Started what seems like a thing with Sophie doing Bible Study. Today we read Ester - and continued proving Sophie's theory that Satan really doesn't want me to have anything to do with religion, as my brain started skipping half way though. Anyway! Ester. Fun, kinda WTF, but that's just people relations from 3000 years ago. Next time: a gospel. Any recommendations?

Then we went out with some of her friends to the Turkish restaurant on 4th Street. Good food, good company, except the waitress didn't bring us the check for a half hour even though we asked for it three times.

And, I figured out how to put up jhava's mood theme that would make it show up. And I added a few pictures in, as the zip I downloaded a long time ago is missing "enraged" and a few other angry moods.

Plus, I just read a shiny new Joel Hodgson interview. Fangirl bliss? Yes'm!

If someone manages to link up Jack from De-Lovely and "Lead Tenor" from The Producers so that they're the same person, I'd love them forever.

So what that Jack in De-Lovely was in 1932 and the Producers was in 1952? ( Summer of 1952, as Funny Boy closed on June 2. Or so says the musical's program. ) Has John Barrowman aged a lot in twenty years? No! Jack could totally be both parts.

I would say "and Jack from Doctor Who" but I already know unfeathered is working on that for tardis_bigbang. And, godspeed and *hugs* for that.

Something Bad: John Barrowman isn't going to be on BBC Radio 2. *wails*

Something Weird: I left a note describing my disappointment that I wouldn't be able to hear him on the radio. I don't listen to him on the radio, I listen to the streaming broadcast from the BBC site. Somehow, "radio" just rolls of the tounge a little better than "streaming broadcast." = P

I have the the magazine!

Only on the first trip I found that I had forgotten my wallet when I was paying for magazine, so I had to trek back. When I realized when I was pulling out my keys for the door that I didn't have my student ID anymore.

So while I has a John Barrowman interview, I cannot has food from cafeteria. = (

But even though I read all the interview and even made a layout of one of the photos, why didn't anyone say that the one with John and the pool is part of a photo story? The Jack quote actually has context! The story is about vampires in LA, being swank and luring their victims in then draining them of blood and tossing them into pools. All the quotes come from "The Secrets of Summer" by Bret Easton Ellis - except the final Jack quote, natch.

In other words: the world needs a story about Torchwood and classic vampires, preferably starting in a rooftop pool in the middle of Cardiff - or if the Welsh are far too sensible for that sort of thing, London.

Persistant image of the day:

( the cool kind of RPF )

I don't know why I keep going to Borders when I know they don't have OUT in. Maybe in another week or two - but it's better than Barnes and Nobles, which didn't have the magazine series at all.

Though I did pick up A Brief History of Time and The Universe in a Nutshell for $15. They're good! Really! Don't let nattering about as Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem and P-branes throw you off - it only contains one equation, and it's E = mc^2.

And I got a whole bunch of research on Pterosaurs done. ( And learned how to spell Pterosaurs! ) The world needs more Myfwany fic, and I don't think I can write things about her without knowing some background information about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pteranodon>Pteradons</a>. Now, off to "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry." I heard it's terrible, but I want to see it anyways.

John Barrowman has maybe spent a little too much time on the set of Torchwood recently - he's started to dress up like Derk from "Teenagers from Outerspace"!

miss_zedam posts pictures of him and Scott at the Cardiff Mardi Gras, where the unfortunate scifi crossover took place.

Luckily, there was no duck tape seen. Though there is this little black number... = )

I started watching "The Friday Night Project" this morning, and had to stop a little way before I was half way though. It was just... too much, too early in the day.

John was good, of course. I was pleased to know that he did in fact wear a kilt at least once to a formal school function. And he shaved his legs in advance!

Honestly, it was too fucking early for that many gay jokes. You think after being in one of the queerest tech crews in existence, I'd be more comfortable, huh?

It's nice to know that whatever fandom I happen to be in, Tom and Crow will always come to my rescue over mediocrity and bad writing. Such as this little gem from the Daily Mail:

John Barrowman has won fans on both sides of the Pond. And, discovers Sara Sands, the Anglo-American star is divided by other things too - including whether or not he and his gay partner should adopt a child.

Tom: I'm glad that it emphized him and his gay partner, because if it was he and his straight partner, things would be kind of awkward.
Crow: Maybe they thought that some of their readership might be confused on whether Barroman's husband Scott Gill was really a man?

And that's when I gave up on reading the article. But I'm told it contained further delights, such as the paper consistently calling the charecter Barrowman plays Jack Harness. The riffs almost write themselves!

But tomorrow at 8 AM on BBC Radio 2: JOHN BARROWMAN and MUSICALS.
