I think it will come as a surprise to exactly no one who visited remixredux08 that I was the sad soul behind the 300-line mock-epic House remix, OMG so much work and I loved it.

O Muse! do sing to me of 'Ventures grand,
The great and glorious Exploits in the Land
Of Princeton, where resides our Hero true:
A Man with Razor Tongue and Eyes of Blue
Who makes Fun of the Morons, heals the Sick,
Outwits Disease with Mind and Med'cine quick,
Annoys his Friends by acting like a Dick,
Delights in fig'ring out what makes Men tick,
Lives by the Credo that Ev'ryone lies,
And swells with Pride each time a Patient cries.
...


And because I love talking about myself and House and writing and poetry all at once, I whipped up a DVD commentary on the writing process.

Now, off to see who's who, respond to feedback, and, er, do some legitimate work.
 

Ah ha ha ha, of course I can read 300 pages of Interview with the Vampire and finish the first draft of the House fic for betas and research five grad school programs and annotate two books of Byron/vampire essays and write a letter to P. and publish three websites by April 15th. *cries*

No, seriously, I've found this fantastic new community for Vampire Chronicles fans, the_elitist_vc, arriving just in time for a group reading and discussion of the series starting with IWTV. Everyone over there seems very bright and opinionated and witty, and I'm really looking forward to the craziness that is sure to come out of this project. And because I can't say no even when it might mean the liquefaction of my brain, I'm going to try to participate. The musical has in its own flawed way rekindled my love for the first few books, and I need to re-read them anyway if I'm ever going to expand my thesis from school, so why not now?

Going to see "Threepenny Opera" tomorrow with Jess. Since Alan Cumming has the lead role, in honor of his lotion/perfume line we have dubbed the play "Cumming in a Theatre." Will post a review along with the much-delayed one for "Lestat."
