URGENT UPDATE! This in from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angelflare!
EEEE! **sails over the moon.** Look at that gorgeous wing! And it's BLUE! YES!
Well ... This has been an interesting month. On my birthday I got season 4 of The Batman on DVD, another Clair Poulson novel, and a nice hardback of Ernest Hemingway novels, among other things. I really agree with his "iceberg" theory of writing. That's how I've tried to write for the last couple of years or so, letting dialogue tell a lot of the story and not telling every little thing going through the characters' minds. I try to trust that the readers are intelligent enough to pick up on what's suggested but not said. XD
And Kaze sent me a burned CD of FF7 voice actor songs, as well as the two most recent Rockapella Christmas albums! **squees.** They're so awesome. X3 They make me feel really Christmassy. Both of them are after Sean left, sadly, but I love them. ^^ I really like Kevin a lot; I think he was the perfect choice since they had to get another tenor. And it's great to hear Elliott on both CDs and Barry on one of them! They all have beautiful harmonies and sing a mixture of lots of different kinds of Christmas songs. And sometimes they do such silly things, like a monologue Scott does on Please Come Home for Christmas.
Crystal Rose has been sending me Carmen blurbs and pics, which are awesome! We both enjoy writing h/c, so the blurbs have a lot of that. X3 And the pics are mainly illustrations from Walk Like an Egyptian. Much fun and squee!
I've been having lots of crazy dreams of late, one of course being that cemetery one. I had another cemetery one, but it just involved me taking a headstone to use as a visual aid for something and then having to put it back. XD; And finding a bunch of people at a pavilion having a cookout in the cemetery! .__.;
I also had an awesome dream where Rockapella (the current lineup) was going to be giving a concert right here in the neighborhood, and I had gone to help set things up and hoped to meet the guys. X3
Then today I had a weird dream of tape-searching. I found a tape that had a totally different version of Zombie Jamboree on it, where the guys (Carmen era) were singing as they ran and leaped through a jungley/beachy area. LOL. And of course I woke up wanting to hear the song, so now it's been on Repeat for a while.
On the same tape I found a weird, WEIRD thing that said it was Little House on the Prairie but it was more like the Love Comes Softly series ... and it involved Aerith's and Seph's ancestors in a frontier town. And being a couple. And Seph dying. ;___; I despise the Seph/Aerith pairing, but the dream was kind of cute. And then it was so saaad!
In real-life, I heard Harry Belefonte's version of Zombie Jamboree, and it was one of the dumbest things ever. XD; The third verse switches gears completely and randomly talked about Brigette Bardot, and then the fourth verse was mostly the guy complaining about nuclear war. He tried to tie it into the song by saying if it happened, we'd all join the Zombie Jamboree. **rolls eyes.** Please to be keeping your political views out of a cheerful song about zombies, thank you very much!
The Kingston Trio's version, by comparison, is so amusing! The female zombie wants to marry the narrator and keeps bothering him. I was thinking how funny it would have been if Rockapella had sung that version sometime. I have this picture of how it would play out, with the female zombie chasing Sean and him mischievously singing the "I have to run away!" part. **snickers.**

**squees over Seph again.** Totally awesome and gorgeous and amazing! ^^ And all that detail in the wing.... We totally need a close-up picture!
I don't think I've ever read an Ernest Hemingway novel. That would be interesting to see some more of that style. ^^ **hasn't heard it called "iceberg" before.**
Kevin is awesome. ^^ He's my favorite of the new Rockapella members, just because he's so cheerful, and you can tell that he really loves what he sings. ^^
That monologue was totally random! And so amusing. LOL.
Those pics sound awesome! ^^
**snickers @ the visual aid.** Maybe you pilfered it for Rockapella to use as a visual aid in one of their songs? XD ....And that cemetery cookout sounds like it would go great with a Zombie Jamboree. XD
That's such an awesome dream! ^^ I hope they really do a performance near you sometime. Maybe there's a theatre you could talk to about inviting them? That's what the website recommended, though I don't know how successful it would be. XD;
**snickers @ the new version of Zombie Jamboree.**
Oh wow. That Seph/Aerith dream sounds so saaad! ;__; And it sounds like it would make an amazing story, with or without the pairing.
Who is Brigette Bardot, anyway? XD; And yikes. I'd say that fourth verse totally ruined the song. XD;
LOL. If only they'd done that version! I have to say though, of all the versions I've heard about, I still think Rockapella's is the best. ^^
no subject
I think he himself called it "iceberg." ^^ I'll let you know if I recommend the novels when I finish. I did like the For Whom the Bell Tolls movie, though.
**nodnod.** Kevin's definitely awesome. ^^
I hope he doesn't cut those curls, either.LOL! In the dream it showed why I took it, but now I don't remember why. XD; And now I have an image of zombies having a cookout. **snerk.** Too priceless!
**nodnod.** I could check around! It would probably be a better idea to wait until I have the funds, though. XD **is flat broke and wouldn't have the money for a ticket.**
If I'm not careful, the dream could end up making me like the Seph/Aerith pairing. LOL. And it's like the het pairing with Seph that I despise the most, aside from Seph/Yuffie.
Brigette Bardot is ... **tries to think how to describe her.** I actually don't know, and I hadn't tried to research her, but from the little bit I've heard in the past, she sounds like she was in as risqué of stuff as they had back in the sixties. **would call her a porn star, but isn't sure if that's correct.** Though the song describes her basically as being naked.... XD; At least he tried to tie the fourth verse into the song, even though it was lame, but the Brigette Bardot verse makes no sense at all. He doesn't even try to make it fit the song.
Rockapella's is totally the best! ^^
no subject
Totally! Gosh the zombie cookout is such a crazy idea! LOL.
**nods.** Yeah, the prices can get pretty expensive depending on the place. XD But if you're interested in that, probably asking sooner would be better so they have time to book things.
LOL. Yeah, those two really don't fit together. XD;
Jeez. Sounds like that verse was completely random! What was he thinking? XD;
