The state of me

hildy89So I've had a longer week than intended. My parents came into town for their usual round of doctor appointments and catching up with family. Then Friday I came down with a dreadful cold/allergy attack that sapped all my energy over the weekend.
What did I do with my "free time"? I watched two movies. One was Dirigible, a 1931 movie directed by Frank Capra and starring Fay Wray, both prior to their rise to fame. I was more interested in the pretty airship scenes than the Hollywood love triangle. So much for being a romantic at heart. I also finally watched "Casino Royale" with Daniel Craig. I quite liked this incarnation. Sauve, but lethal. It was hard getting attached to the romance, though, knowing the original story.
It's October, so I've signed up for another round of Nano. Friends of mine can sigh dramatically "Of course you did". The Nano journal is over at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nanonano. Most years it's just me talking about the writing process and updates with the occasional friendslocked excerpt. Last year I did ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
mini_nanowrimo, so who knows.
I also signed up forbigfinishlove's Doctor Who Audio Ficathon, so I spent some of this weekend lining up my ducks on what canon I'd require. (I actually like the "Recommended canon" section of the signups. While it may seem narrow, it does let you know what your requester was thinking when they signed up. Not sure if that'd work or hurt for other ficathons.)

Date: 2007-10-17 02:35 am (UTC)As I stated before, you're not the only viewer of "Dirigible" who was bored by the love triangle and simply enjoyed the pretty airship. (And the painstaking polar-expedition effects--I goggled at Robert Osbourne's anecdotes about the technical work.)
And... *dramatic sigh* Of course you did. ;Þ
