hello [on a cellphone], greetings, it's me, an outlaw.

1. This actually works for me in many ways: The Birdcage recut so that it looks like a trailer for a drama:

2. LAND by cthonus: read it. I can't stress how much I love this man's fic, but look:

"Does he?" Ianto asked unable to keep the bitterness from seeping into his tone. "You know what fucking stupid me did earlier? No?" He swallowed. "I told him I loved him." His shame burned on his cheeks. "I lay in his arms and told him I loved him."

Toshiko's hand went instinctively to cover her mouth. "What did he say?"

"Nothing." He spat. "Not a single bloody word."

OMG AND OWEN AND JACK AND DRAGOSTEA DIN TEA. I AM JUST SAYING.

cthonus, PIMP YOUR FIC! YOU DESERVE A BILLIONTY COMMENTS, NOT THREE OR FOUR OR EIGHT.

3. help_haiti fics underway. The big one is…well. Hrm. Planning. Post its are posty. Sort of. TOSH FIC IS TOSHY.

4. Chinese New Year menu is missing…three courses. Well, a pork and a soup. Fuckbears. Noodles might be a repeat, but my Bible says that they went quickly last year. But the pork dish has been the same for the past three years, so I think I might try something different. On the other hand, the duck is complicated enough that I maybe shouldn't be trying something complicated. Hrm. And fish.

THERE ARE TOO MANY THINGS TO PONDER IN THE MURKY WATERS. ALSO, sthayashi, Prepare to come early, because you are going to help me prep and make summer rolls. I will teach you, weedhopper.

5. Remember that the poll for the RPF (Carnivale!) is still open, so if you are interested and haven't voted yet, please go see here. The mods have yet to get back to us, so we might not be able to promote it. In which case, WE SHALL RELY ON YOU, LIKE PBS.

6. Stumbled on another picture of Russell Tovey. Good god, you could fly to Guam with those ears. Still. Cute.

Hey, thanks for the pimping ;)

"you could fly to Guam with those ears". fell off the seat at that one. SOMEONE PLEASE RISE TO THAT AS A PROMPT

Seriously, nothing screams HiDef TV is great better than Russell Tovey's chest.
Except perhaps Dollhouse.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Oh Russell, Russell, I'll be honest, I have not had occasion to see his chest. Should I find the means to correct this?

Honest, that story was awesome.

[cthonus.livejournal.com]

You can make out every hair on his chest.

And his ears.

I think I just made a charity worker cry. Is that bad?

[planejane.livejournal.com]

Like little DUMBO! Awwwwww!

[cruentum.livejournal.com]

I owe you comments and shit. I'm a bit tied up mentally atm but you'll get them *handwavey* sometime. With, like, wings and Barrowman smiles and glittersparkle. I should refrain from throwing Barrowman into all comversations I have with people. Anyway, you get the sentiment.

[cthonus.livejournal.com]

Hey no worries. I've got my 'creepy disfigured child'/Orphanage icon to keep me happy tonight :)

[planejane.livejournal.com]

Will go read fic. I usually only ever read recs, or tried and true authors; that way I am NEVER disappointed. Kind of shitty, but I ain't gonna live forever.

Russell Tovey ... ah, Russell. Not my cup of tea (not even close to a Lady Grey). I laughed at the flying to Guam thing, too.

[planejane.livejournal.com]

OMG! EARL GREY!

Back to fic now.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

OH SHIT THAT'S RIGHT!

[cthonus.livejournal.com]

I tried Lady Grey once but she wasn't impressed with me either.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

No that's a good philosophy and unless I'm in a mood, that's what I do too. I have a backlog of things to read anyway.

I have to fess up--the Guam line is from "Good Morning Vietnam". :D

[planejane.livejournal.com]

Me too. In fact, I'm wondering what crime might afford me 6 months inside a low security prison. Only they probably wouldn't let me spend my days reading fic.

[cthonus.livejournal.com]

The only line I remember is 'you can't say lesbian, you have to say women in flat shoes'

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

so... when is the carnivale taking place?

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

DATES TO BE DETERMINED.

But we're hoping Feb. NOT VALENTINES DAY WEEKEND, BECAUSE THAT IS CHINESE NEW YEAR.

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

IT IS?! GOOD! I FUCKING HATE VALENTINES DAY - CHINESE NEW YEAR IS WAAAAAY BETTER!

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

I like Russell Tovey, especially in Being Human. Yeah those ears but I still find him cute.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the ears are cute. I just can't believe they stick out that far!

[topgeargirl2.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it surprised me too but they suit them, strangely.

[arsenicjade.livejournal.com]

WINTER MELON SOUP!!!

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

NO. WELL, OKAY. WELL, MAYBE THIS YEAR I'LL MAKE IT WITH REAL WINTER MELON. YES?

[sthayashi.livejournal.com]

We'll be there and we'll be armed and ready. To prep.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

GOOD. I GOT THE RECIPE FROM EPICURIOUS, SO IT'LL BE NICE AND COMPLICATED. AND I AIN'T CHOPPING ANYTHING IN IT. IT'S ALL YOU.

[easilymused1956.livejournal.com]

I watched the Birdcage trailer. I laughed -- loudly! Then, at the end, I shouted, OMG! like five times!

Will read the story and comment when I have time. At the moment I have a tonne of stuff to do.

I suppose I should add checking Russell Tovey to the list...

Yeah, I was sceptical about them being able to make it in to a drama esque trailer, but they pretty much did. It was....better than the actual film, in some ways.
