Mixed bag today

Big shock to hear about John Peel. Damn. I really can't imagine radio without him, he was just so recognisable and just there all the time... *sigh*

Can't quite see 'Home Truths' working without him.

On a far more shallow note, my day was brightened not a little by pretty pics from Whendonesque of the High Stakes party. (Link from flaming_muse, hope it's okay to post here too.) In particular, these pics here and here make me consider the possibilities of yet another slashy Whedonverse pairing...

And as thebratqueen says, It's Not Real, but, still. It be very easy on the eye :)

ETA: Why I still think Knox can't be all that bad. This picture post from 'Angel's Soul Board' is just hilarious. A poster went to a convention. And took along a doll of Spike and a voodoo doll of Gunn. The results were wonderful :)

Squeeing madly at photos here. You are such an enabler. Thanks for linking to them.

And I share your sadness about John Peel. He will be missed.

OMG! Get out of my brain! I thought the exact same thing about the 'new slash pairing'! They look so damn cute!

John Peel is a radio DJ. Used to work on the music shows, and then more recently also started presenting a show called 'Home Truths'. He was really good at spotting new talent and playing their records on air. He also had this wonderfully destinctive voice - gravelly and always speaking with a perfect deadpan.

Been around for ages, so lots of people heard him here in the UK at one point or another :)

[lonelybrit]

LOL! Yep, they are wonderfully 'enabling' photos, aren't they?

And yes. Radio won't be same without Peel there. He really was unique. *sniff*

[lonelybrit]

I know! They just... go together so well.

*blinks*

Who would have thought it, but... damn. *admires pics*

[lonelybrit]

LOL, I kinda want to watch Firefly now just so I can see what character Nathan plays - and then I can see if I can figure out a way to slash them... because, damn it, someone should. Just look at that pic. Yes, it may not quite be Wangel, but it sure looks nice :)

[skroberts]

Alexis and Nathan?! ::dies::

::hugs you for the pics::

[skroberts]

I've having a field day with my Firefly DVDs at the moment. If you have not seen it, you must. Mal is a whole lot more fun that Caleb. :)

[lonelybrit]

Ah yes, beware, they have eyelashes... LOL!

They are very lovely pictures, aren't they. I so envy the people who were there! :)

[skroberts]

OMG, the eyelashes... ::dies::

I think Nathan's are longer than Alexis'!! But AD's eyes as a whole are beyond gorgeous...

Oh, I'm *so* sad about John Peel. Radio won't be the same without him. I had to turn the tv off this morning as I kept getting all teary over the tributes that were being read for him ;(

But! Those Jonathan Woodward photos are hilarious!

Nah, Angel's too busy with Wesley. Now, hop on

Hee! He knows.

[lonelybrit]

hehe... yeah, how can you hate a guy who acknowledges the inescapble truth of Wangel! LOL :)

[remember-nomore.livejournal.com]

Ahh...
*light bulb goes on*

I see said the blind one.

In case you want to check out the eps before buying the DVDs (which you so will do for all the extras and commentary and stuff), you can go here.

I really love Firefly and you really should check it out.

And I'm sorry for still not having read your fic. I only heard good things about it, but I just can't find the time or motivation to read something at the moment. But you are almost on top of my things to read list.

Why am I not surprised about this new slash couple??!!!

But yes I do have to agree there are some interesting possibilities!!!

I finally read all of Pet, it wasn't as harsh as I was expecting, but I do now have funny imagery in my head.
I also started reading Protocol, you're right this has much more to it and hence can go weirder and wackier places!

About Friday I don't know what time to turn up? 3ish or before? Or later? Maybe they register everyone first and then say ok? What to do? Woe is me?! (is that the right spelling?)

I'll call you tomorrow.

[lonelybrit]

The organiser has said that tickets will not be sold on the door... *sniffle*

I'm not sure what to do. I have to work until 1.30, so will probably get there about 4ish. Donna will be there later. I suppose you could try turning up at 3, see if anyone's selling them on the sly, but I don't know how likely that is, I'm afraid. *huggles*

And yes. Protocol is of the lovely. Fluffy and hot and sweet and angsty... *sigh*

[lonelybrit]

Oooh, thanks for the link! :)

And no worries about the fic, read it when you want to, LOL!

*hugs*
