Bloody rain

2014-03-01T02:51:11Z

We have had eighteen hours of continuous rain here in San Jose. I really fancy the rain, but not when it comes down all at once like this. More rain has fallen in these past three days compared to the last thirteen months combined. Usually January and February we receive lots of rain, but this year, the news said we've only had 2.65" of rain.

There have been flooding in the Bay area, including mudslides, trees down, and roofs have caved in. Two chaps and two dogs got themselves trapped I reckon in Los Angeles, when mud and water moved really fast suddenly, but they were saved.

The worst has yet to come because we are supposed to be gettin' the heaviest amount of rain for the next 24-36 hours.

Whoah. Last week was full of such delicious reveals and surprises. Thomas took me on a small cruise out on the Pacific Ocean featuring live music and fantastic food for Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day reminds me of Shakespeare - sex and love. We danced till the sun came down.

A friend sent me a link to Ellen Page's very moving and brave coming-out video at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation “Time to Thrive” conference in Las Vegas I'm positive you lot have seen or in the very least, heard 'bout by now. I was moved to tears. If you haven't heard it, here's a link: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2014/02/ellen-page-gives-emotional-coming-out-speech-in-front-of-hundreds/

But that wasn't the end of it all! Naughty Dog also finally released their dlc of their single player content featuring Ellie and Riley from The Last Of Us!!!!!!! @#$$%^%&*#$%@#$)@(#$)@#*%)@#%@

Let me tell you lot why the timing of the two completely different events was almost too perfect.

Ellen Page was originally cast to play Ellie in The Last Of Us, before the role would be eventually given to actress Ashley Johnson. That's why Ellie's resemblance bloody looks so much like Ellen, and it is why she was gutted by Naughty Dog's inability to model Ellie differently after she chose to do voice work for another Sony game, Beyond Two Souls.

The significance? Without giving any spoilers away, I had been dreading this dlc because I feared I was going to cause a paradox in my story, and that's honestly why I haven't posted the next chapter. But to my delight and surprise, after adding into the story that Ellie is gay in order to create the Joel/Ellie pairing ((after also aging Ellie significantly and changing her to a him))...@$#@#%@^$*&$^&#^#$$@#$@&%^ it's CANON!!!!!!!!

@#$@@^&**%&(%^&$^(@()@)#&)@%)!)#)!*$)!#$)@%$)*@

It makes the ending of the story even more poignant now and even more controversial.

A Few Photographs of New Zealand

2014-01-02T22:53:27Z

Hildi asked me to post some photographs from my trip with Thomas, Phebe and Evelina to New Zealand. So, here I'm giving it a go. I reckon it may take me a few days to figure out which ones to share, but I think you lot will rather enjoy these.

Getting to Auckland was rather tricky. First, after boarding the plane in Los Angeles, we had to change flights in Sydney, Australia to take a quick detour into Wellington, before arriving at our final destination.

Evelina was particularly tickled by this fantastic display of Gandalf on top of the Eagles at the Wellington airport! :D:D:D

Elijah Wood Voices Main Character of Broken Age, and more artwork by Thomas

2013-12-08T14:55:10Z

Naughty Dog, Inc. and their game The Last Of Us took home three wins for Best PlayStation Game, Best Character Performance: Naughty Dog - for Joel (Troy Baker) and Ellie (Ashley Johnson), and Studio Of The Year.

Thomas made this for me for my next chapter! :D:D:D

( Elijah and Riley at Disney )

Also announced last night was a new project for Elijah!

Tim Schafer confirmed during the VGX awards last night that Elijah Wood is voicing Shay, the main young male character, in Double Fine's upcoming adventure game, Broken Age.

Wood, best known for his role as Frodo Baggins of the Lord of the Rings films, joins Jack Black and Wil Wheaton as a member of the game's voice cast. Wheaton, famous for his performance as Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation, voices Curtis the Lumberjack. Jack Black, who acted in Brutal Legend, will fill the role of Lightbeard.

Formerly known as Double Fine Adventure, Broken Age was one of the industry’s first Kickstarter success stories, earning over $3.3 million from backers in early 2012. Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure game about a young boy and girl, both fourteen years old, each trying to break free from the tradition that dominates their lives.

A fantastic video featuring Elijah can be found at Spike's website - http://www.spike.com/video-collections/vkkbf3/vgx-vgx-2013-world-premieres/u2e4fw

Happy Thanksgiving

2013-11-28T14:36:16Z

Just stepping out of the vortex of lurker mode to say Happy Thanksgiving to all you lot.

We are having Thanksgiving tea later this evening. My entire bloody family flew in from various parts of the United States earlier this week, and we are having a fantastic time.

For Christmas, Thomas and I are flying to New Zealand to spend time with Thomas's family. We can't wait, though our daughters I reckon are more excited this time than we are :D:D:D

Personal Service Announcement.

