what was that I don't even

[jmtorres]

I would clearly be more interesting if I didn't sleep in like, eighteen hour stretches.

(Oh, fine. I only actually slept about eight hours from when I passed out last night, but I totally slept seventeen hours the night/morning/afternoon/evening before to get me out of whack so that I'm only remembering to turn my phone back on at three in the afternoon after killing it outright when the alarm went off at nine at the morning.)

I think I've read all the Killjoys fic I can (I want to read fic about the Killjoys not about My Chemical Romance, and at this point I am a little hmmph at the usage of "Grace" instead of "Sunshine," and I realize the primary Killjoys fandom is bandom and I'm a lonely grinch out here and such is life), which is sad, because my brain doesn't want to cycle off it that fast.

I am toying with shooting a Killjoys short. I mean, we have desert and hilarious shades of hair (my streak is lime green at the moment, and niqaeli doesn't see how her checkerboard bun is that interesting but she talks about dyeing it turquoise), we could totally be a chick band/gang of the Danger Days 'verse. echan, would you be up for driving out all the way from Battery City on your totally appropriately decorated motorcycle to participate in a weekend shoot if I get something organized? And like, written? (Because surrealism is all well and good but frankly it can't be as randomly spontaneous as it looks to get done on a shooting schedule.)

My Wicked Witch of the East stockings would have to make an appearance. I'm trying to figure out what I would wear with them to show them off because most of my skirts would be impractical for kicking ass.

Part of me thinks it would be hilariously awesome to write and record an original song pastiching (it's verbable if I say so, spell check, take the fucking gerund) the Danger Days style (for one thing, it would make it totally original work, not original video to a borrowed song, and, among other things, that would make it useable for portfolio as vids are not--echan, I have also been having that problem lately). Part of me recognizes that while I have experience with film production, I don't actually have any experience with song-writing or producing. Which: goddamnit, but it's a neat idea. Does anyone want to chime in and be a co-conspirator?

PS echan EVEN ASIDE FROM MY HILARIOUS FANNISH DORKERY YOU SHOULD CALL ME BACK ILU

Nnng. I can't decide if I'm being ridiculous in a doable way or in a unsupportable way. I priced HD camera rentals for a weekend and also looked into the local Ikea's last chance deals for white, simple line furniture to stand in for BL/ind's that we could realistically smash. And I don't even... this concept is barely a concept right now, I have so far talked to ONE person who would be on cast and maybe crew, and I don't even know if I should be storyboarding for a song off the album or thinking about original stuff.

Is her name officially Sunshine? I just had someone on my flist asking yesterday if she had an official name, since everyone seems to be using her real name.

I've processed so much media in the last twenty-four hours I'm having a hard time pinning down the source. Sorry, did a quick check and can't find it. (I think part of the problem for people using her real name is "Grace" is sufficiently nounformic to not necessarily register as a real name.)

In the intro vids on youtube to the characters, the little girl is only listed as "Girl" while the others have names like "Party Poison"; her slogan is "Look Alive Sunshine".

I may have spent a bit too much time in the California 2019 section of YouTube....

Well, if you want to go with original music, well, I am not brilliant and I never got far with the guitar, but I *could* write a melody. I suspect elfling might be able to help with getting suitable chords to go with (if she can't do it, she might know who we could ask). Lyrics are... not something I've ever done much with? So I dunno. (I set a poem of mine to music years ago... that's about as far as I've ever gotten with lyrics.)

Strangely I feel as if I could probably handle lyrics to a "blow up the world" song. Just sayin'.

Still leaves the music production end of it in the wild, though.
