birdsofshoreFour things which caught my eye this week:
1) New trailer for Ghosts of the Pacific, with Tom Felton all sweaty and scuffed-up and bearded? OH GO ON THEN, IF I MUST.
I don't think this film is my cup of tea at all, but I would do a lot for that beard, I'm telling you. Try here if the embedded video doesn't work for you.
2) I don't know if you've seen these, but they made me laugh: the Harry Potter films reviewed by someone who has never read the books or seen the films before.
This is what it's like to watch the Harry Potter films for the first time.
They poke a lot of (gentle) fun at the films, including the kids' acting, sometimes, so don't look if that might make you cry. ;-)
The link to the Chamber of Secrets one is here.
3) I apologise for all the links to buzzfeed, but I know a lot of you are, like me, intrigued by androgyny / genderplay. This collection of photos of drag artistes has a really cool feature where you can slide between the faces of the men without their make up, and then in drag.
15 fierce drag queen transformations
And finally:
4) Gosh, this had me hooting.
I must remember to log out of AO3 as often as possible, just so I get to click proceed and mouth silently "bring forth the tale of dicks" while I am doing it.
If you think I have been posting rather a lot this week, well, yes, it's a fair cop. I've really enjoyed it (and can only apologise if you haven't) but I'll probably dry up at last, now. Mr Birds was off all week helping with the kids because most of us were ill, and I felt too cruddy to write, so there was nothing much to do except read fic and talk nonsense on LJ. I'm a lot better now, though, and if I do get any spare time I should really spend it writing for some of these fests I have signed up for. O_O But thanks to everyone who has chatted with me - it has been a great distraction on some pretty crappy days. <3

They are hilarious! She fixes Harry’s glasses, and he realises he should have made friends by doing magic instead of spending several thousand pounds on sweets LOLOLOLOLOLOL. Plus, Draco Hair Gel. HA! :D
Brilliant! Thank you for sharing <3

Date: 2014-07-19 05:51 pm (UTC)And, indeed....bring forth the tale of dicks.
The HP film post was awesome!! <3 it so hard!! And it led to this: http://www.buzzfeed.com/jennaguillaume/this-game-of-thrones-fan-theory-will-blow-your-mind
which was a win/win!!
Seriously, you need to just keep posting more thinky/chatty posts; because it'a been all too quiet and boring around here lately! If everyone posted a thinky/chatty post once a week, it would perk things up at a time when some of us are stuck in the house due to heat and insane forest fires poisoning the air.

Date: 2014-07-19 06:17 pm (UTC)Contexts I can think of:
- Comment for those senseless guest-books they have in hotels
- Good thing to say when forced to say something into a camera (at a wedding e.g.)
- Good thing to say to shut up people calling uninvited to sell me an insurance or something
Thanks for giving me that, I didn't know I was waiting for it until I read it :-) !

Date: 2014-07-19 06:57 pm (UTC)I'd love to post chatty stuff every day... if you can just get me some childcare for an hour or two I'll get right onto it, LOL.
LJ's been a bit more lively lately though, imo?
Bring forth the tale of dicks!

Date: 2014-07-19 07:12 pm (UTC)Think of including it in a Kink-prompt... (tattoo, scar) - watch out for it :DD! Is "Forced tattooing" a kink? Now that I started that thread of thoughts, what about a Pansy dubcon getting a Ron-Ron-tattoo?
Sorry. Not funny. Sorry.
But...WAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sorry.
Sorry.

It'll come along. Maybe lj names choose us, like wands. lol

Date: 2014-07-19 09:55 pm (UTC)"Bring forth the tale of dicks" makes me laugh every time I see it, and yeah now I think of it every time I go to AO3 without logging in.
Glad you're feeling better now. <3

Date: 2014-07-21 07:46 am (UTC)Tom looks good, but an American accent on one of the actors that personifies a British drawl to me is all kinds of wrong.
I swear, if I could talk with a genuine British accent (any one, I'm not fussy), I'd never stop talking because I'd love hearing myself talking so much :D You know that scene in Love Actually where all the girls in the pub fall at the Brit's feet the moment he opens his mouth? That's me, lol ;)

I know! I seriously considered it, for either my main title or the subtitle thingy. But, like most people, mine have got special meaning to me and I didn't feel I wanted to change them. I changed my 'name', though - the thing that comes up if you get email notifications saying someone has replied to you. I change it occasionally but I think only
