Watching: still with the Dirk. Last night was I Could Go On Singing which totally devastated me to the point of rewriting the end in my head and having to watch clips of The Pirate on YouTube to make myself feel better. Damn you, Dirk, why must you always hurt me?! Why can't you ever make a love story that DOESN'T hurt?!

Also, it made me realise I ( Read more... )

So I'm reading Dirk's authorised biography at the moment as well as his letters as well as his first memoir. He was such a prodigious communicator, so much detailed of his life and words. And the thought keeps touching me that I haven't been journalising at all, not in my own paper journal I mean where all the messiness comes out. No wonder I feel ( Read more... )

So I finally ordered The Search from Oldies.com late last year along with Waterloo Bridge --- the Vivien Leigh version --- for the Aunt and Leave Her To Heaven to watch with shaula82. And day before yesterday I finally got around to watching it.

Such an interesting little movie. ( ... happy in our make believe ... )

So just back from seeing Love Never Dies at the Capitol.

( ... totally spoilery, don't even ... )

Or so it would seem from the plethora of retweets. Seriously contemplating unfollowing him until the next album comes out. Problem is then I may not know ( Read more... )

I'm running a test to see who's reading my posts (well, not really-just cut and pasted this, but carry on). So, if you read this, leave me a one-word comment about your day that starts with the third letter of your LJ USERNAME. Only one word please. Then repost so I can leave a word for you. Don't just post a word and not copy - that ( Read more... )

So last night shaula82 and I saw Active Child at the Oxford Art Factory. Aside from the fact that they didn't play Wilderness, it was everything I could have hoped for.

( ... you'll make it through ... )

For what it's worth ...

( ... post script ... )

Ha. I just realised there's not a single person of colour in this novel.

The irony.

Or if there is, neither Sean nor I have noticed.

No, I'm saving all of that for the next novel, doncherknow. And god, there were enough in the previous unfinished one. *groans at the memory of all that political correctness ( Read more... )

Thing that amused me the most today: Marissa Nadler has released a second volume of covers just for those of us who ordered the album directly from her. When she tweeted about having finished one of them sometime last week, she said it was Learning To Fly and I immediately responded with a joyful "Omg, that's my favourite Floyd song, yay, can't ( Read more... )
