anam cara

I woke up at about 4:30am this morning from a horrible dream and then proceeded to cry for I don't know how long. Makes it very difficult to go back to sleep :/

I requested a ticket for Matt's visit to The Late, Late Show as soon as I heard, which I thought was soon enough, but my status has just gone from 'requested' to 'sold out' and I am quite bummed right now.

*le sigh*

At least my Doctor Who and Sherlock DVDs have shipped. Expected date of arrival: November 12th! (Ryan's birthday)

I also redyed my hair. I'm a brunette once again! For the first time in YEARS my hair actually matches my eyebrows. What a concept.

And Toma is playing Hitler in a play. I'm not sure how to feel about this 0_0

‎So the last couple of days have been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me. Mostly down though. So more like a plummeting emotional elevator? I don't have the energy to go into it now, but at the moment, things are... okay.

Got a new manager at work though and I'm a little anxious. Only worked with her once so far. She seems alright, but I just don't really know. We'll see how it plays out I guess.

White Collar was wonderful. Loved the ending (and the bit right before, especially). Not happy it's time for the midseason finale already though. Psych was hilarious. Shawn being a fanboy was adorable.

Merlin's starting up again soon. I look forward to the insanity ;)

And I'm currently enjoying Grandma's House. Normally I wouldn't really be into this sort of stuff - I get TERRIBLE second-hand embarrassment - but I love Simon Amstell. I love that he can't really act and he looks like he's going to bust out laughing at any moment. It's all just part of his charm. ( Here are a couple of my favorite quotes from the first episode. )

And in fandom collision news, in an interview with Benedict Cumberbatch (my brother actually asked me if that was his real name) here, he was asked who his favorite actors/actresses were and he responded:

Stephen Dillane, Mark Rylance, Simon Russell Beale, Eddie Redmayne, James McAvoy, Casey Affleck, Ryan Gosling, Jimmie Stewart, Adrian Scarborough, Harrison Ford, Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson, Rod Steiger, Steve McQueen, Martin Sheen, Alison Janney, Sissey Spacek, Meryl Streep, Nancy Carroll, Juliette Binoche, Maggie Gylenhall, Amy Adams. There is an infinitely bigger list... God I hate lists!

Obviously I did the bolding there ;) But yeah. I don't know. That made me really happy. I 'know' that Ryan is a wonderful actor. I've seen it. And he was nominated for an Academy Award ffs. But I still see him as Sean Hanlon/Young Hercules. Either way, I'm proud of him.

And I'm proud of Toma! He is no longer considered a Jr. and now has his very own page ♥

And for what it's worth: I won't be crossposting anything of mine or anyone else's to FB or Twitter. And while I doubt anyone would want to crosspost anything I've said, I'd rather you didn't. Right then. That's enough of that.

Finally, come and join sherlockland!

What was I saying? Oh yeah! Doctor Who was quite hilarious. With a couple of touching moments thrown in for good measure. I don't really have the energy to say anything else, but it was a good one. However, now I'm a little preoccupied by the teaser for next week. Holy crap, that looks like a fun/mind fucker of an episode.

The other day, I got stopped at the mall by someone who works at a salon downtown asking me if I wanted to be a sort of hair model. I don't remember if I mentioned it before, but like a year ago I guess, I got stopped by someone from the same salon and at the same mall. Last time it was because they liked my hair cut (bob) but this time it was because they were looking for redheads and they liked my color. Made me smile.

Today I got my eyebrows done. Finally. I was trying to let them grow out because I had kind of over tweezed, but they were getting a little crazy there. And I love that the lady doing my eyebrows asked if I was Spanish. I am a little, but more Italian than that. And yes, I know I'm hairy :P

Today I also finally got to watch St Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold. It was a fun, cute movie. Not as good as the first, but it did have Colin Firth AND David Tennant so I can't really complain.
