Friday rambles

[dbskyler]

Now that I've figured out the html code for posting a picture on LJ, I have to see if I can manage to get the lovely illustration that tempestas_inu drew for me of a scene from "Miles from Aberdeen" onto the fic itself at Teaspoon. Wish me luck!

Changing the subject completely, but has anyone seen Casanova with David Tennant? I just started watching some of it, and it's a bit of a trippy experience -- like watching the Tenth Doctor pretending to be a Venetian womanizer. I've seen David in other roles and never before been reminded of the Doctor, but there are so many scenes in Casanova where he sounds exactly the same, it just keeps hitting me in the face. I suppose it's not too surprising considering that Casanova was written by RTD, and David used the same accent for both roles (or close enough to my ignorant American ears), but the result is a very surreal experience.

And that's it for the rambling. I'd love to give an update on my writing, but it's currently dead in the water again. I'm busy tomorrow, but I'm going to sit down on Sunday and see how much of a marathon session I can pull off.

I totally meant to reply to this but I ended up not.

I feel like a whiny record! Hope it's not coming across that way. No it's not, it's totally fine, sometimes its good to vent, and I really don't mind.

Thanks for the links! I'll check 'em out. Funny, I got a Hamlet book for school the other day. I'm no longer taking the class the book was supposed to be for but I kept it for reading on my free time.

As for Casanova... I'll heed the warning, though its not like I haven't seen rated R stuff before :P.

LOL . . truthfully, the sex scenes are a very small part of the show, and they're mostly played for humor anyway, but I like to give people fair warning of what they're in for, especially as this is an unlocked journal and you never know who might be reading.

Indeed, indeed.

Unrelated to Casanova, but because I had also mentioned Hamlet and have no one else to say this to I'm just dumping it here. Like, literally moments after I received your reply, I ran into an old English teacher of mine and we chatted, and Hamlet came up because, like I said, I was originally supposed to take a class that went over that book. I just discovered my english teacher LOVED David's version of Hamlet XD. I mean, I guess its not too surprising that she saw it considering she *is* an english teacher, but it seemed kinda weird/neat to me.

Oh, you should absolutely watch David's Hamlet! He really makes the material come alive -- the whole production is fantastic, in fact, but David in particular is amazing. I'm not at all surprised that your English teacher loves it.

Speaking of non sequiturs, I should let you know that I have managed to successfully add your wonderful picture to the last chapter of "Miles from Aberdeen" on Teaspoon. Hopefully you like the way I credited you, but let me know if you want me to change anything. The picture still makes me smile every time I see it.
