So the BBC seems to have suddenly realised they have more stuff in their archive they can show in the afternoons than Diagnosis Murder and Murder, She Wrote. The pilot today and tomorrow and the series proper from Thursday. This makes me a very happy girl :D

My appointment for the physio has come through for tomorrow afternoon. I sense immense pain in my immediate future. Ah well, if it helps!

I stole this from dracothelizard, as usual...

The Other Fandoms Meme - this is a meme wherein you have to say everything you know about those of your friends' fandoms that you know only through fannish representations, rather than through ever having watched any.

So, basically, things you learned because you read it on someone's friendslist, saw it in an icon, read about it in the newspaper, know of it because it's pop culture, that sort of thing.

Here goes:

Silent Hill: So there's this dude called James - who is not James Norrington, May, Bond, Hook, Cook or 'from Team Rocket', but does look alarmingly like Jesse Spencer - whose wife died three years ago. He has just received a letter from - his wife. Instead of doing the math - dude! Your DEAD WIFE is sending you letters! - he goes traipsing off to some ghost town called Silent Hill. Except it turns out that she's not been dead that long; she was really ill and he killed her three days before and is having a major breakdown, and Silent Hill is a representation of his guilt. Or something. Also there's a big monster with a triangular head that everyone is scared of and if you hear static on the radio, that isn't good, despite it meaning that Silent Hill is the one place you can't hear Chris Moyles. Oh, and it's possibly the only game in the world where a PLANK OF WOOD is a better bet against the nasties than a FUCKING CHAINSAW!

Jeremy Clarkson would not be affected by Silent Hill.

House: Dude! Jesse Spencer is in this! I had a bit of a crush on him when he was in Neighbours! Hugh Laurie has a flawless American accent, House has about as much bedside manner as I have height and it's all a pun on Sherlock Holmes so can't be all bad. Also there's something about ducklings, but I could have taken that up wrong...


Edited to avoid the possibility of Australian actors having zombie spouses...

I have eaten so much good food over the last two days that I may not need to eat again until the summer.

Right, people not from That Community may want to go make a cuppa for this bit. For the rest of you; Bored out of my SKULL with the telly and with nothing else better to do, thought I'd watch some old TG eps (It's research, I still owe dracothelizard at least one of the crazy crackfics she's talked me into...) anyway, just got to the news bit in 03x03 (the one where they drown Hammond, and has the concept Jag that looks like a vodka bar...) where they're talking about that Nissan recall and I had a complete brainfart. Richard and James are no strangers to roleplay. The whole 'Yes, what is it Watkins?' exchange... Please tell me I'm not the only one who saw that...

Yes, I am wrong in the head - blame the brandy sauce.

Right, the rest of you can come back now. God, it's been a good couple of days. I'm clinging onto these moments - always waiting for the other shoe to drop, you know? Everything's been so quiet and good, and I just feel... content.

Not used to that, not at this time of year!

*happysigh*

So I've been scribbling away in my big purple notebook, and I realise I've just had one of those moments where you look at what you've just written and go "Where the fuck did that bit come from?!"

I swear, I was shaking my head and asking my muse, "So, why did you want to yell that at him, eh?"

And the bastard's not telling me!

I need another fandom, these boys are beginning to worry me... or I'm beginning to worry me... or something ;) (*always says this and never goes very far*)

*-*-*-*

In other news, I've just collected up what the Writers' Group consider to be my best six poems of the last couple of years, and got them fit for publication. Yep, we're doing another book! It's all rather exciting. We have a couple of new people who are a bit... well... *pulls face* but most of the old guard are putting things in, so it's still a really happy thing :)

Aaah! He's like the Tom Baker Doctor on acid with the Sylvester McCoy Doctor's sense of fun! (Even if he looks like the roadie for Coldplay...)

And Billie Piper wasn't that annoying... well, she was ignorable...

Sonic Screwdriver!

*squee!*

TMF (MTV lite for those of us with freeview) had a two-hour special tonight - wall to wall spice girls and take that videos. Now, I'm no lover of the spiceies, but I was a huge TT fan, so I watched it for nostalgia's sake.

OMG.

I grew out of Take That around about the same time I grew into slash, so I'd never watched their promo clips with a slashers eye, but now I have? Almost bloody killed me. I'm telling you, I had half a mind to clamber into the attic and pull down all my old TT videos. Only Takes a Minute? Never mind the pretty much superficial female they threw in there, that video was all about the gay subtext, and don't get me started on the fact that cutting the ladies out of the clean version of the already surreal video for Do What U Like only served to make it look like a five-piece gay orgy. With jelly. And leather. And I'd never thought about slashing them! Alright, I copied a slashy-ish chunk out of one of the books (think it was Take That in Private) about Mark and Robbie for someone on the RS-X list many moons ago and I think they got a story out of it, but it had never occured to me. Blimey, do I ever feel daft! :D

I guess going through my most impressionable years on a diet of Take That, AaD and Due South left a pretty discernable mark, eh? ;)

I are creative :D

Happy St. Patrick's day to one and all, and happy 25th anniversary to my Mum and Dad :DDDD

Mum and I are off to see Love Actually tonight :D It's not entirely selfish, the draw of Messers Rickman and Firth was too much for mum to bear it seems ;) (add a couple of Geordies to that and you've just about got my motives too...) and when I told her it was written by the guy who wrote Notting Hill she seemed set on going! *yay*

Aaah, the corruption spreads ;)
