So, one more week of holiday. Meh. I don't know, in a way I'm getting bored, but it's a GOOD bored. I mean, it's FUN to do nothing, and I've been just lounging at home, enjoying MY CAT!!! and James and everything that's going on. Life is good. I'd worry about work but I already did that bit, long before holiday was over. So maybe now it's just rest and let it all happen. It's like preparing to die, calmly and peacefully. Enjoying what you have left before the leaves start to fall.
I had a mild flu this week and have been doing mostly nothing. Today, the flu feels a bit better but I got terrible menstrual cramps that took ages to subside. Forced myself out and into a lovely restaurant, where I had a beyond-delicious vegetarian pasta. AND a milkshake. A bit of pampering is never bad, even if you're pretty broke. Every now and then, I just need to go to a restaurant. Not just Mcdonald's, even if that were cheaper. I want a nice atmosphere, people waiting on me, proper food with flavors on a big white plate, a glass to drink my Coke from. For some reason, I often opt for vegetarian food when I eat out like this, maybe because you can get beef, pork and chicken in extremely cheap forms, but good vegetarian food you have to make yourself or eat at a restaurant. (When I say fancier, I mean the whole meal cost me 20 euros. So it's not FANCY fancy, it's just ... better than what I usually eat.)
Started posting in my name blog again, in case you're interested in names: For Names' Sake. There are only two new posts. It may be slow going, but I do love names and it's a fun blog to end and re-start when I feel like it.
James Callis updates from Comic Con, at the Baltarstar blog! Sadly, it seems like he's lost some of the weight and is no longer in possession of the magnificent belly I wrote about only a few days ago. Well, I didn't have time to really get used to it so.. easy come easy go. (But it will grow back one day. I am patient.) I'm not SAD sad, but I am a little disappointed. Even if he looks great, and the way he was when I fell for him. (Bigger, still, than he was then.) It's a bit odd that this has become such a thing with James. I'm really frakked up about weight, and I've lived that for ages, but I hate when it becomes an issue in my fandom. I can't always be disappointed if he's thinner, or just not fatter, than before. And I will go nuts if I get that "ooh, he's fatter" high every time he gains an ounce. (Either his weight changes a LOT or I keep seeing things that aren't there. :P) So maybe this needs to be worked on.
...or MAYBE he knows I love him fatter and decided to lose weight as a PERSONAL INSULT and I should now proceed to make 20 posts about how I know he knows I know he reads my blog, and he knows I know he knows about his weight, and he must secretly hate fat people and me in particular and that's why everything he does is a reaction to me. And the snake of fandom eats its own tail in an endless night of doom. (If that sounded odd - I stayed up til 4 AM. That may be why.)
Seriously though, I'll try to write somewhat less about the James' Abdominal Protuberances (Or Lack Thereof) Saga. I think.
But there he was, once again in person with the regular people, which always gives me a feeling of.. worlds colliding, like he's not a TV Person but a Real Person. (I didn't know I had this division in my head, but apparently I do.) Every time, I feel like I've in some way met him, at least via other people's experiences. Live tweets from the panel, twitpics from day one. The internet is a weird thing; you can participate in an event halfway across the world, for free. It revives the fandom to see how he looks and acts TODAY, because any TV show was always shot weeks or months ago. I love making these update posts. It feels like I'm reporting from the inside, even if I'm not. I try to never take credit for others' pictures and texts but I do take credit for my own hard work in gathering them in one post.
Good news:
-He will be on Eureka for the season! Yay!
-He has been approached about Dr Who!
Waiting for more details to come in the next few days. Honestly, I'm a bit impatient to hear what he said on the panel, if he got to talk enough, and if anyone met him in person and got to talk to him and all that. He didn't do signings or photos this time, so it's not going to be as extensive as usual, but many people must have spotted him at least.
Oh, and there's a link to this in my blog post, but here's another one because I cannot believe you can take an UGLY picture of James Callis. You really can, apparently: Horsey, is that you? Honestly, he does not have big teeth but in that picture it looks like he does. I don't blame the photographer, I blame the screens at Comic Con. I've laughed and laughed over this.. I think I will laugh some more. Bwahahahaha!!!!
