Things that make me happy (Day 6)

[kaaatie]

Day 6 of the "things that make me happy" meme:

+ I'm still LOVING my new found Hard Core Logo obsession, and have been reading excerpts from Hard Core Roadshow: A Screenwriter's Diary (*).
+ I went out for yummy Indian food with some good friends.
+ We had Christmas crackers, and I got another bad joke that I found far too funny! (**)
+ My dad came over and mowed my grass this morning.
+ I got a Christmas card in the mail from sgflutegirl. Thanks hon! *hugs*
+ I found my left over Christmas wrapping paper from last year. (***)
+ I received a message from one of my US tour buddies. Another person from our tour is coming to Adelaide, so a few of us are going to catch up. Should be fun!
+ Tomorrow is my last day of work for the year!

(*) It's an incredibly interesting book. The screenwriter, Noel, seems to be a complete tool. He appears to have a fangirlish crush on Hugh Dillon (which is fine --- I mean, who doesn't!!), but he also seems to have a strange hate for Callum, and makes little bitchy comments against him. It seems like he's jealous of the friendship between Hugh and Callum; it's fascinating that he either doesn't realise or doesn't care that he's showing himself in such poor light in his own book. But maybe I'm just over-analysing the whole thing!

I must add that this movie has killed my productivity! For the last few days, my brain has spent at least 60% of the time thinking about that movie and those characters and actors. It's all so fascinating!

(**) What do you call a man with a paper bag on his head?
Russell.

(***) Usually I put it "somewhere safe", and then can't remember where until a few days after Christmas!

*raises hand diffidently* morebliss asked me to add you to my RPS filter, so I have. No need to friend me back if you don't want, and if you want to be removed, just say and I'll do so forthwith. (I read my flist on a filter, so it's no trouble either way.)

P.S. ITA with your reactions to Hard Core Roadshow. Noel is a dink. :-)

Great! Thanks for that. I'm looking forward to reading your stuff. I've only recently discovered Hard Core Logo, and I'm currently loving anything and everything associated with it!

PS Yep, definitely a dink!

My RPS index (or sindex) is here. And the AU MB was talking about starts here. Just mentioning these because I completely fail at tagging. :-)

Thanks for the links. I just read the first one in the list (Play Pretend) and I loved it. It felt very real... very Callum. :)

Thanks! :-) (Um, the few after that are a bit iffy because I was still figuring out the distinction between Callum and Billy, Hugh and Joe. So... it gets better again? /dork)
