[neverwhere]

Last night I went to see Monty Python and the Holy Grail at a nearby cinema (a delightfully old fashioned one, with 200 very comfy seats), partly to see the film, but mostly because I thought it would be a good place to meet people. Especially cute geekyboys. Yes, I am that sad -- normal people to go bars and clubs, *I* go to see Holy Grail. *shakes head and sighs* ;-) So I wore one of my more attention grabbing t-shirts (the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy shirt with 'Don't Panic' in large, friendly letters on the front), and tried to look at interesting people so they might notice me. Well, I think we all know how this story turned out. No one noticed me. No one even smiled at me. There were lots of people there, but they were all in large, boisterous groups, which of course made me feel like such a prat for going alone. I couldn't even laugh, I was feeling so sorry for myself. It didn't help that right in front of me was sitting a very scruffy old man, who seemed to represent my future -- unloved, unkempt, and utterly, utterly alone. I don't want to be that guy. Please, somebody, ANYbody, save me from being that guy.


Anyway.

Remember when I said Dave McKean likes fish? I don't think I really explained just how much he likes them. Neil kept teasing him about an article he had read in the Weekly World News about fish in Koi ponds have a disturbing tendency to explode. And Dave didn't like it one bit. *giggles* Every so often, Neil would lean into the microphone and go 'KaBOOM', which made Dave twitch and glare menacingly, and Neil shake with suppressed laughter. They are so cute together. :)


I wanted to apply for an internship at the Henson studios this week, but I've just realized you need to still be enrolled at university to be eligible. Which, quite frankly, SUCKS. I wonder if Neil needs a new assistant? ;-) (Arrghh. Am going absolutely CRAZY here not having a job. No one will hire me. There's no acting jobs to be had either, and even if there were, I'm sure I wouldn't even get through the door, as I'm not a 'hot model/cheerleader type'. Rawr. Somebody give me a JOB, dammit!)


The new pictures of Remus and Sirius are...interesting. Did anyone actually believe Sirius would look like a prettyboi after 12 years of torture in Azkaban? Sheesh. Am reserving judgement about Lupin (MY Lupin), but I do wonder why the hell he has a moustache. That's just not right. Bad Alphonso!


Must dash darlings. Will try to keep you all more updated from now on, I promise. *hugs and kisses for all* :)

I think Lorraine's got Neil pretty well covered. Plus if you worked for him, it would mean moving to Wisconsin which is actually a fate worse than death. Believe me, I've been there. I know. ;-)

I noticed all sorts of runes and other mystic symbols all over Gaz's chest -- wonder if all prisoners in Azkaban get subjected to being human astrological charts or not. I'm still kind of leery about Alphonso directing -- he said a few things in that Newsweek article which make me worry a bit (mostly about the kids wearing 'hip clothes' -- if they're dressed like that at school, I'm going to be annoyed).

I'm glad you're surviving in California though -- glad to see a post by you again after so long. xxx

I know I could never take the place of The Amazing Lorraine, but it's nice to dream. ;-)

Have you seen the Newsweek photos? Hermione's wearing pink (UGH), but at least she's gotten rid of those godawful white tights. *cringe*

I haven't seen you in ages, you silly goosey. *hugs* :)

I don't think anyone could take Lorraine's place! I've met her and she truly is amazing esp. when she's plastered on 100 yr old Scotch. LOL

I did see the Newsweek photos courtesy of The Leaky Cauldron Site (um, the-leaky-cauldron.com, I think). The pink hoodie was a bit much but maybe it won't be all the way through the film?!

I haven't seen you either, sadly. I wish you were coming to NY -- Unca Neil is doing a signing next Friday. I think lucy_anne and I are going.

Whinge.

If you have a chance, please tell Neil 'Nevvie says Hi' and is very sorry that she never got to greet you at Comic-Con. Or give you hugs. And snogs. Okay okay, maybe not that last part. *giggles*

Have fun snuggums! *smooch*

I will most certainly do that. He's used to me passing along messages to him and vice versa. LOL

Believe me, if I could snog him for you, I'd certainly do it. Any excuse, really! ;-)
