On the occasion...

And so I begin the last day of my life as a 33-years-old. Wont make it back online before Sunday evening, either, in all likelihood, because Saturday will be spent by driving to the other end of Germany again, plus some birthday stuff, and Sunday with joyful washing and ironing. (Not.)

You know, being confined to a cell phone as a modem helps with staying spoiler-free. Which I am for Angel so far. Maybe I'll manage to keep my virtue until getting back to my regular computer and the ability to download? Which reminds me, I'd be very grateful to anyone who gives me the current bit torrent URL.

Note to self: must encourage bimo to make more comments about droolworthiness of guys or lack of same. It encourages discussion.*g*

On that note: most of the early complaints once the roles of Remus Lupin and Sirius Black for the movie version of Prisoner of Azkaban were cast seem to center around the fact neither actor, David Thewliss in particular, was considered sexy. I feel an unbecoming fit of glee and Schadenfreude each time I stumble across another "but why couldn't it be Ewan?" wail. Because the whole "Sirius and Remus as sex gods" fanon is almost as annyoing as Misunderstood!Draco or Magically Turned Into Prince Charming!Snape. Mind you, I'm not saying Gary Oldman can't be compelling. (Haven't watched Mr. Thewliss in anything, so can't make any statements about his acting abilities.) But, to use a bimo phrase, poster boy material he is not.

Speaking about people sans sexiness (to fandom at large), here are some birthday wishes. My wish list of some weeks back turned out to be fairly successful, after all - I got some URLs to not-shippy fic centred around Buffy Summers, and hobsonphile created a Londo, Vir and G'Kar archive. (Also, she has just posted another of the Five Things Which Never Happened To Vir which is positively heroin to the angst addict in me.) So, let's see:

- Ferengi fanfic! Preferrably Quark, but I'd be happy about stories centring on Rom and Nog as well

- Rygel fanfic (wasn't kixxa writing some longer thing? did I miss it due to cell phone confinement?)

- Dursley fanfic (not that there aren't some nice Petunia explorations written already, but it's still a tiny drop of water in the ocean of fanfic, and what about
Dudley-post-Dementors anyway?).
