Good GOD.

Apparently, anRSC web poll for the ideal Romeo and Juliet came out with James Marsters and Keira Knightley. Now, I understand the Keira bit, but Spike?!?!? Are you people on meths? God love Spike (except when he shags Buffy) but as ROMEO? Have you READ Romeo & Juliet?

I'd put money on there having been a sudden flurry of votes from unconcerned parties after someone mentioned it within that particular fandom. As Hermione would say: honestly!.

Also: I just read that Ringo Starr had shoulder surgery to sort out 'bone spurs'. I don't know what they are, but it sounds fucking painful. Hope you're back on your drumstool soon, Ringo! (If one single person even thinks about making a mean spirited comment about his skills as a musician or even as a human being, I will summon all the wrath of God Almighty to smite you)

Snerk.

Re Ukelele: I totally caved and went and bought a chromatic tuner (capable of tuning any stringed instrument) on ebay's buy it now scheme. TOtally forgot to look at payment options (I don't like the bother of cheques) to see if they took paypal. they don't. Will now have to go to bloody post office tomorrow. Have also thus spent another fifteen quid on something. At least I didn't buy a zither earlier (I was this close, I'm telling you).

Actually read the Finance chapter of my Local Govt. book for tomorrow. Have not looked at much else. Apparently I'm banking on coasting along as I always do. I'm not sure that will actually work with Reporting Public Affairs thanks to the Ridiculously Long List of Terms and the need to know every conceivable detail about a bunch of bollocks not even the people involved give a flying one about. Will do more later/tomorrow/Tuesday.

Watched The O.C. and I'm getting worryingly attached to it. It's all rose_rain's fault, I'm telling you!

From a fanfic POV, I have IAI (AKA The Sequel That Wouldn't Die) Chapter Two sent off to my wonderful beta dudes. Also have a Top Sekrit new fic in the pipeline which, if done well will shake the very foundations of this fandom. Alternatively, I'll write it and it will be quietly, moderately successful within a small group of people. Haven't started my ficathon fic yet though, but I wasn't aiming for that to be too long anyway.

Pointless OC Post

OK, I finally caved and downloaded the episode of The O.C. that I missed (for the interested: episode 6, The Girlfriend). And I am SORRY, but WHAT THE HOLY FUCK is Alan DALE doing there?

Alan 'Jim Robinson off Neighbours' Dale is Kirsten's dad in THE OC? What mad parallel universe did I trip into? It's like a weirder version of Goodnight Sweetheart! I mean, I saw that dude DIE in Neighbours. Hell, I mourned him at the time. I was upset when Jim died and now he's turned up as a rich Californian in The OC!

Or to emphasise the utter insanity of it: Jason Donovan and Stefan Dennis' screen dad is now in The OC. Just think about that.

*

God, he's playing a total wanker as well! What happened to benevolent patriarch Jim? The world is weird AND unfair!

PS. After talking to my dad, I have decided to forgive Errol Flynn (mostly). My dad's suggestion of "oh, well that means we can get rid of all those videos then?" was the clincher. He is a wily, wily man.
