rionaleonhart: final fantasy x-2: the sun is rising, yuna looks to the future. (cortese)
I SAY THINGS AND THEN THEY COME TRUE. I SAY THINGS AND THEN THEY COME TRUE. I SAID ON FRIDAY THAT I WANTED VICTORIA COREN TO BE AT THE WOULD I LIE TO YOU? RECORDING AND SHE WAS. I SAID IN MY WRITEUP OF SAID RECORDING YESTERDAY THAT I WANTED DAVID MITCHELL AND VICTORIA COREN TO GET MARRIED AND TODAY THE TELEGRAPH ANNOUNCES THAT THEY ARE DATING.

When you do get married, guys, I fully expect an invitation to the wedding for causing this to happen with my magical powers.

Oh, my goodness, this is the best thing.


So this entry doesn't consist solely of my being creepily excited about real people I've never met getting together (this has never happened before, but then again most celebrities aren't this freaking perfect for each other guys you don't understand), further notes on Final Fantasy XIII! I have now played up to Palumpolum (...which I have only just realised is a reference to Palom and Porom of Final Fantasy IV; I thought the name sounded familiar!), where by 'played' I mean 'watched a playthrough on YouTube on account of not possessing the required console'.


ExpandSpoilers up to and including Palumpolum; I think I'm in Chapter Seven. )


Goodness me, wouldn't it be great if Derren Brown appeared on Would I Lie to You?? Don't mind me; just abusing my powers. While I'm at it, I'd love to be serenaded by Darren Criss, although it's possible that my reality-warping abilities pertain only to matters of British comedy.

YOU GUYS. I AM NOT SURE I HAVE EVER BEEN SO THRILLED.

You remember the silly Jared-being-possessed-by-Sam fic I posted a couple of days ago? Well, [livejournal.com profile] mercuriazs asked whether she could record a podfic version of it, and I very nearly fell out of a window in delighted shock and said YES, YES, OF COURSE YOU MAY, and she did, and it is brilliant. The way she mimics Jensen's voice! The way she delivers lines! Plus she is a real live American, and I always sort of think in a British accent, so it is terribly exciting for me to hear my writing for an American fandom in the voice in which it should be heard.

The reading is about twenty-three minutes long; there are some tapping noises at the beginning, but they clear up within forty seconds. Here are the download links:
