Clearly I am Robin Hood obsessed, the legend and the ideal. I am now making my way through my 6th interpretation of it and loving it. Most recently I've been looking at what's online of The New Adventures of Robin Hood, it's the Xena and Hercules era version - Robin's American, the outfits are hilarious, but I adore the characters, Robin's gorgeous ( Read more... )

I have the pleasent feeling that everything is going full circle today. I am wearing a Nirvana hoodie that Jess recently gave me during her clothes clear out, it is the same hoodie that my brother borrowed from her and wore at home in Cornwall when he was dating Jess many years ago. It makes me smile.

Stargate is something else that closes a circle ( Read more... )

Been watching a lot of series 5 & 6 That 70's Show and remembered how much Jackie/Hyde is my OTP. They work so well as a couple and season 8 totally ruined them. As every J/H shipper knows, that season did not happen! We ignore or rewrite. Just watching them together makes me smile cos they've got the best couple qualities  - they change each other ( Read more... )

Things of the good this week:

1. Work hours are normal and I can begin to adjust my sleep hours (hopefully).

2. Lemonade biscuits from America thanks to Dee. I shall share them tonight with Chrissie when we watch The Princess Bride,

3. Jack O'Neill is winning my heart. Actually the whole SG1 team, all incarnations, has done that. I ship Jack/Sam and ( Read more... )

I have reached new levels of geekdom. I bought this month's SFX Magazine cos it had a four page article on Robin of Sherwood. It was a top article too - praising the series and how its interpretation of the Robin Hood legend will never be bettered. Amen to that. Inspired me to start work on writing a new fic I've been thinking of for that fandom ( Read more... )

I am combatting my cold and feverish head with copious amounts of tea and medications and healthy doses of fandom - saw my first full episodes of SGA and loved it. To make things even better

The down side to having a boyfriend with a cold is that you end up getting the cold yourself. I kinda figured that'd happen, but really didn't expect it to hit me this hard. My head is really woozy and my nose non-stop. The All-Star wrestling show tomorrow is not gonna be as fun as anticipated.

Have been noodling around a little in the Stargate: ( Read more... )

The second series of Torchwood started tonight and I loved it, probably more than any episode of series 1.

With James Marsters as the guest star, Captain John, you can't really go wrong. He was predictably fantastic, I loved him all over again. The scene where he and Jack meet up, getting reaquainted by making out and a punch-up, was gorgeous. Was ( Read more... )

So now I'm back in Soton, and all together I think I can say that my time in Cornwall was a success. Dad seemed more stable (of course, time will tell how long last this phase will last) and Mum's healing and feeling better every day (she was getting very excited at the rugby to the point where we thougth she'd burst her stitches - situation normal ( Read more... )

Ok, so the good news is that my Mum's operation appears to have gone ok today as far as we know. Dad phoned me tonight to say he'd heard from her and that she was throwing up (perfectly normal apparantly), but she's fine. So that's good - thanks for all your good thoughts and prayers. Ali now has toncilitis, it's so bad that it's making her cry ( Read more... )
