Letter over at LJ because I can't be arsed to try and make the coding work on DW today. Fandoms: Green Wing, Regular Guys and Four More Years.  (Not, for once, The Champions, but only because I  somehow forgot to nominate it *kicks self*)

It's weird having LJ blocked at work, but not dreamwidth. I feel like they just haven't caught on yet and my window is closing *glances around paranoidly* Just for the record, Facebook is not blocked - it's in our regs that we're allowed reasonable use of social networking sites in our breaks. I assume it's the adult content on LJ. Oops.

here, excellent links 'cause, why not.

Alan Rickman kissing a dude in some obscure movie YUM!!!

Funny. Testing the theory that chicks take off glasses and become super hot


Edit: Have just realised the dude kissing Alan Rickman is my fave character in The Walking Dead. HOLY CRAP.

Got introduced to
Don Strachey at the Gathering.

Watched one of the movies yesterday and have the other one on disk. Don and his husband Timmy are SO CUTE together. They call each other 'honey' and 'my love' and it doesn't sound stupid at all. I may have to reassess my opinion on endearments in fanfic. Also Timmy is played by Sebastian Spence, who was Cade in First Wave and now shows up in half the scifi shows on - Dark Angel, Supernatural, and apparently, Battlestar Galactica. How much do I love him for taking this role?

Obviously I will have to buy the books now.

Saturday night from 5pm on at silver_b_a's place.

Bedrooms and Hallways - movie starting at 7pm.

Once, many moons ago, I made an error of judgement.

(yes, only that once, I have never ever made any other mistakes to do with anything in my life ever *nods sincerely*)

This tale involves gourmet pizzas, a gas oven, and a fire.

Simply, friends arrived to help celebrate my birthday, bearing aforementioned pizzas, in your stock standard cardboard boxes. These I was handed, with the instructions "put them in the oven to keep warm."

I still maintain, how were they supposed to stay warm in a cold oven?

To this day I am still mocked.



So today I made fruit salad, for the first time ever. Personally one flavour at a time is my motto where fruit is concerned, but we had our Christmas party for the slash gang today and I'm espousing the health thing at the moment.

Really, there's *nothing* more annoying than the zeal of the newly converted, is there?

(Also showed off with my new trainers all day, even when most everyone else was barefoot. (Hey, I'm breaking them in)


So, me with my assortment of fruit, a big ass knife, and a bowl. Preparations complete, I think. So I start with the apples. Happily convert them into small bite size pieces. Trille wanders into the kitchen. She's impressed by my enterprise, I can tell. 'Excellent', extolls she (there may be paraphrasing here) 'so where's the lemon juice that you are no doubt immediately about to add in order to maintain that shiny healthy quality in your yummy apples'.

I have no lemon juice.

Everyone knew about this except me. Others later added helpful hints, apparently lime is good, too.


A few weeks ago I made potato salad to take to Trille's party.

Again, first time ever. But with my stepmum's recipe, containing a total of 3 ingredients (potatoes, shallots, and S&W mayo) pretty idiotproof. Shame I didn't enquire about ratios.

Trille's comment: "mmm, creamy!" Since she was licking mayo off a spoon at that moment I allow myself the delusion that she meant it sincerely.

My Secret Santa present - 'The Servant' on DVD, and a gift voucher to the grooviest bookstore in town.

See this flick. Dirk Bogarde. If you need more incentive - Dirk Bogarde + James Fox. Subtext as a description only if you are 90 years old, a devout *insert orthodox religion of your choice* and have never heard of subtext, or in fact, sex.

For more great obsessive viewing - Dirk Bogarde in 'Victim'. Made in the sixties, is attributed to have played a part in decriminalising homosexuality in Britain. Also Dirk is HOT.

All bow before Dirk.

Disturbingly, I share this lust for Dirk in common with my Grandma.
