froodleBloody finally. Why does LJ insist on my password having numbers in it when that makes it so hard to remember?
Anyway, this week in brief:
Those Alex Rider novels; Yassen is either Alex's dad, or he fancies his pants off. Jury's still out on which is more likely - Horowitz doesn't seem like the kind of writer to push the boy-molesting envelope, but let us not forget that Yassen is ginger and nobody sleeps with ginger people*. Also, Alex is quite clearly not Russian.
Miami Vice sucks. I didn't want to believe it, but between Jamie Foxx's stupid painted-on hair and beard, Colin Farrel's 70's gay porn star moustache and goatee combo and the fact that the entire plot is basically Smuggler's Blues amped up and stretched over two hours, it's a dire viewing experiance. Also, playing a crappy remix cover version of In The Air Tonight is less of a shout-out and more a case of adding insult to injury. If there had been some aligator-related hijinx, or maybe if Gritty!Norties!Sonny and Rico had actually cracked a smile throughout the entire affair, I might have been a little less harsh, but as it is? For shame, Hollywood. For shame.
Alan Campbell's Scar Night should make it onto the To Be Read list of anyone with taste, anyone who likes fantasy, anyone who likes boys with wings, creepy religions, dystopian visions of the future, assassins, the devestating effects of biological warfare or, in fact, anything that is good.
*This has been scientifically proven. With science! Or at least with stern authoritarian figures wearing white coats.

Date: 2006-08-31 07:57 am (UTC)that picture is Bray not amber.. see how he wears ..um.... ok well the hair is different, (and totally not gay) and that's not salene, i just smudged lex. (OH NOES LEX GOT SMUDGED!!! *sadcries* -bray)
also you realise that you just proved the unshagability of ginger people with pharmacutical-beauticians who are themselves usually orange. i wasnt sure if it was actually the right people i was stereotyping so i went to debenhams to check and OMG Fully Orange! except this one lady who was maybe 30, maximum and had the leathery skin of a 60 year old. she did our make up for us. it was Super cool.
p.s. i found a ty beanie bear in our GIANT-Toyshop-of-MYSTERY!(and super cookies)(tm) and it had a tie on and the tie said canada so i named it wilson and carried it around untill we had to leave the toyshop and i left it in this barbie four-poster bed with a little american bear i named house only house didnt like the bed cause it was pink and had princess written, like, Everywhere. Also i couldnt find a cane for the housebear so i was all -sadcries- and only a cookie could cheer me up. Yay! Cookie!

Date: 2006-08-23 05:33 pm (UTC)Incidently, Liamneeson says you need to write some Lex/bray slash. Or you're going to Hell.
no subject
Date: 2006-08-24 07:31 am (UTC)Well Liamneeson is evidently not very on the ball, because I'm already working on slash. Pictures and clips of Bray would help, though. I mean, I know from the start I was slashing Lex, so it's (the half-story and notes and crap) is all filled with question marks and Jack?, just like that.

Date: 2006-09-06 05:59 pm (UTC)The actor who plays Bray is (unfortunatly for him) called Dwayne Cameron. I would find you pictures, but I have less than ten minutes left before my time runs out, so I must type! Type like a demon! But he is hot. And very, very queer.
And uh, you realise Slade and Ram are brothers, right? Right?!
no subject
Date: 2006-09-06 08:33 pm (UTC)What is with you and your Dwayne complex? You do know I'm from (and reside in) Texas, right? Also, yay for hot queer boys.
No, no one told me that and also? If they're hot enough I don't really care. See: Supernatural. And, um . . . other shows I can't think of right now.
GET YOUR INTERNET BACK.
no subject
Date: 2006-09-16 11:06 am (UTC)Is Dwayne a popular name in Texas? Because if it is... bad luck. I'm not saying it's the single most goofyass name in history, but it's definatly up there in the top twenty.
I think we can both agree that Ram, while a semi-decent baddie and also quite amusing in his bad-guy-of-the-good-guys phase, is not hot enough to excuse incest. Although Slade... yeah, he's hot.
I AM TRYING BUT EVERYONE IS STUPID HERE AND THEY DO NOT SUPPLY IT TO MY HOUSE!
no subject
Date: 2006-09-16 03:25 pm (UTC)I've never met anyone named Dwayne, actually. And now I so want to see said top twenty. *holds hand out*
No, definitely not. If he were, in fact, Alexis Arquette, then he would be. Because I have pictures of him naked AND SPEAKING OF SO I HAVE NEKKID PICTURES OF MIAMI VICE ERA DON JOHNSON SO GET BACK ON-LINE SO I CAN SEND THEM TO YOU!
Slade is incredibly hot.

Date: 2006-08-21 08:54 am (UTC)Anyhew, glad to see your madness survives. And apologies for being so generally shit freindship-wise...oh, pretty much all year. To recap: Illness, exams, illness, moving out, illness, hospital, Cornwall. Yep, that's pretty much it.
Re: Boy Molestin' and other hijinks
Date: 2006-08-23 05:29 pm (UTC)Now do you see that my tales of Isle of Manly woe were entirely justified? So hillbillytastic! Although I'm not sure I follow your cowhorse logic at all...
No worries, this year has been pretty... oh what's the word... intense for me also. Recap: getting kicked out of law school, nervous breakdown, getting robbed, nervous breakdown, going to work in a call centre, nervous breakdown culminating in mass murder, moving to Beeston and changing identities. Although not so much that last bit.
Re: Boy Molestin' and other hijinks
Date: 2006-08-24 08:33 am (UTC)Are you still at the same telephone number? If not, mail/txt me your new one and I shall abuse my parental landline in the interests of catching up properly/bemonaing our sad fates. Just let me know when be conveinient etc.
Fugly. I've forgotten how much that word amuses me.
Re: Boy Molestin' and other hijinks
Date: 2006-09-06 05:57 pm (UTC)I've got the same mobile number, but my landline has changed to... something I can't remember. I shall call your mobile tonight and thus impart this forbidden knowledge.
