Fannish stuff, plus MUSACK!

1. I owe [livejournal.com profile] nifra_idril an apology for saying that her boy, Ioan Gruffudd, wasn't attractive. I mean, he's a bit too much with the big eyes for me, but after having watched five of the six seven of the eight Horatio Hornblower films*, I can say that he's certainly not hard on the eyes. He's no Jamie Bamber, who is just fucking adorable as hell, and he's no Paul McGann with the Grumbling Voice of Sexual Doom, but yeah, I reckon I'd vote for him in the Really Nice Arse Awards.**

*I need fic recs for HH if you please.

** Of course he couldn't hold a coin to Jamie Bamber on BSG last week, but who could? I would like to thank the costuming department of BSG and whomever decides the dimensions of regulation military towels for being really stingy fuckers. Yay!


2. Today is 13th September, which means that Elbow's new album, Leaders of the Free World is out and I cannot stress enough how much I think everyone should go and pick up a copy. Here's a small taste of their brilliance: Forget Myself (the first single from the album), An Imagined Affair, Great Expectations


3. Hugh Laurie is fabulous:

"I can't think of any other human activity that doesn't get easier with repetition," he continued, calming himself with a Marlboro Light. "Making omelets, playing violin, sex, anything - the more you do it, the better you get at it, supposedly - but for this, it doesn't apply. I find that every day is as painful as the last day, which is painful as the first day I did it."*gacked from [livejournal.com profile] corinna_5


4. [livejournal.com profile] obsessedmuch has a poll about fannish evolution from Jossverse


5. I know there's been a deplorable lack of writing in this space recently. I've not written anything in well over a month, and while there's a part of me that feels very sad about this, the truth of the matter is I'm just not inspired right now. If I don’t have [livejournal.com profile] kattiya waving things in my face and [livejournal.com profile] circe_tigana slyly insinuating bits about Blaise and Theodore I'll focus on other things. They're off, so I'm focussing on other things. My RL is benefiting at the very least.


6. Thank you [livejournal.com profile] ravurian and [livejournal.com profile] parthenia14 on behalf of myself and [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon for introducing me to James Blunt. He's not pretty, but boy can he sing up a storm. Listen to 'You're Beautiful' and 'No Bravery'.

I hope to write something for 'You're Beautiful' very soon. Of course I'd be happy to just write something full stop at this point.

*loves you*

I heard 'You're Beautiful' on the radio, but didn't catch who sang it! And I've been dying to know. Also, it's totally worthy of being fic inspiration.

I was all set to send you the music and then I was like, 'Duh, they're on my LJ' but here's the only other song I have by him, and you really should see the video, it's just so beautiful. He used to be a peacekeeper in Kosovo, and his lyrics are just like, whoa.

I love this too! And the video, well, yeah, wow...

I had to have more (http://www.livejournal.com/users/soullux/11193.html)!
