I'm Nobody! Who are you?

Dear Spain, when you stop bringing me shame, I'll stop hating you.

Stop Our Shame

No love at all,

Me.

It was only when Mickey Mouse confirmed it to me that I accepted it.

I know that, by the rules of the TV Addict Guide, I should be watching Torchwood but I can't really bring myself to care. Not even for John Barrowman or Eve Myles. Instead, I've entirely dedicated my fangirl time to randomly shout OMG!MOCK THE WEEK IS BAAAACK! (and YESSSS, FRANKIE HAS HIS BEARD ON! XD) and watching backstage stuff for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, The Movie.

I wonder why, after how much I hated the book, I am so excited about the film. Apart from the actors (Gambon? Maggie Smith? Alan Rickman? Yes, please!), I believe it's because it brings back the thrill and anticipation of my first years in the fandom (in Fandom in general because it was the first one I was involved in). I've also to admit that, even though looking coldly at it Harry Potter generally sucks, I'm still fascinated by the world and the characters, much as a child would. It's the costumes, the sets, the magic... like Disneyland but less cheap and prefabricated. Hope I can make it to a cinema where the film plays in the original version on Wednesday. Now that I think of it, I seem to remember the last time I went to movies it was to see The Order of the Phoenix. How fitting.

BTW, have you seen the promotional trailer for the new adaptation of Emma? Jonny Lee Miller is completely un-Knightley-esque (and rather sad, poor guy) but the rest looks nice (pretty please? We need good costume dramas, BBC! Especially ones with Tamsin Greig on them).

Aw, I miss my 115 icons. LJ's Free accounts suck. :(

Just 10 minutes of free internet at our rather nice town's library left, enough to say "hi! I just read back 2 weeks of f-list entries and although my head is about to explode I'm happy to see you all seem to be doing fine"

*breaths*

I'm ok, bit frustrated and still computer-less, but holding up.

Looked up English Exam result: got 98%. Nice to see my subconscious mind still knows how to write and has a hold on my cognitive processes because I can't remember anything I did that day, apart from meeting C. Also, lol at the examiners in the oral & writing tests for giving me full marks despite the sillyness, the fanfic, the Spain bashing and the Scotland love.

In the computer front, as I thought, motherboard is dead. Will call later to give permission to repair it, even if it will cost 160€ which I will have to pay by credit from my card, which is something I never do because I'd rather starve than face debt. But I must think of Mock the Week (FRANKIE!) in less than 2 weeks and my rather bad Aubrey/Maturin deprivation. If I had not had such a history of disaster with my clumsy fingers of doom I'd probably try and replace the bitch and reinstall Windows myself (my geek levels reached "Critical" and, yes, I know how to do it) but I've proven in several occasions that my hands can't be trusted with delicate matters beyond baking or knitting.

So that's it. Oh, no, wait. Also wanted to say than I'm available for meeting people again, so, if you want to have a tea and a chat, just give me a ring or drop me a line.

If all goes well I'll be back soon. In the meantime: be good!

I will own a suite at Claridges, and run a fleet of carriages, and wave at all the duchesses

2009-05-22T00:25:19Z

Today is one of those days in which I adore Google:

Because, yes, everyone should know Mary Cassatt.

Just saw Glee. I'd watch anything remotely related to musicals but this time I liked what I saw. Very simplistic and somewhat silly but, hey, All the Small Things had that too and I swallowed it whole. Have been seriously considering joining a choir, actually. I'm not such a good singer but I can hit a few notes and have a good ear which is all that is required. I really love singing and it shouldn't be so hard to find a place now everyone is doing it. It'd certainly be a good incentive to go out more.

Talking about things I love, how amazing is Ashes to Ashes? It makes me cry every week and, even though I miss a bit of the tackiness and frivolity of the first series, well, we are really talking seriously brilliant scripts, now. And the music? Feels as if I had been hit with a nostalgia stick every episode I see.

Started listening to HMS Surprise, yesterday. I'm having a lot of fun with the audiobooks. I love Patrick Tull with all my heart, his voice is my Jack Aubrey. Not so much with Stephen, though. The Stephen in my head sounds more ironic, not so serious and a bit younger. Still, it's a pleasure to fall asleep with someone reading some good Aubrey/Maturin to you.

Was dead scared about the English Test of doom but, fortunately, C. is taking it the same day as me so I won't feel so lost, after all.

And now I'm going to start reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. I know what you are all thinking: "Don't do it! You are an Austen purist, you'll hate it!". Probably right but I can't help it, zombies are my one weakness.

