*flibble*
The Metal Mickey DVD arrived :) Skip if you expect adult-level analysis, or any brain engage at all really.
1. Yes, it's still hugely bloody enjoyable; the groanworthy bits are (possibly) actually more bearable after all this time, if only because Adult!Me has a better appreciation of comedy traditions, series meta et al (writers, history of performers or whathaveyou). Either that or I just find cheesy humour less embarrassing than I used to.
2. Gary. Fucking. Shail. XD Although he's so flaming young compared to me now (he was sooooo much older at the time) the still rampant perv he compels is now oddly tinged with something one can only describe as maternal. Can't be arsed feeling too weird about that, though :) 'cos let's face it, he's sodding gorgeous. You would. Next. (Dear intarwebz: why is Steve the only character not on the DVD cover?)
ETA: Godsdammit I never noticed the freckles *thud*
3. I love Irene Handl. To bits and back again. Talk about the ideal Iris Wildthyme :)
4. Indulge me, but Ep #2 - Pete Lee-Wilson in one of his NewWave/Punky Youf roles :) godsdammit does *anything* make you feel 15 again as fast as two of your all-time pervs in the same frame?
(And on that note: if anyone knows how to get hold of that terrible old Jemimah Shore series with Patricia Hodge, I will sell any blood relative you care to name for his ep! (murders during a new wave fashion shoot - very very stoopit :) )
Only allowing myself 2 eps at a time :) Probably shouldn't be that many.
Elsewise: contacted by All-Stars fan! first one I've ever met ever. Curious about the "RESPECT" footage in the Willem-centric fanvid, as it's the only ep not on DVD. Hoped something like that would happen :) Fingers crossed; this could lead to Talking and someone to practice my (still appalling) Dutch on.
Work: got through unprogrammed week (room leader away: bereavement) quite well; only 2ic but ran everything I could on ad hoc/emergent theme basis which I'm coming to realise is pretty much the way I prefer to work :) Craft-heavy. Lots and lots and lots of messy gunky ooey-gooey splat-the-hell-outta-it-and-make-obnoxious-noises play, YES. There is no such thing as scribble.
Think I've got what hubby had, dammit. Better be able to go into town tomorrow; my little (!) sister turns 35 next week, and it's full-on NER time.
Quest for WAKK blue resumes :)
