Please don't mistake that subject header as being relevant to this post at all, I was just watching 'Coupling' recently and it was an observation.
ANYWAY.
Hello flist! Happy new year and relevant holidays et al, hope your festive break was full of family, friends and foods!
My Christmas and New Years eves were particularly nice with my immediate & step-family and a few of my chosen family, respectively. The former involved a lot of ridiculousness & silly gifts and a disconcerting conversation about race and privilege with my brother. The latter involved watching (most of) Titanic and eating all the nommiest foods and drinking and mocking Leo which are all amongst my most favourite things to do. On NYE we also each made a list of things (strictly between the three of us) we wanted to leave behind in 2011 and then burned 'em, which was cathartic. I burned my thumb whilst doing that which was sort of typical. It's scabbed up and feels like a wee callus, but you know, it's healing. And if I decide to take up a life of crime, that's one less part of my fingerprint I have to burn off.
Ergh.
I am house-sitting at the moment for my aunt & uncle and cousins who have gone to Canada to ski and other things energetic types do in the snow. Their house is huge and has glass windows and doors all down one side of it, and dogs who bark at everything so I get freaked out most nights thinking some serial killer is going to break in. But the upside has been having a pool to swim in every day in the gross heat (which finally subsided today, hooray), and pet lizards to prod and be slightly afraid of, and a gigantic TV that has the pay teevees on it, which means whoseline and lots of movies. I have watched so many movies. More bad ones than good ones, but still catching up on movies I've been wanting to see for ages is good. Though inevitably I can't avoid the ones that are about love and all the things I don't feel like I have at the moment, so I have found myself getting emotional. And even though I have been walking (even on the hot days) and the rellies are visiting frequently for swims and chats, I am feeling a bit isolated and getting a bit discombobulated and eating a lot of food that is really not good for me. A WHOLE LOT OF RED BULL AND LARD, BASICALLY. It's a bad time of year to feel outside of familiar surroundings, so I am really looking forward to be able to move into my new Willy digs in a couple of weeks and give Monkey all the squishings, and walk to the beach, and just settle down into some sense of familiarity & normalcy.
Back to work next week! Which will help with that. I am also going to try and get involved with one of the amateur theatre groups in Willy and have received a script from the director of the next play they are putting on to look at. I want to get involved for several reasons, primarily because I miss live theatre, but also to push myself a bit, give myself something besides work to focus obsessively on, and to potentially expand my incestuous friendship group a little.
All of that said, this guy sent me the script last week and I have only printed it out, I haven't even looked at it. So... take everything I have just said with the same grain of salt you should take whenever I make grand plans. To add to the grain of salt list: I am thinking of going to NZ (preferably Wellington) in a couple of years to sate my wanting to work inthe UK another country thirst. Again, we'll see. One never knows where one will be in a couple of years, or how many teeth or internal organs they will still have left.
In conclusion, this.
ANYWAY.

In conclusion, this.
You know, obvious shipping preferences aside, the reason I love this gif is because of how truly, disproportionately wounded Arthur looks.
Arthur: There's someone in our helicopter :(
[Arthur's eyebrows deflate slowly]
Meanwhile, Cobb is all "What do we do? Do we wait for the next helicopter?"
And then Saito is like OH FUCK, DOESN'T MATTER, YOU BOTH FAILED. AGAIN. GET OUT OF MY SIGHT.

Oct. 30th, 2010 05:45 pmHAY GUYS HAY GUYS
Remember when I was in whoseline fandom? Remember how I used to write lots of fic? Remember how me and Caelith (?) used to fight all the time and this one time she said to me I HAVE AN ILLNESS AND IN TWO YEARS I WILL BE DEAD I HOPE YOU ARE HAPPY (or something along those lines?) and I was like I FEEL STRONGLY THAT YOU ARE LYING TO ME (or something along those lines.)
Well, I just went and checked up on my old friend and I guess it's A MIRACLE, because she's ALIVE AND WELL and in Supernatural fandom, looks like. Whatever, I didn't stay long, I just wanted to be smug and right.
AHHHH REMINISCING ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
I wish I could still write like I used to be able to write, though. By which I mean: a lot.
In other news there is no other news.
Actually no, that's not true. I went to a cousin's wedding last weekend which was lovely and cute (if cold) and saw Rufus Wainwight on monday evening in St Kilda with a friend. It was really stripped back; just him on stage with his piano AND IT WAS PHENOMENAL. I cried twice but I think the highlight was when he sang Halleujiah on stage with Princess Leia. Everyone went nuts. And I buzzed all the way home.
And Inception needs to be out on DVD now, so I can watch it ten frillion times. And maybe it will also motivate me to FINISH THIS GODDAMN FIC.

