moogingWho is talking, oh look it is me again. Hello, me.
After spending the last couple of days telling myself I was going to have a break and not do any work, and then ignoring myself and working anyway, today I am actually Having a Rest. This decision was in part made when I started rereading Book 12 of the Aeneid and it took me an hour, jesus, so here I am, all only-six-hours-sleep of me, on my sofa, doing fuck-all and waiting for Robin Hood to come on. I was going to say I am on Team Eyeliner for this programme, but then I realised that everyone wears eyeliner in this thing, so that would have been a useless assertion to make. Never mind! Guy has washed his hair! AND TOBY STEPHENS TOO, OH MY GOD, THANK YOU BBC..
. I am liking this programme so much more with Quatermass in charge! Alright, so that's not the actor's real name, but that is what happens in my head every time he crops up in something, and so Quatermass he shall stay. Not to say that I didn't like watching Cutter (I, er, think that was his name) run around and look worried a lot, but I really only liked him for the massive massive boylove he had for that pretty one that I knew from somewhere and couldn't place - er, the one who died at the end of the last season - and when he went, I got bored of Cutter on his own.
And now there is a woman interested in mythology, and Quatermass running the show, and even Not-S-Club-7-any-more girl can't irritate me as much, and, basically, Saturday nights are the night for rubbish television, oh yeahhhh.
Right now I am unable to stop listening to Coldplay's album 'Viva la Vida OR Death and All His Friends', and two of the songs on it are now inextricably linked with Havemercy in my head, and I wept like a child when Viva la Vida came on my iPod on the way home from school the other day. I was just walking home, weeping pathetically. Thank god it was raining is all I can say about that, but I am not ashamed because I apparently have no dignity left. Who knew? (Everyone).
How many times can I say that this book has gay magicians and metal dragons and a touching love story and also broke my heart in the good way before someone hits me to make me shut up? Probably I passed this point a while ago.
Hmm hmm hmm, I swear I had something else to say. Oh, right, I know.
- Hugh Jackman! How I love him and his ridiculous, ridiculous self. Not that Wolverine is a particularly light-hearted sort of guy, but never mind.
- BROOOOOOODING, god, all the brooding, it was immense.
- I approved quite whole heartedly of Gambit. Twirl that cane, pretty boy! Twirl it real good. Although I didn't quite get why he stopped Wolverine from killing Victor in the alley - I thought Gambit wanted Stryker and everyone involved with Stryker dead? - but, you know, I admit to never having read the comics, and, also, I wasn't really there for the plot. Shut up.
- I enjoyed it! A lot! It was ridiculous and fun, and ahdgadhgs pretty. I kind of shipped Wolverine/Victor? Despite the fact that they were brothers? Oh god, whatever, they were all slamming each other around and co-dependent for that bit at the beginning of the film, and all emotionally tied up with each other, and god, okay, I have no morals or anything any more.
- I also shipped Logan/Gambit, because, well, really.
- I can safely say that was the first time I have ever found Liev Schrieber attractive, and the fact that he was half-feral and snarling doesn't really say much about me apart from worrying things.
- The line, 'okay, people are dead' made me laugh, like, a lot.
- I kind of want to write fic for this, but I have no idea what about.
- Young Cyclops! An ass from an early age, good to know.
Tell me your thoughts on that, o other people who have seen it. Also, I may possibly have come out of the cinema and gone to HMV, where I may or may not have purchased the other X-Men films, because I am a ridic, and also the final cut of Alexander (because I like seeing classical history butchered onscreen with some gay, alright) and some film or other where Holmes and Watson meet as schoolboys, because OH MY GOD, YES PLEASE.
I had to restrain myself from buying Stormbreaker.
Because I want to do this, and because I need something to distract myself from the fact that my limbs feel like someone poured concrete in them, let's do this fic meme that's been all over my flist, because it looks fun:
The first ten people Anyone who wants to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to can post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. Moog-addition: up to three pairings/characters, okay. I am feeling generous, and I am also not reading the Aeneid any more today, so have at you!
