Hello

I'm still officially on LJ/internet hiatus but I had to pop on a do a quick flyby post because I finally got around to seeing the BBC series of Neverwhere

It was a bit weird, because I'd read the book first I had a specific idea in my head what all the characters looked like. Some of them were pretty close (Richard and Door) and others were WAY off (The Marquis and Croup and Vandemar). Lamia would have been great if she wasn't being played by Tamsin Grieg. She will always be Fran to me. LOL.

Other than that it was pretty good. A shame they only had a very small budget. But you never know, if Stardust is a big success they might decide to remake it for the big screen.

Best: "That angel must be evil. The actor always plays evil characters."

Shocking: (When Islington is still in the shadows) He can't be an angel! He's black!

Yes, Andy is without a doubt the most un-PC friend I have

Busy

I'm going to Bury St Edmunds tomorrow afternoon to visit one of my friends from Uni and I'll be back on LJ/IM properly when I get back on Sunday night

In the meantime jacqui_hw and I have been planning our time and the next few months are going to be crazy busy. I've just been invited down to London at the start of September to see Derek and bornmiddleaged. It'll be nice to spend some proper time with them. Last time I saw them was when I was going to the Film and Comic con to stalk see Nathan so most of my time was spent there rather than with them.

September is going to be an expensive month though. drbillbongo will be arriving on the 20th and I've got my birthday party on the 16th *wibble*