Dearest darlingest Inception Fandom,
You are not outputting the Arthur/Cobb/Mal fic at the rate which I require it.
Which is to say, daily.
DON'T MAKE ME COME OVER THERE.
Yours in entitlement,

Unrelatedly: Here is a Peter Gabriel cover of Street Spirit (Fade Out) that I uploaded for Lieselesque, which I thought you guys might also like.

hello internets
Sep. 15th, 2010 10:09 pmI know I haven't been updating properly or regularly for a very long time, but you see, I've been very busy trying to fit THE ENTIRE INTERNET in my mouth, so you know, not much time for other things like talking or sleep.
I have also been writing a lot, a lot of fic, which I have then been promptly dumping in the recycle bin as I have not fic-written for a year and while the enthusiasum and mojo is generally there, the self-confidence is not so much. So possibly sometime in the future there may be an Arthur/Cobb fic on the journal, but it is also quite likely I will just whine about it a lot and then find something else shiny to play with.
Speaking of Arthur and Cobb, I have a post on them coming soon (I just typed that "coming on them soon" Heh. I'm twelve), but in the meantime, I have uploaded the Arthur&Cobb song that gets the most play on my itunes when I'm writing about them (and which I intend to vid the crap out of when Inception is finally out on dvdvd) (and which is a great song even without the brain association):
The Boys Are Too Refined -- The Hush Sound.
Enjoy!
In IRL news, the other day Monkey filtched an (unused!) monthly awkwards pad out of my bag and shredded it open and then it stuck to the side of his head and he ran around the house like a nutter with the pad stuck on his face. I LAUGHED, because it served him right, the little fucker. Also, some work... I went to work. And I was sick with a cold and a tummy and god this is dull. Surely no one has read this far down have they?
Also I have a tumblr now. It's cool if we don't talk about it.

Sep. 6th, 2010 11:40 amLast night during the intermittent bouts of sleep I did get, I had a dream (a dream a dream) about Joe Gordon-Levitt. Oooh, oooh Claire! I can hear you saying. Claire! Was it a sexy dream?
Of course it fucking wasn’t!
I dreamed that we were hanging out and we decided we wanted to watch that movie Enchanted. But instead of renting it, or downloading it like normal people we decided the best way would be to go door knocking and asking people if we could watch it on their TV. We spent a very, veryvery long time knocking on doors, searching for someone with this movie until Zach Braff (?) finally let us in and we sat on his floor and started watching it. I don’t know if my brain was too lazy to dream the actual movie, or if I was just SO BORED BY WHAT MY SUBCONSCIOUS THINKS IS VALID DREAM ENTERTAINMENT, but at that point I woke up.
Good story, am I right? Christopher Nolan couldn’t write that hot shit.
I think it means I need a haircut. And a dye. I’m feeling the urge to go back to bright orange. Or as the French people call it: bleugh bleugh bleugh.
Yes, I am a racist French people, but you bring it on yourselves.
Is it time for your scheduled boring Claire update? I think it is.
I’ll try to be brief.
Last night I fell on my face! Because my leg was asleep and I didn’t quite realise until I’d flung myself out of my chair and it folded under me like one of those noisy musical things. My ankle made this amazing crunching noise! And I laughed because what was that?!
I feel like there should be a sitcom about me sometimes. It would just be me falling over in my living room, and writing fanfiction on the internet, and occasionally having stomach pain so bad it sets off a severe panic attack and I have to call the ambulance. (Again!) Occasionally, I could say witty things like “What is the DEAL with furries?”
I LOVE INCEPTION YOU GUYS YOU GUYS INCEPTION I LOVE IT. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THIS:
WHO KNEW LEO DICAPRIO COULD BE SUCH A BOUNDLESS SOURCE OF ENTERTAINMENT? NOT ME!
But now I know better. Anyways, I’ve seen the movie five times now, but I think my favourite time was actually the fifth time, because due to circumstances unforseen, it was in a tiny overcrowded cinema, squidged in a two person seat with two other people (that’s three people in a two person seat, for those of you that have trouble with counting) and yeah, so being in a cramped, ridiculous and already v. amusing situation, I could NOT STOP LAUGHING. I laughed at ALL OF IT but ESPECIALLY DICAPRIO'S FACE. And then when I would stop laughing, one of the friends that I was tucked into (and possibly making sterile) would show some signs of life and set me off again.
Right, this entry is getting way too long and inane so the rest of the update will be in point form.
Things which I am also currently doing when I’m not falling over:
That’s quite a lot isn’t it? I mean, relatively. That iron IV must actually be working for me or something.
I’m going now. I leave you with this.
Of course it fucking wasn’t!