Edit: Almost forgot! Have you heard the news? Colin Firth is coming to Barcelona for the shooting of a movie adaptation of Orwell's Catalonia. We might meet Mr. Darcy!

It is no joke when a tall man has to take a foot off his stature for several hours on end.

2009-05-19T15:17:40Z

I'm so angry with the new Holmes film. Sorry, Robert Downey Jr, I know I said I would never hate you whatever you did but this is too much. I've been known to accept a few bending of the rules with the Sherlockian canon: I love Young Sherlock Holmes and the old movies; I own more than a couple of Holmes novels based on Arthur Conan Doyle's work but written by other authors (yeah, more or less published fanfic from before the internet existed. Isn't that cool?). But this? This has gone too far. With the action filled scenes and teh pretty, the nakedness, the Robert-you-are-half-a-metre-too-short-for-the-part and the over acted dialogue scenes. Has no one at Hollywood heard of the books, even remotely, or listened to Clive Merrison's audios or watched Jeremy Brett's series? I'm sure they haven't. THAT'S WHY THEY FAIL SO HARD.

Gosh, I could scream.

After the rant, if you'll excuse me, I fell asleep last night and missed a) chat with friend living abroad (ooops, was her birthday, too) and b) Ashes to Ashes (gasp! OMG!) so now I need to catch up.

One last thing before I go. Please tell me how to get this song/video out of my head, I beg you! I love Kids in the Hall but I can't live like this, watching it over and over, singing it constantly, giggling every time someone is called David -they all have their own hands but they come from different mums- I'm in hell and it's their fault:

Why did they have to be so funny? I even had to put it as a ringtone on my phone (as a substitute of the Peter Cushing lives in Whitstable QI hit). Bastards...

The lesser of two weevils.

2009-05-17T19:59:55Z

Well, zauberer_sirin you were absolutely right, Aubrey/Maturin can cheer up the blackest souls, certainly did with mine. Especially if it's accompanied by the lovely bunch at mandc_watch. Here I was, thinking the AOS fandom had disappeared from the face of the internet. Fortunately it is not so.

*waves at new friends*

*is absurdly happy*

In fact, I'm considerably contented at the amount of nice slash potential in fandom, these days. There's the new possibilities arisen from the Star Trek movie (sadly, not much Kirk/Spock which has always been my main TOS ship, and always will be, but go and take a look at the new kirk_mccoy community in all its glory). There's also the ever blooming Marlin/Arthur (I'm seriously obsessed with this one, I tell you) and new hints at a Harry/Draco revival as the Potter movie approaches.

Off to supper, now, and then tiramisu. Mmmmm...

Happy Saint George's Day!

2009-04-23T13:56:43Z

Today is Sant Jordi! Go out, buy books and roses for your loved ones and be as cool as we Catalans for one day.

Going to try to go to Barcelona, now. Wish me luck!

That's the prick I'm talking about!

2009-03-22T19:50:55Z

I can't tell you how brilliant, beautiful and funny the last episode of Free Agents was and how much I squeed and cried but I can show you this thing I was compelled to make:

Do you feel a Free Agents picspam coming? I do.

Also, do you know who would kill for this coat (and all her wardrobe, really)?

ME!

Fuck, I hope they do a second series...

Oh dear, not again!

2009-03-18T08:51:25Z

You guessed it! It's Prince Prat's bathtime!

Ok, in my defence I have to say...er, I couldn't resist? I was bored? Colin is so cute?

I know, I cannot draw at all and it looks half cooked but when I tried to give it a more finished look by colouring it... well, it wasn't much of a success, really:

Anyway, it took me a few hours but drawing is one of those things that gives me pleasure without any pressure because, even though I enjoy it, I know I'll never be good at it. In fact, even in its ugliness, I have grown so fond of it I might even post it around. And probably draw Arthur, too.

Let's see.

*ducks to avoid rotten fruit*

*sticks tongue*

P.S. Yes, this silliness might have something to do with the fact that I went outside, yesterday. Even took some pictures. I will post them later if I'm not too busy drawing blond princes.

All pleasure is only relief.

2009-03-10T00:03:10Z

Got computer to work after two worrying and seemingly fatal strokes. I should start looking for a place where they can replace my hard drive but I have had so many bad experiences with computer technicians I honestly would prefer to learn to do it myself or something. Because I don't trust those guys and because they are unnecessarily expensive. And I'm poor.

