Kasabian were WICKED. But first...the support.


Dark Horses were lamecore. Sounded a bit like a cross between a substandard PJ Harvey and Kasabian themselves, which may be ok if I'm sitting at home listening to a CD or something.


Live on the other hand, the singer is aloof and distant - never engaging at all with the audience. Maybe they're just too arty in a bad way.


The Hours were great. The singer is a bit awkward - but when it looks like he forgets he's on stage singing in front of a few hundred people that all disappears. And at least he talked to us! The songs were cool and I'm definitely gonna listen to more of their stuff.


Kasabian, of course, ruled. I've bought exactly one mp3 of theirs and that's it - so I didn't think I'd really be familiar with much of their music....but it turns out that yeah, I've heard them on the radio a heck of a lot and bizarrely they've been around a lot longer than I thought.


Of course, I feel like I'm still in 2004 and can't quite wrap my head around it being 2010 next year i.e. officially The Future.


The set was great and LSF is a FAB song to finish on - the crowd were singing it still all the way through the rain to the train station!

Who thought this was a good idea?

Or this?




Amy M. & Jenna B., URQTs. At least, I like to think that you are. Not in a creepy way, of course, or like I know firsthand because I secretly stalk you or anything...that would just be weird. I mean, look, I'm just trying to give you a friendly compliment, in a completely platonic, non-stalker-esque kind of way, Ok? Ok. As you were.

Author's Note:
Bonecrack was written and set in the 1970s, but I've just assumed it is "the present", because I wimpily couldn't cope with a crossover where one or other of the teams had to time-travel BEFORE they could begin their interractions. (And anyway, I can't remember what exactly was going on in the flat-racing world then, whereas right now the current season is unfolding before my very eyes).

... and he made it to 113. Henry Allingham, 1896-2009, last survivor of the Battle of Jutland. The navy is currently celebrating 100 years of naval aviation and he was alive for all of them - hell, he was in the navy for most of them.

As someone said on the bus, it puts Michael Jackson in context.

Title: If Wishes Were Horses...
Author: Major Roon
Pairing: No specific pairing; mostly Callie, Callie/OC, Callie/Erica
Rating: PG-13
Summary: If wishes were horses, Callie would have a ranch.
Disclaimer: see journal.

Author's Note: I felt like writing something a little depressing and this fic happened. Today is also International Day of Femslash, so I thought I'd contribute. The ending is a little odd, I suppose but I hope you guys like it anyway...

Title: Femslash Island
Author: Ann

An AU spoofy fluff written especially for International Day of Femslash 2009. There are too many fandoms and pairings to name. Suffice it to say the island is populated with lots and lots of women.

Disclaimer: Any and all shows and their respective characters depicted in this odd little story do not belong to me, and I’m fairly certain no one else will claim them either should she/he venture past this warning.

Summary: A peek into a modern day femslash soap opera, featuring various pairings from carefully chosen fandoms – most of them placed in a different line of work – set on a remote island, far, far away from life as we know it and centered on a very important event that will take place at the island’s premiere location… Hotel Calidornia.

AN: A bit of sap has seeped its way into the fic as well. Be prepared.
Word Count: 15, 969

My most heartfelt thanks to two very special women:
To flyingpeanuts for sifting through this fic, bit by bit, scene by scene, and keeping me focused on the winding and, oftentimes, narrow path.
To mrswoman for graciously taking time out of her very busy schedule to beta this rather long and drawn out piece.
To both: thanks for your constant words of support. It means the world to me to have two such amazingly talented women in my corner.