Things which I am also currently doing when I’m not falling over:
- Working
- Sleeping
- Fanficting (ARTHUR/COBB FOREVAHHHHHH)
- Pottering about with other projects that I’m too self-conscious to talk about but might eventually
- Hangs with chums and happy clappin' family members
- Giving myself emphysema (Probably)
- Plotting trips.
- Plotting to see Inception again before it leaves the flickers
That’s quite a lot isn’t it? I mean, relatively. That iron IV must actually be working for me or something.
I’m going now. I leave you with this.
Hello, flist. Today I spent a big chunk of my day getting an iron IV infusion at the hospital. It was not a horrible experience, by any means, but there were a lot of visibly frail and sick people with needles in their arms in the same room with me and yeah, it was fine, but brought back a few bad memories and I left feeling a smidge frayed at the edges.
ANYWAY. I have been assured the iron will make me feel all virile and full of energy soon, but right now I am very assuredly tired (and just had a very strained conversation about politics with my littlest sister) so instead of talking about anything of substance I'm going to take the low road and post some Inception macros.
( Some of my favourite Inception macros, and other random Inception related pictures. Just because I can. )

renne and feminesque.
I HAVE SO SO MUCH LOVE FOR THAT MOVIE I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU (AND ALSO SO MUCH LULZ*).
I was going to write up a bunch of rambley stuff I like about Inception, but then I came across this post and I think (while it gives Nolan maybe a little too much credit) it hits on a few things I love about the potential of the movie and the ideas and how much fodder it has (I'm going to say probably inadvertantly) given fandom.
( Spoilers, obvs )
And now I'm going to go, as I am running quite late for a cocktail party.
*I fear we were those obnoxious kids in the cinema. You know the ones? Laughing loudly at The Motherfucking Dicaprio's face and saying things like "These are all my jars of wee", "emo corner!" and "I AM DISAPPOINT!" just that smidge too loudly.

Me: Ren showed me that [Joseph Gordon-Levitt] "Make 'em laugh" clip from SNL that I linked to from my twitter -- did you see it? It is fucking insane!
angstslashhope: [~Some time later] I watched it. Totally ridiculous!
Me: WTF IS IT WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN SING AND DANCE AND DO FLIPS IN THE AIR WHO ARE ALSO RIDICULOUSLY GOODLOOKING AND NERDY AND WEAR SCARVES AND LOVE BIKES IT'S JUST SO DISPROPORTIONATE
angstslashhope: It's a good thing you don't live in Fitzroy...
Me: I'M SORRY [HOPE], I DON'T THINK I ALSO ACCIDENTALLY TYPED "PRETENTIOUS VEGAN HIPSTER" AS ONE OF MY REQUIREMENTS. ... BUT IF YOU CAN FIND ME A PERSON WHO CAN RE-CREATE JGL'S VERSION OF MAKE 'EM LAUGH THEN I AM ALL FOR IT. MAKE SURE THEY CAN DO THIS BIT: http://i35.tinypic.com/2e0o26r.gif
angstslashhope: I think there was a boy on the tram the other day in baggy lycra fisherman's pants doing that.
Yep.
That is pretty much how every conversation with me goes at the moment. I've gone wrong.
Next post I am going to tell you all about my deep, pure and slightly shaming love for Arthur/Cobb.
I BET YOU ARE EXCITED.

