So I ended up finding a roommate on craigslist, she goes to the same school as me and seems pretty nice, so I'm really hoping that we can at least live peacefully although I have my doubts about finding a new best friend. She is in a sorority. Have any of you guys ever been in one? I guess the sororities at my school aren't really your typical sorority, for instance the one she's in doesn't have a house and she says that she mostly did it to meet people when she transfered. I am pretty much the exact opposite of a sorority girl, what with the whole feminist, radical politics, activism thing. But uh, sorority!flatmate (as I'll probably be referring to her from now on) was pretty much the best person for the place, so here's hoping. I'm mentioning all this because she is, at the very moment, moving in. She has a lot of stuff! Thus endeth the real-life portion of today's post.

In fannish things: eisakay generously shared Michael Rosenbaum's latest appearance on Carson Daly's show. In it, he does impressions of Clint Eastwood, Buffalo Bill (from SIlence of the Lambs), Christopher Walken, John Malkovich, and my personal favorite, Kevin Spacey. Carson is a complete tool decent interviewer (at least with Michael). They're having a lot of fun. Also, I think Carson's a little in love with him.

Watching this tickled my memory though, because I just knew that MIchael had another encounter with Spacey that he talked about once. So I dug through my media files and sure enough, I was right. Here's Michael talking with Conan (aka my favorite late night host EVER) at some unknown point in history. (or not so unknown since the file says 01-14-03) The guy does a good Spacey, and when he does it I can finally beleive that Spacey will make a good Lex Luthor.

I finished watching Season 4 of Angel now I just have to wait for season 5 to come out. Also I really want to get season 3 of The West Wing. I've been dropping not-so-subtle hints to my parents of the "it's never a bad time to buy me things" variety. So far no luck.

I don't know how many of you watched Angel or read the fic but if you've seen Not Fade Away you have to go read Pinch Me by itsabigrock. It's post NFA and Angel/Spike (but not in that obnoxious sire-childe way so pay no attention to the pairing if it's not usually your thing). It's possibly one of the best Angel-verse stories I've ever read. itsabigrock calls it "A Shanshu tale, of sorts." and it's just gorgeous. So atmospheric and god, just painfully good. This is how fanfic should be written.
