Right.

Hello. I have not been posting for awhile. Or, to be more accurate, for 5/7 days. I still haunted your comments boxes though, hah! I've been sort of re-evaluating the way I use and think of Livejournal, which I think was previously 'too much'. This SAYS NOTHING about what I think of other people using Livejournal, but I do occasionally get a bit wound up about it all. So I might be attempting to be around less in future, though I don't at all want to give it up. Or any of you.

I think I somehow managed to convince myself that once I had money for DVDs and books, a job to keep me busy during the day (possibly workable with a more interesting job) and constant internet access when I was at home, fandom would be ALL I EVER NEEDED, and it has turned out to not so much be the case. Or at least not the form of fandom where I live in a constant bubble in my head. So. I'm planning to put a bit more energy into picking a job that will make me happy, and getting on with being independent and living my life. And stuff.

I have wanted to make posts though. The problem with LJ is that it doesn't pick up on the fleeting, half-formed thoughts in your head and create posts from them immediately. That's a definite design flaw.

I have been watching:

  • Garth Merenghi's Darkplace. I love Lucien Sanchez. He did a song. I think it takes a certain kind of mood to really enjoy the show, but I thought it was pretty good. And Sanch danced to his headphones! Love.


  • Robin Hood. I love Guy of Gisbourne. Except sometimes when he's stabbing things. Though he did look pretty fine with a broadsword. Yeah, baby. I love that Will has an axe. And the Pillow Talk bit KILLED ME DEAD. Omg. Sheriff/Robin might become my new 'I don't really like either of them' OTP. Is there a New Robin Hood comm anywhere about?


  • My Rex the Runt boxset from eBay. Yay.


  • An episode of Boston Legal. I love Alan Shore. He wins all the cases and smiles sometimes. I'm not really that taken with Legal Drama as a whole, and Denny annoyed me a bit, at least in this episode. But I would like to see more of that Alan Shore fellow. Yes.
Also, my friend in this town emailed me, inviting me to a Halloween film session on Saturday, and I arranged going down to see that play with my Nottingham housemates, so I have a few more social outings to look forward to in the weeks to come, which is nice.

And: the Old Gregg/Nathan Barley over at [livejournal.com profile] little_bit_raw. Omg.

I was thinking of something in film, or theatre. Or publishing. You know, something really USEFUL TO HUMANITY. Possibly I am missing my calling as a hired killer though. I did do Clay Pigeon shooting and archery for a while at uni...

Mostly; a DEGREE?!? What degree? Tell me precisely how creative I am OH WISE AND JUDGEFUL ONE!!

At the end of your university stint you will, I'm assuming, have a Masters? Thusly I will probably be crawling around on the floor after one still while you swan into the position of your choice. E voila!

Ah, I remember that Wednesday night. I didn't think you'd noticed ;)

Aaand this is why I should talk less. I would like to hear more about the adventures of Cecilia the Pirate Stage Manager, though. The economical Pirate Stage Manager. Theatres need money too!

Though as a pirate, you could probably just fund it with booty.
