Shakespeare Re-Told is on tonight. I’m looking forward to it (Billie Piper is in it, for one thing) but a small part of my brain -the one that’s been doing English Literature for six or so years- is saying crossly, ‘But you *can’t* re-tell Shakespeare. Shakespeare’s language is too darn pretty-it just won’t sound right if they’ve changed everything. You’ll probably hate it!’

Anyone else watching it?

OMG first Spider-Man 3 picture. (er, spoiler?)

Also comic-book related:

Has anyone here ever read Watchmen? I picked up the book in my school library, read it once and didn’t get it, read it a couple more times and loved it. Doesn’t seem to be much of a fandom for it, though, but I did find a usenet conversation from 1986. Which was two years before I was born…

Still. Really ought to take it back to the library soon…

Geekiness

SW Fandom Friending Frenzy. Go make friends! :D

You know you’re a complete geek when you’re typing in your livejournal wearing a Star Wars t-shirt, and still squeeing over the fact that your Doctor Who scarf came in the mail today*. :D

*Disclaimer: It’s for a costume for my school’s annual charity week. I’m hosting a treasure hunt, too. It’s not at all to do with the fact that I really want to wear a DW scarf in public one day.

I need to do another icon post. Maybe there’ll be some along later.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt

Yesterday my website went down, slightly inexplicably. I was so close to going round to every screencap/icon post I’ve ever made and saying ‘No! Don’t delete it, they’ll be back up soon!’ but thankfully I was spared. XD

Anyway…yes, I am back. I had a very nice time. Rode both Star Tours and Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland- and bought the t-shirts- and went to Disney Studios, which rocks. And used two diposable camera’s worth of pictures, and saw the Effel Tower and the Notre Dame Cathedral. (Pictures coming soon. How I wish I had a digital camera…)

Oh, and my friendslist went back to about 780. :) Now I must go post at sw_awards…and enter the sw_eu_stills contest too.

HOLY COW BRITAIN GETS STAR WARS III ONE DAY BEFORE THE US AND THAT JUST HAPPENS TO BE THE DAY I’M OFF SCHOOL OH JOY.

I apologize for the caps, but…squee! I’m still waiting for someone to come along and say ‘Um, NO, actually.’
