Snagged from melroseee

Leave me a comment saying "You're so beautiful, you could be a waitress" and I will respond by asking you five questions that satisfy my curiosity. Update your journal with the answers to the questions, including this in the post.

1. Favorite potc character?

Drat. You're making me choose...

I PLEAD THE FIFTH,but as a consolation prize...

Villian: Barbossa (CotBP is still my favorite.)
Minor Character Duo: Murtogg and Mullroy (They had their own character arch! Fear pirates, fight pirates, lose confidence in what they were doing, turn pirate!)
Minor Naval Officer: Groves

2. What's your favorite color?
Greeeeeen! :D

3. Best new show this season?
I think it's a tie between Glee and White Collar. Glee amazes me with it's ability to make life a musical and acid-tongued Sue's awesomeness. White Collar is simply making me enjoy USA even more with the perfectly played Detective and Bryce Larkin...erm..charming art thief.

4. What makes you happy?

My family and friends, writing, acting, singing, learning, drawing, roller coasters, silliness, pirate hats, and history.

5. What's first on your christmas list?!

The Tenth Doctor's farewell in "The Ends of Time" Two-parter

If I have to choose an actual object...I'd love a fob watch.

A Change in the Wind-Part 1

            Joshamee Gibbs’ early life was a simple enough story to tell. He’d taken to the sea the same as his father, his grandfather, and if the family’s version of history was true, his great-grandmother, Mary. He swabbed, knotted, hauled and spied St. Elmo’s blue fire atop the masts aboard many ships, and when he found himself unexpectedly a navy man he decided to stay and see if he might gain some glory.

            He married Anne who enjoyed the tales he spun. She was capable of terrifying straying thoughts out of his head no matter the number of miles between them and could hold her own during the months he was away. He worked harder when he learned she was with child.

And drank harder when he learned of their death— three months too late.

            The years passed, the ships changed, the captains changed, but he didn’t take notice until one despicable enough to loathe was questioned at the end of a pirate’s sword.

            “How do you treat your men?”

            “Well enough, they fought for me,” growled the captain. The defeated Navy crew raised their heads and stiffened stances, their silent, affronted, stares seeping with repulsion. Joshamee spoke, “We never fought for you.”

            They locked the offending former captain up in darkness. He could not distinguish day from night with his eyes, but with his ears. At night, his former crew surrounded his cell hissing, whispering, retelling, every cruelty he had caused and so he grew to dread the sunsets he could not see. The nightly whispers ceased only when they reached a pirate port called Tortuga and allowed him to stumble down the gangplank into the more merciful noises of the crowd.

            It was there the crew divided up their loot and said adieu. Some swore an oath to the Pirate Code and the pirate captain, others searched for ships bound home, and some headed towards the taverns unsure as to where else they could turn.

Joshamee Gibbs was among the latter. He chose a tavern with a sign of a woman smiling and happy holding a bouquet of flowers on her wedding day--The Faithful Bride.

Next up, Part 2 and then Norrington's turn! (I apologize to the other characters for skipping them, but I shall write for them in due course.)

Star Trek-->Moonlight-->Pirates
I found this video of a rough cut of the CBS Moonlight promos where Mick is being interviewed and one of the questions was:
What makes life worth living?
At 1:05 Mick lists Star Trek, "The Trouble with Tribbles".  Mick St. John,  Vampire and Star Trek fan!

Mick was played by Alex O'Loughlin.
In "The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant", Alex O'Loughlin was Will and Jack Davenport was Lt. Clarke.

Star Trek--> Pirates
Lee Arenberg has been on  not one, but three different Star Trek shows according to his website:
Star Trek: Voyager playing “Pelk” in “Juggernaut."
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine playing “Gral” in “Nagus, The (aka Friends and Foes)”
Star Trek: The Next Generation playing “DaiMon Bok” in “Bloodlines” and "Force of Nature."

Scrubs-->Pirates
Lee Arenberg portrays Pintel in Pirates and Dr.Moyer in Scrubs' third season opener,"My Own American Girl."
Martin Klebba was Marty in Pirates and Scrubs' Randall Winston, a custodial friend of The Janitor.






 

On Deviantart today I found an impressive painting of --count 'em--THREE famous, fictional, Captain Jacks. It's unlikely we'll ever see these three together in an actual movie/TV crossover so this just might be the next best thing. :D

On my treks through internet commenting pages (blogs, forums,"comment on this video" et cetera) I've noticed often when someone writes a well thought out, grammatically correct, full sentenced structured post leaning towards a lengthier side he or she feels the need to apologize at the end.

Most people comment with one or two sentences about something out of a combination of laziness, a struggle to find the right words to say what we mean, or lack of patience. I'd be delighted if I could write interesting, coherent responses consistently and I admire those who can.

They shouldn't be apologizing for having a brain or think that their opinion isn't worth our time. We can choose what to read and what to skip. Well thought out opinions are a pleasure to read and a relief from negative, one or two word comments of rude people that snare most people's attention simply because they were made to provoke.They do nothing more than make themselves look bad.
 
Thank you to everyone who tries to be reasonable when they respond to things and well done to those who can make their thoughts sing--no matter what the length of the post is. All of you have brains.

L.A. Without A Map,a 1998 film, starred Captain Jack Sparrow and The Tenth Doctor! David Tennant was Richard and Johnny Depp cameoed (is that a word?) as his Dead Man character, William Blake and as himself. :D

Whoooo! I've been entertaining the idea of a Pirates/Doctor Who crossover fic (my ideas keep building up, but I haven't had the time to write them out...) , but apparently these two universes have already crossed once before. :D

I'm quite pleased about this...
