Fandom keeps me sane (and happy), and therefore I need to share.

First of all birthdays! Happy Belated Birthday to lubakmetyk, and Happy Birthday today to fishsanwitt! Hope your days were/are fabulous! *hugs*

Secondly, for the Whovians on my flist, a new vid by the impossibly talented humansrsuperior:

Brand New Day - a joyful look at S5 so far. I've been unable to stop smiling all morning!

ETA: Adorable reaction post to DW 5.04 by infiniteviking, with screencaps, which has made me flail even more! ♥

~~~

Thirdly, Buffy things! penny_lane_42 created a happiness meme, which reminded me of a meme from long ago (2004!) - the 'Top 5 Scenes' meme (I can see lots of people nodding now), where people would list their 5 favourite scenes from BtVS and AtS (a list for each show), and then often five favourite Spuffy scenes as well... The meme was so lovely, that I made a post collecting as many as I could find HERE. Enjoy! :)

Finally, jamalov29 posted morgantree's Man, Archetype, Beloved, and if you have never heard of it (and are any kind of Spike fan), then run, don't walk.

A couple of Who-related prezzies for you...

Hi,

I'm sitting by the side of the River Tay, here in Dundee, as the Moon glows brightly in the sky, now that the last of the sun's light has disappeared.

Anyway, as I was listening to a radio adaptation of Ben Hur earlier, I came across these two items and thought I;d pass them on to you. One is about my first Dr. Who companion, Jo Grant, making a re-appearance on a spin-off, the other is a review of a Dr. Who book from a gay website.

Hope you enjoy,

Still under Willow & Tara's spell,
Ray.

Sounds lovely. :)

And thank you for the heads up - I'd heard of the first one already, but not the second. Looks v. interesting!

Hi,

just for an added bit of atmosphere... this is the piece of music, or to be exact the second version of this tune, i was listening to whilst I was compsoing my earlier post. This kid may only be an amateur, or seems to be, but his version of this beautiful piece sounds almost as good to me as the professional version I heard on Radio 3 on Sunday morning, and was listening to online as I negan to post.

It's called Farewell to Stromness, and was written by Peter Maxwell-Davis. Decided to check on You Tube and, Hey Presto! found this version.

As i began this podt I was listening to Corinne Bailey-rae, and now Stevie Wonder is on.

Ee by Gum! The music's been ON tonight!

You know, I think Spikey-babes would like this music too. Whatch think? When he's on his own, and not being all charmingly macho, of course :-)

Still under Willow & Tara's spell,
Ray.

Ooooh music. Thank you! (And yes, Spike would probably love it!)
