Happy Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] luvsrimmer!! :) :)

I guess some people consider the following a mild spoiler for Hitchhiker's Guide.  I wouldn't, but if you hate all spoilers don't click here to squee over the dolphin song with me

[livejournal.com profile] bravecows is doing commentary on some of her fics.  If there's anything better than reading her fics it's reading what she writes about the writing of the fics.  *adores*  I loved learning that she wrote about Aziraphale and Caphriel (Crowley) making Ducks as a sort of counterpart to Change because she had read a bit in a Wodehouse story where a guy who's life has turned into a mess feeds ducks, and he draws comfort from the dependability of ducks always being ducks.  Uh oh, way run on sentence, probably doesn't make sense.  Just read the intro to her Commentary on City of Angels. (and then get hooked and read the rest of it.  go on... you know you want to.)

I saved her Commentary on Angels Everywhere to read over breakfast, so must go make breakfast, now.

As I was reading the commentary on Angels Everywhere I realized that I never finished reading the whole story when it was first posted.  I'd only gotten halfway through it.  It's kind of odd reading a story for the first time with all the comments in it.  But I do SO love commentated stories - it's just cool to get a look into the author's mind.

*listens to "So Long And Thanks For All The Fish" two more times.*  The only thing I really miss on that website version is that they cut out the big drum lead-up.  It's such a perfect old-fashioned movie song - makes me want to put on my old Mel Brooks record, "High Anxiety."  I wonder if I could replace that on CD?  I miss listing to the Young Frankenstien version of "Putting On The Ritz" and Madeline Khan singing "I'm Tired," and all the rest of it.  And now I went and pulled the record out to look at it and can't fit it back into the little cubby-space in the huge old console stereo cabinet where we keep them.  Yes, we have a stereo, so hypothetically I COULD listen to the records, but for some reason I never do.  Maybe mainly because I usually sit in the kitchen at my computer and the stereo is in the bedroom at the other end of the apartment.  I don't know. 

*wanders off to read [livejournal.com profile] daegaer's Coming To An Arrangement quickly, before leaving for work*
