brain fried!

[erastes]

argh! just had a caffeine drink. serious mental bouncing going on.

I couldn't resist it. It was called "Relentless" (how sexy is that) is all green and black and gothicky AND it had a Wordsworth quotation on the side.

Just had a flist pruning. I only pruned people who had defriended me or those who I'd friended and who had never friended me back so I don't suppose anyone's sobbing in their beer. If you are, let me know and I'll buy you a new one and put you back.

King Solomon's Mines is on. I just love Stewart Granger. I can't help it. It makes me want to put on a safari outfit and go all girlie in his arms. I love the way his directors ALWAYS manage to get his shirt off, no matter what the film. (or is that my imagination?). The other chap in this isn't very bright. "What does a water hole look like?"  That's the kind of stupid question I get asked at work. If you don't believe me then ask canaries_chick - yesterday she was boiling the kettle for our tea and super-brain from IT comes up and asks: "Is that your water?"  I don't know how she refrained herself from a smart answer. I wouldn't have been able to. OMG Granger just said "this is where the fun begins..." I wonder if that was where Lucas got it?

Been to the library and got: Farseer Trilogy Book 1 - Robin Hobb, Fire in the Flint -Candace Robb, Raven's Gate - Anthony Horowitz, and Joy in the Morning - Wodehouse. (like I needed more to read, right.....) While I was there I was giggling at a book I found called LORD OF THE LIBRARIES!  (Obviously this is what happened to Sauron after being vanquished)  *snorts* Fear him with his thesaurus and his mighty tome of Shakespeare!  Wince before his knowledge of the Dewey Decimal System!  Cringe as he indexes!
*bouncing off walls* woo!  Caffeine!!

Caffeine is great; I only usually have 'proper' coffee at weekends and I go all silly. Today we went to get new settee covers. The girl ask whether we had stiffened vallances and I disgraced myself with giggles.

Stewart Granger. *sighs* In our church there is a memorial to a Lt Ramsay St Clair Harman of the RHA who died age 27 in India in Victorian times. I fantasise about him - I bet he was the SG type.

I can never get enough Wodehouse. There just isn't enough Wodehouse. My only problem is I start talking and writing like I've been reading Wodehouse, and for a girl from suburban California that isn't a very good thing.

BTW I just finished the Jamie Craig historical you blogged about and while I'm in no position to judge it's historical accuracy I found it a good read. I like her (their) work a lot. People should fly their books to you on little angel wings instead of wondering how many people visit your site. The people who count visit your site.

Thanks to you I've ordered Isherwood, and am looking forward to it. I'm certain your musings sell more books than you imagine.

I drink a lot of tea during the week, but that doesn't seem to affect me, but that drink really buzzed me. It certainly didn't help me focus, despite the tin's assertion that it would, I was just super speedy in my "OOOO shiny"

With a name like that... I would imagine he was perhaps a little more John Barrowman?

I keep meaning to start to get them all!

I've read the first few pages of the Craig novel and it looks pretty good!

I hope you like it, it's very sad, and a refreshing viewpoint - a man in his late 50's early 60's.

I really wish I could find out anything about him at all. He was born at Cawnpoor and died at Peshawar which makes me think of Kenneth More and North West Frontier...*sighs*