Still, I will try and use the poor little machine less, now, to prolong its life as much as I can. It is only two years old, it really shouldn't be troubling me this much.

In case you are wondering, no, I didn't resist the temptation of watching this week's QI. It was epic. Alan talking about The Sound of Music, David Mitchell suggesting a Maria Von Trapp/Mary Poppins face off, Emma (Thompson!) making Stephen squeal like a girl by showing him her breasts...

Also, the show isn't called Quite Interesting for nothing. I was introduced to the fascinating world of the Wilhelm scream:

Haha. Brilliant!

In Hufflepuff they always spend the day making stuff with safety scissors and glitter.

2009-03-04T20:11:37Z

Trying to figure out what to do with my green balls of doom yarn has brought some amusing consequences. The Fail Mittens I'm currently frogging are a good example:

LOL. They are not only tremendously wrong in size and shape (OMGZ THUMB!) but also an utter colour fail. I needed to double the yarn weight because all the acrylic yarns in this frigging country are for crocheters and therefore too thin to be knitted properly so I decided to combine both the Green Yarn of Doom and a small ball of another ultra light acrylic yarn I had lying around. It hurts the eyes but I had fun doing it. I might even try and redo it with a little less thumb powa' and doubling the green thingie only.

Also finished my little green bag (although I'm still making the i-cord strap WITHOUT DPNS. Ouch.) and my first felted beads!

Really enjoyed felting these. Just put apart a few threads from the remains of the woollen merino yarn I used for Gabriel's hat and scarf, made them it into two little balls and rubbed them into hot water and dishwashing soap. Voilà!

Bag is made with this quite striking stitch. Another ball of green blob I don't have to worry about!

First time I tried to make falafel it was a big disaster so I used another recipe and this time it was simply delicious!

View Poll: Which Merlin

If you excuse me, now, I'm going to go and sulk about the infinite WRONGNESS of the Spanish LoM* and the rather astonishing position of most of the fans who actually prefer it to Ashes to Ashes. *facepalm* It was such a nice fandom at first and now everyone has turned into a hyena, tearing each other apart without never even stepping down from their High Horses of Righteousness. If I ever muster enough courage to sell my dvds (I really could do with the money) LoM will the first thing to go. Because it's tainted for me and not fun anymore.

Slightly unrelated but... I thank the Gods Lark Rise to Candleford exists. Not even Being Human and its kick ass finale could make me so happy as this little period family show does. Especially now that Laura seems to be finally growing up, the Pratts have bigger roles and Brendan Coyle has gained a little bit of weight again.

*Yes, my tv has been turned off since the day the trailer was released (I was already boycotting Telecinco and Antena 3 for being a bunch of Spanish nationalist bullies - they are actually campaigning against Catalan- and openly supporting bullfighting so it didn't make much of a difference).

That's what it's like! I can see the attraction...

2009-02-24T22:41:15Z

I still have a few comments to answer but before that and in case you haven't seen it... A SNOG!

If you are planning to watch the F series of QI: LOOK AWAY! If you don't, well, I'm sure you will after seeing this.

Meanwhile I'm still frustrated for not being able to buy proper, beautiful yarns for all the projects I want to start while desperately trying to find a pattern which would somehow embellish the nicely coloured but rather stiff six balls of green acrylic yarn mum bought me for Christmas (good intentions but, kids, never buy yarn if you don't know much about it). I had to discard the bag I had planned for it because it wasn't going well and the result was quite ugly. I'm considering this bolero right now but I'm not sure I want to knit my first shaped clothing pattern with the trickiest, less comfortable yarn in the world, either.

And just to make it all even more random Merlin!Sims Preview - you know you want to- Meet the Main Characters:

Don't they look spiffy? I have been making more clothing options recolours for them and fixing the ones I already had as well as trying to edit their skins to make them look more like the characters (I suck at sim art so I didn't succeed much, actually). Also, you'll probably laugh at my face when you see how crappy my Camelot is but, what can I say, I am no builder. Anyway, I'll try to post the first chapter as soon as I have finished sorting the mess my computer is into, right now. Any feedback is more than welcome (yes, you can even put me in the stocks and throw rotten, unhistorical tomatoes at me, I won't flinch).

Chips are nicer if you are deaf in the mouth.

2009-01-12T22:45:24Z

Hey, f-list, how is your new year going? I'm sorry I didn't come by to wish you a happy 2009 but I've been fighting a bad case of New Year's Blues. Let's give Jon Arbuckle an opportunity to explain my first 12 days of the year:

Or, in case you want a somewhat more detailed account, this is what I've been doing:

- Knit Gabriel's b-day gifts. I made a hat, I did it! Weeeee! I'm perfecting my increases and decreases and learning to make cables, now.

