Disclaimer: I've been up all night, I'm on the shit end of caffeine comedown, and am therefore feeling rather malicious. I'll probably... well, not disagree... with all of this later on, but at least wish I hadn't been so belligerent about it.
1. Ami fic. Specifically, Ami fic that deals with the barricades. I am so fucking sick of fanfiction authors who write with the constant implication that because they all died for a failed revolution, there was no honor in their deaths and it would've been better for all concerned if they'd just stayed home on June 5 and been good little boys and gone back to their families. They died for what they believed in and didn't regret it. Have whatever opinion on it you like, but they knew they were going to die and they had the chance to leave and stayed, and they didn't do it because they were enslaved under the spell of Enjolras' magic charisma.
2. Someone very nice sent me the OBC, thus completing my collection of English recordings. =D ...unfortunately, thus far I think it's my least favorite of the lot. Ugh. Must it be so... American? Glitzy and polished and sounding like someone really wanted to insert Fosse dance numbers into it? Okay, I have heard Red and Black and DYHTPS off this recording and I love them, but otherwise it has exactly the opposite problem of the OFC, which is quirky and unpolished and quite lovely when it's not batshit insane. I know it's trivial, but I'm sorry, Les Mis and American accents just don't mix well. *thwacks Judy Kuhn*
3. *faps self* You stupid ass. You were supposed to be doing your homework staying up all night, not listening to the OBC and reading the Saga of Christian Caron and wallowing in your own misanthropy and self-hatred. Because, yes, I am stupid and awkward and insensitive and a massive fifth wheel and... yeah. Also, not liking Saga of Christian Caron too much so far. *doesn't like interfering OCs*
4. Dearest Place of Employment: Oh no you di'int. Call me at 7 in the morning to ask me to work an 8-hour shift on no notice on a Sunday? Forgive me if I suddenly have a religion and feel duty-bound to attend church this morning. =P Well, I will be, in a sense... free organ concert this morning, you see.
5. ...I need to use the word "thwack" more often. It's somehow more satisfying than "fap."
And now, the world's shortest review of the Les Mis Original Broadway Cast evar!
Colm: Yay.
Terrance Mann: STFUplzkthx.
Randy Graff: ARGH JUST DIE ALREADY BITCH.
Michael Maguire: Damn you and the dent you put in my sexual orientation.
David Bryant: *FAP*
Judy Kuhn: *THWACK*
Frances Ruffelle: Marry me?
Chorus: ...shut up and stop being so American.
...and, just for good measure and because I'm bored, brief reviews of the other English recordings while I'm at it!
OLC
Colm: Yay.
Roger Allam: <3333
Patti LuPone: You sound too old, and yet you pull the ol' heartstrings liek whoa.
David Burt: ...your voice is too light. Meh.
Michael Ball: Awwwwww.

Frances Ruffelle: *glances up* Is polygamy legal?
Chorus: Congrats, you're my favorite chorus.
CSR
Gary Morris: *covers ears and runs for the hills*
Philip Quast: Can I have your babies?
Debbie Byrne: You sound like you're trying to be Patti LuPone. Stop it.
Anthony Warlow: *melts into a gigantic puddle of fangirl*
Michael Ball: Yep, still Awwwww.
Tracey Shayne: Bit shrill, aren't we, dear?
Kaho Shimada: I feel bad, because I'd like you if your accent didn't kill my suspension of disbelief
Chorus: My, but you sound bored.
TAC
Colm: Your eyebrows should have separate billing.
Philip Quast: *fangirlgasm*
Ruthie Henshall: I want to steal your voice and wear it in a pendant around my neck, like in The Little Mermaid.
Michael Maguire: You're not Anthony Warlow, but you're very pretty so I'll forgive you.
Michael Ball: Your squee faces are amusing, especially at inappropriate moments.
Judy Kuhn: *THWACK*
Lea Salonga: Sorry sweetheart, I do take sides in Lea vs Frances and I ain't on yours.
Chorus: Whee energy!

It's like you were spying on my sister and I when we watched it yesterday (especially about the eyebrow thing- abused the pause button a bit to much trying to get them in a "moment"). Also, I don't know if you read Harry Potter but I reckon Michael Ball is like an older more cheerful Neville. [/random]
So yeah, *friends*.

He IS. He's also a hobbit. A very tall one, but a hobbit nevertheless.
