meme!
I am sitting here picking black fluff off my legs because the girl who did them (and it was the same damn one, I need to remember NOT to book Thursday at 11am next time) left all these teensy patches of wax and so now I look like someone's been drawing on me with stencils and a grey pen.
What else was I going to complain about? Oh yes. Administration is a bitch and a half. I love how the ANU attracts the top science students in the country with its elite undergraduate research degree and then MAKES THEM RUN AROUND GETTING FIVE MILLION SIGNATURES BEFORE THEY'RE ALLOWED TO ENROL, PAY THEIR FEES, DO A PROJECT, HAVE A BOWEL MOVEMENT, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
I am a leaf on the sodding wind.
Yeah.
And now, because I haven't meme-d in a while, and because this one looks fun:
Apparently there's a thinger that picks ten at random but really, who wants to hear me talk about why I like Lost? Why I like reading? So I'm going with a few of the ones that are unique to me and a few of the more bizarre injokey ones.
1) arthurian masochism
Most of these are someone's fault. This one is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tahira_saki's, for getting me interested enough in the Arthurian boys that I now have a crazed elaborate world in my head centering around Mordred and Galahad and their fathers and the myriad of delightfully fucked up relationships both familial and sexual that exist between them.
2) brief flings with immunology
Because my heart belongs to neurology and my live-in mistress is infectious diseases, but immunology just has this WAY about it, you know? And oncology is a dirty dirty whore, but sometimes a girl's gotta walk on the dark side a little.
3) david tennant as casanova
I made up this interest and someone else has now adopted it, which is slightly frightening, but I suppose it was only a matter of time. Because David Tennant is so ADORABLE, with his scruffy hair and his big boyish smile and his aaaaaaaccent. And he makes such a likeable Casanova. He wins the honour of appearing in the icon of this post.
4) disturbing transhistorical love affairs
This one is the fault of: Ji. And Art, whom I am yet to successfully armwrestle for the love of Camille Desmoulins. Ji is keeping Danton in her closet and laughing at us both. And then there's the whole Robespierre/Rousseau thing and all the other whacked out pairings that make a really really weird kind of sense. Um. Run along now.
5) hamlet/laertes/tea ot3
WTF. I cannot for the life of me remember the context of this, but I can undoubtably blamecrazylittleme, because she's the only person I end up deliriously discussing Hamletslash with at two in the morning.
6) bernar****
Heee. You know that episode of Black Books where they try and become a more professional bookshop and Bernard tries to write his name on his tag but runs out of room? And then he gives himself heaps and heaps of gold stars? Yeah.
7) john cusack's voice
Another interest that I invented, but it has become more popular. RIGHTLY SO. Ever since I found out who voiced Dimitri in the animated Anastasia, I haven't looked back. His voice. Is sex. And it's not even British or otherwise accented, just American, but it is SEX.
8) knowing obscure shakespearean fragments
This began in grade 6, when I learnt an abridged version of A Midsummer Night's Dream almost off by heart due to endless rehearsals. In grade 7 I learned the Prologue to Henry V in half an hour and can still recite it to this day. In grade 10 I was Miranda in the Tempest. And I just have this tendency to remember weird bits of Shakespearean plays that I've read or studied or seen; I know stupid amounts of Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet, though that is largely Tom Stoppard's fault, I collect little bits of the comedies and I can play 'complete the quote' like nobody's business.
9) paying for raguel's therapy
Blame for this goes at the door ofunravels and schiarire, and by extension ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
milliways_bar. Because Thom and Lucifer screwed Raguel around Very Badly Indeed that one time and because the poor guy just gets put through so much shit and has such a bad deal in life that he deserves therapy. LOTS of therapy. INTENSIVE therapy.
10) red demonic doom bunnies
Uh...milliways_bar, again. A long time ago in an RP far, far away, a group of us got silly and threaded out the Endless (and other characters) playing drunken!kareoke. And we made them do 'I've Got A Feeling'. And Lucifer sang Anya's part. And Desire got smirky. And Lucifer created an army of red demonic bunnies of doom, which are now a permanent fixture of the bar and tend to get used for target practice whenever anyone's character wants to go shooting outside.

Dimitri's voice...his snark...his messy hair...face it, he's damn hot for a bunch of pixels.
Have you seen Grosse Point Blank?
no subject
I haven't seen Grosse Point Blank, although I've been meaning to rent it for ages. Must remedy that.
Doctor Who won't be airing over here in the US for a while (SciFi just bought the rights to the series), but I'm perfectly content with downloading to get my Tennant fix.

*sigh*
GPB is one of those movies I need to see periodically so that my random-happy quotient stays at peak levels.
BLACKPOOL. Tell me you've seen Blackpool.
