I have been looking in on a coworker’s cats and while scanning her music selection, found two INXS tapes that I know I have at home, but mine are hidden in the garage. So I’ve borrowed them. Michael Hutchence and his band were perhaps less than brilliant at times, but some of their songs are just gorgeous, and I had forgotten how great some of them are. What bliss to pop in either of the cassettes while in the car and I still remember the words to all of the songs. In honor of that, I’ve put the picture of MH leaning over some balcony railing (posted in a LJ entry a few days down) as my new desktop picture at work. It was time for a change from Rohan, anyway.
I’ve been reading HP fanfiction voraciously, feeling somewhat guilty that I haven’t been reading Tolkien as much, but I think that’s just because I was reading so much for Parma-Eruseen’s first-ever archive awards. I think it’s also some of the levity of HP that isn’t nearly as predominant in Tolkien fandom, not that there isn’t heavy angst out there in HP land (including stuff I’ve written) nor that there isn’t humor in Tolkien fandom. I am learning the joy of leaving reviews as well, which happily is corresponding with the joy of receiving reviews. I’m afraid that the archive at HASA being as large as it is, I almost never got any and had only anxiously awaited the responses of the people who reviewed my story in the reviewing pool. Now I know the sweetness of feedback. The concrit angle of leaving reviews has troubled me, though, especially in regards to HP fandom because I’m not as familiar with it as the Ardaverse. If I feel more concrit-ish than gushiness, I haven’t left notes. Must rethink this.
And I revisited my reply to the person over at HASA in regards to my fanfiction paper and discovered that it really wasn’t as neurotic nor as stand-offish as I had thought of it in my mind, and, in fact, I’ve written yet another reply which hopefully will bring the discussion back to the paper, or squelch the back-and-forth because I’m not going to discuss feminism and child psychology in my own forum, especially not with someone I know nothing about.