- Avoid the news so I won't hear about what's going on in Gaza. Because it makes me so sad and angry I can't process it.

- Watch the whole HIMYM. 3 seasons and a half in only six days and I still can't decide if I like it or not. Mostly it's a no, because I hate Ted, his stupid story and his twisted morals but then the other characters (i.e. Swarley!) are fun and it has hilarious moments. That's American sitcoms for you, they are rarely perfect and they never seem to find a good balance between comedy and plot, these days.

- Enjoy the extras in my shiny-shiny Especial Edition of Green Wing. OMG. An hour and a half of deleted scenes. Hilarious audio commentaries with cast and crew - Julian Rhind-Tutt told me to get out of the house; Stephen Mangan is a God; Mark Heap said Pippa was her bitch (again); all the girls were in love with Tamsin Greig and the boys were jealous; it was bliss!

- Feast my eyes with The Grinning Man (Alan Davies + Sheridan Smith = YAY!SQUEE!) and QI (Flotsam and Jetsam has gone right into my Top Ten Episodes List).

- Feel very uncomfortable surrounded by my Christmas gifts. We are poor, we shouldn't have bought them at all. Now they are staring at me from under the -imaginary- tree with their shiny wrappings and they menacing tied ribbons.

Oh, yet another thing: lydkami, I found the Christmas card I thought I had sent you, behind the dinning table while cleaning out, today. :S I sincerely hope you didn't notice its absence at all. I guess it fell off the stack when I was putting on the stamps. Silly me! I'm very sorry, dear.

What a long post... SAVE YOURSELVES! I still owe a you a few replies which will come swiftly tomorrow together with the first edition of Sim!Merlin (now with moar naked!Arthur and glamour!Gwen). I've told you, I'm 12. XD

The Life of a Victorian Genius

2008-12-26T18:08:28Z

Watching Harry Potter films on tv seems to have become a Christmas tradition, now. The dubbing is terrible (both in Spanish and Catalan) but it's nonetheless fun. Not as much fun as Doctor Who last night, though. Apparently, snow + steampunk + David Morrisey = JOY! Especially when David Tennant and David Morrisey have such an astonishing chemistry going on. There were so many sparkles in my screen that I thought I had forgotten to clean my glasses. But no, it was the sex emanating from those two. Quite nice. It's weird how I seem to be growning fond of Rusty now that his era is coming to an end. I have the feeling I'll miss him (especially if His Royal Terrible Actor Patterson Joseph gets to be Eleven).

Also watched Crooked House, last night. Rather daft ghost stories but still entertaining. And had Julian Rhind-Tutt in a wig, pregnant Daniela Denby-Ashe, and Lee Ingleby whom I adore.

I'll go back to enjoy the wonderful Beatrix Potter's biography Linda Lear wrote read by Lindsay Duncan at BBC7, now, but I'll leave you with some slightly belated Holiday wishes from our favourite Prince and his very loyal and magical ~~boyfriend~~ manservant.

Too much time in my hands, I know.

Bon Nadal!

2008-12-24T19:11:50Z

Bones Festes/ Happy Holidays to you all!

:**

Frankie Boyle = Davros.

2008-12-24T05:00:02Z

You can't imagine how much I laughed with the Mock the Week Christmas Special. It was hysterical. Frankie was leading the Daleks while they exterminated Dara and Russell just before the latter was sucked into a black Hole in Switzerland; Dara and Russell confessed their love; Hugh almost made Frankie cry; Dara couldn't be arsed to introduce a round; Frankie raped Santa and killed some pandas; Michael McIntyre came into Boris Johnson; Andy Parsons had a disappointing start and I was rolling on the floor during the whole thing.

All hail the comedy Gods.

Also, reeeeeeeally enjoyed the Christmas Qi, although in quite a different way. Was very glad to see the show back on its brilliant tracks after the rather insufficient Children in Need special and loved Alan in a hat, Rob Brydon's cheek and Stephen Fry's naughty bits.

Will probably leave the new Lark Rise to Candleford episode for tomorrow night, although I saw the fist five minutes yesterday and... well, I can only say I have missed it so very much! It's such a feel-good series that I'm sure it'll lift my spirits tomorrow even with the miserably Dickensian Christmas we are having, this year.

