But you know I know when it's a dream

Because we have Orginal Series movies as well! Giving us OT3 on an EPIC scale.


( So you thought that the Orginal Series was blatant about shippiness? You ain't seen nothing yet. )

1.
Ashes to Ashes finished. I know it needed to be brought to a conclusion, it couldn’t go on forever but still I feel bereft. What am I going to do without it? I mean, it was a bit rough on my feminist side Gene Hunt...back seat of the Quattro...I think so, but I loved it so much. *sniffle*

2.
Lost also finished. About bloody time. And on that note...what? I know I haven’t really been paying attention for like, a while now, but still...was it just me or did it answer practically nothing? I know a little ambiguity is intriguing (you’re talking to a fan of The Prisoner) but this...no. Bah. I may have to re-watch the whole thing from beginning to end when I have time.

3.
I realised today that my Government, the ACTUAL one that runs my country RIGHT NOW, in my head goes a little like this:

David Cameron = Urquhart
George Osborne = Stamper
Nick Clegg = Sarah

Complete with weird triangular relationship and jealousy issues.

OMG people, I should not be thinking like this about important real life stuff! I blame uk_lolitics. It is preventing me from taking this seriously. Plus the BBC keeps describing David Cameron and Nick Clegg as a couple! It’s driving me goddamn crazy! It makes me mad because I would love it if I didn’t dislike Cameron so very, very much. Cameron/Osborne all the way! (That way I dislike both the people in the ship equally).

4.
I have been sort of fic writing. The thing is, we have the wedding of the century going on here at the moment (my friend would not have me describe it any other way), so I’ve been busy with real life...but this is good, happy real life so I’m down with that.

5.
I bought some cowboy boots. They’re very sexy but, to paraphrase Bill Maher: ‘there are no cowboys, I’m wearing a costume!’

6.
The weather has been very hot here. You know how bad we were during the cold weather? Well, we’re not very good in the heat either.

7.
Beyond the fic prompts you guys gave me I also have more Star Trek fic in my head; an AU of This Side of Paradise where they actually stay on the planet with the HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE plant life and another, as yet directionless, S/Mc fic (which at the moment consists of random bits of smut that need shaping into some sort of story).


TL;DR? I get too emotionally invested in TV, I’m starting to view my country’s politics as a fandom, I have no style, and I’ve been writing porn.

In two parts because Livejournal limits are the bane of my existence.

Anywho, here's a meme that I did before my hiatus and then forgot to post. I had to pick my favourite icons and write about them. I thought I'd post it now because it combines two things I love. Icons and my own fannish opinions XD

A three day migraine has served to make me miserable. Head is still thumping away nicely, but at least it isn't quite as bad. Plus the nausea and double vision have stopped. After suffering from migraines and almost constant headaches for fifteen years you'd think I'd be used to it by now, wouldn't you?

Anywho, I spent most of yesterday lying down in a dark room listening to the BBC radio Sherlock Holmes.

The Cardboard Box - Is this Lestrade at his most thick? Normally he's just "conventional" as Holmes mocks, but here it seems like he's being wilfully stupid. He doesn't even listen when Holmes is practically handing him the clues. And what's his problem with medical students anyway? Bless him. ♥♥ I really love the stories with Lestrade in them. Also, Kevin Whately's pretty great in this.

The Dying Detective - How amazing is that story? How amazing is the radio adaptation? I think this might be my favourite from the BBC adaptations. It's one of those stories where everything is just brilliant; the villain who was a good, actually rather liberal and progressive man who became so blinkered by his work that it eventually drove him to murder. Not just that, but Holmes also being a devious bastard as well, tricking poor Watson like that. I must confess that I kinda like Holmes when he's a bit of bastard (you might already have gathered that).

I had more thoughts as well when I was lying there but I've forgotten them all except those.

On a completely unrelated note, something that amused me, one because it was hilarious/insane, and two because my finding out about it coincided with my uploading some new Reaper icons; according to a poll by Public Policy Polling, 14% of conservatives in New Jersey believe that Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ! LOL, I nearly fell out of my chair when I heard that. Fundamentalists; they're the gift that keeps on giving. I mean, that's just crazy. I know I spent a lot of time comparing Tony Blair and/or Margaret Thatcher to Satan, but I didn't actually believe it! It was witty hyperbole!

Eh, I'm gonna lie down now.

Sherlock Holmes

This is part of the five things you associate with me thing that has been going around. The lovely weekend gave me five of my most excellent interests and this is the first one.

( Any truth is better than infinite doubt )

So I'm bored and temporarily unable to get to my TV and DVD player (damn!)

I have being watching my new DVDs though, which is all very exciting and squee worthy.

I have actually seen all these episodes before, but now I can watch them on a big screen and in a comfy chair and I can sit there with drinks and snacks! It is all amazing.

Vasily Livanov is very sexy and I love his voice like whoa! And I totally want to marry his Holmes because that would be the best thing ever! And Vitaly Solomin is sooo Watson and I love him a lot too. Just the fact that he is so suspicious of Holmes at first and then he challenges him to a boxing match and Mrs Hudson has some sherry waiting for him for when he gets beaten and I love Mrs Hudson too.

And The King of Blackmail...oh just brilliant. Just the Russian pronunciation alone - Meeel-verrr-tonn. And their shoddy attempt at burglary where almost everything goes wrong!

And then the...the one that's the Final Problem, whatever the Russian ep is called. Oh my God, totally a nightmare-inducing Moriarty who is all kinds of creepy! He's like a human spider *shudders*

But the fight at Reichenbach is brilliant, much better than Granada's I think. There is actual fighting and I love it so very much because I am a bit shallow for men in ripped clothes. Oh and so touching. Don't cry Watson.

Ahem, have I mentioned that I'm rather fond of this series?


On a more Granada-y note, behind the cut is a .gif that totally validates my second favourite ship.

I was putting the finishing touches to the chapters of my novel that I have to hand in for my creative writing module, when I suddenly realised that I had created a character called Mr Harvey! Hooray for unintentional Ladykillers reference!!!

Speaking of The Ladykillers ( Some Ladykillers babble )

House of Cards finished today. They cut Colin J's best line! Okay, it was because it was before the watershed, and the line in question contained a (very unsubtle) oral sex reference. But I still mourned its loss.

Next is To Play the King. Michael Kitchen proving that he sounds disturbingly like Prince Charles (even though he doesn't look like him) and Colin in nothing but a towel. This is a very odd programme.
