h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

right, due to my unhealthy teenage-vampire obsession I've been thinking. Always dangerous.

Anyway, I've concluded that it's all down to my teenage years lusting after John Taylor and David Sylvian. I like the pale & interesting slightly girly look (as well as the huge biceps/dreads combo - and any other manly combo you'd care to mention)

So, I went looking

feeling nostalgic now...

ok just been looking at YouTube - as you do - and introduced the Gruesomes to my younger self's heartthrob, David Essex

and of course, then we had to watch Lee Mead sing the same song

phwoar!

Ooh but have you seen David Essex recently? He was on a chat show about a month ago and I didn't recognise him. Me! Who previously lurved him!

Oh I know! Hugely disappointing. But have you noticed, he's got a strong resemblence to Peter Gabriel (did when he was younger too) and come to think of it, have you ever seen them together?

Has anyone else seen "Curious Case of Benjamin Button"? It'll make you but by 'eck, Brad Pitt and there's some shots of him I swear they stole from his Dallas days when he was a 17 y.o. in the barn with Charley Wade

*dabs forehead*

I've decided not to bother with it in the cinema. Maybe on DVD later.

Yes at 3 hours duration it's a strain to sit through in a cinema seat

I can highly recommend "Seven Pounds", you'll need to be a Will Smith fan as he's in every scene but phew, by the end of that you'll feel you know him...intimately

*faints*
hot on the heels of my total infatuation with Paul Bettany as Dustfinger in Tintenherz (Inkheart)

I discover that the book I'm currently reading with the Gruesomes (The Little White Horse) has been turned into a film. Starring my current infatuation (been watching Hornblower) Ioan Gruffudd

So here is Ioan Gruffudd

and here is Paul Bettany

Just bumping this up the conversation list.

Is it me, is it us, or is there just not so much to about these days?

I just spent a weekend in blighty and the most exciting thing on TV was the special programme on Torvill and Dean, as well as the ice dancing. I did catch a glimpse of my favourite Scotsman, Neil Oliver, in a trailer. Mentioned him before but it seems I was in a fan club of about 1 1/2 people there.

Have to agree - need Sky then can watch Lost and 24 for a drool over here

Still into Hornblower. Even better - I'm reading The Little White Horse to the Gruesomes, and it's just come out as a film, and he's in it
*swoon*

No SGA and Ronon Dex for weeks Out of some strange reason unknown to me, there is a huge gap before the final episode is broadcasted here in the Far North.

This evening*s replacement was "Alien vs Predator" - which is too crappy even for me...

I even sent a MSN message to a younger well toned athletic friend of mine to don a rasta wig, dress scantly and show up... he didn't even bother to respond...

I've dug out the both "Elizabeth" movies from the DVD shelf and can't decide which I shall watch, or if I shall watch them both in a row...

Hard decisions...

I haven't seen Ronon Dex for months

today I have Starter for 10 with James McAvoy. Just waiting for to leave the house so I can drool in peace.

Hugh Jackman is hosting the Oscars tonight...in a tuxedo

is it on TV? I'm not working tomorrow so I could possibly stay up and have a little look.

Well, if was "not in a tuxedo" I might watch, in spite of w*rking tomorrow

Have you seen the trailer for X-men origins?

Which Elizabeth to watch first? Elizabeth The Golden Years for a bit of the obvious with Clive Owen. Although the first film has a nice bit of ... photography.

ooh, there's an "Andromeda" entry in PR: F48874?thread=6370368 I confess I don't remember much about it, so perhaps someone else will join in and comment?

the secretary brought the mail round today, as I was sitting with my colleague trying to make head or tail of something. She (colleague) reminds me of me 20 years ago - we get on like a house on fire.

Anyway, she's currently in possession of my Rugby Book as she's decorating her living room with 3 large pictures of men in vests (like: the Deppster, Freddie Ljungberg and now a nekkid French rugby player) (a male friend of hers with a great scanner/printer is making the pictures for her - he nearly refused to take the book!!)

er... where was I? The Rubgy boys distracted me...

oh yes. Anyway, there was a letter for me from my mum

*waves to mum*

in it? a magazine clipping of Sean Bean due to that Red Riding thing coming on the TV tomorrow night. Message read "dear daughter, something to letch at"

And my colleague said: NOW I know where you get it from!

My mother doesn't letch, or if she does, she doesn't let on to me. My daughter #2 is a terrible letch, so she gets it off me. Daughter #1 is highly embarrassed by it allI just love causing her to
