New *NSYNC song on the 29th? For the first time in over 20 years?

I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S FOR THE NEW TROLLS MOVIE IN NOVEMBER GIVE IT TO ME NOWWWWW.

Like. I cannot even with any of this announcement.

Please reunion tour please?
dizmo: (dw: wheeee ahhhhhh)
So I went ahead and bit a bullet a couple days ago. I ordered an upgraded phone.

I'm an iPhone user and I tend to skip a few generations at a time as I've never really been the type to Always Need The New Hotness when it comes to stuff like this. Phones last a while, after all.

I currently have an iPhone 11, and the only reason I got that one was because the 7 I had before ended up being, back in 2019, the first phone I actually damaged when I realized I didn't know where I'd put it, went around looking for it, came back to my desk to double check if I had just stuck it in a strange corner I don't normally use, sat... and heard a crunch. It had somehow fallen and ended up under a leg of my desk chair. Ooops.

So the 14 lineup was revealed and I was intrigued but dithered a bit. Then I realized that I should probably upgrade when the trade-in value for my current phone's still decent enough, so I pulled the trigger. Of course, the one I wanted (14 Pro, 256gig)... was not currently available at any Apple Store in town and I wasn't desperate enough to drive to California for pickup. :P Therefore, I've got an order placed and it'll be arriving near the end of the month. So hey, something to look forward to!

Speaking of upgrades, no way I could fit this story into 280 characters. Suck it, Elon.

So I got a cursed cursed thought and I have no idea why, but I had to record it, and I didn't wanna do it on twitter because people might, idk, search things.

And it's so weirdly niche as it sits at the heretofore nonexistent intersection between High School Musical and... A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones.

Anyway.

I warn you, it's cursed. )
dizmo: (dw: wheeee ahhhhhh)
Diz Does Yuletide: Part 17!

Here we go again!

Before we get down to the meat of the letter, some admin. First, if you're not my assigned author and wandering by and wondering, I do have gifts enabled on the AO3 and am happy to receive treats.

Second, my requested fandoms this year are as follows:
* When you see a lore video for a franchise you know nothing about (Web Video)
* Can I Get There By Candlelight? - Jean Slaughter Doty
* Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) - Looking Glass (Song)

Super excited for all of this. Yay, Yuletide! And now onto some optional details (which are optional).

I mean, it's always going to be few and far between, but I'm always gonna be hovering around DW anyway, whether it's just hovering around my reading page or, posting Yuletide letters in the fall, or, y'know, moderating [community profile] intoabar. (Signups opened today if you're in the urge to create a randomly generated crossover!)

I did like doing my live reactions to What If a few months back. I knew odds of my doing the same with Hawkeye were slim to none just because I knew I'd be way too engrossed to actually stop and type (which I was, so fabulous), but I wish I'd been doing my blathering along to Moon Knight and it seems a little late now with just one episode to go (and it's a super compelling show, A++ will watch again).

Fingers crossed that, come Ms. Marvel's release, I remember again. It's a fun exercise and MUCH easier to reference back to than twitter. :P

Don't have anything terribly much to say. I was just already here so I was like MIGHT AS WELL POST.

So posted I have!

Another episode and TIME FOR SOME COULSON.

Although the title is worrisome.

Liked how it went the first time so on to the next.

My blathering as I was watching...

What If... T'Challa Became a Star-Lord? )
dizmo: (dw: wheeee ahhhhhh)
(Hello my DW, haven't seen you in a while.)

So I was contemplating the trickiness of livetweeting with asynchronous streaming shows like on D+ and not, you know, spoiling people.

So I was mulling it over and decided to 'livetweet' in a text file and pop it over here for fun and not-at-all-profit! (So don't expect anything particularly in depth, this is gonna be basically what I'd be blathering into twitter while watching, with possibly a few SLIGHTLY more coherent thoughts at the end.)

And my first experiment...
