I watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame last night - *not* the Disney version, though, an old 1982 movie version, with Derek Jacobi as Dom Claude, David Suchet as the King of Thieves (after seeing him as Poiret on TV every Sunday, seeing him suddenly as a strapping gypsy was a bit of a shock!), and Anthony Hopkins was Quasi'. It was a bit dated, and ( Read more... )

You know what I was doing until nearly 1am last night? No, not writing one of my many fanfics, nor studying the questions I might get asked about car maintenance before my driving test this Friday... I was listening to diferent language dubs of Disney songs on YouTube. Sad, isn't it? The songs in question mainly consisted of "Hellfire" (or rather " ( Read more... )

It's gone midnight so it's too late for me to post a proper entry. I'm obviously back from France, which I'll talk about tomorrow, but I enjoyed it a lot. I might have to take Remus back to Holland (on my own!) either tomorrow or Thursday, though, because a major kennel would like to use him at stud - ASAP! (Their bitch is in season now ( Read more... )

It's 2007 and I've got websites to update and stuff to do, like usual, but you know what's on my mind? The extent of fandoms I've goen through and added to my list during 2006. And with those fandoms came friends, too ( Read more... )

Did anyone else watch the new version of "Jane Eyre" on the Beeb last night? It's only by chance that I found out that it was on, but I'm glad I caught it. It's pretty good so far and is full of meaningful visuals. Mr. Rochester's played wel, though he doesn't quite beat William Hurt's Rochester, who's still my fave, but I look forward to seeing ( Read more... )

Eeep, LJ's changed again! I think the top-bar looks better but it throws me off when they do this - and they seem to be doing it alot recently. XD Ah well.

Anyways, I have finished Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Dame, and I give it two thumbs up. ( Read more... )

Y'know, once I survived those excruciatingly-difficult-to-read chapters about the view of Paris from atop the Notre-Dame cathedral, I've been zipping through Victor Hugo's Hunchback of Notre Damelike I don't know what! I'm indebted to the notes section at times, because Hugo does make references to people, myths and places I'm not overly familiar ( Read more... )

Oh my GAWD! They're remaking the Biker Mice from Mars cartoon! Couldn't they have re-released the original series on DVD first before they re-hashed the classic...? Meh. If they mess with Modo in this new version, they'll be sorry! I loved Modo. I've still got his action figure in a box under my bed somewhere, where he lives with the four original ( Read more... )

darkkelsk rang me at midnight last night. It was a good job I'd just got home from work so was pretty well awake, isn't it? ^_^ Granted, he's in the Australia time zone and I'm in the UK one, which is about 9 hours difference, and I haven't heard from him in *ages*, so time's no object, and he's one of my best friends who I've known since I was a wee, ickle ( Read more... )

I can quite confidently say that "Choices - Part 7" shall be ready for beta reading soon. Seriously. I gave it another read-through Monday night and realised it worked a lot better if I took this huge chunk out (which will have to be re-modelled and put back in later on, but which was kinda irrelevant at the time). So, yes, there shall soon be an ( Read more... )
