    My 15 minutes starts now
    OMG you guys!!! I'm in the spoiler pics for AWZ's new year's episode!!!!!



    Oh, also, this clip showed up on RTL today, one of the most gorgeous skating scenes AWZ's ever filmed. Biased, yeah, shup. But seriously, guys, I'm just blown away. Especially since this was the actors themselves, not skating doubles! I can't believe how good these two have gotten, especially DG -- he may hate skating, but of late he's shown a comfort on the ice that just leaves me gobsmacked. Go, look at the pretty!!

    Happy Birthday To Us!!!!!
    I think you might have noticed my passing fondness (which, yes, was rapidly fanned into a full-blown obsession) for a certain German soap opera. Today is our birthday! Eskimo Kiss Project is one year old today!

    I was going to gush about what an incredible, intense experience this has been (and I still might after I have my coffee), but right now I want to share my squeee! We're getting so much love there, including THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER EVER EVER!!!



    Wish you all could see me beaming right now!!! (Or maybe not, it's probably kinda scary...)

    Why do we do it?
    Interesting article on AfterElton: Why are Women Interested in Gay Men? It's Not Because They Want to Sleep With Them!* Fortunately it dispels the myth that gay men/slash just appeals to straight women -- 38% of these polled identified as lesbian/bi/other -- and the explanations offered are a little more sophisticated than the usual "it's just like men liking lesbians." I'm less happy that the wording on some of the questions assumed heterosexuality (bad, AE, bad!) and were painfully American-centric, but some of the comments quoted manage to go beyond these limitations. All in all, pretty interesting read.

    Shopping Spree
    Ottawa is nice. Stable. Practical.

    Montréal is not.

    Montréal has shopping!

    Mad crazy shopping that just sweeps you up and hijacks your credit card and you don't even care. Even department stores that you'd expect to be the same everywhere are sparklier in that city. Like the Bay. Even the boring old Bay, when it's plopped down in the middle of Ste-Catherine's, is suddenly magically filled with irresistible baubles and fashions that make me look fashionable.

    Montréal update
    Conference sucked. My materials didn't arrive, so while all the other booths had fancy banners and slick handouts, I had business cards.

    On the plus side, I bought sparkly silver and black tights and met Deniz Öztürk's younger brother. Which I know is crazy, Igor's not Turkish at all, but this guy was and he was the spitting image: same coltish arms, same lethally long legs, same lips... have you any idea how hard it is to talk business with someone that has those lips?

    a title? you want a title too?
    I keep meaning to update, but my life seems to consist of:

    * dragging myself from bed to the coffee machine
    * staring dully at work for a few hours
    * falling deeper in love with AWZ (is that even possible?)
    * cursing the technical difficulties that complicate sharing of said soap
    * crawling into bed feeling like I'm behind on life
    * rinse and repeat

    I wonder if writing EKP descriptions and commenting on vids counts for WriSoMiFu. Because I'm writing fuck all else these days. The month's half gone and plot bunnies are happily breeding, but actually sitting down and harnessing them? Writing, why so hard?

    What's keeping me going is discovering just how AMAZING some people are! Get this: When the backdoor we were using to snag our video files from RTL was closed, some fabulous souls stepped in, including one woman in Slovenia who spent her entire weekend figuring out a different way for us to grab them. I'm just overwhelmed by the thought that somebody would do that for people they don't even know. Not only that, but we had other people--in Russia, in the U.S., in France--all offering what help they could.

    Fandom, you seriously rock my world!!!

    Of course, now that we've got this new method, I'm obsessed with going back and redoing the poor quality vids we posted for a week. If I don't, that will haunt me forever. Just like ep302 still does after nearly a year...

    The best thing I did this week was entice the lovely [info - personal] aldiara into marathoning the most recent EKP playlist with me. Soaking in the bubbles. )

    OK, enough blather about AWZ. There are other things on TV, yes there are! Like Merlin, which if you block out the first four episodes and say this season started with #5, is having a pretty kick-ass year! And that messy ending, YUMMMM! Like Misfits, the most wonderfully warped superhero series imaginable. Like my beloved Beautiful People just starting its second season, and I've just got my hot little hands on a copy. Simon, I've missed you!!!!

    And there is real life as well, much as I want to avoid it. I'm off to Montréal in the morning. Grrrr. Normally I'd be all over a trip there, but going to hear a bunch of MBAs rattle on? Shoot me now.

    But I probably should pack at some point.

    And stop being curmudgeonly, yes.
