that are still in production.  It is so hard to make a great recording.

I went to the show of an awesome Indie Rocker Woman named Ms. Fridrich.  You can buy her CD from bandcamp.  I have been playing it over and over.  yay!

title: Gallifreyan Kama Sutra
Author: fannishliss
pairing: Nine/Rose
rating: NC17, Mature

summary:  Rose looks in the Tardis's library for something to read for an afternoon, and finds a sumptuously bound little red book. It turns out to be the old Gallifreyan equivalent of the Kama Sutra. 

For bloose09's prompt for a Gallifreyan Kama Sutra at the spring Doctor/Rose fixathon

Note: Yes, I did used to have a little red Kama Sutra.  It was not as beautifully illustrated as the one in my story -- more's the pity!  The Kama Sutra in this story is based on the notes from wikipedia; in my mind, it is from ancient Gallifrey and was written by the old Gallifreyans, not the Time Lords.  Please excuse the liberties I've taken with the great classic text; I hope it will not offend.
