Toys, yay! And Drop the Dead Donkey :D

Opened my Lemony Snicket magnets. I stuck them on my radiator. Violet remains incredible, and the one of her with the grappling hook is the main Violet one, with her name at the bottom. This makes me happy. I tried to arrange them in dirty ways, because there were Olaf ones and one of Klaus bending over with a magnifying glass, but it just didn't work and I thought my parents would worry. My sister thinks I am 12 in my head. Growl. Also; Klaus is awfully short considering he's only 2 years younger than Violet, and if the green snake in one of the Sunny ones is even ATTEMPTING to be the Incredibly Deadly Viper, there will be ramifications. Oh yes.

Also I opened my Zaphod doll action figure. Figure of action. It's actually quite good. His coat is all rubbery and you can flare it dramatically. Also his hair. And his boots are gold! Were they gold in the movie? They are gold and snakeskinny, and I love them. His shirt is hugely gold. He wears gold watches and rings, and his belt has gold bits, and he has gold stripes on his trousers. Zaphod's theme song is so 'Gold', or whatever the Bond song that always sings 'Gold!' is called. You can even remove the coat, but then his arms make no sense so you have to remove them too. He has a nice arse for a doll. And for some reason his provided shades are entirely see-through, so he looks more like geek!Zaphod. Maybe Zaphod's evil genius twin. As cloned by the John Malkovich character. For various purposes >:)

I watched some Drop the Dead Donkey! I found it on Paramount 2 and no-one else was around, so I watched it. I watched it good. Henry got really upset at Dave, and Dave hid behind Damien and (Helen? Some lady who shags Dave later on), and the lady was clearly doing it because she didn't want a fuss or Henry to get fired, but Damien was clearly doing it because he is lovely. Yay. Then he had a grenade, which he very calmly detonated and threw to liven up his report. I love Damien. Yes. And Henry came into the office late at night and found Dave watching old tapes of Damien doing reports in army-type gear, and completely believed that it wasn't for gay reasons, like a fool. My dad's installing a Sky box for me! the upstairs of our house tomorrow, so probably I will be able to watch it much more often from now, so yay!

Also I watched my old Giant DVD. Why is there no slash? Why is there no James Dean slash? In this one he is an angry insubordinate cowboy called Jett, who has lots of 'tension' with his ranch boss, who is Rock Hudson. Then he's left some land by the boss' sister, and the boss wants it back because omg, Benedict land! But Jett won't give it back. And they hate each other some more. Then later Jett strikes oil and turns up at the boss' house drenched in oil to tell him he's going to be rich, so much richer than the Benedict's, yes, ahahaha. And he has a lot of unlikeable moments as Jett, and the boss isn't all that squeeful, but there should still be slash. Hmph.

:) Violet wears a red dress. And has a hook! And I can think of the characters now as more than just tiny snippety drawings or the characters in the film. It makes me happy.

::dances the dance of Drop the Dead Donkey, which is unlike any other in its yayfulness:: :D

Zaphod's theme song is so 'Gold', or whatever the Bond song that always sings 'Gold!' is called

That would be, uh, "Goldfinger", and you're right, it IS so his song. And omg James Bond/Zaphod Beeblebrox YOU KNOW IT MAKES SENSE CONFESS CONFESS. Zaphod somehow ends up accidentally removing Bond from earth sometime before it blows up. Probably there's plotty stuff involving MI6 vs. aliens. And Bond is suave yet out of his depth and Zaphod is unapologetically sleazy and treats him like a bit of totty and seduces him on the flight deck of the HoG and they swing on ropes together and all is GOODNESS. *shiny eyes of delusion*

I saw that episode! The lady is Alex, and she is gorgeous and darling. But possibly trumped by Damien and his little pointy nose of wariness and his effortful restraining of Henry. Oh my god, I totally did not pick up on Dave sitting alone at night in the editing suite watching tapes of Damien. !!!. You are a genius of sharp-eyed observation. You've read imperfectcircle's Damien/Dave fic, right?

Um... ::pets you and your crazy theory, and eyes::

Although if there could 'omg, are you working with Goldfinger???', 'who, baby?/Gold?' interaction it would please me rather a lot. And we all know what he normally does with Goldfinger's associates >:) Also the idea of Bond being the bit of totty for once appeals to me. And that even though he has no idea about space/the universe/everything, he probably would save the hell out of Zaphod time and time again...

Damn you, Tiniago, I'm not shipping it!!!

It was so effortful!! He BELIEVED!! I saw it and was all 'yay, Damien/Dave!' and 'yay, he loves his friends!'. It pleased me. Alex is cool, but Damien yes :D

I did not immediately think of it either, but I saw the report and thought 'if you had tapes of that...well you just would watch them all the time, wouldn't you?'. And then I thought probably the entire male staff like to take time out from their busy schedules to sometimes go into the basement and watch Damien tapes together sometimes. Because yes.

I have read the fic. Perhaps a hundred times. I love it, even if there is cruelty and Damien losing his job. It is greatness. The LJer I recced you has Damien/Dave as well. There needs to be more. I need to see the slashier episodes! Dammit.
