Party time again!

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

As you know, Gemma hunted down Blake's 7 for me, and I'm currently in the process of watching it whenever I can. I'll soon reach the end of Series 1 and so far love it. Hey, it doesn't have subtitles (well, only Dutch ones, which aren't any help), and I still can understand the actors... most of the time.

I'm sending the twins your way with the flask. *points at icon*

Some people even share their birthday with my beloved Grandpa... *hint, hint*

Oh fantastic! So glad you like it! I know by modern standards it's quite slow and dated, so I can never be sure whether people will like it. But it's brilliant you're enjoying it! They're mostly theatre-trained actors which probably helps. (Gareth Thomas - playing Blake - went on to the Royal Shakespeare Company after B7.)

I can direct to fanfiction if the need arises...

Hurray! Win win!

Surely between us we can smash 400 within the next 5-10 minutes?

Yeah, here too. At least during the day, when I've got to work, and it makes the kids totally crazy. At least it cools down considerably for the night, or I'd be in trouble.

Oh yeah, that would be the best gift, ever!

He's welcome to a big slice then. :)

Too bad, eh? But we can't blame him for trying.

It's been awful with one class: a choice between gently broiling for two hours, or opening the windows and not being able to hear over the rush hour traffic.

And, of course, last week the campus was evacuated because of a bomb scare... And I broke both photocopiers. This week has been much better.

And it's due to rain tomorrow. Hurray!

Yep, jelly babies are good! I like them, too! Does it make me a promising companion for Four?

Absolutely!

It would do you no harm!

Myself, I would like to travel with Five or Seven or Nine or Eleven. Or Two.

To count the 9th Doctor...

... you're fantastic!

Where would we be without each others' shoulders?!

I'm hoping it will be reasonably good - after all the are sequences that could be amazing on film.

Certainly the visuals were the high point of the LftR films :)

I must admit that I'm mostly reading for research purposes in these days. So, I'm still into "King Arthur and the Holy Grail", and another similar book, in the hope to push the Epic Merlin Fic (TM) forward. Even if it's just got Jossed. But I knew it would.

A milestone indeed.

Oh, we're good, baby, we're good! We've nearly arrived at 400!

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Darling, we're marvellous!

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2011-10-04 04:54 pm (UTC)(link)
And another draws near...
