panto update
Mar. 14th, 2008 02:50 pmdue to the online ticketing system being stupid, it managed to book tickets for both the 10th (which it told me timed out) and the 17th.
Teddy and Tommy are more likely to make the 10th, so we're going with that and I'm ringing up to cancel the 17th.

unintentional badfic, panto
Mar. 1st, 2008 06:14 pmWas having a quick flick through one of those 'I know this is going to be awful, let's see how shite it can be' fics and... well... it surpassed itself.
'If Ianto had seen anyone else drinking that much liqueur, he'd have been concerned'.
I... ummm... so much glee. Really. it not only bypasses the cultural norms, (Jack was on his third glass which is... so not a cause for concern), the spelling (I believe she meant liquor), and the briticism test (we really. really don't call alcoholic drink liquor), it's also achieved hilariously awful due to unintended meaning.
Sweetie? If someone's drinking liqueur, they really have problems.
<-- now has image of Jack necking creme de cassis, or going through an entire tray of liqueur chocolates and slurping the centres.
In other news, JB has been confirmed for Robin Hood in Brum next panto. I need dates and headcount.
liviapenn is making indignant noises about stereotyping sidekicks and other stuf re: CoCs and considering I've just watched Adrian Lester being five types of unmitigated awesome in Being Human - so much love so much love OMGIT'SUS (seriously, this is what patrick described it as) - if you've had this show pimped at you? THERE IS A REASON - this makes me so bloody glad about UK sci-fi and fantasy and BBC Wales.

Jan. 16th, 2008 02:01 pmListening to latest Sugababes album. It's pretty good pop, but sadly, not a patch on their last two albums. Excuse me while I pout mightily.
Cinders at Old Vic. Hee. Sandi Toksvig as the narrator = awesome. so very awesome. Especially when wearing a moustache and smoking a pipe. Double bonus points to the Fairy Godmother for pointing out that Cinders is wet, a complete doormat and has no ambition whatsoever. Or education. And somewhat slow on the uptake. Every production should have mice handpuppets singing along, doing facepalms at the sheer cluelessness of Cinders and occasionally upstaging the cast. Also one of the Ugly Sisters had hair and makeup courtesy of Amy Winehouse. We were pondering how many of the Ugly Sisters across the country were dolled up as Ms. Winehouse this year. Shower scene with Prince and Dandini! An extremely gay Buttons and Dandini! Cinders and Prince singing about the kind of person they want to meet and fall in love with, Buttons and Dandini joining in, then Cinders and Prince looking at them oddly and going '...Didn't you mean 'she'?' Audience hissing at mentions of Iceland! Cinders and Prince doing eyes meeting across a crowded ballroom cliche, and later Dandini and Buttons having one of the cutest *meet cute*s *EVAH, with stuttering and sentence completion and AWWWWWWW. Queen being a complete lush, but a lush who insists on good grammar and points out that the joke was done in act 1! Premium Herald Rates!
'Who -' 'whom, son' 'whomsoever fits this slipper' 'any ten year old could, we're getting into dodgy territory here' 'over the age of eighteen' 'also we need heirs...' 'with two x chromosomes and single' 'that could include widows and the divorced' 'who's *never* been married....'
Also, Pantomime cows that do the moonwalk. And singing with songsheets. Slapstick scene not v. good, but that's the only problem.
