Ramblings and randomness

[bironic]

Guys. I am so tired I feel drunk. I’ve never actually been drunk, but I imagine it’s like this. Babbly and languid.

So, random stuff:

It snowed overnight. Not as pretty as the Valentine’s Day ice storm, which coated all the trees around here so they glittered in the sun, but it was just the right sort of heavy wet snow that makes you long for

1. I am so tired I feel drunk. I’ve never actually been drunk, but I imagine it’s like this. Babbly and languid.

Hee! You know hoe on your userinfo page you say you're like SBP Remus? That's who this sounds like :-) But I'm with you. I've slept approximately nine hours since Thursday night, and it's - Tuesday morning? - kinda lost track.

2. Wow. Katie Holmes looks hotter here than... I've ever seen her.

3. The closest thing I've seen to an all-male production was Michael Bourne's adaptation of Swan Lake. From the first row. It was the sexiest ballet I have ever seen, just... amazing. (And, apparently, it's possible to dance ballet in leather pants.)

4. You know about pwcorgigirl's House/MI-5 crossover, right?

I'm so with you on Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake. I was up in the nosebleed seats, so I'm jealous.

[roga]

I was sitting right above the orchestra, and I could smell the dancers' sweat. Heaven. :-)

1. Hee, I'm happy to have sounded like Remus there. Yay for sleep deprivation. In the sense of not. Feeling better now?

2. Um, YES. With the hair and the jaw and the suit and the ring. I wasn't sure about posting those out of the blue, but other people seem to be drooling appropriately. :)

3. catilinarian and I were just talking about Matthew Bourne's "Swan Lake," how she loved it and how I'm jealous and waiting for it to come back around here. Thank you muchly for YouTube links! I never thought to look on there for clips. Pretty.

4. Yes, and it's on my to-read list, although... *small voice* it's gen, which I do like, but which puts it lower on the list than more of tigertrapped's story. *g*

I don't know about you, but I think there's something extra hot about androgyny.

Heh. This is the first picture I ever saw that made my brain accept a new version of androgynous beauty. It's famous now, but believe me, when the issue hit the newstands it was quite shocking.

Tiger Trap sounds very interesting, although the only MI-5 experience I have is through pwcorgigirl's crossover. I'll definitely check it out.

[bironic]

Ah, I remember you talking about that shot! It's a shame they didn't get a guy to wear the dress, but K.D.'s sure lookin' smart in the suit.

Warning: If you're the type who gets writer's block from reading a story similar to something you're working on, you may want to wait a bit before checking out "Tiger Trap." Otherwise, dig in! I'd love to chat with you about it.

hijacks your comment thread Thank you for reminding me/us of that amazing kd lang cover! She is truly gorgeous. ;)

[tigertrapped]

I'm up early here and this was waiting for me - thank ou ever so much. It's one of the most generous and whole-hearted recs I've ever received, and you chose to highlight the bits that generally make readers insert caveats (e.g. beware, some of this stuff is very dark and uncomfortable reading), which makes me especially grateful and happy to have you on my flist. Not that I'm a feedback whore (although that too, obviously) but now you're watching Spooks and loving Tom and about to see Jools in action, you might like to check out Groundbait which is a long slashy, dark, angsty torturous fic mainly featuring Jools and Tom but also Ruth, Harry and co. I can't wait to hear what you make of Hugh as Jools in season one..!

[bironic]

*g* You're very welcome! Some of those chapters, there, it's as if you've written right to my kinks -- Michael with the oil and the Ronnie/Max/other guy and Max/Adam/Gideon and the water bottle in "Hold" and the uncensored first chapter and -- yeah. I did read a small part of "Groundbait" (where Tom gets felt up & beaten up by the driver and Adam gets dumped at Harry's place) but want to "meet" Jools before reading the whole thing.

[tigertrapped]

Good call on "Groundbait". *g* You might like the threesome chapters in Tiger Trap, with Max/Adam/Glenn. Reprise is the first one...

[bironic]

Oh! Whoops, in my last comment I meant to say Max/Adam/Glenn and not Max/Adam/Gideon. Love 'em. Love the clause "sent his stare scattering to the four corners of the room," for one. I really need to leave you some feedback on the rest of the parts I've read.

[leiascully]

Oof. Being so tired it's like you're drunk is sometimes worse than actually being drunk, because you can't avert the sleephangover.

Sounds like life is going well for you otherwise, which is good. I really want to see Spooks, but alas, I can't seem to get my hands on it.

[bironic]

Hey there! Long time no chat. My fault; sorry. Life actually kind of sucks lately, but who wants to hear about that? So I thought it was time for a post with the highlights, which the mood facilitated. Heh. Sleep hangover indeed. *rubs eyes* I wouldn't have been able to see Spooks either except our library recently picked up the first two seasons, which turned out to be great -- except of course the second season ends in a cliffhanger!

[leiascully]

It's not so bad to hear about when life sucks. Everyone's life sucks sometimes. But I am glad that you have updated!

[crazypalefreak]

I love it when women wear men's suits. I think it looks ridiculously hot.

[bironic]

Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't. I remember a magazine spread where Charisma Carpenter (Cordelia Chase from Buffy -- can't remember offhand if you're a fan) wore a series of men's suits and hats and things, and it didn't do anything for me at all. But these two shots of Katie Holmes were absolutely the hottest from all the images in the shoot, the rest of which had her in dresses and things.
