Catching up

[bluespirit]

+ Mr B & I had a fabulous weekend away seeing the amazingly pink & sparkly Miss Kylie Minogue in her 'Aphrodite' tour.
It was absolutely phenomenal (even better than the 'X' tour imo.) It was such a joyous spectacle &, despite having seats way up in the gods & wondering if we needed to be staked down for fear of falling, we got up & danced the night away.
An awesome, awesome evening! \o/

+ Just a quick heads-up if anyone wants to subscribe to my stuff over at AO3.

I'm bluespirit. (You'll need to log in to see the subscribe button.)

I'm adding my current new stuff as I post & am sloooowly adding my earlier stuff, too. So far it's just SGA & H5O. I'm not sure if I'll archive my Lotrips & even earlier fandoms - though possibly (just for completeness. *g*)

I love the download feature at AO3 - it's so easy to snag fic as PDFs & read them on my iPad without all the hassle of copy/paste/reformat-ing. :)

+ So, the SGA-SGU crossover ep with Rodney & Woolsey? Should I watch/skim? Is there any character bashing or canon developments that are going to make me wear a sad face?

+ I'm very excited - I've won two help_japan auctions: a story from my angel, lantean_drift & a song vid from the talented ciaimpala!
\o/

+ Speaking of excited... ;) Oh my - the latest shots of Alex & the additions he's had made to his tats! Fnnngh!

The way it's curling around his side like that just makes me lose coherent thought...

It looks like the original tat has been overinked or reworked into something new. A Pacific island design? (I know next to nothing about tattoos, so I'm just musing here.)
I'm not sure if I like it as much as the original - though I'll reserve judgement until we, hopefully, see it all. *g*

Also. Why don't I see guys like that when I'm out running? ;)

+ Speaking of which... I think (& hope & pray) that I've finally managed to get my knee back up to running fitness after my surgery last year. I've tried to run several times over the months, but I've always had a limp & so have stopped (to avoid furthur injury.) But I ran for 10 mins (yeah - not exactly a marathon *g*) yesterday & was limp free! \o/
I'm going to try one of my favourite routes later & see how I get on. Hopefully, I can get back to race fitness & maybe think about signing up for an autumn half. *fc*


I hope everyone is having a wonderful day!
*hugs*

FNNNNNNNGH indeed!!!! I'm developing a serious kink for tattoos...

\o/ to a healthy knee :D


There are no guys like that here either. But, to be fair, they would be a not so becoming shade of blue due to the cold if they were to follow Alex' example in attire...*ggg*

I saw Oyster Farmer again last night...Fnnnngh squared.

I know - I've never even been interested by tats before. Though, in fairness, I think I'm really just interested in this particular set... ;)

Oh, Oyster Farmer! \o/ Now I need to watch it again, too. *g* I have a completely ridiculous amount of love for that film & have already lost count of the number of times I've watched it. Dear, sweet Jack. ♥

LOL,, yeah, it's these tats. Also, I'm not a big fan of full sleeves, or the whole scull and death thing some have going on. I'm in love with that film too. It's something about the river and the scenery. I'm a big fan of Aussie films/series, though:)

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

It's such a gentle, ambling little film - but I never find it to be too slow. I also like the way it's so creative with just the little everyday things that happen in life. It's not a 'big' story but I've found that it's quietness has made a huge impression. I am absolutely head over heels for it. ♥

Yeah - I adore Australian cinema, too. :)

I was trying to find a copy of Oyster Farmer to watch but can't find it anywhere.....grrrr! The pictures Ive seen of Alex O in it are absolutely fantastic.

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

I got mine from Amazon. (I can upload it, if you're interested?)

[sherry57.livejournal.com]

Now I would love you to do that hon...you would definitely go to the top of my favourite peron's list!!!!

[sherry57.livejournal.com]

Of course, that should read 'person'....but my excitement at the prospect of seeing the film made me write too fast!!

[bluespirit-star.livejournal.com]

Completely understandable. *g*

The file is pretty big, so I'm having to split it & I'll upload the pieces. You'll be able to recombine the pieces with HJSplit (it's free & really simple.)

It'll be tomorrow now by the time it's all uploaded. I'll make a post with the links. (Fingers crossed LJ doesn't go down again! If it does, I'll PM you with the links.)
