burntcopperNever again will I mock people who walk through the snow with a brolly. By the end of my walk to work (I had considered getting the bus due to running a bit late, but seeing buses sailing past full and the queues at the bus stop...) My hair was soaked. Bleh.
I was cosy due to the huge coat of ultimate swankiness, and had fun mocking the people who think trainers are sufficient wear for four inches of snow/slush on the ground. Boots with grippy souls or at the very least a heel are your friends.
But anyway. SNOW!!!!! EEEEE!!!! THAT WILL NOT MELT BY THE AFTERNOON! SNOW!
You may have guessed that I have a five year old's attitude to snow. Even when I'm fucking freezing and tired, I still have it. I have gone *jogging* in the snow before and was ridiculously bouncy even as the cold air was painful on my lungs.
What was amusing? Amy Winehouse's 'Back in Black' album is fucking perfect for drying out and drinking coffee whilst getting you through the first bit of the morning.
Am appreciating teh Barrowman's performance on Sunset Boulevard. (as usual, the highly illegal mp3 recorded in someone's lap version) Looked at it on amazon for tracklisting and reviews and kind of... undecided. Because I'm aware that John's take is pretty different from the original - the reviews of his performance were 'my god, it's Joe Gillis as a brat'. Anyone listened to the original cast recording and got any opinions?
Oh, and completely unexpected headlines for those familiar with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

teh_no is attacking monkeycrackmary for stepping on his ego and not keeping in the little narrow boundaries he feels she should stay in. also, she shouldn't write porn involving Robins.
Watched 3x20 of SGA. Where I squeed far too much over Chuck's appearances - I have such a new appreciation for that man since Peg 2. We shall hug him and squeeze him and call him George.
Rome? New Octavian. Okay, not such a cold emotionless little bastard as Max Pirkis, but this one is still a manipulative bastard - only filtered through what I refer to as the Paul Bettany Chaucer type. Constantly mildly amused, manipulative, laidback, etc, but without the volatility of Mark Antony. And yes, I did drool on my shoes.
Note to self : burn and delete stuff, run spybot and registry cleaner when I get home.

(Though strangely in love with Octavia. Which considering she ends up marrying Antony, at least historically, kind of sucks for Agrippa.)
I am very very jealous of your snow. We have none here. *sigh*

But oh my. Considering Antony and Octavian have to form an accord, and there's all that bit where he has to convince him to marry Octavia (mummy dearest will *not* be happy when that comes up)... go on, show, write more Antony slamming Octavian up against the wall and having his way with him, you know you want to. Or at least Octavian goading him into it.
I'm also pondering how they're going to deal with all of Octavia's kids. There's the three from her first marriage, Antony's passel of... er... I think it's four pre-Octavia, the ones she has with Antony, *then* she gets saddled with his and Cleopatra's twins when they commit suicide. Bring it on, show.
