Ah, that moment when you rewatch something after years and have the retroactive "IT'S THAT ACTOR!" moment. In this case, the rewatch being of the remake of St Trinians that they made and that I watched a long time back. And then rewatched again tonight and therefore had the moment where I screamed "Is that SARAH CONNOR?!" at the screen ( Read more... )

Ah, that moment when you're all "Yeah, I'm no longer fannish about this thing. It's just a thing I like, that's all. Yeah, I'm totally - HOLY SHIT IT'S A MERLIN PUZZLE BOOK! IT HAS STICKERS! OMG THAT'S MINE!They're very cool stickers. Sadly, it was made in Season 2 (I got it second hand, I love our local YMCA shop) so all the prettiest knights are ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I think the worst thing about telly is that it has to have actors in. Because the thing is, actors sometimes have to leave. Because they want to move on, because they're ill, because whatever. Which means the character has to go too and sometimes, that means you can't get the goodbye you want or the resolution you want (because if part ( Read more... )

So, the meme question of a few days ago was what makes me love a fictional character ( Read more... )

So a book I borrowed really rather randomly from the library turned out to be Surprise!Arthurian legend retelling. Which is cool in one way (I would have picked it up because of that if I'd known) but frustrating in that I deliberately wasn't reading the Arthurian legend book on my shelf because I wasn't in the mood for that level of potential ( Read more... )

So, yesterday evening, I got back from a really quick trip to London! (as in, I went down on Wednesday, came back on Thursday) I had been really wanting to see Daniel Radcliffe's play, I really wanted to see the Tempest again ... so I did, Wednesday evening for Cripple of Innishmaan and Thursday afternoon for The Tempest. And I stayed the night at ( Read more... )

Today, I attempted to paint a mountain. This did not go absolutely according to plan (aka FUCKING MOUNTAINS, I HATE THEM) I was explaining this to my mother with much crying of "MOOOOOOUNTAINS!" and shaking my fist at the sky. Whereupon Mum suggested I could paint Gollum. He never shook his fist at the sky and cursed mountains but he lived ( Read more... )

So, I am back from my trip to London! (which no, I hadn't mentioned so don't worry if you're thinking "What?") I did various things there but lets start with what everyone cares about - visiting the Globe and seeing The Tempest.

( The Tempest )

Hurrah, it's Merlin Month on the calender! I had forgotten May was Merlin Month but I was hoping it was, it seemed appropriate!

versipellis has been over to visit. It was a great visit and she didn't even object to me dragging her into DVD shops trying to find a slightly obscure boxset. (I found it! I bought it! Around the World with Willy Fogg is mine, all ( Read more... )

The other night, I dreamed that I was watching Colin Morgan in The Tempest only we were all in some random living room and my Dad was loudly doing crosswords behind me and Mum was criticising the line delivery. I woke quite annoyed with them both! They have both promised not to do this should, for some reason, we ever watch The Tempest in some ( Read more... )
