moogingQUICK PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: I shall be watching BSG 4.5 two weeks behind the UK. I do not want any spoilers. Like, at all. And if I find out who the final cylon is before I see it revealed on the show? PEOPLE MAY DIE.
Er, that is to say: please, please, BSG-people, please lj-cut posts about it.
RIGHT THIS POST IS ENTIRELY POINTLESS: I will attempt to bestow order upon it by making it a numbered list of rubbish, instead of just me saying stuff in no order. Bow to my superior nonsensical skillz.
1. I'm off to see 'The Oresteia' in February, in York (awesome). Clytemnestra is one of my favourite women in the classical world, and I love the Oresteia for, like, showing her as bitchy and petty instead of whiny and weak like approximately many other texts.
2. Does anyone else find it difficult not to just go spending all their money in one big splurge when they finally have some to spend? My birthday/Christmas money is burning a big fat hole in my, er, bank account.
3. Being Human starts on BBC3 on Sunday 25th January! Moar George and Mitchell! Apparently the first few minutes are crucial, according to the BBC, so get ye sat promptly. Admittedly, this is a bit of a challenge for me, as I usually miss the first couple of minutes of things due to underestimating how long making my dinner will take. DD:
4. ALSO pilates continues to be unbelievably amazing. I can't say what, if anything, it's doing for my weight, as I seem to be unable to actually stop eating like a total heifer, but it's definitely making me more flexy-bendy, and, without wanting to sound like a total wanker, it feels like something I do entirely for myself, like I'm just taking these 10 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes/half an hour in the evening to ignore everything else that might be going on and focus on just stretching that little bit further.
5. I've been re-watching Grey's Anatomy. I still like Meredith. I still like McDreamy whilst simultaneously wanting to punch him in the face a lot. I still like Meredith/McDreamy, and do not like Izzie. I am quite clearly a fandom pariah (I should really do an unpopular fandom opinion post, except then you would all de-friend me and I would be cast out into the cold space of lj all adrift and alone and whatnot)
6. I'll do a fic round-up of 2008 soonly: it will have markedly fewer fics in than the one for 2007 had, but then 2007 did have the advantage of having Life On Mars take over my brain and force me to ignore revision in favour of writing the gay. Who needs an edcayshun, amirite?
7. I want to write some Derren Brown/David Tennant. Would anyone be interested?
8. I have already written David Tennant/Matt Smith. Er. idk how that happened.
Belatedly, happy new year! I hope you all have a fantbulously brillisome 2009, right?
IN CONCLUSION:
MY BODIES IS SQUISHED IN MY SPINES

Date: 2009-01-16 12:15 am (UTC)Hurrah! I shall get right on that. (er, it may degenerate into gratuitous and badly written porn, but, y'know, that is not my fault: they are both RLY ATTRACTIVE)
ps: why are we still awake?
YOUR ICON IS AMAZING
no subject
Date: 2009-01-16 12:27 am (UTC)I am still awake because a) I am writing something truly retarded, and b) tomorrow, my first lesson is not until 11am, so I am allowwwwwwed a late night, before it's back to getting up at 7 for work on Saturday. :DDDD Thursday nights are funtime nights!
ITHANGYEW. I desperately need some Being Human icons: but idk whether to upload pilot ones I still have saved - there must be some lying about in one of darling Bertram's myriad picture folders - or wait until the new series starts. Which I am, by the by, SO fucking excited about that it is untrue!
no subject
Date: 2009-01-16 12:37 am (UTC)What is this retarded thing you are writing? I have launched straight into the Brown/Tennant porn, so, you know, we're both writing something STUPID in lieu of healing sleeps.
BEEEEEIIIINNNNG HUUUUMMMAAAAANN. Will you be available for spastic texts on the night, during first viewing? Just so I know whether I can text you whilst hanging, agog, off the sofa. D'you remember when the pilot aired and I texted you with declarations of my love for George/Mitchell without actually knowing if you were watching what I was watching, and then you went UNFG YES LIKE REMUS/SIRIUS and I very nearly had a mini-fit of delight at the perfectness of it all? Good tiems.
I will be grabbing some new season icons, I am sure, but I've had these uploaded for a while (the umbrella one says 'twirl that umbrella Marshall' in the keywords: I am not entirely sure where my brain went during that labeling session, but I hope it was nice)
Mainly, I want to see moar George and Mitchell just being around each other and all the awesome that entails, and, er, moar angst, moar boys interacting forever and ever and ever with Annie as well, okay, can that happen and also would it be out of the question for them to, like, kiss accidentally and then brush it off or smth, b/c that way, the tv programme gets to keep its subcurrents of slash whilst the internets ACTUALLY EXPLODE.

Date: 2009-01-16 12:46 am (UTC)Your icon-labelling made me laugh; you look back at some and they're just so bizarre, aren't they? My worst one is the names I give pictures when I save them, which often turn out to be freaking crackers. Sometimes they are a description of what the photo contains ("oh oh pretty boys"), sometimes they are a statement of joy ("YES.") and sometimes they are just things I urgently need to say or know ("so where did my ovaries go then"). Sighhhh.
I do remember that, omfg! Being Human was SO EXCITING then and will be SO EXCITING now, I actually cannot wait, and yes I think I am in that night. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :DDDDDD MY JOY CANNOT BE TEXTUALLY RENDERED.
Re. George/Mitchell, here is something I was saying to Maddie earlier: "What do you think the chance is of them actually ending up a couple at the end of it? Bearing in mind that [the creator/main writer] is the guy who wrote that Touch wood episode, Greeks Bearing Gifts, where the previously heterosexual-and-straight-and-totally-not-at-all-gay Toshiko falls unexpectedly in love with the charismatic inhuman female who sweeps her off her little bicurious feet. dgnsklrnglrn can you imagine if George/Mitchell actually happened, I would fucking DIE, no kidding."
I STAND BY THIS. xxx

Email me to tell me about this retarded thing, so I can email you daily to mock and encourage it. ♥
I do the exact same thing with picture labelling. I am a freak. Also, you know that picture of John Barrowman in the jeans with the water and the weird sex-face that's basically just porn except he is, for once, not touching his penis? I have that saved on my computer as 'VERY MUCH FOR FRAN', as I saved it for Fran (er, no, really, Moog?) and wished to entirely distance myself from it even on my own hard-drive. Oh yeah. I also have many, many pictures saved under keyboard smashes of various names: the most amusing thing was when I tried to save a picture as smth like 'fkjsbjgsbgkjaafbj', and the computer said "you already have a file saved as 'fkjsbjgsbgkjaafbj', do you wish to overwrite?"