My youngest daughter, Phebe, had to have unexpected surgery. We have been battling strep throat off and on for several years. It seems every year 'round this time, she comes down with strep. After coming down ill again, doctors decided her tonsils had to come out. My sister Ruby flew in from New Hampshire to help assist. Thomas is a Furloughed Federal Employee so it is a full house right now and money is tight. I apologise for not being online or commenting. My Internet time is very limited right now. I shall return when I can. I still have many stories yet to finish and post. I just thought I'd post in case anyone was concerned.

Some Brilliant Sean and Elijah Art Pieces Made By Thomas

2013-09-24T16:35:19Z

This month has been extremely busy for me. I am finishing conducting a classical series in California featuring music from one of of my favourite composers, Johannes Brahms. I am also working on a new live recording of my album from my first play that originally debuted in New Hampshire, my home state. Blimey! It is a lot of work, but it is incredible.

Right. Back to the point of this post. ink_gypsy's suggested on a previous post I may find many new icons for my personal journal at a couple icon communities on LiveJournal. However, sadly, she was correct in her statement when there was no Sean and Elijah icons out there that I could fancy. So, I set to find an image to create an icon with. The basic icon feature on DW is 'bout all I can do.

And I reckon I found the most brilliant image of Sean from this weekend at the Columbus Comic Con. :):):)

Music Video #1 - Safe and Sound - The Last Of Us

2013-08-31T13:13:45Z

Well, this is bloody fun! I am now in the process of making a video featuring Frodo and Sam using the same song, Safe and Sound by Capital Cities, but this inspired me first. This video features some of the characters from the video game Last Of Us - Tess, Bill, and specifically, Joel and Ellie, which you lot would know as Sean and Elijah if you're reading my fic :D:D:D. This is a wee bit of satire as you lot know their story is not exactly 'safe and sound'.

You lot will be able to recognise some of the scenes I have included from my story in the video, including the sound effect I used in the previous video Thomas and I made featuring all the characters from The Last Of Us for Elijah's regeneration. I reckon it's safe to watch without it ruining anything.

What are you suggesting? Kidnap PJ? Put him in a crate and ship him to the UK?

2013-08-24T03:22:15Z

The idea of Peter Jackson filming an episode of Doctor Who has been going 'round since May, but this article show up on one of Thomas's favourite New Zealand websites and is a hoot. Moffat's response to the interviewer is just brilliant, absobloodylutely brilliant. Well played, Moffat! Well played! The idea of J.K. Rowling penning a novel for the 50th anniversary is fascinating. What marvellous talent she would bring to 'em lot. :):):)

A Last Of Us Character/Actor Video with Sean and Elijah

2013-08-06T17:05:50Z

Thomas and I worked together on creating another project last weekend along the lines of bringing the Last of Us fic to life. There are rumours going 'round there may be a Last of Us movie, and course I know who I would want to see in the lead roles :D:D:D.

With Thomas's help, I created a video using photographs, and small quotes said by the actors from the game. Even Sean and Elijah help lent their voices. I intend on using each of those quotes said by the characters in the video in my story. The song in the background is the theme from the game called The Last Of Us by Gustavo Santaolalla. I created the sound pieces in MixPad, and Thomas did the rest. I am chuffed with how it turned out. It's a medium sized file because Thomas rendered the video in 720p.

Video can be downloaded here

Would you know BBC did an informational program called Planet Earth (I reckon a few years ago it aired in the US) wheres they talked about the same bloody fungi that inspired the killer fungi of The Last Of Us. Turns out...this killer fungi actually does exists in our world. And...it is remarkable how similar it is to the fungi in the fic/game, except, this fungi isn't capable of infecting humans...yet, anyway. Blimey! The photos I have found on bing are frightening, yet definitely helped my understanding why Elijah specifically is immune.

Oh, bloody hell, enough of me blubbering about it. You lot can have a look yerselves here and here.

Check out this bloody awesome short fan film production

2013-07-28T00:53:12Z

This is bloody fantastic! Just marvellous! I discovered this gem through a Yahoo alert.

Them lot at Iron Horse Cinema Productions created a fan film based on the acclaimed video game The Last of Us.

There are some very impressive shots. Good makeup, good locations, and the art direction all 'round matches the game excellently. And if you're following my fic, just substitute Sean and Elijah for Joel and Ellie :):):)

Whee! I just surpassed 30,000 in my Sean/Elijah Last Of Us fic. I am so chuffed! I reckon this is the most words I have ever written before in my writing career. Absobloodylootly, true! :D:D:D In fact, if this thing's to go 35 chapters, and it will no doubt 'bout that, that will mean I will have written 'round 80,000. Blimey!