Aug. 5th, 2010 10:08 pmThanks for the emails and messages re: last night's post. They meant a lot and I aim to reply to them very soon.
Stopped moping for a bit and went and saw Inception tonight with HLC-W. In short: Enjoyed it. Though I needed to wee about ten minutes in and refused to leave because I might miss "something important" and then spent the last half hour in full-bladder-induced agony.
( A few other (not deep) thoughts )

better out than in
Jun. 28th, 2010 11:05 pmOkay now, seriously you guys, The Rusty vs Mofty thing is getting REALLY. OLD. You know what? When I realised that all I was doing was bitching about, getting disgruntled and bitter and squee-harshing all over Season 5 of NuWho? I bowed out of the viewership and STOPPED TALKING ABOUT IT.
Critical deconstruction and comparision is inevitable. Desirable, even. However, if you feel the only way you can possibly express your joy for Season Five, is by incessantly and unrelentingly disparaging everything about Seasonof Donna Four (and other Seasons or Spinoffs that are very near and dear to my heart), then let's face it, eventually I'm going to punch you through the internet.
Warned.
Also Mizzle apparently has a direct link to my brain because she just sent me this link. Aw, my bbz! So much better than awful Eleven and Amy, amirite?!
So what I did there? Emphasised a point with very little grace and dignity is what!
I was going to update you guys on my life, health and etcetera someplace in this post, but there's quite a lot and I don't want to give myself a heart attack right now so next time, perhaps. Goodnight.

Jun. 26th, 2010 08:56 pmIt's funny re-watching The Big Bang Theory from the beginning (which, amongst other things, I have been doing today [surprise!]) -- because in those first episodes Sheldon actually seems more socially aware --more "straight guy" (calling Leonard on his wanting to sleep with Penny -- more concerningly knocking on doors like a normal person and letting Penny sit in his spot for several minutes, albeit grudgingly). I think this probably is expecting too much from an American Sitcom (tm), but it seems like the writers realised where Jim Parson's strengths were and where the funny worked and just went further and further into more socially-oblivious, narcissistically bitchy, pathologically neurotic territory. Which is my favourite kind of territory.
I'm so easy for weirdos.
AND JIM PARSONS IS ADORABLE LIKE A BEAN. A LONG, GANGLY MAN-BEAN ♥
But yeah, it's not all that clever, it's basically TV junk food. But it's so tasty and happy making! And they make jokes about things I get! And no one dies! So I think I'm going to paddle about in it for a bit.
Any fic or vid recs or RELATED THINGS I MUST SEE, flist? I lean toward Sheldon/Penny, but I'm in that nice, slightly-giddy stage where I'll pretty much take anything.
[I also want to write fic where Sheldon Cooper, Gwen Cooper and Lauren Cooper are actually related and have adventures. !! Imagine how amazingly dysfunctional they would be. Lauren would be all "Regardez, est-que mon visage bovvered?" and Sheldon would start hyperventilating because she's doing it again and then Gwen would tuck them into her bed and read them old welsh stories about aliens who live in the sun. It would be BEST EVER ♥ ♥]
Also, I set up crossposting DW stuff earlier today, mainly out of boredom. And now I feel the deep, deep shame that only comes from relenting on an issue that had no legit reasoning behind it so I'd rather not talk about it if it's all the same to you.

[I also want to write fic where Sheldon Cooper, Gwen Cooper and Lauren Cooper are actually related and have adventures. !! Imagine how amazingly dysfunctional they would be. Lauren would be all "Regardez, est-que mon visage bovvered?" and Sheldon would start hyperventilating because she's doing it again and then Gwen would tuck them into her bed and read them old welsh stories about aliens who live in the sun. It would be BEST EVER ♥ ♥]
Also, I set up crossposting DW stuff earlier today, mainly out of boredom. And now I feel the deep, deep shame that only comes from relenting on an issue that had no legit reasoning behind it so I'd rather not talk about it if it's all the same to you.