Oh, got some more cards, yesterday, too! That'd brighten anyone's day and Mrs Scrooge is no exception. electracine, alioli, sarie_gamgee: you are all too good for words. Thank you! :***

OMG, Frankie has got the beard again.

2008-12-22T00:24:17Z

Shipping backwards

2008-12-19T17:02:47Z

Gee, for my last entry about Colin Morgan's Cat costume I went to look for Cats videos on Youtube and realised how much I shipped Mr. Mistoffelees/Rum Tum Tugger back when I discovered the musical, before I even knew what the hell slash and non-sailing ships were.

Their love is so canon!

Also, John Partridge, you are still the sexiest kitty in town. What a voice!

*imagines Partridge singing with John Barrowman*

*faints*

I get it: for Brits, Panto is like our Pastorets*

2008-12-19T03:41:46Z

Take a look at the spiffy costume Colin Morgan was wearing for the The Paul O'Grady Show Panto (it was Pinocchio, ~~Merlin~~ Colin was playing The Cat):

How cute. He almost could be on Cats. He made some magic, too, just like Mr. Mistoffelees:

And now look at Jo Brand who, right now, is my favourite ~~fairy~~ person ever:

That was the first Panto I ever saw and I must say it was funny. Also quite enjoyed Sheridan Smith's appearance (I do have a soft spot for all Doctor Who companions who aren't Martha Jones) and the whale.

*In case you are wondering, Els Pastorets is the typical Catalan comical nativity play. We all have done it (I was Garrofa from Pitarra's version for a couple of years before I got breasts and couldn't play a boy anymore).

Surprise is like a thrilling -- pungent -- Upon a tasteless meat

2008-12-16T22:13:59Z

I finally sent my christmas cards yesterday and most people around home seem to have received them already. That's efficiency. Completely un-Spanish efficiency. It's so weird I'm starting to have conspiracy theory related paranoia. Honestly...

This interview with Frankie Boyle is almost a confirmation of his leaving Mock The Week. Well, that's sad. I understand why comedians would want to keep their careers open and get some distance from the very competitive, somehow overused panel shows but, Frankie, dear, if you stop being on tv regularly I won't be able to ~~drool over you~~ follow you at all. I must get a reliable source of income and some other things *cough* to plan a few trips to see his gigs.

Stopped having wedding dreams. They were replaced by "Being chased by giant, skinless, headless chicken" nightmares. Laugh if you want but I decided I should stop slacking off and get fit in case dead meat decides to start picking on us veggies in real life. DUN DUN.

Bored now.

View Poll: What should I bake next?

Kevin McKidd has a ginger beard. I can die happy, now.

Edit: Can you believe that I completely forgot to include the very angsty and age-difference-hot pairing Uther/Morgana in the poll?

*headdesk*

One to Beam up, O'Brian.

2008-12-10T06:39:18Z

I'm taking a peek at a few online pages from Yarn/Knitting shops in Barcelona and I'm growing increasingly angry with my...er, impediments. Dear me, I so want to go there! A couple of places have online shopping but I don't think a newbie like myself should be ordering wool around without knowing the first thing about sizes, qualities and whatnot.

I'm honestly starting to look greedily at circular needles. I find the patterns and instructions for circular knitting most confusing, though, especially the ones which involve a random number of steps to be done with the most terrifying thing in the world: double pointed needles. Seriously, I have been watching vids on knitting on the round with those and I'm sure I'll never be able to do it.

It's frustrating because I'd like to make a hat but even the most simple patterns, the ones that are supposed to be suitable for beginners, contain some kind of circular needle action. The simplest one I found used two circular needles of different sizes and lenghts. I don't call that easy! And the worst part is that the only circular needles I been able to find around here were those cheap-o, totally twisted, useless, plastic things they had on the chinese bazaar.

I guess by now I'll have to content myself by attempting to knit this backpack without killing myself during the many knit2together, Yarn Overs that it contains.

BTW, my last haircut was definitely not successful so I tried again. It was an ever bigger disaster. I look like a geeky boy with boobs, now (where are Guy and Mack and all the other men in the world that find that look excessively cute when you need them, eh?). LOL.

Off to watch the last Sarah Jane of the season (*sobs*). Apparently there won't be any sleep for me, today, either.

Cheesecake!

2008-12-06T23:13:35Z

Baking genius is back. This morning I made a cheesecake with chocolate muffin base and it's absolutely delicious!

