Oh man, I really want to do the Annual Postcard Exchange again (especially now that I have actual stamps) but I have TWO issues: one, I did it late last year so this is more like the every-6-months Postcard Exchange, and I'm pretty certain there were a couple of you who didn't get cards (aie, I hate when that happens); two, I kind of want to send letters instead? Which totally defeats the point of pretty picture cards. So. We'll see.

Today I plan on catching up on a week's worth of fandom, barring Big Love which I can't seem to find.

Tonight is the next episode of Being Human but that will have to wait for tomorrow because it now airs at an obscene hour.

GUYS THE MISANTHROPE WAS SO GREAT. I mean, the trip to London as a whole was wonderful, if not beset upon by a sudden attack of snow, but HI I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH D LEWIS I AM NOW TALKING TO YOU FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE. It was a millisecond but it was amazing. The play was hugely enjoyable, too. Keira Knightley was great to watch, barring her annoying American accent, but she played off against Lewis really well, and his manner of enunciating was just lovely. My diction kink, let me show you it. A great adaptation, especially the verse form. I really enjoyed it.

I basically spent the day riding the tubes and hanging out in Piccadilly Circus before meeting up with an old school friend to see the play. After leaving her at the tube station, I met up with Denz and we talked about her wedding, went to see Nine, and then met up with more friends at a restaurant. It's been YEARS since the four of us have been in the same place and it was exactly as insane as always. Bish's hair now has blue streaks; Maya is prepping to go to India for most of this year; and Denz is getting married (obviously) in May. Whaaaaaaat. Life is fucking weird.

BASIA BULAT'S NEW ALBUM SOOON.

Driving lesson this morning was so-so. Didn't do too badly considering it's been a month since my last lesson. Later today Baby Cousin is having her birthday part (her birthday was a week ago) but I won't be going due to the high number of infants that will be present. She came over yesterday and showed me her main Christmas present which was a pink Nintendo DS, and then we did what we always do when she comes over: had mad times with the webcam. Teaching her the rock-on sign is easily one of the best things I've ever taught her.

Things I am still obsessed with: Merlin; the delicious that is Angel Coulby; Bradley James and Colin Morgan's wee ridiculous babyfaces. GOSH GUYS WHY SO LUDICROUS.

I have read so much poetry lately but I must be suffering fatigue because none of it is registering. Face of woe! Face of woe!

HI I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH D LEWIS I AM NOW TALKING TO YOU FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE.

I'm sorry, your post deserves a more thoughtful, detailed response than this, but really all my brain's willing to provide right now is envyyyyyyyyyyyy, followed by a little bitter angry emoticon of some description. Er.

EYE CONTACT.

Oh yes.

HI I MADE EYE CONTACT WITH D LEWIS I AM NOW TALKING TO YOU FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE
OOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD. !!!

I didn't think it would be that exciting. AND THEN IT HAPPENED AND IT WAS OMG.

Girl, I can relate. Guy Garvey from Elbow leaned in and sang to me EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO and it still makes my knees weak thinking about it.

Hi, you are one of the luckiest people on the planet for this.

That is all.

I bet it was like looking at the sun. Something so mesmerizing and blindingly beautiful.

I'll take your driving lessons from you. My father gave up on driving me an hour and a half for them some time ago.

Your baby cousin is so cute, so cute.

THAT MAN. All up in my space. Singing "Yours was the face with a grace from a different age" in THAT VOICE. Yeah, no, I am pretty much never getting over this. (I'm sure your moment will come. When/if they ever tour again. OH GOD PLEASE TOUR AGAIN SOON.)

I WOULD TOTALLY WRITE YOU A LETTER ABOUT MY DRAMATIC ENCOUNTER WITH ZACH GRENIER IF YOU WOULD COUNTER WITH AN EQUALLY DRAMATIC RENDERING YOUR DAMIAN LEWIS EYE CONTACT (oh my god).

Um.

Not lying? I have actual stationary?

Did he have his natural accent? I would kill to hear Damian Lewis' natural accent! *is crazy jealous*

[wliberation.livejournal.com]

I am so, so, so jealous of you for seeing him live in theatre. SO JEALOUS! (How long is the show running, anyway?)

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

I don't mean to gloat but it really was sort of GREAT. It's on until 13th March, I think.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

YES IT WAS GREAT.
