I'm back in France, sadly, because I had the most amazing of times in Scotland.

I saw some gorgeous places and stayed in beautiful and interesting cities (Edinburgh, Inverness and Glasgow).

I had the chance to spend a lovely evening with the awesome marah_sarie and enjoyed some of the Edinburgh festival with the hilarious Scottish Falsetto Puppet theater and Rhys Darby's new standup show which was made of complete win.

I already miss spending so much time with fairy_bliss, abella_08 and angeliksmall, the breathtaking beauty of the Lochs, the LOTR-ish magnificence of Isle of Skye and most of all, the sweet sweet melody of bagpipes in the streets and men in kilts.

I'll do some sort of report with pictures asap.
Right now I'm going to try catching up with the Flist and squee over my shiny new Black Guardian Thrilogy which came by the mail while I was away (heeee ♥TURLOUGH♥)

My final two oral exams went really well and my course is definitely and officially over !
I'll know if I have that bloody diploma on the 8th of July and I'll still have to complete my apprenticeship since my contract ends at the beginning of september. After that I'll be able to know the joys of unemployment and job hunting ! *iz nonetheless stupidly happy*

So like I said last week, I took my first real opportunity of guilt free procrastination to make a new header. It turned out a bit angsty but hum, you know, omg *dies*

I was tempted by MGG and A2A but in the end old obsessions die hard and I am convinced that this header will be relevant to my interests til the end of the year, at least *excited grin*

What else can I say... I'm meeting with fairy_bliss tomorrow to see the Hangover and I'm going to angeliksmall's birthday party on saturday <3

I also watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (still <3) today and I intend to rewatch the other 4 before Half Blood Prince comes out.

Woot !

Ski week turned out to be made of 57 flavours of win. I remembered how amazing skiing can be and I am now sore like a motherlicker but I don't regret one second !

Mock exams went also well and were few compared to the amount of fun that came with it. I scored the highest mark of the class on the english oral presentation :D

I'm pretty much knackered at the moment and I won't have the courage to go through a week of Flist so if something important happened this week, fandom wise, I would be glad if someone could drop me a comment ^^


EDIT : and THIS MAN is my new hero btw.

Well done French National Train Company, you have outdone yourself in the worst possible way imaginable.

.... *claps*

I won't even say whose pic I brought to my hairdresser.

( I don't pick stuff up, I knock stuff down ! )

Fanturday tomorrow ! I'm seeing ephyse, jedicathy, tya_rc and fairy_bliss freshly back from Canada, if we're lucky. We will pick the christmas issue of NME, which has an hilarious photoshoot with the Boosh boys (all kinds of wrong = \o/) <3

I'm also on holidays yay ! I'm leaving for Manchester with ephyse on monday for our second Mighty Boosh trip (I quite like those, we should totally do them once a month from now on, right ? XD). We will come back on wednesday for christmas and then there's this little thing called the Next Doctor (D-6) airing the very next day, TEEHEE. I am really looking forward to next week.

WOW almost a whole week without posting. It must really mean that I'm kind of disconnected lately.

First week at school was not bad, I made two of my school friends meet mah beloved bunch of fangirls on friday night to see the Dark Knight (the fourth time seems to be my limit because I still liked it this time around but it felt painfully long again) and eat japanese and it went rather well :) Well I guess they were a little intimidated at first but the atmosphere was much more relaxed by the time we were at the restaurant.

I also spend a lovely couple of hours with ephyse all to myself on that same day and I can't remember the last time we really had a chat like this but it really was fantastic *glomps her other half*

I've started to rewatch House season 3 with my mum and the Tritter arc is still so slashy it's EPIC. It kinda fills the void til season 5, too.(D-9 !)

Yesterday I also spent a nice day with jedicathy and we went to see Deception with Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman.
The ending was pants but I really liked the rest of the film. There were some obvious clichés but it was nicely balanced by the awesome photography (some shots were *so* pretty !) and the flawless peformance of both Jackman as an asshole and McGregor as an adorkable loser. The first half hour was just made of fan service for slashers, my smile was so big it hurt.
It just too damn infuriating, and that's the first thing I told Cath at the end, that when a film is made about a twisted relationship between two gorgeous guys, you always have the obligatory useless pretty chick with no personality stuck between them. The film would have worked just as fine without Michelle Williams' character since the game between the two male leads was already enough to make the film interesting. And the ending wouldn't have been ruined.


