No, Ryan ryan_beaches and I are not 'dead' or otherwise gone. Just unaccustomed to the online world, for the most, these days. Bloody annoying, isn't it?

We still pop in from time to time at both Yahoo groups and here, though! Especially for those occasional good reads of blogs, list posts, fanfic, interesting feedback and so on.

The latest diversion we both enjoyed greatly was friend Marilyn's mistressmarilyn manifesto for the Gamble/Street slash pairing. I wouldn't have thought such an essay could be so entertaining! Ryan read it first and then steered me to read. Very good stuff.

We naturally ran out and got the DVD of "SWAT" to watch, so we could enjoy seeing this slashy pair. I have to admit the subtext was literally screaming! (And Colin Farrell certainly seems perfect to pair off with other men, regardless of his protests against the practice.)

We loved seeing Farrell and Renner interacting in the extras section. I should think we'd see more Farrell/Renner slash around! (I seem to recall reading one somewhere though. Perhaps over at the Colin list at Yahoo? Anyway, they seem quite the thing to me!

Speaking of Farrell, we had to plunk down cash to buy both versions of "Alexander" when it was recently released. After all, how could we miss seeing what Stone decided to cut? Ha!

I don't care how bad that movie was, I still love seeing those attractive men. I personally thought Farrell did a good job as Alexander the Great. But it's all a matter of opinion, I suppose.

Well, I've changed my LJ appearance. I decided to go with a background that could tile and would load quickly and easily. That way I can change it out whenever I feel like it. My dandelions seem attractive, I think!

Back to work. (That was my lunch break.) I'll need to try and read and catch up a bit later...

(I wonder if I'll ever write here enough to warrant going paid again. I suppose not, but you never can tell!)

Now I need to try and get used to tags. Bloody hell.

Cheers!
