Ta daaa!

[neverwhere]

Since I haven't updated in a while, let's catch up on the NevvieNews:

• Had really unhappy performance last night, I could feel the audience being bored at me. Ugh. The worst offenders were the wankers in the front row, who would not stop scowling and looking utterly unimpressed -- wanted so desperately to stop singing and smack them, and possibly shout in their ear: 'If you're going to be in the front row, you better sodding well look INTERESTED dammit, I can't concentrate with you looking at me like that! ARRRGGHHH!' Or something to that effect. *G* I honestly don't think it's so wrong to ask that even if you hate a show, if you're going to be in the front row you could at least pretend to be enjoying yourself, so the actors don't feel like shit. Thanks, arseholes. *kicks them*
  
  
• Bought CoS dvd, and once again wanted to hurl the bloody thing at the wall -- who thought that godawful menu system was a good idea?? It didn't work on the last dvd, and isn't working in this one. And whyyyyyyy are half of the 'special features' just rehashed scenes from the film!? If I want to see clips from the film, I'll just bloody well watch the film! SHEEESH!
  Also. Chris Columbus is Potter Enemy #1. I can not believe some of the scenes he left out of the film. Was he on crack while editing it? He claims to want to remain faithful to the spirit of the books, and then he removes all the scenes which add moody atmosphere and a sense of menace (like the students whispering about Harry and especially the almost verbatim from the book scene at Borgin and Burkes -- I nearly cried when I saw that, it was SO GOOD!) and instead puts in that soppy shite at the end with Hagrid. GAH! Thank god he is not messing with my beloved Prisoner of Azkaban. I fear to think what he might have done with it.
  
  
• Welcome new friends blythely, whom I think I'm going to meet at Collectormania next month (wheee!) and sparkyred, whom I don't know but we have oodles in common, so I'm sure we'll get on well. *grins*
  
  
• I watched the most delightfully slashy Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode the other day. I hate to say it, but Miles and Julian really are so cute together. *giggles* And their discussion about how much time they spend together is utterly priceless: 'I love Keiko. I just like...you a bit more.' 'And I love Ezri. I just like you a bit more.' Awwww. Isn't that precious? :)
  
  
• It's Adrien Brody's birthday! HURRAH! And, as further proof that I am indeed the coolest person in the world, it's also my father's birthday. Awwww yeahhh. *smug grin* :)
  

That's about it really. Did you miss me? :)

I currently have the very silly 'Happiness Pie' song from the Kids in the Hall movie Brain Candy stuck in my head. I wish the film hadn't flopped, I'd love to see more KitH craziness on the big screen. Or anywhere really. Besides, more geekycute Dave Foley is always good. *grins*

*big hugs for Esther because she's worried about her* I hope you're feeling better my love.


Edit: If you think you're having deja vu, you are -- I somehow accidently deleted this entry (please don't ask how, I really have no clue what button I pressed or why) and had to repost. But that doesn't mean you can't comment and tell me how much you luuuuuuurve me. *winks playfully* :)

When are you coming over tomorrow, cousin Pippin? Us anally retentive Brandybuck types are keen to know so that we can provide plenty of second breakfast, ale, etc., and plan some Adventures. :) My beloved (sudden realisation I'm characterising my husband as Estella... whoops!) can pick you up in the cart after 5pm, or there are numerous excellent persons based in the area who can drive you from that railway station thingy (honestly, Sam's innovations... not at all convinced by that one...) for a small amount of money, say twelve silver pennies or so (okay, not that small, so if Estella isn't available to drive you we'll go halves on your taxi - I know how uncle Paladin likes to keep you short :( ).

Don't worry about bringing a sleeping bag in your pack, though a towel would be most useful.

Estella and I would also like to know whether you'd like to stay until Thursday or Friday? We are very happy for you to stay until Friday if you would like to. :)

Hope that life is looking up in Tuckborough. Can't believe it's only a couple of weeks since we were in Great Smials ourselves. Ah well.

Many hugs and kisses,

**Merry**

Merry my sweet, you are just too adorable. *smoochers for da coz* :D

I shall be in Frogmorton for a good part of the afternoon, meeting queeniefox before she ventures off for a visit with Gandalf in his new dramatic adventure, and then I will make my way to Crickhollow to spend the evening in the company of such excellent Hobbits. :)

I do hope this is satisfactory?

And I promise not to let the Tookish gene take over and forget everything that needs to be done and/or brought.

See you on the morrow! :D
