Last working day of the year, yes! Now if only I hadn't generated work for myself before I left office. (Now to seeing how long I can ignore the Blackberry for).

I've started reading my way through everything in the Vorkosigan fandom that I haven't read, starting with all the Ezar era fics (research, albeit extremely enjoyable research!) And wow. Dark overload.

(And why am I so tired.)

YOU HAVE EARNED A LOT OF SLEEP

[crisis_control]

I've gotten a lot of sleep :D But I might be falling sick, ew ew ew.

For some reason, Ezar doesn't seem to lend himself well to fluff. Although there is the rare crackfic.

...want some of the Ezar audio from the Russian rock opera about Serg?

[crisis_control]

Ezar and fluff - is probably like oil and water. Or lithium and water.

There's a ... Russian rock opera... about Serg...? And sure!

[tel]

Of course there's a Russian rock opera about Serg! :D

Depending on how you count, you might even say two of them.

It Is Regrettable to Know (Ezar, Illyan responding)
The Living and The Dead(Yuri, Ezar responding)
The Death of Grishnov (Grishnov, Ezar comes in at the end)
The Last Gift (Ezar solo)

This is all hosted at lavka.lib.ru/bujold/, where the libretto of the recorded version also lives.

Thank you! Ezar and Illyan sound exactly like how I imagined. It's all very fascinating. And I'm half tempted to pick up Russian now (famous last words - how hard can it be?)

[tel]

Hilariously, on the recording -they're voiced by the same guy-. Who also does Yuri, Serg, Serg's grandson, the Council of Counts, random bystanders, and the guy Serg kills at a party.

... Wow. Someone is seriously talented.

ahahaha I'm seriously stupid some times ... it's what happens when I have both DW and LJ open at the same time ... (comment originally posted at the LJ mirror)

YOU! Have a good long weekend you! And if it were up to me I'd hide your blackberry! ^__^

*HUGS* - Have a good start to the year dear, it sounds like you're making good head way there with fandom.

Loves you lots!
