"One must be for ever drunken: that is the sole question of importance. If you would not feel the horrible burden of Time that bruises your shoulders and bends you to the earth, you must be drunken without cease. But how? With wine, with poetry, with virtue, with what you please. But be drunken. And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace, on the green grass by a moat, or in the dull loneliness of your chamber, you should waken up, your intoxication already lessened or gone, ask of the wind, of the wave, of the star, of the bird, of the timepiece; ask of all that flees, all that sighs, all that revolves, all that sings, all that speaks, ask of these the hour; and wind and wave and star and bird and timepiece will answer you: 'It is the hour to be drunken! Lest you be the martyred slaves of Time, intoxicate yourselves, be drunken without cease! With wine, with poetry, with virtue, or with what you will.'"
--Charles Baudelaire

Just a quick note to say that yeh, am still alive, and that the bloody phnet email account is full up and bouncing like fuck (AAAAAAAAARGGHHH, I have missed Freedom City posts, sob, snivel). Can't do much about that right now--I'm returning to Finland tomorrow but will probably get online on Monday at the earliest. I haven't been bothered to charge the mobile either but yeah, I'm not dead yet. I think I've been online only once or twice these past two weeks--one of them was spent in Portmeirion, yay, lovely weather, lovely photos, will post them at some point. Peace, love and Dim Parcio. And the rest of the time watching stuff with Frank. Lots of Avengers and whenever I could, the Gareth things [info]watervole sent us for DVDing. I think I may put that bit of Country Dance online on divx or summat, BECAUSE.

Gareth Thomas.

SINGS.

in WELSH.

TO CHARM A LADY.

Yes. I fell back on the sofa gasping and seeing stars, I swear my heart and lungs just STOPPED WORKING at that moment. Ee. EEEEEEEEE.

Righty-ho... *fans self* off to see if I can work out how to play the Doctor Who collectable card game with the Mole... I've shown remarkable strength with refusing to buy all the current series tat that's in the shops... a kiddie calendar! "Draw your own Doctor Who monster!" EEE! I can just about say no to Eccles and The Bloody Slitheen but I'm not sure I can resist Ten. Fnarrrr.

Damn, I need a better sheep-worrier Daddy icon.

Gareth Thomas does singing in welsh? You should put this online and kill the world dead. This is nearly my most needed thing in the ENTIRE WORLD.

Also you are okay. This is good.

But what if I get arrested for attempted terrorism since it's potentially so lethal? It nearly killed me ded, so you might need to dig out the heart meds too, yes.

The DW tatt brings me GLEE!! But when Tennant stuff comes out I will quite probably not be able to stop self Squeeing Terribly in public, oh noes.
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 05:25 pm (UTC) (Link)
And I thought the Nine squeeage was bad. I'm expecting lots of pierced eardrums by the time Ten gets going. Just from the squee, that is.

Hm. Doctor Who And The Fangirls. The Doctor travels into the present wearing a young, handsome appearance. He logs on to Livejournal and is instantly drowned in a tsunami of squee...

Yayness, you live!
And you're returning to Bay City!
I might be there some time next week because of having to do a bit of enamelling in the bigbig kiln we have at polytechnic...
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 05:25 pm (UTC) (Link)
Yes omg.

AND COME HERE NOW OMG YES. I need someone else to scritch the cat, my arm's getting tired...:):)

Glad you're alive and have been in Portmeirion. Did you see your Dad?
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 05:27 pm (UTC) (Link)
Saw Dad earlier today when we wrangled the cat home. Of course, if it weren't for his parking time running out, he would've scritched the cats forever...

*licks your icon a bit*

Good to hear from you! Not to worry, I'm sure somebody can send you the FC digests when you get back.

And I want a Doctor Who card game! Waaah!
kalypso_v From: [info]kalypso_v Date: August 20th, 2005 03:49 pm (UTC) (Link)
I can do them back to July 27, if that's any help.
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 05:34 pm (UTC) (Link)
I think I have the digests on another email count, unless gmail has suddenly died... Love the icon too, hee.

The DW card game was incredibly complicated to start with, with lots of debatable rules (and you know how easy it is to get Who fans to argue...) and dodginess.

F: "I love this game. Ben goes to hang out at a gay bar, gets nicked and sent back in time and goes to jail for being a poof, then Petey and a bunch of Greek soldiers join him for a gangbang..."

K: "Speaking of which, my Delgado Master has gained Ainley's TCE and is pointing it at your Doctor."

