a) BRMC's Live In London DVD is on sale. If you pre-order from the band's website, there's an immediate download of the audio files. I have no words for what the live version of Aya does to me. Just. Yeah. I'll be... over there. *waves helplessly*

b) Vacuuming, dusting, dishes are done. Laundry's mostly done.

c) 100 pages more read of Aftermath. I could pretend that I have something profound to say about it, but mostly right now I'm pondering how very small the world of punditry, analysis, and journalism is, given all the comments from other folks whose blogs I follow. Interesting to read Rosen's analysis of the surge in Iraq, and of Petraeus, and compare to previous authors' opinions.

d) Instead of writing my yagkyas exchange fic, I spent the day pondering a GK Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves AU.

I can feel you judging me, and all I can say in my defense is that Alan Rickman was AWESOME in that movie.

And that you know you'd read a thousand words of shenanigans involving swordfights and ambushes in the woods if it included Brad blowing into Nate's ear when he's about to win the archery contest.

e) Gabe Saporta's love for Mikeyway will never cease to entertain me. He encapsulates everything that drew me to bandom bands, back in the day, before I realized bandom even was a fandom.

FOR SOME QUEER REASON I see that happening totally the other way around. :D

For the record, if you write in Brad in tights and manage to make it hot, you'll win the internet forever.

Also--Rickman is awesome in every freaking movie he's been in, no? &hearts

That was the way I imagined it when the idea first popped into my head, but the more I thought about it, the more I enjoyed the idea of a role-reversal, having Nate, who wanted to grow up to be a Spartan, be the one to run off to war, and return home disillusioned by the crusades. While Brad, who would've gone with him if only he'd been there when Nate took his chance, stays home and makes do. And he's a good landholder, a good leader, even if though it's a few years before he grows into all of his responsibilities.

Then again, you know, just b/c I'm casting Brad as Maid Marian doesn't mean he can't be competing against Nate in the archery contest. :)

Also? YES. It doesn't matter what Alan Rickman is in, I will watch. From Something The Lord Made (with Mos Def!) to Perfume to Blow Dry. I loved him as the Metatron, as Snape, as pretty much anything and everything.
