media woes

Freaking WinMedia player. I'm trying to fix the fact that in the whole wiping of the hard-drive about a year ago, I accidentally lost a few of my computer files (backed-up from my rather expensive 2-disc set) of the 10th anniversary cast of Les Miserables... and what does it do? It gets the freaking track names wrong!!! I thought I was losing my flipping mind until I realized what'd gone wrong!

The main songs I was upset about missing were "On My Own" and "A Little Fall of Rain" (Yes, I'm a sap-whore - I love Lea Solonga's voice, and I love the character of Eponine. I could pretty much not care less about Cosette. But Eponine... oh, her I love. ♥), and "One Day More." Which was actually the first one I noticed missing, 'cause it's one of my all-time favorite songs from the show. But those first two are tracks 3 and 6 on Disc 2 of this set. So says the insert. And the insert, in cases like this, is pretty much God.

But when I rip the needed tracks off Disc 2, I end up with track 04 being listed as Building the Barricade/On My Own, and track 07 being listed as A Little Fall of Rain. I figured this wasn't a big deal... til I played them and found that no, those were not the songs I was looking for. Sure enough, I back-tracked and discovered that what WinMedia oh-so-helpfully titled as "Javert's Arrival/Little People" is, in fact, "A Little Fall of Rain."

Now that I've got it figured out, it's really not that big a deal. But before I realized what was happening, I was soooo horribly confused. And now I have the tedious task of retitling all the songs that I had to recopy, too. Grrr.

icons!

A few more icons for folks - I had hoped I'd have more before I posted a batch, but it seems like I can really only manage a rate of an icon a night, usually. :P So, best to get these out before folks figure I've forgotten them. ;)

( Icons! )

These are all with major gratitude to pstogimpbrushes, Unmasked_icons, and Sanami276 for brushes. At some point I'll do a formal Resource post, but for now I happily just list for all my icons. As always, feel free to snag with credit, and if you have specific requests let me know and I'll see what I can do with them!

fandom wank strikes again

Oh, fandom.

The probably-by-now-infamous story of the moron who thought she could self-publish Star Wars fic and sell it on the internet. On Amazon. And Barnes and Noble. The crazy... it's painful, really.

Her website looks to've been taken offline, and the book's supposedly been removed from Amazon... but someone already informed Lucasfilms, and the copyright protection process is probably already moving.

So... bets on possible repercussions for the fandom world in general?
