2011 Doctor Who Swimsuit Calendar

I think I lost it completely 'round about April.

ETA: Yes, BBC America appears to have pulled the swimsuit calendar from their site (more's the pity), though whether it's because it was *too* damn weird or just b/c it was a limited-time thing I have no idea.

HOWEVER, I saved the downloadable PDF of it, so if anyone wants a copy, PM me with your email (or email me if we've already exchanged addresses), and I'll see about sending it to you. :)

I think I have to see this movie. Robots + Bollywood = a Matrix/Transformers mash-up with musical numbers. How is that not awesome?

Rating: PG
Series: "Being Sherlock"
Characters/pairing: Sherlock/John
Summary: And now for something completely different -- the first EVER podfic of any story I've written, under any name! I cannot tell you how complimented and squeeful I am. As the original summary said, "Sherlock's a vampire; John's a werewolf. Together, they fight crime!" Lie back, enjoy the crack and be sure to tell [livejournal.com profile] ladyofthelog you enjoy her reading (she's posted it to her own LJ, here).

Title: "Two Of A Kind"
Author: [livejournal.com profile] argyle4eva
Rating: PG
Characters/pairing: Sherlock/John
Series: "Being Sherlock"
Summary: All the Werewolf!John and Vampire!Sherlock prompts over on [livejournal.com profile] sherlockbbc_fic seem to have affected my subconscious. The crackbunnies popped out of the mental woodwork last night and gifted me with the prompt, "Sherlock's a vampire; John's a werewolf. Together, they fight crime!" How the hell could I resist writing that, I ask you? Unbeta-ed, so any errors are mine, all mine.

Another week, no more fic, lots of life kicking my ass (but in a low-level, energy-drain kinda way rather than any one specific thing). Also a historical group event this weekend, followed by SpoCon next weekend, so I don't know what kind of writing time I'll have in between all that, either. Sorry; I know folks are waiting on fic from me, and I have a set of stories I need to beta for an f-lister, but right now it seems to be taking all I've got to just get through the day.

. . . Which, true as it is, sounds far more melodramatic than reality, now that I re-read that. :/ Ah, well, moving on to fun stuff, I've long been coveting the Rassilon action figure that came out after EoT. I mean, it's the freaking Action Figure of Rassilon -- for real! How could I *not* want that? The possible bad jokes alone are endless.

A random crawl around the interwebs recently showed a drop in both price and availability that set off my "going out of production" alarms, and I finally took the plunge. In fact, I also got an EoT Master action figure thanks to the reduced prices. I didn't want to miss out on getting a John Simm action figure while they were still available (seeing as how I didn't spring for any of the first gen Master figures).

The new boys arrived a couple days ago, and while I was posing them on the entertainment center for the hell of it (before they join the general action figure display on the nearby bookshelf), in front of a small vase of lavender flowers from the container garden on the porch, a cracky idea struck me and a short Action Figure Theater episode was born.

The question that started it all was: what if Rassilon had been a hippie during the Time War?



Rassilon: "Peace, man!"

The rest of the story under the cut, plus one really bad visual pun by Aleska. )

So I haven't been getting much online time lately (I'm backlogged on comments I need to make and reply to again, but I still love you all, really . . .), but somehow iin what little time I've been online, I've been deluged with fannish crack, at a much higher percentage than usual. I kid you not. In fact, I'll prove it.

First up, [livejournal.com profile] foalen follows her previous Photoshoppery with an image of Simm!Master all, um, ready to go on Iron Chef Time Lord. Once again, too hilariously memorable (if rather brain-burningly so, this time) to let it languish in a comments thread:

Under the cut to spare the f-list for size, and possible insanity (SFW, though). )

Next, following a rec posted most recently by [livejournal.com profile] kateorman, a couple of highly enjoyable Life On Mars fanfics, told via handwritten notes passed between Sam and Gene: "Just a Note . . ." and "Just a Slightly More Dramatic Note." Gene's messages (and doodles) are very much in character, so probably NSFW, and the second story ends on a cliffhanger (oh, noes!).

