This weekend is shaping up to be... Eventful.

First of all, Emma and I fell headlong in to the depths of Les Mis obsession, and have spent hours watching the DVD, listening to the soundtrack, reading the novel, playing the songs (badly) on Michael... And buying tickets to see the show in Londinium for £50 each. My relationship with my bank balance is very S&M. This awakened obsession has also resulted in many an hour spent cruising LJ for info and choice icons, of which there are many. I also discovered the delectable Aaron Lazar, currently playing Enjolras in the Broadway revival. Here's his homepage; I particularly recommend the Gallery section...

This evening Emma, Louise and myself made a pilgrimage to Vue, our mission being to see Hot Fuzz, starring the delectable Simon Pegg, and featuring many a classy Brit actor. Also, kudos to Rafe Spall for being very hot indeed. I was desperately trying not to get my hopes up, in case it wasn't quite as good as Shaun Of The Dead, but it completely was, so yay! Then , we ventured on to Frankie & Benny's. Needless to say, we ate like the gluttons we are, and now I feel queasy.

This glorious day was rounded off with a trip to Wifey's room to watch Sharpe's Justice. Now, not only did this star Sean 'Sex' Bean, it also featured My TV Boyfriend Philip Glenister! Sigh. He looked rather smashing in velvet, even if the hair was a bit Duran Duran. He was still butch as anything, though. It was like Gene Hunt with principles. And while on the subject...

Cut for psychoanalysis )

And tomorrow, the plan is to dodge the Neighbours Omnibus bullet, crack on with the Italian, then settle in for the first few hours of State Of Play (Simm! Morrisey! McAvoy! Glenister! Nighy!), watch Recovery (Angsty Bearded Tennant!) and then finish off SOP. It shall be magnificent.

Okay, so here comes some rather brazen pimpage. I have this bizarre thing where, when I get into a show, or a band, or whatever, I cannot rest easy until I have converted others to the cause.

They only want me for my Pimp Juice )

Finally, I love [livejournal.com profile] thedreamygirl for making me this:

That's practically canon, y'all.

1. Bloc Party, and London in general

This was absolutely fucking beautiful. It was on at the London Astoria, possibly the sweatiest venue I've ever been to. It's a wee bit smaller than the Apollo in Manchester, where most of my prior gigging experience has taken place (except Razorlight. I've blocked that one out), but it's really intimate, which meant I could see their pretty faces all the better. Insert smutty laugh right HERE. Kele was godlike, as always. That man has the most heartbreaking voice, I love the way he can alternate between yelping frantically and sounding like he's about to cry. Sweaty Matt rocked the drums in the face. Side note: Emma thought he was a literal drum machine for about a year.And oh my sweet lord god, the setlist. As predicted, everything went apeshit for Banquet and Helicopter, This Modern Love was a bit faster than usual, and especially awesome, and they closed with The Pioneers! Plus the new tracks rocked my cock. *le sigh*
Plus, I got to see my bestest slutty homegirl, and have a crazy Port night out, London style. 44 hours without sleep, I think that's a personal record.

2. Pilgrimage to Geordieland for Hot Fuzz signage

Simon Pegg will be mine, dammit! Plus, it's on my day off. And I get to see my Faye. And touch Simon Pegg. Who is looking really rather toned at the moment. I wish he still had Bisley hair... I miss Spaced. You can't drink a pint of Bovril.

3. Valentines Day Pilgrimage Of Love To The Tennant

We got tickets to the Recovery screening! Where he might be at the Q&A! With a beard! Actually, scratch that, he's filming Who again. Clean shaven! All kinds of things are happening in my pants right now. Hopefully The Crotchtographer, aka [livejournal.com profile] rose_greenthumb will be on hand to capture the moment, Barrowman style.

4. Heroes

Seriously, this show is taking over my life. In the best possible way. Much love to [livejournal.com profile] darkangsty42 for doing the decent thing and opening my eyes to this godly creation. What is not to love? We have The Eccleston, with a beard (Eep!). We have very pretty boys with emo 'bangs' which hang in their faces oh-so-attractively. Seriously, look at the icon. We have invincible cheerleaders. We have adorable Japanese geeks. We have actual, serious intrigue and, like, good plots. And stuff. I'm not just watching for the pretty, oh no. Have I mentioned the pretty? Gah.
Also, LJ really does not help the obsession (I of course mean healthy, balanced love)with its icony goodness, and the overwhelming availability of slash. One word: BroYay.


Also, this Kele interview is pretty good. Mucho insight, angst etc.
