Conviction question.

Does anyone know the song that is played in the background of all the Conviction teasers?

On a side note, my mom has begun to immediately turn the channel whenever one of the teasers comes on, as I tend to sigh and begin listing off all the cool things they could have done with bringing Alex Cabot back and with the plotline of the pilot (as much as I've gleaned through spoilers and the teasers themselves).

And on another note way on the other side, you know you're a Star Trek fan when you're reading Silas Marner and every time you come across the name Eppie, you think immediately of the New Frontier books.

Found a download of "Let's Give Them Something To Talk About". So I'm jamming out to Bonnie Raitt.

I listened to this song like 2 years ago and mused over how perfect it was for so many fandoms. Of course, back then I only had like 3 pairings, all Star Trek. Now, though, after hearing it on American Idol right after NCIS, I'm all "Ooh, so Ziva/Jenny perfect."

So I went back to the site I was downloading Idina clips from and it is back up, but I only got 7 clips downloaded today before it started telling me that it could not connect with the site. Sadness.

Chenzely Idina Clips

Oh, so many of the clips are Chenzel-y. Even though half of them are from musicals or some such and not even original Idina songs.

For example: (The stuff in parentheses is my explanation of how the lyric hit me. And know that these are all taken out of context, my explanation is just based on the quote.)

I Know the Truth
"I know the truth / And it mocks me / I know the truth / And it shocks me."
(The truth being that she's in love with Kris.)

All Hail the Queen
"So let us rise / To where your dreams meet the sky / And leave this town / Gather the jewels for your crown / All - All hail the queen."
(Kristin's her queen. Enough said.)

Forevermore
"So just pretend you're blind and you can't / See me / And we will drift apart and sail on / Sweetly."
(Sort of a break up, when neither of them can handle the sneaking around anymore, but every time they see each other, they fall in love again. Yes, I'm feeling sappy.)

You'd Be Surprised
"You'd be surprised, I've loved you all along / You'd be surprised, I now confess when I am wrong / And I see the world around me in a slightly softer shade."
(Kinda a love confession, talking about how Kris has changed her.)

Just Kidding
"Oh well this ain't funny anymore / Don't think I really wanna play / Please tell this joke to end / And make it go away / Are you just kidding, baby? / You got me again / Guillible girl that I am."
(Even though Idina is singing this, I thought of it from Kristin's POV; her response to Idina's random flirty and suggestive talk. Possibly after the A&E interview, knowing that even though Dee didn't know it, she *would* rather stick her tongue down Idina's throat than Taye's.)

All Through the Night
"Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough / Let me be there, let me stay there awhile / We have no past, we won't reach back / Keep with me forward all through the night."
(To me, this is like Kris having reservations about the whole situation, and Dee reassurring her that it will work. Or a one night stand type of situation.)

Not a Day Goes By
"And no / Not a day goes by / Not a blessed day / But you're still somewhere part of my life."
(Not a day goes by that she doesn't think of Kris.)

And my favorite, and probably the one that most screams. . . well. . . "I Love You Kristin!" is:

Company
"And I know, I know / I'll never get that chance again / No, no not like you / I'll see you in another life now, baby"
(I see this as very after Kristin's last night; Idina hid behind her marriage as an excuse to not act on her feelings and now that Kristin left she's lost the only chance she had.)

Handcuffs by CrashCart9, PG-13 (House)

Handcuffs
Author: Alexandria (CrashCart9@Yahoo.com)
Fandom: House, MD
Pairing: Cuddy/Cameron
Rating: PG-13 for suggestive content
Words: 100
Notes: Written as a response to the best (and most unexplainable) quote ever-> House (to Cameron): Use Cuddy's handcuffs. I said that the quote needed a story, and finding_jay obliged with a short. And I wrote one back. This is that drabble. I changed some things from the first posting, mainly just bringing it from 87 words to 100.
Original post here, in case you cared.



House saw something odd when Cameron reached out to open the door. Peeking out from under her sleeve were reddish-purple marks around her wrist. He grabbed her arm and pushed the sleeve up further.

"House, what are you-?" Cameron protested, immediately jerking her arm away. She tugged her sleeve back down over her wrist.

But House had already figured it out. Just like any semi-competent doctor (or anyone who watched CSI), he could identify those bruises.

Ligature marks.

He smirked at her and raised an eyebrow suggestively. "Looks like Cuddy's gotten kinky!"

Her furious blush was his only reply.

I'm tired of not being able to read my posts on top of the background image, so I took it off. I feel kind of cheated though, because I had to experiment for several hours to get those the right size and all prettylike.

But now it's back to my original color scheme I like to call the Gelphie.

Download woes.

Okay, that's not fair. I was at 99% on one of the clips when it says the connection to the server reset. And now none of them on that page will work. (I actually tried them all this time.) So I went over the bandwidth with one byte to go.

So (writing this down for the sole purpose of letting myself know where I need to start next time) I still need to get summersgrace, surprised, twinkle and twinkle2, youcall2 through 4, and ispeech.

I've got only one page in the second part of my english paper, but I think that's going to be good enough. She's checking the individual parts, and it's worth a lot of points, but the actual paper isn't due until next week or so. And I've got 3 US History paragraphs to write on a really long document and a Psych reading quiz. But psych I can fake. Because we're on the Abnormal Psych section. And it's all about diseases and treatments. And I have most of those diseases. Plus, the whole medical thing, just like the anatomy section was, it's all kind of my field.

*Minor freakout*
We have to do our Solo and Ensemble pieces for the class on Friday. In front of a judge I can do, but in front of the class? I'm still out of tune a lot. And just generally bad at the piece. And most of my friends in orchestra are in the quartet, so it's not even a bunch of friendly faces. They're hostile and mean. (Have I mentioned that I really don't like most of the people in orchestra?)

And somebody's watch alarm just went off in the front room. I've never noticed that before. It must have just gotten set. Because I'm up at this time a lot, I think I would have heard it before. Kinda annoying. There, it shut off.

So I'm going to print my paper, email it to all my email addresses (I'm not risking not having it for 3 days in a row like last time), put my Handcuffs story on fanfiction.net, and read the history document in bed.

But before that, I'm going to take a slight detour to mention that the stretch marks I have all over from gaining 30 pounds in a month last summer (And the same thing happened the year before. In 14 months I gained 55 pounds.) have been really dark lately. I'm hoping that doesn't mean that I'm stretching more. Because that would suck. But I've only been to the gym twice in two weeks, so I'm not exactly preventing the gain of more weight.

Edit: and before that, I'm going to make an icon. Somewhat belated, as I already did. I'm still not happy with the font, though. It doesn't fit with what I was trying to do.

Okay, so now I have 20 stories on ff.net.

1 Harry Potter gen fic written when I was really young, really badly
2 Enterprise Hoshi/T'Pol (one incomplete, one drabble)
8 House Cuddy/Cameron
1 House House/Wilson
2 Bones Temperance/Angela
1 West Wing CJ/Gina
1 Xena Aphrodite/Discord
2 Wicked Gelphie fics
1 The Next Generation Picard/Q (also incomplete)
1 Voyager Seven/B'Elanna

The list kinda reminds me of the 12 days of christmas. I should try and do that.
