ladybug_archiveLooked through a couple of old tapes with Carmen episodes. X3 I found the one with the Zombie Jamboree! I thought I'd lost that, so there was much squeeing involved. I love Rockapella's performance of that! ♥ I think everyone who's ever sung it sings different verses after the first one. LOL. Rockapella's version is my favorite. **has also checked out the Kingston Trio and Harry Belafonte versions.**
So many good memories.... Everyone looks so young and cheerful and like they're having such a good time. That's how I like to remember them, all four of them together like that. I think the main reason I watched that over and over was because I just loved how much fun they were having and what good friends they seemed to be. (It didn't hurt that the song is very catchy, either.... I'm always getting it in my head now.)
And then, when I thought I couldn't get any more ecstatic, I found the part of an episode where they sing a song about the local university. Yes, right here! They chased a crook here and sang the song as a clue. X3 I'd forgotten all about that until I found it. I just love their song parodies. I wish I knew what that one was a parody of. I seem to recognize it, but I could just be remembering watching the episode years before. XD;
One hilarious Office skit Crystal Rose found proves that Rockapella was playing fictionalized versions of themselves on the show, too. LOL, Greg says that he and they were in a punk rock band and the Chief hired them all. XD So I really don't need to feel uneasy about writing for them. I can't stand writing for real people unless they're playing fictionalized versions of themselves or unless I have the person's permission.
And LOL. My T&D FF7 mystery fic is now eleven chapters and 61,121 words. Compare that to God Help the Outcasts, at eleven chapters and 60,320 words. The difference being, the T&D mystery is not done. I'm not sure if it will actually climb to 20 chapters like my YGO mysteries, but if it does, it will be HUGE. It's already surpassed the word counts for the YGO mysteries. (Though it's not quite as big yet as Life After the Tears, which I think is my best YGO fic.)
It's been pulling some surprises on me lately, even though I've tried to have things planned out. I know the basic plotline running through everything, and I think I'm doing a good job at making sure everything is connected (even though to the readers it might not always look that way yet). I'm still surprised by some things, however, such as Vincent playing a bigger role than I'd intended.

Date: 2008-09-26 12:36 pm (UTC)Yes, they do look so young...♥Yay for them singing about your local university! X3 I doubt they'd have sung about my university, since it's so small and unknown... but at least they came! ♥ **Hugs memory of Scott discussing about our football team**
I still find that Office sketch hilarious... I literally LOL'ed when I saw Greg show up in that get-up. XD
Yay for "Diamond Rose Glass" surpassing the other fics and the possibility of reaching 20 chapters! Yeah, Vincent playing a bigger role was an intersting twist. ^^
**dashes off to cross-post "Traum" and read the next installment**

Date: 2008-09-26 12:47 pm (UTC)Yay for them coming! X3 And Scott cracking that joke!
It seems so disturbing to think of Greg and Rockapella as punk rockers, and yet there's something so amusing about it, too. LOL. Greg with a mohawk!
It might be more likely that it will be fifteen chapters instead, but I'm not sure. XD;

Date: 2008-09-27 02:36 am (UTC)I love how Rockapella always seems so cheerful and like they're really having fun. That's what they were like at the concert I saw, too, which is probably a big reason why I loved it so much. ^^
That's awesome! Which episode was it?
LOL. Yeah, that accent was too funny! So weird to think of them all as a punk rock band, though. XD
Yay for the mystery fic! It's definitely awesome. ^^

The Pilfered Palace. X3 I'll get the clip. ^^
Yep, LOL. Rather disturbing, yet amusing.
**hugs mystery fic.** X3
