Bluespirit

For sherry57 & anyone else who hasn't been able to get this wonderful little gem of a film*.
Or anyone who's fed up with me waxing lyrical over it & just wants to see what all the fuss is about. *g*
Or anyone who wants to see a beautiful young!Alex using his own gorgeous Aussie accent...

*I bought my copy from Amazon & it's one of the best £3.99s I've ever spent! \o/

+ 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...



( another view )

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*

Wow, yesterday was just such a great day.
After weeks of writer/artist block, I was suddenly able to be creative again. It felt so good. I made the new American Romance cover & worked on my story for pennyplainknits's exciting fic project. It just felt so joyous to be doing something again.\o/
I went to bed with such a happy buzz - & then saw these! More shots from the Australian GQ photo shoot!

Fnnngh! What a way to end an already amazing day! :)



Unlaced boots! \o/
I know someone else who does that (& also drives me insane.)



( More O'Lough )

*guh*
Different boots but still undone. How - why? - is that so sexy?! I don't know, but it's just so totally hot!
*flails*


Oh, & hey - I'm still being ridiculously happy & smiley every time I get new mail & Alex says, 'Hey, baby girl' to me. *g*

From Twitter:

danieldaekim: Scott Caan quote of the day: "I WISH THERE WERE BULLETS IN THIS F*CKIN' GUN." #H50

LOL
I'd love to know the story behind this. The O'Lough up to some shenanigans, maybe? *g*

I am in such a great mood! \o/
I have about a million things to do today after the last few weeks of moping around in a pit of despair. I may won't get everything done, but I'm going to try!
I think some peppy!Steve (okay, it's actually Alex *g*) might help...

Sooooo.
I may have just ripped The O'Lough saying 'Hey, baby girl' from 'The Invisible' & then set it as my email notification. I may also have sent myself an email so that I could hear it & then squeed like the embarrassing twelve year-old girl that I clearly am.
Maybe.

Oh, & I saw this over at AOL Rocks & it just made me go all melt-y. ♥




I'm assuming it's from this photoshoot, but I hadn't seen it before.



Fnnngh! That pouty lower lip!

zinfic & I had a little 'OMG lookit those lips' kind of convo the other day over this cap from that ET behind the scenes vid:







And then I happened to stumble on this while I was perusing pics for my previous post:



Fnnnngh!!!!

Dear god...
Sometimes a cigar is most definitely not just a cigar. ;)



Credit: siriaeve for the Scotty cap & I can't remember where I found The O'Lough pic. AOL Rocks maybe? :(

So, here's my latest salvo in the on-going 'Operation: Distraction By Pretty'!

The CBS Watch! feature on 5-O is now online here.
I've checked with my print copy & all the text looks to be there (some of the pics are missing, but they're all available here at AOL Rocks.) :)

Things that made me smile & grin like a smiling, grinning fool! ♥

This:
O’Loughlin read with a whole raft of actors—“a lot of really amazing, really well-known guys”—and still found himself flying to the Pacific Rim without having met his new co-star. “All of a sudden we were here in Hawaii, at the table read for the pilot, and they’relike, ‘Oh, this is Scott,’ ” O’Loughlin recalls. “And I was like, ‘Uh, hi, Scott.’ He’d just landed, and we got in the van and drove to the table read. He was texting his new girlfriend at the time, and I was like, ‘Really?’ ” O’Loughlin chuckles at the memory of it. “But I realized in that moment that, OK, this is cool. We just riffed. The bromance began.”

( more cuteness )

Teasing & bromance & just, just... My melting little fangirly heart can't take it! *g*
And really, how adorable is The O'Lough with his antics?
*meep*

Heh, & then there's the behind the scenes segment from ET!



Oh, my - there are a few shots there that I really, really wished had made it into the mag. Scott in a tub? Yes, please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fnnngh!

As per the usual 'in the event of a catastrophic youtube failure-global zombie apocalypse-yadda, yadda, yadda', I've snagged the vid, converted it to .avi & uploaded it for saving. :)

And because Dot is mentioned, & there's nothing happier-making than dogs, here she is!



And now, I wish we could just see a pic of Scott, Alex, Dot & Alex's new pup, Reggie. ♥

I'm home from a fabulous, pink & sparkly weekend with my lovely, lovely xanthelj.
I had such a great time, though I'm sure we fell through some kind of time dilation field or something because no sooner had I arrived on Friday than it was Sunday & I was leaving. *g*
We saw 'Legally Blonde - The Musical' at the Savoy & it was a really entertaining, feel-good production with lots of energy & pazazz. There were also two dogs in it & that made it even more fabulous. ♥
It was lovely to meet up with gloria1 & starbuckssue for dinner, too.
So, a smashing weekend of chatter & laughter.

Oh, & Xanthe had got a copy of 'Watch!' & very kindly gave it to me!
This one...



( moar! )

And a few other happy-making things:

+ This very lovely & funny Steve/Danny fic: The Tale of Sleeping Beauty, or A Marriage of Inconvenience by azziria.

+ New H5O tonight/tomorrow! \o/

The trailer looks so awesome!

( cut for spoilers )

+ The very thoughtful sherry57 sent me a link to some promo shots for ep 1.20 “Ma Ke Kahakai” (airs Apr 11th) by way of a little distraction, & I also found a quick ep summary:

( omg! )

+ JFlan's latest film, 'Ferocious Planet' which airs next month...
*pause for happy-dancing*
... is available for pre-order at Amazon! \o/
I know it's probably going to live up to its pedigree of being a 'SyFy Original' but I don't care. *g*

Yay! Many, many happy-making & much-needed-distracting things (which is terrible English, I know, but just this once I'm going with it. *g*)

*hugs flist*

As part of my continuing love affair with 'Oyster Farmer', here are a couple of interviews that I found online.

Alex was still going as Alex O'Lachlan when he made this film (though the presenter in the second clip gets his name completely wrong! *g*)
He seems a little less polished than in interviews now - which is frankly adorable - & I love it when he talks about how he's an Australian bloke. :)



I snagged this & converted it to .avi as usual (to save in case of a youtube meltdown/global zombie apocalypse/etc. *g*)

I haven't been around much lately (on-going health issues that no one wants to hear about!) but I woke up today feeling a lot brighter & am making the most of it while it lasts.

So, things that have made me happy lately:

+ This awesome & hilarious song vid by elandrialore: Me, You and Steve

It's just so 'Yes! That's totally what's going on!'. *g* I love it.

+ And then this awesome & hilarious song vid by drkquail: Carpe Diem

Again - so exactly what's going on. ;)

+ The lovely & wonderful xanthelj sent me flowers. They're pale pink tulips & absolutely gorgeous. They also came with a fabulous & funny 'Steve & Danny Get Hitched' card from Moonpig! ♥ It lifted my whole day.

+ News that my TV girlfriend (Tricia Helfer) is in a film with Scott - & it looks amazing!



+ This very cool interview with JFlan. Smart is so sexy! Rowr! And that dry wit, too. Mmmm... ♥



+ And last (though very, very not least *g*) THIS!



Just... just... I have no words...
