Play review

Went to see The Dresser, which is Nicholas Lyndhurst and Julian Glover, about one night of the backstage of a touring rep company, doing King Lear that night, focussing on the lead actor and head of the company and his dresser. Fucking superb. Nicholas Lyndhurst as the thin, drawn *grey* incredibly camp and fussy dresser who has to cosset the overweening ham that is his lead actor, first into even appearing, then through the show and afterwards... amazing. If you ever get the chance to see this play, do. One particular piece of note is when all the cast and company that aren't onstage is them having to produce the storm during King Lear, and previous to that, the transformation of the actor in the makeup process.

Geeyah. Fingers fricking freezing.

Oh, and new thing over the train tannoy. Stopped outside Guildford, with 'sorry ladies and gentlemen, the brakes have locked, and we have to blow air through them to get them to un-sieze.'

Kabukivice. Because when I first got a hotmail account, I was lost for inspiration. Had a Kabuki comic next to me. Didn't want to be kabuki123. Had a Shanghai Vice cd sitting next to other elbow. Typed in kabukivice. This turned out to be a word that, because it was made up, was not anyone else's id. Anywhere. On any forum or web stuff. Type in kabukivice in google and all roads lead to me.

My default userpic is _____ because_____.


Bean. Everyone knows of my Bean obsession. megolas had found a pic of Viggo in devil mode, and wrote 'Original Sin' on it during an aim convo. I looked, went 'Well, Bean would be 'original sinner', so went and made icon. And then it became my default because it's pretty. And sums up my mood most of the time.

nanowrimo and other bits

Well, had interview, it seemed to go well, but fingers crossed - why can I never think of intelligent questions to ask at the end? Even if I think of them previous, they go straight out of my head during it.

Nanowrimo - I'm on 30,041, but most of that was a scene that's about 3 scenes ahead of where I am currently and would make no sense if I posted it. :grumble: So I gve you the end of the Albion bit, which rounds off that piece. here Also, brain does not want to write the Robin/Marion scene that's kind of necessary. It much prefers Hob-Will arguing. My brain is a tart, really it is.

Comics

Read Supe/Bats, this week. Okay, sans spoilers and just going with the dialogue they were using - did anyone else think it sounded exactly like they regarded themselves as pretty much married and were in love with each other? Besides being as scary as fuck, of course.

Teen Titans - I want Older! Tim/Kon. So very much.

Ocean#2... - :wavers hand: it's Ellis being okay. It's not superb, not in the Planetary/Authority/Transmet league, but it's decent. Maybe a step down from Orbiter.

Catwoman - mmmm. There should be shiny prizes handed out for this. With Bruce and Slam and that last line to Holly - pretty much the only thing missing was that we really needed more Ted. He was there, he just didn't get fabulousness of Brubaker all to himself.

Robin - oh dear god the art. Eyuurrrrch. Actual mention of Dana! And Tim's little mechanical planning with added Alfred is squee. Timeline baaaaad, Willingham, get your head straight. And yes, still going to shoot you for Steph.

Can't think of others right now. Busy reading Angels You Need through.
