burntcopperToday, it was so windy all the ferries were cancelled. Went to Pendennis, where I almost got blown over several times. Kind of interesting for the National Heritage geeks - St Mawes and Pendennis were built at the same time by Henry VIII, and the original castles are almost identical in layout and original gunrooms and so on, except Pendennis kept getting extra fortifications, the first of which made the original downstairs gunroom useless. Although if you've visited St Mawes, you can see how it would've originally been set up. Pendennis, on the other hand, was used continually as an artillery/barracks so quickly got extra buildings and big guns and so on. A lot of the Pendennis exhibition shows off the various fortifications and WWI and II barracks and guns and things like the location of the submarine mines and observation posts.
But my god it was like having your face made raw. With a couple of two minute bouts of rain. And interestingly, one case of hail when I was fifty yards from home.
Been catching up on Robin Hood. Way too much fun, loads of gay, fanservice, and large amounts of ultra-violence (though oddly bloodless). And![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
munchkinott, Allan doing the lean and Gisburne sizing each other up in motion is even better and gayer than it is in screencap. Also, the amount of blatant anachronisms vs. the really bloody inconsequential only see them if you're a history geek details that are disturbingly historically accurate is making my head hurt. It's like 'whee! gay! whee! laura ashley prints! whee! Swashbuckling! :whiplash: '...was that just them cutting Marian's hair off in public as punishment?' and MUCH. 'We're artists.' :glomps:
Hmm. have two minutes to decide whether I want to go see Eastern Promises (viggo and Naomi watts film about eastern european gangsters in london.

So, you've caught up then....
I know. My hormones know. My dirty little braincell knows. *bangs head on desk* I think I still have the bruises from when I first fell off the sofa watching it.
My only consolation is in terms of total, complete and utter fangirl mindfuckerously 'HOW THE HELL ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH THIS BEFORE 9PM? GAWD LUV ME SOME POST-RTD MEDIA SOCIETY, YUS!' slashy... The lean n' size up has got nothing on the previous scene with the shirt change n' drool. O.O
Re: So, you've caught up then....
Date: 2007-12-07 10:22 pm (UTC)Oh, the shirt change'n' drool is obviously gay. It's just that the lean had 'Tell me about it, stud' written allllllll over it.
only finished 2x06. hoping to catch up on train tomorrow.
Not exactly caught up, but yep...
Date: 2007-12-07 11:22 pm (UTC)Also, there is no heterosexuality left in this show! *headdesks* Not that there was all that much to start with, there's just significantly less now. *headdesko ad infinitum* Anditisdrivingmecrazy! In the best way possible! *snugs show tightly*
It's just that the lean had 'Tell me about it, stud' written allllllll over it.
You've seen the icon that's been going round then? *facepalm* I stick by my original Casino Royale assessment. M'sorry but I will not deviate from the path that Daniel Craig in 'I liked my jacket. WhydoIneedanotherone! sulk/pout' mode is comparable to Allan in 'you don't like my new clothes? sulk/pout' mode. Mainly because Eva Green n' Guy have the too much eyeliner thing in common as well as the giggles.
Three more to go! *unpacks the pom poms* NowyouseewhyI'vebeeninhellfor10weeks!! *wail*
