Excellent friendspage this morning.
"The two jugglers. One is a better juggler. One is a better performer," and why this is like writing

A. J. Hall disembowels King Arthur
"Anyway, this is where he discovers the troglodyte necrophiliac evangelical monks and Keira Knightly, who appears to have been captured in an attempt to forcibly convert her to Christianity, and who is lying in a fetching faint in a Noisome Dungeon (TM). He sweeps her up in his arms and rushes out into the open air demanding water for her. As she comes round he comes out with what is probably one of the daftest lines in the entire movie: "Trust me. I'm a Roman officer. You're safe now."

"When I climbed back off the carpet and the hiccups had calmed down a bit he was un-dislocating her fingers, which allowed him to clasp him to his manly chest while she emitted restrained and muffled whimpers (they'd been dislocated by the necrophiliac evangelical monks, of course. Using thumbscrews. It was apparently SOP for evangelical Christians operating amid hostile Celtic tribes outside the scope of the Empire when dealing with prominent Pictish heiresses. Why do you ask?)."

I was quite bored yesterday. I was bored while watching a Muppet movie, which is frankly worrying. But happily it wore off. I made a rather nice stew for supper, with rosemary-flavoured dark chocolate in it; vague recipe here, ) so that was cheering. Also the film left me with "When you're a professional PIIIIrate... you don't have to wear a suit!".

Today is a happy, not-boring day. Just delivered, I have an old comedy series to watch at lunchtimes this week. If I can resist staying late and watching it all this evening. Ooh, the pretty funny boys.
("Am I mad?" moment last night. Why, why was I talking to my mother about slash? Whose life was improved by this? [Lust Over Pendle and its sequels are my favourite Potter fanfics. Draco Malfoy the Amazing Bouncing... Rat? is very funny. These are not exactly surprising or novel favourites to have, of course, but who cares?])

Too also as well, I have a new jacket, and a new stripey scarf (stripes!) and lovely, lovely new trainers. And I've got tickets for three excellent shows this week. Altogether, much too good a mood for a Monday.

I have a really compelling idea for an icon. I only need to learn how to make icons, grab a load of screencaps, actually put it together...
