And a fandom post! Hurrah!

Further thoughts on X-Men 3 (complete with SPOILERS) )

I've also been reading more of Sheenagh Pugh's book, with all my free time. I think it might be starting to work its way into my subconscious: I've had fanfiction dreams three nights in a row at this point. The first was about Guy, Mac and Caroline. They were lifeguards at a pool for some reason, and Mac decided he wanted Caroline back and told her Guy had abandoned her, WHILE GUY WAS BUSY DODGING GIRLS WHO WERE TRYING TO SEDUCE HIM, BECAUSE HE COULDN'T SLEEP WITH THEM BECAUSE OF CAROLINE! Then there was a Life on Mars one, where Sam was being made to do all sorts of things with a post-hypnotic suggestion, and Annie had to talk him down while Gene pushed the guy responsible into an open grave. Then last night it was The Forsyte Saga, with Soames moving into a Victorian studio apartment (with a demon) just above Irene, then setting off on a walking holiday, while Irene decided she loved the new artistic, walking him and followed him.

It's all a bit strange, but I'm vaguely interested to see what happens next.

And I've been watching Series One of Lost on DVD, since I watched all of four episodes when it was on TV before giving up. All signs point to Sawyer falling unconscious and having to be carried around in tonight's ep (2.4) though, so suddenly I'm interested.

Some Lost thoughts. Probably with spoilers. )

I think that's enough for now.

All the things.

Emmerdale! Oh how I love it. Spoileriness for the omnibus )

Anyway. I have been mostly spending money since FINISHING MY DEGREE. Partly on a flexible ticket to London on the 8th of June. The Midland Mainline will apparently get me there in two hours, but the adverts that say tickets are £6? THEY LIE. Also I'm apparently going to St Pancras station, so I'll have to find a friendly man to direct me to Waterloo. Or possibly get another train. And oh, does 'space on the floor' mean I need a sleeping bag? If so, I may possibly need to stash it somewhere before the show. It does not fit in a small bag, no.

(You may have noticed I'm still not entirely keeping up with the flist since gaining my freedom. I probably won't until I get back to 24-hour access at home. I'm still keeping a sporadic eye on things, but important and relevant events might warrant a post to my journal just to be sure.)

Anyway. I've been frequenting the cinema as well. Tragically I missed Confetti's run, but I saw Brick again, which is STILL fabulous. It's a high-school murder mystery, in the style of the old detective novels, and has Claire from Lost in it. I don't want to say too much, because you really need to see it "clean", and I'd like to be all cool and low-key about it's greatness. But I have a new OTP from it, and new cabin boys for Fantasy Pirate League. And YOU SHOULD ALL GO SEE IT.

Also I've seen X-Men 3, before the weekend rush.

General impressions )

See how I make up for my recent absence with posts of randomness and huge.

Also:

  • There should be Life on Mars icons with Futurama quotes on them. Particularly one of crazy!Sam saying 'Oh, how I wish I could believe or understand that!'. And Gene was pretty much made for 'The time for touchy-feely communication is past'. Also one of Ray saying 'Damn you old man!'. And ANY OF A HUNDRED OTHERS.


  • I love Sheenagh Pugh's fanfiction book.


  • The new "Empire" reviews Aquamarine, teen girl mermaid film of the summer, but has no time for the 'lesbian subtext'. VINDICATION!


I now go back from whence I came. To squee about Emmerdale some more, probably.