A couple of pictures and the recipe:

Recipe:

Chocolate base:
Ingredients
125 gr butter/margarine
75 gr sugar
75 gr flour
1/4 cup of milk
half an egg (or one, doesn't make much difference)
4/6 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa

Preheat oven. Mix liquid butter and sugar in a bowl. Add egg and stir. Add flour and milk and stir until blended. Add cocoa and stir a bit more (yep, lots of stirring involved!). Grease pan with butter/oil; pour mix uniformly and bake at medium heat for about 15 minutes. Let it cool.

Cheesecake
Ingredients
700/800 gr Philadelphia cheese
220-250gr sugar
4 eggs

Beat cheese and sugar until blended. Add eggs one by one stirring all the time. Pour mix into the pan on top of the chocolate cake base (mix is very liquid, don't worry, this is normal). Bake in oven at medium heat for about 15/20 minutes. Then lower the heat to Low (duh!) and bake for another 40-50 minutes. Let it cool. Put in the fridge and refrigerate for no less than 4 hours (the more, the better, really).

Enjoy! I sure did ;)

Remember to go here if you want a Christmas card from moi. You still have time! (yes, I know I'm late :P)

But I'm in need, too...

2008-11-16T18:24:41Z

The amount of squee after watching all the Children in Need specials this year has been high and my head is not clear enough to make proper reviews so, here, have some bullet points:

. QI. Waaaaaaaaah. I went completely insane waiting for it and then it was so short and there was so little Alan! David Mitchell was splendid, as always, and so was Stephen but I missed a more "classic panel" (Where was my Jo Brand, and Sean Lock and Rich Hall and crossing-my-fingers-for-him Bill Bailey?). It was still good, because there can't be bad QI but definitely somewhat lacking.

. Ashes to Ashes/Top Gear - WTF happened to Marshall's hair!? It was yucky. Apart from that... I have missed my boys (and girl) so much! Can it be next year now?

. Merlin. I Lol'd. Hard. It was so silly and all the actors were so clearly trying not to laugh. It's horrible, yellow and has only one eye!. A creature of charity? Even Richard Wilson was struggling with his lines, there. XD

. Doctor Who. OMG. I know, I know, fake Dickensian England is fake, but can I go and live there? With David Morrissey and his false hopes for better Doctors?

Edit. Forgot to say: THEY ARE DOING NEW RED DWARF SPECIALS!

I shouldn't be this excited because, honestly, series 8 was crappy and the new stuff will probably be as bad, but I can't help it. It makes me so happy that they are at it again.

The Vampire's Diet

2008-11-13T02:45:24Z

How good is that the first episode of Bones I happen to catch on telly is one of the three that had Stephen Fry?

I'm writing again. Not for NanoWrimo or anything like that (I'm no good at collective things, thank you) just the silly old story I started a couple of years ago and intend to finish even if it takes me a couple of decades. It's not as if it was some transcendental stuff either, just a children's mystery novel that happens in a circus at the very end of the 19th Century. Quite fun. Problem is I'm a painfully slow and insecure writer and I need to get into a particularly hard to achieve mood to get any work done (I call it the Mrs. Fletcher mode). Which reminds me I have something to ask you:

Can vampires eat normal food? I mean, I know they drink blood and all that but are they known to eat salads and chips, too?

I don't know a thing about vampires. They really bore me*. Zombies? cool; werewolves? sexy; green blobs? would marry them, but vampires are a bit cliché for me. Still, for nostalgic and too-long-too-random-to-explain reasons, I want a fake!vampire in my circus but I need to know if people would discover he was a fake if he was seen feasting on a roasted chicken. Any help appreciated ~~I'm too lazy to research this myself~~.

I changed my hairstyle, yesterday. I went for the Moneypenny look although I can't say if I succeeded or not (and won't post a picture because I'm going through a low self-image phase). Still, cutting my own hair is a great way to relieve stress. Also, I'm no good at letting it grow. Gabriel likes it long but I don't have enough willpower to resist those little pointy scissors talking to me with their high pitched voices from within the bathroom's cabinet.

Anyway, has anyone seen the latest Dexter episode? I'm glad I didn't stop watching (this season had been disappointing so far) because it was absolutely fantastic. Actually, I ship Laguerta/Ellen Wolf like burning.

*All except Spike, of course. He doesn't bore me at all.

I just knew Frankie Boyle was my soulmate

2008-11-08T02:27:32Z

Also, he's a bit of a geek isn't he? I mean, he discovered his and Hugh's RPS and he goes around the internet doing silly tests.

I love the Scottish bastard.

Edit: I was right, he is a geek. Take a look at his website:
http://frankieboyle.com/
