time and relative dimension in space

Today I went to see the second national tour of Once.

( cut for length and gushing )

It's almost 9PM, I attended the matinee, I'm still very emotional about this show right now, okay.

Has everyone seen this picture? You have? I can't stop staring at it. MATT AND DAVID IN COSTUME TOGETHER *FLAILS EVERYWHERE* WHY DO I NOT HAVE VIDEO YET

... In other Doctor Who related news, the Internet has just informed me that starting tonight Arthur Darvill is playing the Guy in the Broadway production of Once, why is this not information that was given to me sooner (and why is it not being plastered everywhere this is some really weird publicity technique, Once, he may not be Tom Cruise or whoever but HE WILL SELL TICKETS).

Merry Christmas!

1) We did a small family gift exchange this morning and will have a small family dinner later today; the rest of the traditional family Christmas celebration is being postponed to early January, when the whole family (including both siblings) can be present. Yay! Gifts received included: The Swell Season on DVD, an Irish/English dictionary, hot chocolate, new boots. Very nice. :D

2) Yuletide fics are up! My gift is here, and it's wonderful; a Once/Doctor Who crossover, wherein the Guy encounters the Doctor after moving to London, and things proceed from there. I'm working my way through the rest of the collection now, but am still filled with glee by this one fic. ♥♥♥ (Also, my recipient responded positively to their gift, so that is also filling me with glee.)

3) Doctor Who. OH DOCTOR WHO. ( Doctor Who I don't know how this is being numbered: The Snowmen )

Tony nominations this morning!!!!

If you follow me on Twitter for some reason, you've already seen everything I have to say; if not it's behind the cut.

( cut for all the people who don't understand my obsessions )

If you want to see the full nominee list without my rambling commentary, it's here.

I'm really frustrated by the fact that I continue to have nothing to talk about, but, um, I continue to have nothing to talk about. :| So here's my, what, every-other-week post?

Um. I've started reading The Hunger Games because I need to continue my trend of only picking up popular media well after everyone else in the world. I'm enjoying it so far, so, yay?

The cast recording for Once has officially been released, and it is brilliant, and you should all go listen to and buy it now. I can't stop listening to "Sleeping". It's all just different enough from Glen and Mar's versions to make it Their Own while still being faithful to the source and I love it. I desperately want to get to New York and see this show live. (Um, how many times have you heard me say that about different shows? WELL I MEAN IT about all of them but especially this one do really well on Broadway please Once.)

I've been watching Smash? I don't know if I'd mentioned that before. But I've been watching it, and enjoying it in a cheesy melodrama sort of way. Megan Hilty = ♥, of course. I spend large portions of each episode wondering why I'm supposed to be rooting for Karen, who apparently believes that ensemble work is beneath her and acts completely unprofessional ninety percent of the time. And then there's singing! :D

The new season of Being Human is holding my attention more than I thought it would! Which, you know, I should have expected, since it's Being Human. But my brain was going "NO MITCHELL, NO GEORGE, NO NINA :(" and making sadfaces all over the place and not expecting to be drawn in as much. But I am! Hal and Tom are both lovely and Annie continues to be her fab self. Yay, show, you survived a major cast change few shows would be able to survive.

This feels like an awkward note to end a post on, but I can't think of anything else, so, uh, yes.
