( Well, then )
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS, MY LOVELIES?

Also, because I have been playing it with the divine darkangsty42, SHAG, MARRY, PUSH OFF A CLIFF! Give me three characters in the comments, and I'll do the same, AND THE FUN WILL NEVER EVER END.

How are you? ♥

( BSG 4.17: Someone to Watch Over Me )

Being Human was utterly fantastic; I'm so pleased with how the series turned out. JOHNNY CASH, oh my days (although I can no longer hear that song without whimpering over the GK finale, but whatever).

HEY LOOK VID RECS
+ First up, lovestories made a Merlin vid, and I've watched it at least eight times in the past day and a half. Full disclosure: I acted as a weirdly enthusiastic cheerleader, in that she said "Should I vid this song?" and I went "HOMG YES! PUT IN THE BIT WITH THE FOOT IN THE FACE!" Anyway, her summary:
This vid is an exercise in Taking Songs Literally, if anything. "White Houses" is a beautiful song about losing your virginity, but one day it came up on shuffle, and my brain went, 'Gee, this sounds SOMEWHAT FAMILIAR,' and the concept for this fanvid was born. It's about love, it's about magic (and its consequences), it's even a little bit about the downfall of Camelot
It's Arthur/Merlin and Arthur/Merlin/Morgana and the Camelot OT4 and Gwen/Lancelot and there's a gorgeous bit of Merlin/Will that broke my heart. GO SEE.

+ I REALLY LOVE MARTHA JONES, LIKE, A LOT. This vid by such_heights is kind of Ten/Martha, but mainly it's about how fabulous and strong and hopeful Martha is. It's completely gorgeous.

Aaaand syllic wrote a crazy Merlin fusion with THE BABYSITTERS CLUB. Truly, it is a thing of beauty.

Finally, Colin Morgan is adorable. Stretch Armstrong!

How are you? ♥

List 10 some Christmas wishes, they can be huge or tiny, something to be bought or made, anything. Post it to your LJ and then ask others to link theirs and if you see something on someone's list that you can take care of, do it.
( Thankfully, I already have two front teeth )
LINK ME TO YOUR LISTS O' JOY, BITCHES. Ooh, while we're about it, I've already uploaded the Brideshead Revisited OST and Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist. FUN, SEXY TIMES.

Also, I really have fucked my sleep schedule up beyond all repair. OH WELL THAT IS WHAT NAPS ARE FOR, RIGHT? I blame Ron Livingston and his video diaries.

ALSO ALSO, my Merlin DVD had better arrive today, because I am itching for the behiind-the-scenes COLIN AND BRADLEY MADNESS AND JOY, and I am being very good and not spoiling myself by listening to the audio rips, but I DON'T THINK I CAN HOLD OUT FOR ANOTHER FULL DAY. Also, shizuka_blooms wrote me Jethro-from-Doctor-Who/Bradley James, and it is possibly my favourite thing ever in my life.

How are you? ♥

NEXT WEEK: JOE DEMPSIE!

My Holga is so awesomely lame, it makes me happy. These are the best of a bad bunch, and basicallly represent me going "Coloured flash? AWESOME! Multiple exposures? AWESOME! TRA LA LA LA LA"


( Southport, York, Oxford, Paris )

Also, thanks to everyone for the comments on my last post ♥

Also also, TWO POSTS IN A ROW WITHOUT MENTIONING MERLIN? WTF, SELF? Ahhh, that's better.

( Quantum of Solace - You should click even if you don't want to be spoiled, because there be delicious picture of Gemma Arterton! Scroll past the text! )

Also, my Tess DVD came the other week, and the making of is called "Angels and Demons". Ohh, Beeb, your publicity department must be such a cool and edgy place to work. BUT it is lovely, and the actors' responses to the characters were interesting (I love how everyone admits the twattery of Angel and how they tried to make him more sympathetic. CAST PRETTY: JOB DONE). I will have to cap it at some point because the light does strangely glorious things to Eddie's hair.
( Merlin 1.07: The Gates of Avalon )
SIDE-NOTE: templa_otmena and I are convinced that if Arthur ever takes off his shirt it will actually cause our heads to explode. It took me a good few episodes to realise that Bradley James' chest actuallly *was* that broad, and not just armour padding designed to symbolically sugegst that Arthur is just a young man with too many responsibilties or something. HE IS ACTUALLY JUST THAT BUILT. We only ever get the glimpses through the Open-Necked Shirts Of Wonder, so if we ever saw it all at once I don't know what would happen. I think my TV might combust. Also, Bradley James was in the audience on Strictly Come Dancing last night! Hee!



AND FINALLY, since Merlin has awakened a thirst in me for all versions of this legend, what should I be reading/watching/Googling furiously? I've already downloaded Excalibur!

How are you? ♥
