"You don't fool me, Effy Stonem"
Life's sort of quiet right now, so this post will probably be pretty dull. Sorry 'bout that.
Most of the people I know in Liverpool are out of the country, so it's going to be a very quiet weekend, which is sort of nice. A number of them are currently in Oslo to watch the Eurovision Song Contest. Presumably non-ironically which, just LOLforever really. There really is no accounting for taste. Still, I've no doubt that Oslo's a gorgeous city (I've never been to Norway, but Sweden's rather lovely and I can't imagine that their architecture and whatnot is all that different. Also, the stereotype of the tall gorgeous Nordic blond? Right on the button. It's sort of uncanny. Graham, I think you'd love it ;)) so entirely worth the trip for that, if nothing else. It's sort of a shame that I can't stand to be in the company of one of the people who's gone, or I would seriously have considered going along for the ride.
Of course, if Cath hadn't been in Norway this weekend she would probably be trying very hard to drag me to see Sex and The City. So sort of a lucky escape there. I actually went with her to the last one, and it confirmed what I already knew from the few episodes that I'd seen: while three of the main characters are actually sort of likable, the Sarah Jessica Parker one makes me want to stick pins in my eyes. Seriously she's just awful. Other than that, the whole thing just left me cold. So yes, definitely a lucky escape.
Talking of tall gorgeous blonds, I finally got got to the end of the first season of Legend of the Seeker. Which means that I finally met Cara, whom a fair proportion of my f-list have spent the last few months squeeing about, so yay :). Not gonna lie, from first impressions she is kind of awesome, and I'm rather looking forward to starting on Season 2, where I've heard she seriously comes into her own. (As detailed, for example, in this post by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trobadora.
I was a little disappointed that the special features of the DVD I got of S1 didn't include a half hour montage of Kahlan being all awesome and pneumatic (oh hai, cleavage :)), and the many, many scenes that feature Richard prettily stripped to the waist (practicing his ~carpentry skills, swimming, kicking arse, LOL whatever). Cos there would have been if I'd been in charge of producing it. Honestly, this show gives so much fab fanservice it's ridiculous (why yes, I am shallow. Thanks so much for noticing ;D).
A couple of pretty things to wind up.
This, bydazzleme89 again, is a gorgeous, if very dark, Skins Effy/Tony vid. The vibe is a little incestuous (deliberately so. It was posted at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
stonemcest, so what would you expect?), but it's still stunning.
And I've been rather liking this remix of La Roux's "In For The Kill" recently. Hell, I don't even know what dubstep is, but I like what I hear :)
And that's it really.
I hope everyone's fab.
♥ all.
