Star Wars request and BSB files

[erilyn]

I'd love Return of the Sith-related story recs, if anyone has some? AUs or following canon are both welcome, especially Obi-Wan-centric stories. Actually, it's been yonks since I've read Phantom Menace stuff, so recs for any Star Wars stories (either trilogy) would be good :)

Also, are any of the novels set between Attack of the Clone and ROTS worth reading?

What's Your Relaxation? I was tagged by deliberatehips. Things you enjoy, even when no one around you wants to go out and play. What lowers your stress/blood pressure/anxiety level? Make a list, post it to your journal... and then tag 5 friends and ask them to post it to theirs.

1. Cook something sweet (cake, biscuits, that kind of thing), with music cranked up, so I'm dancing around the kitchen. Haven't done this in a while, no time, and I've cut back on eating that sort of thing.
2. Curl up in bed and read some good fanfic. Hell, read anything good.
3. Swim - there really is nothing like the feeling of water surrounding you, whether in a pool or the ocean.
4. Watch Dr Who, Pirates of Penzance and Stargate: Atlantis (aka last night *g*).
5. Watching a concert (or something where I don't have to follow too closely) while on the exercise bike, I can just pedal and zone (I did 23km this afternoon while watching the Pop Odyssey dvd, haven't watched it in ages, and it was a great incentive - I was about to stop but "Game is Over" was starting, so I had to keep going for a couple of minutes).

I never know who to tag for things like this, so I'm gonna skip that part (I'm such a meme rebel *g*). Tell me/post about your favourite ways to relax if you want to :)

I've read snippets from the novelisation of RotS, and maaaan I want to read it bad. In fact, I shall order it right now.

As far as rec's go, I really don't have any for RotS, but thought this: http://darthside.blogspot.com/ was a damn good read.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Ooh yes, I want to read the novelisation too! And I'll check that out, thanks :)

[meelie.livejournal.com]

I rec for you: Salvage by Mary. Is awesome.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It is indeed of the awesome, though she needs to write moremoremore!

[ravensilverwing.livejournal.com]

That's kinda weird/scary...things I do to relax pretty much include cooking even if I don't eat it, reading anything, watching concerts in the background so I don't have to really watch/think and swimming...but failing to swim walking or hiking will suffice and my fave tv show to chill out to at the moment...Stargate...but the original...keep missing the new one...may have something to do with the face I don't watch TV...yeah...that could be it...

And and and...just to freak myself right out whilst reading this post...I only got online tonight to search for Obi-Wan fic...

Will be dling the aol thing...thanks! *tips hat*

Heee, we should do a poll, see how many other slashers agree ;)

[stargems.livejournal.com]

Oh dear God in heaven those People pictures are adorable. I LOVE their families, their interaction and their boyish tendencies, lol.

As for relaxing, I'd say your techniques are pretty similar to mine. Reading, dancing, LJ, procrastination, lol. Well, everything except for the exercise part, though I do looove swimming and I haven't been in AGES. *weeps*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

The exercise part isn't always, but I've been pretty good the last two months (lost about 5 pounds, I've been eating better too). I wanted to be a little fitter for my trip (and have a buffer against the inevitable weight gain when travelling and eating whatever *g*).

I love that we have a pretty good picture of the boys on the waterslide - Nick and AJ squeezed in the same seat, with Nick covering his eyes, Howie's deathgrip on the side of the cart, Brian's glee :)

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Downloaded the files. Thank you SO for doing these!

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

pppsssst...

Nick??? rad!??!?!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Ha, I haven't seen that bit yet, haven't had a chance to watch all the stuff I've posted, must do that later :)

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

It's cute. They're goofing and yeah. Cute. *sigh* Gawd I've missed them!

[turlough]

Watching some of the 'fluffier' Dr Who episodes is one of my way of relaxing too. You don't have to think, can just relax and go with the (occasionally rather strange) flow :-)

PS Thank you for the footage!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I loved Dr Who when I was younger, haven't seen much of it recently, until we got into the new eps. I'm so glad the new series is so much fun.

Downloading Girl is back! ;)

Had to grab the CD:UK clips since trumpeterofdoom was there!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I haven't spotted her yet, I need to rewatch and focus on the crowd *g*.

[kamikazelover.livejournal.com]

Downloading CD:UK and BSB AOL Sessions Behind the Scenes. Thank you for sharing these.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

My pleasure, everyone needs to see the Boys! :)

[marrymehowie.livejournal.com]

I took some of these files, and I totally agree with #1, 2, and 5. :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

My legs are a bit tired today from #5, I don't normally do that far :)

[lucybass.livejournal.com]

OK, I know I have to get the Teen People magazine but I didn't realize they were in People magazine too! Is it the same or different? I am so confused *sigh*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure, as most of these mags won't be available as imports here for a while. Scans for People (I think) are .

[lucybass.livejournal.com]

I think they are in both. I will find out tomorrow at work when I put People magazine out. Thanks :)

[trickyjazzer.livejournal.com]

Once again...I snatched the files. Thank you for always giving me and the many others a one stop place. :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I'm just sorry I won't be around for some of the promo :)

[trumpeterofdoom.livejournal.com]

I've just gone through your posts and downloaded just about everything you've posted since Thursday. I reckon I can see my hand in some shots in the CDUK clips. :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Heee, make screencaps of the bits that show your hand and post them! :)

[trickyjazzer.livejournal.com]

I'ce finally gotten to watch the clips and who do I have to pay to get the AOL sessions versions of I Still, Weird World and Climbing The Walls? Because guh! lol

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

The AOL Sessions aren't even supposed to be up til June 10th, so hopefully there'll be more then :)

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all this :-) .

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

My pleasure :)
