Tremendulent!

Things!

1. The lovely tabaqui asked me to chatter on about Almost Human and since it contains my movie boyfriend Karl Urban, I can so do this.

Almost Human!

I really thought this show had some serious potential. I love films like Blade Runner and I really think if this show had been given another season, it could have gone somewhere cool. The setting is FILLED with all sorts of things they could have done. Imagine every single Phillip K. Dick or Neal Stephenson story - it could have gone into this show. I just want my rain-soaked techno-neuromancer groove show, is that too much to ask?

I liked grumpy!jaded!cop!Karl and Dorian the Super Awesome Android. I've loved Lili Taylor since Mystic Pizza (showing my age again!) and to have her be the boss? Perfection!

Ugh, why cancel the shows with potential? *sulks* I liked having Karl on my telly on a weekly basis. SO disappointing.

2. Yuletide noms are open! Wooo!

3. I've discovered that I've somehow started writing my original thing in first person. It feels good. I'm...going to go for it and see what happens next.

Pics! Would you like pics? ( pretty people! )

Happy Monday! (If that's possible!) ♥

Welp.

I managed to walk all the way to my office yesterday morning, and got up the lift to my desk before I realised that I had left my backpack at home. Meaning no keys, no wallet, nothing. *FACE. PALM.*

So I walked back and my husband met me partway with it before catching his bus. We came very close to saying ‘Heck with responsibilities – let’s catch the next train up to Edinburgh for the day!’ VERY. CLOSE.

I would like to make a motion for February to be stricken from the calendar as a month in which we attempt to do things. I move that we hibernate for the full 28 days.

Is the motion seconded?

It’s Wednesday so: picture time!

However, instead of pretty people, I bring pretty places. These are of Llanberis, which is a lovely little town in North Wales right smack at the base of Mt Snowden. It’s really tucked away in a little valley, but the Atlantic is only a few miles away. On a clear day, you can see it! I visited it once with my dad, actually when he came for a visit to the UK. It’s very small, and filled with B&Bs and hiking shops and a really, really yummy vegetarian café. Seriously, the fruit crumble with custard was a revelation.

So, this is the setting for my story. A valley with a quarry, disused slate mines, in the mountains and not too far from the sea. You either have to drive or take the bus from Bangor in order to get there. I highly recommend a visit!



Happy Wednesday! ♥

*Does anyone remember Chris Kattan in Saturday Night Live? Anyone? Bueller? He was funny is my point. And had flair. His Mango sketch never fails to make me snicker – because I’m 12.

So, here is my first attempt at dream casting a book!

This is who I'd love to see on-screen should they ever film Crazy for You by Jennifer Crusie. Blame can be laid at the feet of robanybody whose own amazing dream casts inspired me. ♥ Oh, and fringedweller can be blamed for re-introducing me to Chris O'Donnell. :D

This is really, really bad for dial-up!

Crazy for You

This is Show #2 based on actor/actress prompts by the utterly fabulous halfpenny_press.

The Aching City

The city moans, it lunges up right from the ground
The seething earth, it opens up and spits us out
This vicious child, nature never wanted us
This vicious child, a cancer burning black into its heart
~Above and Below - The Bravery

( sidewalks will tremble )

Y'all.

Jane Eyre isn't going to be released in the UK until September.

SEPTEMBER!!!!!

I CANNOT WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!! *sobs*

Why? Why is a film that was filmed in the UK, starring several UK actors and actresses, WRITTEN BY SOMEONE IN THE UK, not being shown IN THE BLOODY UK?!?

*grumbles and goes to make a cup of tea*

Anyway! Pictures! I haven't done this in a bit and felt the urge.

Have some pictures of Evan and Hannah, Quinn and Nick, and Janice and Jim.

Happy Thursday!

Happy Wednesday everyone! Is it just me, or does everyone wake up on a Wednesday and go 'Well, at least I've only got to do that two more times before the weekend.'

The plan for this weekend is write, write, write. And then write some more. I have four stories that I would like to write. At least two of them should be finished by the end of this month, at the very least.

Anyway!

The Cast List for Teeth, Claws and Guinness is growing. BUT, I've figured out the bad guy. Yay!

FRIDAY!!!!

I've been invited to go geo-caching and wassailing tomorrow. If the weather continues to be as nice as it currently it, I might go.

Sooo, since it's Friday and it was a long week, I'm posting pictures of pretty people. Just 'cause. :D

This will kill your dial-up, btw!

( just one look at you )

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!

Back at work. Spent all morning getting large packets of stuff ready for posting. My paper-cut fingers are not happy.

Ans why is it that everytime I go outside I get poured on? I mean, drenched. Not nice, universe. Not nice at all.

Seeing as it's Wednesday, it's picture and Teeth, Claws and Guinness snippet time. Woohoo!

( Hannah and Evan loveliness )

Happy Wednesday!

Are you tired of this yet? 'Cause I've got more castings for the Teeth, Claws and Guinness world.

The village of Cwm Alaw is based on the real town of Llanberis in the Snowdonia mountains in North Wales. I visited it last year around this same time of year. It is at the base of Mt. Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales. It's a beautiful town and is THE place to go for hiking and climbing. I highly recommend visiting if you can. The scenery will take your breath away. It's also a short bus ride from the sea.

See more about the town here and here.

And here are some pictures: ( Llanberis aka Cwm Alaw )

And I'm adding to the Cast List!

Seriously, someone needs to take the internet away from me. I honestly can't stop with this thing.

Oh, my good God, could today be any more boring? I want to go hoooommmme. And cook dinner. Seriously. That is all I want to do. I want to go and cook a nice spaghetti sauce. With red onions.

But, anyway, look at this picture I found! I seriously think these two were my first 'bad' boy/'good' girl ship. It's because of Molly Ringwald that I have always wanted red hair.
