"It's easier to go up if you think you're a monkey."

1. Snakes on a Plane? I genuinely enjoyed myself. I'm wondering if I should feel ashamed about that.
2. After rewatching The Modern Prometheus, I'm convinced that it's Adrian Paul that has a thing for the goat. He is, after all, the director of the episode. Byron... *sobs*
3. Does anybody read the Authority? Anybody that's interested in online RPing? Because we've got the Midnighter and Jenny Quantum already, and we'd love an Apollo to complete the family. Or anybody at all from the Authority. We're not desperate for more Authority fans, we just love those guys that hard. The World Hero Network: comic book heroes unite!
4. Serenity Cubed minus 12! God! And they still haven't announced the party themes. What's up with that? Now, who do you think we'll get as a bonus? Both Nathan and Alan seem to be woefully unemployed right these days. I could also do with a Jonny or a Chris.
5. Jewel Staite is love.
6. Alan Tudyk has given me a neck fetish. (See icon!) I can't stop noticing Peter Wingfield's.
7. I've been reading the flist pretty assiduously for the past few days. I think I'm back!
8. I wish I could do something for Joey's throat, damnit. Anybody has any miracle cure for Sore Throats From Hell?

Woo hoo! Serenity Cubed!! Apparently Nathan was contacted about appearing, but he's busy :( I was pretty much planning on him being there, serves me right.

Jonny, on the other hand, I'm crossing my fingers for. Should be a good weekend nevertheless, I'm looking forward to it. I've come back to the UK and reality with a big bump and the more fandom distractions, the better!

Damnit! No captain. Alan, Jonny, Chris? It's up to you guys.

But either way it'll be great. I can't wait to meet you! And Charlie, maybe, at last. ;) God, I'm so psyched whenever I think about it. Heeee!

It's going to be a very, very cheap weekend for me, which is good. I have to cut down on a lot of events this year (mainly conventions) :( I won't be getting any photos with anyone, and as all the autos are included, I shouldn't spend too much cash. I'm really looking forward to seeing Mark Sheppard again, I ADORE him!

And of course, your good self :) Charlie and I will be there on the Friday night, we may not make it in time for the opening ceremony but as there's no-one new there it's not too much of a shame.

God, me too. No pictures either this round, which sucks. Mostly I'm here to have a blast at the parties and love the hell out of the Q&As.

Oh, and lust shamelessly after Gigi.

That and geek the whole weekend long with the most wonderful geeks this side of the Atlantic. I'll be looking for you guys! *bounces!*

Gigi - never seen her in anything, not met her before either. But apparently she's a good guest, and that's fine by me. This will be my last Starfury Con until May 07, I think...then it's the Prison Break Con for me! Yay! Robert Knepper in the flesh!!!!

Oh, you'll find me near the bar, as always.

[stands up from metal, folding chair and clears throat nervously]

"Hi, my name is [livejournal.com profile] khylarenelf, and I liked Snakes on a Plane."

I too feel some kind of weird shame that I actually liked that movie - I laughed or shrieked through the whole thing. It was fun. Definitely a guilty pleasure type of movie.

"Hi Khylaren!"

I thought that honestly, for a movie of this sort, it was actually well written and well enough acted! It made me laugh and start and stress and even feel for those guys. I fell for most of their cheap tricks and why? Because they didn't take themselves seriously.

(I will never stop loving your icon.)

Earth clinic suggests gargling cayenne powder for sore throats, amongst other things.

[identity profile] fan-elune.livejournal.com 2006-09-03 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
She says she refuses to gargle anything else. We were adviced salt water yesterday and it then hurt like a motherfucking bitch, instead of simply 'like hell.' I think she might be traumatised. Thanks!

I enjoyed Snakes on a Plane very much, but I don't feel ashamed because I was amused by it so greatly.

[identity profile] fan-elune.livejournal.com 2006-09-03 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Not ashamed either! Just wondering if I shouldn't be. I really didn't expect to enjoy it that much.

Ack! If only I had money... I would love to meet this man.

Heh! That's a very good place to be. I tend to be on the dancefloor, more. (We're in the meet'n'greet first night, though.) I'll send you my cell number at some point. Texts make meet-ups so much easier.

I didn't either. I went into it thinking it was going to have no plot at all. I was really surprised it actually did! And anything with Samuel L. Jackson zapping snakes with a tazer has got to be amazing.

"8. I wish I could do something for Joey's throat, damnit. Anybody has any miracle cure for Sore Throats From Hell?"

Hopefully it's not useful anymore, but it seems that lately my mother have been doing some "décoction de ronce" when my sister's throat ache, and she pretends it works.
When she said she's gargling it, I asked if that was the only way to use it and she said you can also drink it (but I suppose it's less efficient?).
