Writer's Block: Fearsome

[Error: unknown template qotd]Oh come, on  -- surely it was the same for everyone!?

DALEKS!

Writer's Block: Know by Heart

[Error: unknown template qotd]Well this is embarrassing.

(I'm only posting these Writer's Block things coz I'm still snuffly...)

"Just a perfect day... Drinks and gravy in the park, then later when it gets dark, we'd go home."

I thought it was odd, but then, Americans ARE odd. Hell, they have biscuits with gravy, so perhaps it was something like that. I only found out what it really said about three years ago. I still sing my version.

I think the best one (not my version, but a version I saw on "Never Mind the Buzzcocks" was Phil Jupitus' version of "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

"With the lights down, it's Las Vegas
Here we are now entertainers
I keep two pigs, in containers,
Here we are now, entertainers."

You'll never sing the right version again.

Talking of singing - the best lyrics to The Trumpet Voluntary are: (learn 'em because you'll love to sing them when you know them.)

"Moses supposes his toeses are Roses,
But Moses supposes Erroneously,
Moses he knowses his toeses aren't roses,
As Moses supposes his toeses to be!"  AH. It's not the trumpet voluntary. What is it? ETA: Mozart: Horn Concert #4, K495 -- Mvt 3 hurrah!!!!

SIMPLES!!

this won't be at all funny to anyone not in the UK who hasn't met Aleksander.

I really mustn't make myself laugh, it only ends up with five minutes of choking.

*choke choke choke*

Being Human-thoughts

It's one of the best things on at the moment, so I'll certainly keep watching. If the rest of the world isn't showing it, I'm not really surprised. Lots and lots of sex! :) There's even a certain amount of slashiness, but done in a good way. I predict real gay characters at any time.

Am still enjoying it, but certain things are bugging me.

Don't Divorce Anyone

I'm sure a lot of you have already seen this. but Campaign for Courage has the most wonderful images I've seen for many years. Hundreds and hundreds of people who simply LOVE EACH OTHER. No agenda, no motive, no race, no subversion. Just love. Just family. Commitment.

THIS IS THE SLIDESHOW. There is a shorter video at the end.

http://www.couragecampaign.org/page/content/dontdivorce

Set the slideshow in motion and just absorb the pictures. These aren't people trying to clinch the limelight, they are people in love. People with families. Images that can make a difference. A wave of love, that perhaps, for once, can make a Difference.

Don't Divorce Them.

Family is family. Haven't we already been through most of this fight? Black, white, brown, 'yellow' - humans are able to love--so what does it matter what they have between their legs? When you make a friend, what's the first thing you do? Reach down to their groin to find out what sex they are?

One of the most touching pictures in this slideshow is two white men embracing, and two black children, imploring "don't divorce our dads."  One of the most touching. There are hundreds and hundreds more.  Let's hope it reaches a million pictures, let's hope it does some good. Let's hope that John Lennon was right - that would be good, wouldn't it?
