(no subject)

Well, I still don't have LiveJournal, but I achieved soup, which is something. For various reasons, I can't be particularly productive on the pc just now, so lack of LJ continues to be a pain. In the meantime, I played with random generators (because what else do you do?) and got this:

250) His Counterfeit Condesa by Joanna Fulford
The Major and the wild English lion
Major the Ninth Doctor does not approve of Wellington sending a man on a perilous mission across French-occupied Spain, but he can see that Mr Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart is no ordinary fellow! The marriage-shy major and the English lion must pose as the Conde and Condesa de Ordoñez, travelling to a high society ball, and soon Nine doesn't know what is more dangerous — the menacing shadow of French patrols, or the sensual torment of sharing a room with this tantalising charmer…



Which is kind of priceless, I have to say. I think that may win the random generators contest for today. (Can you see the Brigadier's face?)


And then I looked at the contents of the Royal Exchange Theatre tag on Tumblr, and it really is rather cool. (I am still curious about how a round theatre like that actually works, but it is obviously cool, look, so I can feel happy about how obviously I like the best people, even if nobody else has heard of them. Well, until I go on about them till everybody goes zzzzzzzzzzz...)


And, er, well, yes. Then I made a post? Hopefully productiveness will be a thing later, and maybe tomorrow LJ will come back to me and there will be joy in the world and all that. It's all right today, though. Yesterday I had my thing where I get very panicked and upset when any of the things I can still do reliably gets taken away from me. I'm very fortunate in many, many ways, but that's a thing that happens for obvious reasons.


There might be posts like this every day, sorry. A person has to do something and I already made soup and sugarless scones and that's kind of exhausted the immediate cooking options. I read too much of my book yesterday, so I mustn't read any more today. I may be driven to go and watch that other thing I obtained with James Maxwell in, if tomorrow I have blood tests and still no LJ.


ETA: Also watched this vid. It's very cheering:

The Royal Exchange Theatre is AMAZING. I have been a lot and it can be quite hard for the actors doing a round production but it actually works surprisingly well most of the time. It's a small space with a good acoustic so even when they aren't looking at you, you can hear them. You have to plan your productions a lot though - seeing them do Little Shop of Horrors was really quite interesting (you can't hide the stagehands so you have to make them part of the production)

*hugs* I have a similiar burst of horror when stuff gets taken away from me. It's horrid and awful but you will be okay. Promise. Should we start linking to random stuff you might like to read? (usually my way of coping with a lack of LJ ...)

Have you tried clearing your cache of cookies? Sometimes that can help pages to load if they're not loading for you but are for everyone else...

I remember when I converted that prompt, thinking "Do I need to make 'Conde' and 'Condesa' follow the characters' gender? No, it's funnier if they don't." And sure enough...

Depending who draws the short straw, I can quite see Nine turning up in his usual leather jacket and announcing that he's the Condesa de Ordoñez, and he's got psychic paper to prove it.

What a wonderful video! It reminded me of a series of videos made by someone who travels around the world and gets people to dance with him. Here's the one from 2012 (the most recent one I can find). There really are amazing, positive forces for good in the world:

I love the Counterfeit Contessa! The mind boggles.

Good job on the soup, and on making me laugh out loud with the sexually-charged adventures of Major the Ninth Doctor and his sensual torment problems. I hope you get LJ back soon, or feel a little better, or both!

I frickin' love that video and song, so much so that I've now become a huge fan of the group.

I hope LJ stopped screwing around with you. Take care ♥
