O cruel world...

fan_eluneI'm more and more heartbroken at not having seen more of 24. The list of actors I love that those guys have in store is just... Plus, Carlos Bernard. I wanna see more of Tony.
On a less melo-dramatic note, I have my tatoo! Yay! On the ankle, though probably higher up than you picture when I say ankle - what can I say, I'm a sissy. Pain is not my thing. Anyone who got a tatoo before would like to share their experience? Just drop me a line on my e-mail. I wonder how long I should keep rubbing cream in.
Friday night was amazing. We went to a Belgian beer bar (Belgian applying to beer and not bar) in Altrinchan (South of Manchester) and... I'm not the type to overly like beer, but I will never thank the waitress who advised us enough. The beer I drank was a-maze-ing. She described it as "beautiful" and I thought it was a bit of an exaggeration... before I tasted it.
Then we headed to a couple of colleagues' place for digestives. Stuart treated us to some fine whiskey, I don't think I'd ever liked whiskey that much. Talisker. Oh wow. Also, Stuart has an impressive collections of DVDs (some French and some German, too) and CDs. He listens to some very good music. Nikki, his girlfriend, is an English teacher. It's good to be able to talk to someone about Shakespeare and have them understand what you're ranting on about. It had been too long. She's also very nice on a general level. I'm looking forward to maybe seeing more of her. They were both quite cool with learning about me and Jo, too. Friday was really a great night.
On Saturday we went and saw Vanity Fair. It was a good entertainment, though it would have been much more interesting if Becky had not been likable. And Jonathan Rhys-Meyers (sp?) can play a delightful jerk. Also... I still wanna carry James Purefoy's babies. I'm so putting him on the list with Joss and Drew.
Which reminds me, the Ultimateness that is Drew is also writing an episode of Lost! (I'm sure we can thank the magnificent David Fury for that.) Picture me squeeing in fangirlish glee and anticipation.
Other than that, I'm well enough. I have a bit of a cold but it's no big so far. Can't wait for sis to be here next week. There seems to be lots of persons getting heart attacks these days, for some reason - relatives of staff. Makes you think about how quickly those things happen, and sometimes how unexpectedly. Makes me wanna hug said relatives but well, we're not in the US. I can't just hug people I ultimately don't know that well at all. Can I?

How does yours look like? I chose mine just because I found it beautiful; I don't know at all if it has a meaning...

(And I was so not expecting to find such a close shot of it on Twixou's NY photos entry! Kinda lucky there.)
