Hello. I haven't been here for ages. I went to see [livejournal.com profile] jekesta, [livejournal.com profile] alicamel, [livejournal.com profile] nerdcakes and [livejournal.com profile] calapine for New Year's Eve and they kidnapped me they were difficult to leave. But I couldn't have had a better time if someone had taught me to dance, so it's really all fair.

All of that (where 'all' is subjective) )

And then today I finally managed to get up in time for the Lancaster-Leeds train with no changes, and it turned out to be on the Settle-Carlisle line. Which is gorgeous, and goes through some fantastic countryside, and I highly recommend - if you're ever going to Lancaster from Leeds on the train. I wasn't always sure I was going to Leeds, but I'm pretty sure we went along the coast, and I saw what looked a like a kestrel, and what looked like a yak, and stations with names like 'Giggleknees'. And I ended up in Leeds a mere two hours later! And am come here now.

Naturally we watched the Green Wing special. Thoughts )

And I didn't do any '2006 in retrospect' or 'this year in fic' (sparse) posts, and I haven't finished reading Yuletide even, or done my 'Big Reveal' (I wrote Underbelly, Neverwhere), but I did have a really good time in Lancaster, and I don't regret it. Even when we turned a weekend into a looong weekend. So hurray :)

Oof. Busy day today. I'm going to drop the radio, I think. Too much hard work, not enough interesting/impressive stuff to be doing. Had my first meeting with the book free-for-all though, aka the Nottingham Penguin Book Club, wherein they (often) give us the books we're supposed to be reading. Like, forever. Now I just have to read the bastard things.

[livejournal.com profile] alicamel and [livejournal.com profile] jekesta have hit upon the best idea ever for improving Neighbours. Apart from canonical gay love, of course. Well, more canonical.

Oh, and I was quickly reviewing/screencapping Sea of Souls episodes 205/6 last night (possibly in preparation for fic). Two things I noticed: the place Craig first goes to watch Wade's act is called the 'Gaiety Theatre' - ! - and when Craig is first asking to 'study' Wade, what he specifically says he wants to investigate is 'the seductiveness of [his] act'

Just when I think this show can't get any gayer, oh, they go and prove me wrong!
