There's something wrong with me

[kangeiko]

I think over-exposure to the Watchmen fandom has broken my brain. There I am, happily gorging on the good and the bad, and my subconscious comes up with this gem. "I don't understand Edward Blake. But I could. If he had a little more background, other than 'psychopath'. Hell, anyone could be reduced to 'psychopath'. Rorschach, for instance. Also, Adrian Veidt. And not just in the Watchmen canon, either. I mean, Batman. Or Punisher. Or Jack Bristow. He's even got the father-daughter issues. And -

*pause*

I wonder what he would have done if someone had dangled Laurie over a pit back before '77?"

Yeah. While everyone else is happily gorging on the pr0n, my brain decides that it wants PG-rated father/daughter action adventure (with an extra helping of angst). Srsly, this is why I'm not allowed to write any more. Or why I should be writing Alias instead. Gen Alias. With Sydney dangling over a pit and Jack riding to the rescue.

In non-crazy news, one more day at work and then I have Easter break, woo! I'm really looking forward to it. monanotlisa is visiting, and we are doing tea. Mmmm, tea. With champagne, naturally. Also, Good Friday is Judy Dench Day, with Madame de Sade in the evening, woot!

Tea and LOTS MORE! & :-P

[kangeiko]

MANY VARIETIES OF TEA, OH YES.

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

OH GOD TELL ME WHAT TO PACK, CLOTHES-WISE!11!!!

*fret*

It will be wet, won't it?

*sigh*

[kangeiko]

oh, poo, I think it will. And I had plans to wear my funky sandals, too! *le sigh* Bring ... something pretty and girly for champagne tea, it's that kinda place (linkie). And, er, moneys as well, for the place is mildly extortionate. Also lovely is The Wolseley, which is much less eye-stabbingly expensive, and also does a fab brunch. I was thinking - Easter Monday brunch? We'll probably have to book, tho.

I'd feel guilty about spending money, but it's my patriotic duty, etc etc.

And then there is the walking around and the looking at things. And church. So a good mix of, er, everything. (I may also have things that could possibly maybe fit you, if push comes to shove.) I'd say a good medium-weight coat, a pair of walking shoes, and a pair of formal shoes, are the necessities. *plots & plans*

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Boots instead of formal shoes, perhaps?

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

...oh, wait, that came across unusually dyke-y. & ;-)

[kangeiko]

Hee! Well, if you feel comfy in boots, then sure. I'm assuming these are heeled boots rather than Doc Martens?

But, er, not knee-high boots for church, it is somewhat conservative. (And for church, while I remember, a skirt or dress is a must...)

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Hrm, then I will bring extra shoes...a skirt or dress? BUT THE WEATHER WILL BE HORRIBLE!

(Mind that I ADORE dresses. I just get too cold.)

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

Heeled, yes. & :-)

And no, I'd rather bring more - but I can't; my trolley is tiny, and I have no other one here...

[kangeiko]

Do what I do - wear the heaviest things on the plane, and everything else will squish. I think the only thing that requires a skirt/dress is church, The Berkeley is formal but not ridiculously so, and jeans are uniform of the day for the rest of the time...

[monanotlisa.livejournal.com]

wear the heaviest things on the plane, and everything else will squish.

Already doing that. & :-)

And yeah, will start squishing now!

Please write that Alias story.

And are you in London?

[kangeiko]

I still owe people (including you) fic before I get to write the stuff slowly percolating. But - maybe...

And are you in London?

I am indeed, yes. And monanotlisa arrives tomorrow. When are you arriving?? Shall we do something spectacular? Will there be tassels? I love tassels...

If anyone could pull off that story, it would be you. Though you know what I'd find even more interesting? Laurie, after her discovery of the rape attempt (i.e. ca the era where she threw drinks in his face), rescuing him and having to deal with it, and the fact this also means she's responsible for his continuined existence and hence threat to the rest of the population. Because I have no doubt the Comedian would rescue Laurie - between the "his, you know, his old friend's daughter" and "only the once!" conversations, he's clearly sentimental about her, and I always thought it was fantastically screwed up that in Vietnam directly after shooting the pregnant Vietnamese woman when he turns Jon's reproach around and points out Jon could have stopped him at any time, he also includes this: "You're drifting out of touch, doc. You've forgotten what's her name, and soon, you won't be interested in Sally's little girl, either." So yes, he'd help her, no big dilemma there. Her helping him, on the other hand?

[kangeiko]

Her helping him, on the other hand?

Your brain is contagious. I have 2 pages written already. Mean, I tell you. Mean. It's not like I write Watchmen fic!

:) I'm glad to inspire.

[mizzykitty.livejournal.com]

wriiiite eeet! (either one) =D

[kangeiko]

Oh, God. *g* I've got something in the works, thanks to selenak prodding me with bunnies. Not sure if fic will come out of it, but there's stuff on a page, at least. :)
