maybe a world i can call mine, shining like the street lights

I announced to the room, as we were watching Eddington and Einstein, that I couldn't see people at Oxford, pre-1930, in their dress without thinking they're gay; approximately a minute later, R announced that Eddington was in fact gay.

I'm not sure what to make of this (except maybe cry - David Tennat is such an amazing actor, something I think I underappreciated when he was playing Who).

I'm faintly annoyed that Eddington & Einstein didn't come out before the yuletide deadline; I can't help think you could write some excellent stories inspired by it.

Speaking of yuletide (but not my story, which I have yet to start), I really want to get to the archive and see if they have any Donald Strachey fics. Because apparently, the way to deal with dissertation stress is to watch pulp-y gay crime thrillers. It's very entertaining and I massively adore the relationship between Donald and Timmy - mostly Timmy, because he's so sweet and long-suffering. But then again, I always have a thing for the partner. And the films are just - not pointless fluff, exactly, but romps, crime romps, entertainng to watch and not demanding too much energy.

Which is good, 'cause I have very little.

In other news: Warwick kind of fails on a number of levels, and I'm off to Newcastle on Wednesday. Whee!

It's true; the 1930s were incredibly gay. Then Hitler came along and ruined everything, but still.

This would be the perfect moment to leap in with an icon from Brideshead Revisited. Alas and woe! I have none. Instead, have some David Tennant being angsty.

Well, we'll take Brideshead as read. And besides, some angsty Tennant is always of the good.

♥ How are you anyway?

♥ I'm fine, bb. Revision is stressful and tiring, but So Far I Am In Control (ahahaha. Hubris).

How about you, darling?

[vampirespider.livejournal.com]

YAY for being awesome, but boo on the revision front.

I'm okay. Stressed out about my presentation next week and feeling like I'm still not ready to write, which is quite irritating, but also wrong. I think I just need to start typing, you know?

... and the moment I said it, I fell behind. ahahaha. ♥

Yeah, I do. Sometimes you just need to *start*, never mind where and never mind the quality, because if you don't, it'll never get started.

*cuddles you*