F: "Nah, Pertwee just looks worried 'cause he's being rogered by a Sea Devil there, you see."

K: "Ok, you've got Barbara and Jo in the gay bar now? Sorry, my Daleks are exterminating them with a Death Ray."

F: "Bloody Death Ray. Froze my Cyberarmy."

K: "Boo fuckin' hoo. My Colin laughs at you and uses your Cybermat as a beer coaster."

And so on and so forth... 8-) As you can see, the frustration with the rules makes the game moves rather silly in the end. ;)
astrogirl2 From: [info]astrogirl2 Date: August 22nd, 2005 06:57 pm (UTC) (Link)
I want this game even more now. :)

And the icon is by [Unknown LJ tag]. Is it not lovely?

Aargh. [info]calapine. It's by [info]calapine. :)
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 07:00 pm (UTC) (Link)
Eep:). She is very lovely, yes, and I will hug her for you if I manage to drag my bones to Connotations:).

Eee! The Grouse is alive! :)

Thanks for the Prisoner card, too, it rocks. :)
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 05:37 pm (UTC) (Link)
And the Grouse has landed!:)

Sorry for not sending you more Priz tat, didn't really know what to get for you two, since some of it was a bit crappy. There were fridge magnets but they were of rather poor photos, in fact all the Priz cards they sell at Portmeirion have crap photos on them--Number 6 frowning in longshot or an otherwise weird angle and stuff. I'll get number badges for you next year if you like (yes, they have number badges, with 6 and 2 and 1, or the text "I am not a number" on them:D)...
astrogirl2 From: [info]astrogirl2 Date: August 20th, 2005 07:08 pm (UTC) (Link)
Oh, btw, I just sent out reminders about the Zhaan ficathon (deadline is still Sept. 9), but, of course, your mailbox was full, so it bounced. D'oh! Anyway, consider yourself reminded. :)
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 05:38 pm (UTC) (Link)
Phew, haven't missed it, then. *cackles evilly*
astrogirl2 From: [info]astrogirl2 Date: August 22nd, 2005 06:59 pm (UTC) (Link)
Not at all! Looking forward to seeing what you write. :)
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 07:02 pm (UTC) (Link)
Oh no, you won't be:). I just looked at it again and it's even more purple and surypy than I remembered. I blame this on Zhaan Being In Love With Aeryn or something. Auuugh.
vilakins From: [info]vilakins Date: August 21st, 2005 12:40 am (UTC) (Link)
Yay, it's you! I'm glad you got to Portmeirion and had a great time there.

Hey, what's your Gmail addy? Coz I'd have mailed you if I had it; I knew the other one would fill up. "Just another tiny little text e-mail, Mr Creosote." In fact, Gmail is excellent for FC stuff what with the huge storage allowance and the threading; worth swapping to for mailing lists and LJ notifications.
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 05:40 pm (UTC) (Link)
Gmail is just snowgrouse at gmail com:). I thought of you lots when at Portmeirion, wish you were there:)!
vilakins From: [info]vilakins Date: August 22nd, 2005 08:40 pm (UTC) (Link)
I thought that was your addy but I wasn't sure. I'll have to add it to my contacts; I had three for you but not that one.

I wish I had been there! Did you run along the beach with a white balloon tied to your leg? I was so tempted to buy a Rover at the shop there but I thought the cats would puncture it. :-P
snowgrouse From: [info]snowgrouse Date: August 22nd, 2005 08:45 pm (UTC) (Link)
They had Rovers? Bastards! I never saw one:). I did some running along the beach and waving my fist, shouting that I was not a number:). I didn't see any crabs this year, boo hoo. But at least the moleys got to have a good quarter-staff fight in the gardens again 8-).
vilakins From: [info]vilakins Date: August 22nd, 2005 08:59 pm (UTC) (Link)
It sounds wonderful, and I bet the weather was nicer than the grey day we got. I'd love to have run along the beach with you. Greg's the major Prisoner fan but he's too shy to do loony things like that.

They had 6-foot and 9-foot Rovers (all flattened and packaged) in the shop and I thought Greg should have got one, but he said it would frighten the cats. Probably right: they hate my huge blow-up hammer a la 'The Wall' which squeaks when you hit something with it. I've never even threatened the cats with it but I think they hate the squeak and they equate the sheer size with mass.

i'm glad to see you're okay! xxx

Eep!:) Pretty pictures of North Wales coming soon:). There aren't many places in the world that gorgeous. :)