A little digging also turned up that one of the authors of the above note-fic is a very talented artist, with a penchant for, erm, unexpected LoM crossovers. Witness Sam and Gene as Aurors from the "Harry Potter" universe, and Sam and Gene meeting Sam and Dean (from Supernatural) for a bit of illegal street racing . . .

(Warning inserted here to [livejournal.com profile] countessaleska: browse Life on Mars art and fic sites carefully -- the slash content is rather high. And I'm saying that.)

Finally, [livejournal.com profile] ponygirl72 kindly collected all three parts of the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre's Doctor Who "The End of Time" parody/commentary in one handy LJ post. Go, watch, sporfle. XD

Hrgh. I think the extra coffee I drank to get through the day is finally wearing off, so g'night all, and cracky dreams (or a cracky good morning, as the case may be for you). I'll try to be more communicative in a bit . . . :)
dameargyle: (pizza)
Too funny not to share -- a bit of Photoshoppery from [livejournal.com profile] foalen, based on a comments thread that went *very* strange: Rassilon as Chairman Kaga.



I simply cannot stop giggling over this. There must be SOMETHING one can do with that idea, but I don't know if I'm cracked enough to follow through. XD

(It was all the Master's idea. Really. Don't ask . . .)
dameargyle: (adorkable)
I saw these cards mentioned around LJ, but hadn't tracked them down until io9 handily reposted and the Daily picked it up. Thought I'd link here for f-listers who don't read either of those sites. Anyone who doesn't want to discuss spoilers, pass right on by, this isn't the cut you're looking for. *makes vague, handwavy gestures*

Let's play along at home! )
dameargyle: (science)
Every now and then, Spike puts up a winner (and I still like them better than the Lifetime Victimhood-And-Disease-Of-The-Week channel). Thanks to my friend Matthias for giving me the link.

"The Steampunk Toilet"

The little laser sight is particularly cute. Would that more bathroom fixtures came with them (says a grumpy former janitor)!

Egads.

Here's *another* fascinating "WTF?" type site, where people post about bizarre online arts and crafts being offered for sale. NSFW, thanks to some of the more . . . interesting entries (that freaking wall plaque's gonna give me nightmares or something; who *thinks* like that?), although the most jaw-dropping thing of all for me is some of the *prices* that are being asked. Bwuh? I never got that kind of cash back when I was selling *good* crafts! Maybe there's a lesson to be learned from that. Anyway, here's the site, and then name is genuine win:

"Regretsy"

(Ganked from the excellent blog, The Park Bench -- go check that one out, too, for entirely opposite reasons!)

Well. Now that I"ve had my morning does of surrealism to go with my coffee . . .

Y'know, I'm very much for ethical treatment of animals, and I think our society way too often fails in that goal.  We *should* try harder, and all that jazz.  But I swear, PETA's publicity antics are often enough to make me want to go out and consume a cheeseburger just to piss them off.  The whole "sea kittens" thing was bad enough (even if it's deliberate meta/crack/commentary on their part, which I really hope it is, it's still annoying as hell) but this:

George Clooney: The Other White Meat(like Product)

Aw, man, that's actually kinda nauseating.  George Clooney's response, however, is pure class.  You go, dude.

 

dameargyle: (ponders)
. . . or maybe not.  It's hard to tell about these things when one wakes at 4:30am, gets a glass of water, and decides to fire up the laptop for a quick gander around the interwebs before going back to sleep.

"Pride and Predator"


After all the Jane Austin zombie novel was for real, why not this?

I have to wonder if Dragon (Dronet) will be involved, and, if so, what he thinks of it all.  Wish I'd known about this last week so I could've asked him at Radcon.  Aso, hasn't anyone in fandom read anything else by Austin?  She did write more books than P&P, after all.  Sense and Sensibility with velociraptors would seriously rock, for example.

Well, enough Deep thoughts for this am.  Back to sleep . . .
