It's already the third week of January, but happy new year, etc. *g*. I don't really make resolutions, but I did think it might be nice to spend more time writing ANYTHING, and a journal entry is better than nothing. Surely once every couple of weeks isn't too much to ask ( Read more... )

Hi! I was going to tell you the course of all my woes, but let's face it, I don't want to do that, and you don't want to hear it :) So let's chat about the fun stuff I've been seeing instead.

Absolutely Fabulous

I grew up with this show, and still enjoy inflicting "sweetie darling" on people. I have no interest in fashion whatsoever, but Eddie ( Read more... )

Just popping to say hi - where has the time gone? I haven't even been seeing that much, but here's what I have been:

* Saw Pennsylvania Avenue at the Opera House starring Bernadette Robinson. I've been a casual fan of hers for a long time - she's an Australian cabaret-style singer who has a knack for accents and impersonations, which I enjoy very ( Read more... )

Another academic year, another quasi-fandom hiatus. Doing another degree sounded like a good idea at the time, and it's been well worth it, but I'm just about ready to be done. Cross fingers *g*

However I am still apparently compelled to keep track of my media consumption online, so, in brief:

- Saw The Pride (Darlnghurst Theatre Company) last ( Read more... )

Saw the screening of The Winter's Tale last week, with Kenneth Branagh as Leontes and Judi Dench as Paulina. Much as I was keen to see Branagh (and to a lesser extent Dench), I was this close to not wanting to do it because I wasn't sure I could bear another three-hour experience (it was actually listed as 210 minutes, so there might have been a ( Read more... )

See, I realise Danny is the star of London Spy, but my heart belongs to Alex - I have a personal weakness for the type, and the "soul mates" conversation was some of the most perfect writing I've ever seen. I'm not sure whether I've posted this before, but if you need a pick-me-up after all that angst, I feel quite certain that Alex would approve ( Read more... )

London Spy. If you're not watching it, you should be. It's a five-part mini-series from the BBC (who else). Now, I am not the slightest bit interested in spies (yawn), or Ben Whishaw for that matter - the only reason I was even mildly interested to begin with is that Mark Gatiss is in it, only he hasn't shown up yet. BUT THIS SHOW, GUYS. It's a ( Read more... )

That feeling when my compulsive need to document my theatre- and movie-going conflicts with my motivation to do so... but here I am *g*

Saw Jurassic World, which I regret to say I really enjoyed. I mean, it had gorgeous dinosaurs (seriously, I loved them), a theme park, and things going horribly wrong, meaning a lot of tense action sequences that ( Read more... )

Not related to this post, but I'm happy that H50 is back. I love how they had to spend the first five minutes laying out the fact that Steve and Danny are... essentially married. Oh, boys.

Okay, so I started watching Keen Eddie as part of my quest to work out how much I actually liked Julian Rhind-Tutt (A Touch of Cloth), or whether it was ( Read more... )

I kind of feel like I'm doing this in entirely the wrong order - I've already watched all the episodes, squeed extensively on tumblr, and written fic, but somehow my fannishness is incompletely expressed until I've done a long-ass post about it on livejournal. So, let me ramble on a bit about A Touch of Cloth. It's a British comedy that has run for ( Read more... )
