Last night I had a dream in which Bruce Greenwood and Mark Harmon made out. And lo it was awesome.

ETA: And then my sister and I had a conversation about who would  bare the children if Batman, Jethro Gibbs and Mcguyver all got together and bred. I maintain it would be Mcguyver as the only one of those with any emotional intelligence. Also he's far ( Read more... )

How did I not know about this before?!? While reading an article about the Japanese first lady, who claims to have both been abducted by aliens and to have known Tom Cruise in a previous life (suddenly our politicians seem so drab and dull) when I saw that she'd been part of 'Japan's legendary all-female Takarazuka theatrical troupe'. Hm... think I ( Read more... )

So, I got the kids in my class to write some stories about superheroes and then draw comic strips of their stories. The educational impetus for this was that I like superheroes, it was the end of term and I can do what I damn well please with them between 9am and 3.30pm. I've scanned in a few of the best, because I just could not keep them to ( Read more... )

I have finally once and for all finished reading my fic backlist (this is not strictly speaking true as I still have some rec posts to look through, but those can wait for a bit while I catch up on my youtube subscriptions and, y'know, live my life) and am giving you what will hopefully be the last obscenely huge flist busting rec post for at least ( Read more... )

So, the reason I haven't been posting much recently is that I still have a backlog of fic to read from when I didn't have the web a couple of months ago. And from when I was ill over new year. Seriously, my flist are such overachievers that I've never been able to catch up. And so, as my list of fics to rec has reached gigantic proportions, I'm ( Read more... )

So, this evening I went to see Mandy Patinkin in concert (tickets got courtesy of my frind Alister, pimp extrodinaire) and he was brilliant. Highlights included two seperate Stephen Sondheim medleys, a great version of It's Not Easy Being Green and White Christmas sung in yiddish. If you ever get a chance to see him (and he's in London for I think  ( Read more... )

Matt Smith? Who??? Oh, him!

I...oh, actually watching him now he's kind of growing on me. He has this thing with his hands... and he twinkles.

Matt Smith as the Doctor. I can see that.

So, everything was going fine on Tuesday. Until the evening when I got hit with what I can only imagine was the demonic semi of karmic retribution for all my past sins. The morning was actually ok. I even have a slightly amusing anecdote ( Read more... )

So last night I went to see Inkheart. I felt some trepidation as I've read 2 star reviews of it, and it's got lots of people I like in it. Paul Bettany, Helen Mirren, Brendan Fraser, Jim Broadbent, Andy Serkis et al. And you know what? I liked it quite a lot. I've seen lots of bad films, and this was not one. I mean, it wasn't great but it was fun ( Read more... )

So, yesterday I saw Alan Ahlberg, who looked just like a normal older guy. I was not however fooled by his disguise for he is Alan Ahlberg and he is magic! And then today, I served Judi Dench! Who was awesome and chatty and glamorous and lovely and very very short. She bought the new Gok Wan book, which I can't see that she needs it at all.

I am now ( Read more... )
