byslantedlightToday is grey and today is blargh, although it's not as blargh as yesterday was - for no apparent reason yesterday was the epitome of blargh, and actually everyone I spoke to said that they'd had a lousy day too, except for a 6 year old who'd had a great time. Today so far is better, but...
I don't suppose you'd help me make it properly better? Sort of kick-start the way to a good weekend, maybe? By posting something Pros-y in your own ljs, so my flist becomes all gloriously Pros-y, which is always happy-making?
For example...
...the lads interrupted - a pic from our gorgeous Lorraine Brevig (up at the Circuit, so presumably it's fine to copy over to here - let me know if not! I was going to put the other Circuit one up too, but it's not work safe... *g*)...and from our gorgeous Crimson, from the 2007 Dialj Christmas Special... *sighs for happy lads*...
Anyone else...? Fave pics, or zines or icons or... oh, anything Pros-y, really... Please? Make blarghy days better? *g*

Date: Thursday, 4 February 2010 02:26 pm (UTC)Let me see .... well I finally got a chance to watch Need to Know the other day and really rather liked it - loved the twisty devious plot, it was such fun, and enjoyed B&D arresting Cowley *g* (ooh I like his mews place - rather nice, even if his taste in interior decorating is a bit gloomy *g*). The "Irish" lawyer with her cut-glass English accent was a bit ridiculous, though, as was the idea of walking into the nearest gambling den and helping themselves to an apparently random Chinese pusher .... but I liked them having a laugh at Cowley's Chinese!
And I'm so looking forward to the Big Bang stuff, but though I wanted to throw out a few plot bunnies my mind has gone horribly blank (too much to do, too little energy to do it with :( ) and I don't even have any bunnies ::snff:: alas no bunnies :(((
Never mind, I expect they'll wander back at some point - probably at an awkward moment, as bunnies are wont to do.
I shall be thinking of you all, off on your beautiful barge - there now, you do have some really lovely things to look forward to! ::sends hot cup of tea::
Oh and apropos of absolutely nothing: I've been re-reading Gerald Durrell's accounts of his collecting trips (the attitudes are so glaringly ... different; you can really tell he's writing at a time when he couldn't count on publishing with lots - or any - photos; he's very funny).

Date: Thursday, 4 February 2010 04:29 pm (UTC)Oooh - I forget you've not seen all the eps yet! I don't know how you can bear it, I have have have to just ramp through everything when I first have it. Never could save half my sweets for the next day either, come to think of it... *g* Need to Know is quite fun actually, isn't it - the lads are still together, and they bob up and down in copper's outfits, and we get to see MS refusing to wear his hat, and laughing at Lew's... *g*
Mind you, I dunno how ridiculous is really is, the idea that police could walk into any gambling den and pick a random Chinese/black/Asian/junkie/hooker, plant something on them and take them away again... I suspect it still goes on more than we might hope, even if it's in sneakier ways... The media wasn't on the side of the poor undertrodden immigrants back then you know... and they're not now, generally...
Big Bang should be fun, but it's not until August! And I'm not convinced they're going to get m/any more artists/vidders etc either - we just don't have that many in Pros at the moment... *sighs* Actually that's one thing I'm a bit dubious about - because I have such specific visions of my stories etc, and try to write them so that other people see those too (believe it or not... *g*) I do think it might be a bit weird to suddenly have a story associated with an artwork that might be completely opposite the atmosphere I'd hoped to create... cos once it's there you can't take it out of people's heads, so it'd then affect how they read the story, and... Hmmn...
But yeah, bunnies come at odd times... I don't have any bunnies for that yet either, but then I'm working on picfor1000, and on a dialj challenge (someone's got to... *g*) so 12,000 words for August - or even June - seems like a very long time away. I'm such a last-minute bunny...
Shame you're not coming to our beautiful barge... If we did a beautiful London gathering one time, d'you think you might be able to break away for a morning/afternoon/day? Evening, heaven forbid? *g*
And oh, Gerald Durrell! My mum had all his books, and so I read them and really liked them too... He was funny... and it was fun to visit his zoo on Jersey a few years ago too (hmmn, just as I'd got into Pros, I seem to remember!)
