Okay, so I'm at work and have to post this from my G1, so I can't squee properly--that will come later when I have proper keyboard access but probably not until tomorrow 'cause I have a Rhett concert tonight--but I HAVE to squee NOW about the fic I got for hp_beholder.

You guys I have a new OTP and I'm seriously not joking. Albus Severus/Viktor Krum. IT IS AWESOME AND BRILLIANT AND OMFG. I need more of this pairing now. It's like discovering you were craving something you didn't even realize you needed and now you have to have more, more, MORE.

Go read this: Finding Viktor Krum

P.S. Scorpius is awesome here too.

P.S.2 You know I love this fic because I typed all this out on a damn tiny keyboard.

So. I went to see Rhett Miller play in Northampton tonight, along with ze_dragon and bookofcalm.

It was awesome. I heart Rhett, especially when he forgets the words to a song or two because he's just so damn cute when he does this. But the best part was after the show.

Stop for a moment, if you will, and imagine your very favourite musician. The one whose music just means everything to you. Imagine that you have a chance post-show to chat with him. Imagine that you have a very favourite song of his from way back in his very, very, very early days of recording, one that he never mentions, never sings, that very few people even know about because his first album was a rather small run and is out-of-print, one that you're not even sure he remembers the words to.

Now, imagine that your favourite musician SINGS PART OF THIS SONG DIRECTLY TO YOU COMPLETE WITH HANDCLAPS while you're standing there chatting with him because your awesomecakes roommate tells him that this is your favourite song of his.

THIS HAPPENED TO ME TONIGHT.

You guys. I am still flaily. *hearts ze_dragon for telling him*

But Rhett Miller sang part of Fishbowl to me tonight. He recorded this song when he was in high school! It's on his impossible to locate Mythologies album--which he himself just got a copy of recently. *looks shifty about how I got a copy* I love this song a hell of a lot. And HE SANG IT. TO ME. AND HANDCLAPPED.

And he said that he has a friend who's trying to get him to re-record some of the Mythologies songs, and I'm like OMG YES PLEASE. \0/

I'm going to see him play again tomorrow night here in Boston. I. Cannot. Wait.

Here, I'm going to share Fishbowl with you. He was 18! Woobie! Ickle!Woobie!







Fantastic night. Fan-fucking-tastic. \0/

Just in case it wasn't clear to all y'all by now, I really, really, really, really, really adore Rhett Miller. I know--such a shocking discovery. :D But OMFG I HEART HIM SO MUCH. *squees and bounces around the room* He sang Fishbowl to me!

P.S. He's going to be on 30 Rock tomorrow night too. \0/ *makes note to set DVR, dammit*