There's also been quite a lot of cool things on the net this week :

Notably the *awesome* Who spoilers about the specials that keep on going. It makes me so happy and hopeful and the thing that excites me the most is not even ( Read more... )

The Sarah Jane Adventures series 2 trailer is A BIT MAGNIFICENT OMG ! Rock on, Sept 29 !

Fandom produced yet another brilliant fanvid, namely Martha > You which sums up the total pwnage that is Miss Jones in 3:10' of gorgeous editiing. Mathaaaa UNF.


The Mighty Boosh on Jonathan Ross was awesomecakes as usual. I *adored* that they chose the Massive Gheyist bit to introduce them XD
I really <3 Noel, he's not even manly when he plays football. Julian was adorable but really needs his hair back -_-
I am DYING for the Mighty Book of Boosh to come out since its awesomeness seems impossibly insane. The tour starts next week, I can't wait to be there !
I was also deeply amused but unsurprised that they chose Eels to perform on telly. Ju was sorchingly HOT in a Hitcher costume *_________*


And I will leave you with this hilarious morning discovery :

Hamlet, Facebook news feed style

Yesterday afternoon, I finally found the time to check out the new local tattoo/piercing parlor in my city and had this done :

( mah new piercing, let me show u it )

And last night, we went to see Penelope with jedicathy and not only was it the CUTEST. MOVIE. EVER., it was also cameo central !

Burn Gorman, Nick Frost and Russell Brand were all in it !

And Shaun Parkes (aka the tiemcock lover) was also in it, in a blink and you'll miss him kind of way (he was credited "reporter #2" XD)

I'm positive that we were the only two people in the room who did knew who they all were, because we were the only ones reacting each time (which wasn't at all surprising). We especially had a good laugh when Russell Brand appeared on screen.

Silly silly ignorant french people.

Oh and James McAvoy was impossibly hot <3


HAPPY DOCTOR WHO DAY FLIST !

I IS HAVING A BLAST !

STUTTGART IS AWESOMESAUCE AND ONE WEEK IS TOO SHORT !

The week seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye, I can´t believe tomorrow is the last day.
I want to stay one more week and keep having fun with the people in my class that aren´t sucky (fortunately they´re the majority) -_-
Tomorrow night we´re going to the opera and it will be a first for me.
I hope italian with german subtitles won´t make things too difficult to understand what´s going on... *snorts*


On the fannish front, HAI RICHARD AYOADE U IS PWNAGE X INFINITY.

The Abracadabra episode of the IT Crowd was the best thing ever, Moss is OMFG OMFG OMFG. That is all.

Just to prove my point in video format, one of my favourite Moss scene ever :

( Fire. Exclamation mark. Fire. Exclamation mark. Help me. Exclamation mark. )

Finding good Moss icons will be one of my top priorities when I get back.


My flist is killing me with all the Torchwood reviews that I can´t read, but at least what´s not under cut seems very positive, therefore I CANNOT WAIT to be saturday.


EDIT : I forgot, hilariously enough it´s almost impossible to find merchandising about Tokyo Hotel in Germany. Adeline was looking for something to bring back to her little cousins and we struggled to find one poor little poster. But see, I have passionate H8 for this band and it doesn´t improve the opinion I have about our country´s tastes when it appears that they´re more popular in France than in their own country of origin. LOL.

So this is my last post and then I'm off for a week to Germany with my school. Hope it'll be fun.

What's less fun is that I have to get up at 5.30 am on a sunday and that we'll have 10 hours of bus trip ahead of us.
So I just bought a portable dvd player and I was lucky enough to recieve the IT Crowd series 1&2, Nathan Barley and Garth Marenghi's Darkplace (if you're wondering, all these shows have Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt in them *junkie in need of a fix*) from amazon which make me HAPPY AS HELL. The bus trip doesn't seem so awful, suddenly.

Today I went to see Cloverfield with angeliksmall, jedicathy and vilyajade and I really liked it. ( Read more... )

Finally, I found the time to watch Ashes to Ashes and BOY WAS IT ORSUM. ( Not a review, just some things I love among lots of other things )

And on this high note, I'm off to bed. Good night flist :)
