I had a fantastic time going to see Neko Case on Wednesday evening. This is the 3rd time I've seen her. I went with [twitter.com profile] trinity_clare who was a good sport.

My new favorite song of Neko's is "Calling Cards".

These icons chosen by [personal profile] thingswithwings! Leave a comment telling me your favorite fruit and I will choose 5 of your icons.



A monster muppet on the phone, with mouth wide open. This icon makes me laugh and laugh. Is the moster surprised? Is he freaked out? Does he just normally talk with his eyes and mouth wide open, in the way of muppets? So much emotion can be conveyed or interpreted with so little information. I think it's from the [livejournal.com profile] iconomicon.



A picture of Gaeta from Battlestar: Galactica, blue-lit, serious expression.

Unfortunately for me, one of my favorite characters from BSG was Gaeta. I love how this icon looks like a photograph that's been folded and worn, like maybe someone carried it around in their wallet; but it also has that blue-lit intensity, that sadness of the show. Made by lunar47.



Leelu from The Fifth Element, holding up her Multipass Card.

I've always loved this movie, except for the ending (hetero love solves everything! whee!), and I love this icon. The Moooooltipass can be used for everything! It makes me laugh. Plus Leelu is such a badass. It's simply a solid, entertaining SF movie that's pretty to look at and is set in an interesting world. I'll watch it any time. Another Iconomicon icon.




Neko Case sitting in a pickup truck, looking into the distance. The purveyor of the Iconomicon made this from an image I found (he's a buddy of mine).

Neko, also known as my future ex-wife, sings alt-country music that is full of longing and loneliness and it makes me, you know, actually feel something when I listen to it. She also has songs with a queer vibe to them-- "Not the man you think I am / My love has never lived... indoors..." She also tweets about her dogs, fixes old trucks, and is generally a lesbian magnet. ANYWAYS.



Aldis Hodge, who plays Hardison on Leverage, wearing sunglasses and looking like a BAMF. I made this icon from some promotional picture I found.

I call this "Aldis Hodge in the Matrix." I would like a crossover/fusion where the Leverage team at least gets to wear the black leather, sunglasses, and boots, y/y? Hodge has a great sense of style; every time I see him I think this!

This Chain of Days by beccatoria, Star Wars, set to the Neko Case song "At Last". About Shmi, Padme, and Leia. Short, but filled with a lot of emotion.

A Widow's Toast by chaila43, BSG, set to the Neko Case song of the same name. About Kara and grief.

I have been waiting for Neko Case music to be vidded! I am so happy to see these! Her music is so lyrical and haunting (but there are some upbeat numbers too), check it out if you aren't familiar.

I wish I was James Bond by [personal profile] kuwdora, ST: DS9. A super happy vid about Julian Bashir in all his adorable, awkward, dapper incarnations through DS9's run. I really identified with Julian when I was a geeky teenager, and it is wonderful to see a whole vid about him!

Harry Potter 7.1 Deathly Hallows )

I also watched The Boondock Saints today and liked it, very over-the-top story about vigilante justice in Boston-- guns, mafia, violence, a strange sort of humor. It reminded me of a modern-day Western.
