Gosh I'm sleepy :)

Another week passes by...*whooosh* There it goes. :)


I just watched the most brilliant thing on television -- an interview with two of my favourite people, Robin Williams and Stephen Fry. What heavenly bliss! *swoons*
Robin was on fine form, talking a mile a minute and postively frightening the host Parkinson with his mad behaviour. I was laughing so hard I could barely breathe. And then my beloved Stephen came on to talk about his new book and could barely say a word because Robin kept doing silly things. Poor Stephen. At least he got to call Robin insane a few times, which seemed to delight him very much indeed. *grins*


Squishy hugs and a big THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to fill out my little questionaire. I have such wonderful friends. *squeeeeeeeze*
And because I promised, here are your delicious cookies! Yum yum. :)


In other news, shortypenguin and shiveringjemmy are feeling better today, which makes me a very happy bunny. *noodles*

Oh, and orangelover and I have decided to run away together to become Porn stars. No, seriously.
From now on she'll be known as Brownie Frances, and you can call me Ginger Peninsula. *giggles madly* ;-)


I finished reading Forests of the Heart, a new-ish book by one of my favourite authors, Charles de Lint. And my god, it was amazing. It's certainly the best work he's done in a very long time, the story just swept me away, with it's blend of Celtic and Native American myths, everyday people and true, believable magick. I think pouk23 and caersidi would like it very much. I can't wait to read his newest novel, The Onion Girl, which finally gives his most famous character Jilly Coppercorn her own story. I wish he'd go on a book tour so I could finally meet him and tell him how much I admire his work, and to thank him for teaching me to find magick in our mundane world.


I joined a Michael Palin community! Whooot! palinlove
I can't wait to see him again at the end of this month. Go me!


Somebody PLEASE remind me that I need to finish my History of Middle Earth lesson for Hogwarts Online. Thanks. *G*

As if we didn't know I'd get this. *smug grin*
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Billyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. :))

(no subject)

Have I mentioned yet how much I love Dave Gorman? He is truly the cutest, silliest man in all England. *giggles*


I just watched the new Buffy episode, wooohooooo! All hail Kazaa! :D
I was actually a bit disappointed with most of it, not because it was a bad episode, but because I had seen such glowing reviews my expectations were too high. I really like the sexy new principal, although the new Sunnydale High campus looks more like the outside of the LA zoo than a proper high school. *giggles*
But the ending...oh WOW, that was truly amazing. I was left speechless, I can't believe what happened! Series 7 looks like it's going to be fantastic. :)

And now I'm going to say something I never thought I would...Spike is gorgeous. *grins*
I've always liked Spike, but for his humour ('people are just Happy Meals on legs'), not because he's delicious eyecandy. All that has changed however. I don't know why, but the hotness of James Marsters was unbelievable in this episode. Maybe it's because he was really sweet and pathetic and I just like that sort of thing, maybe it's because his hair looked slightly different...all I know is that my heart was pounding and I started to swoooon. Gahhh, I can't believe I feel this way over Spike! I wonder if it will last. *laughs*
(Don't worry Xander my love, you'll always be my favourite Buffyhoney. Well, apart from Giles of course. *giggles* ;-)

Continuing with the Buffy theme (gosh, I've talked about nothing else all week! I haven't been this involved with Buffyness in years...) I am currently downloading songs from Anthony Stewart Head's album Music for Elevators. So far I've listened to 3 songs, and they are great -- not at all what I was expecting, more techno-jazz-pop than rock and roll, very synthy and evocative. I am liking it very much, and not just because its Giles. *G*


Actually, if someone could recommend so new music to me I'd really appreciate it. I think I've been stuck in a bit of a musical rut lately (I've only listened to Tori Amos, The Divine Comedy, Loreena McKennit and various musicals for months now) and am desperate for something new. Unfortunately the brief snippets of contemporay music I've heard have made me feel absolutely ill, they are so appalling, so I haven't had much hope of finding anything decent. In case you don't know, I like 60's rock, good modern rock like Garbage and U2, rennaisance, classical and celtic music, singer-songwriters, and bands that make me laugh, like Moxy Fruvous and Barenaked Ladies. So, any suggestions? :)

I think it's about time to wander downstairs to eat some dinner and then go to sleep. Goodnight Nevviefans! :)
