Here's a fabulous article in which Franz Ferndinand say they don't mind RPS about them. Link nicked from [livejournal.com profile] anniesj.

"It was pointed out to me at one point and I thought it was very humorous," Kapranos says. "The thing I didn’t realize is that there are so many hot blooded girls who are really kind of into this voyeuristic thing about homosexual sex. At first I thought they’d been spying on my private life and then I realized it’s just fantasy."

Hee!

My cute animal of the month is this two headed tortoise that was born in Dorset a couple of months ago. Apparently both heads eat and sometimes they start on the same piece of food and meet in the middle. o_0

Some fic recs:

Sometimes Salvation by [livejournal.com profile] musesfool. Some people don't want to be saved. And some people can't be. That doesn't stop Hermione from trying.
I expect most of you will run screaming when I say it's Remus/Hermione, but it's my favourite HP het ship and this is a damn good story.

Five Ways to Make Remus Lupin Cry by [livejournal.com profile] circe_tigana and Five More Ways to Make Remus Lupin Cry by [livejournal.com profile] anniesj both here. Then Five Ways to Make Remus Lupin Smile by [livejournal.com profile] circe_tigana.

How He Had Failed by [livejournal.com profile] niannah. Warren, Tucker and Andrew try to take on the vampires. Set in the Buffy Wishverse.

In other news - my tickets for Serenity have arrived! Woo!

I want to see the cute two-headed tortoise! Also, that quote is fantabulous. We're hot-blooded girls! Rah! this voyeuristic thing about homosexual sex - a philosophy to live by.

And thank you for the rec. :)

I saw you were online earlier but I couldn't get on. I should be on tonight, from about 9:30 pippa emma. We can book the hotel then. *g*

I linked to the two headed tortoise - it is here and very cute: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4006351.stm

I love that fic and it deserves to be pimped!

About the hotel - I've just read through the stuff that came with the tickets and it says not to book over the internet as they won't know that we're with the convention and we'll get kicked to an overflow hotel if it gets too full. I think we'll have to phone up. It does say you can book with the enclosed form but they didn't enclose one. I'm hoping this is due to their incompetence rather than the fact that the hotel is fully booked... Apparently we should be able to get a doule room for £77 per night.

Ah, my apologies! I'm chainging my layout and I'm not used to links being a similar colour to the text. Perhaps I should change that...

Ahh. I can call then on Monday. Does it give a number?

do you ever wonder what happens when one of the tortoise's heads wants to go left and the other right? Maybe he just sits there and twitches, but then he wouldn't get very far like that.

thanks for reccing those three by Anniesj and circe, I lost them in a firefox glitch.

Poor little tortoise. I guess it figures it out!

No! Losing fic is never good. I love my Firefox and touch wood, it hasn't ever done anything nasty to me yet.

I forgot to call the hotel, dammit! I'll do it as early as possible tomorrow. I'm sure it'll be fine. So I just tell them we're going to the con? Better call from a private place then, lol.

I'm sure it'll be fine! If you tell them we're at the con, we should get the special rates that Starfury have negotiated with them. Don't forget you have to ask for in house reservations. Cheers!
