Due to increased hosting fees, I am sad to announce that obsessive24.net will be going offline from 31 January 2019. Most of my vids are available for streaming on my Youtube channel. The rest will be uploaded to Vimeo soon.

This master list links to the vid posts, which I'll update with the streaming links.

plays, stuff Nov. 28th, 2015 @ 10:58 pm

This year I signed up to nanowrimo for a piece of original fiction. (I've done it before but it was with fanfic.) Finished my 50k today, it's utter shite, as one can well imagine of something that has effectively no plot and a lot of run-on internal monologue (mostly therapeutic rants about my mother), but hey, it's something. Mostly it focussed my mind on what I actually want to write for original fiction, and I think I actually want to start writing YA fiction with two gay boys in a castle in some made-up Historical Tiems. So basically Merlin.

Two upcoming plays I'm excited about:

Andrew Scott! David Dawson! (Brothers not lovers, alas. Unless this play goes somewhere unexpectedly awesome.)

Dirty hot Richard Madden and Lady Rose Lily James in Romeo and Juliet. (With Derek Jacobi as a 70-old Mercutio because that is unaccountably awesome horrific awesome.)

I did not love Spectre, but I did love that Q clearly loves Bond because he always lets Bond get away with being an absolute ass.

And then: London Spy, BBC2 five-part miniseries, wherein Ben Whishaw has a doomed gay romance with an MI6 agent. Just what the doctor ordered.

Just booked to see Anthony Head in Trafalgar Studios in a new play, Ticking. Reviews have not been great but hey, Tony Head! <3

Off to Stratford-upon-Avon this weekend. Seeing a new version of Euripides' Hecuba (middling reviews - Greeks are great in theory and rarely good in practice, in my experience) and then Henry V (very good reviews indeed and the lovely Alex Hassell, wahay!). Then back on Monday for the much anticipated Cumber-Hamlet. Managing my expectations very carefully indeed.

euro qualifiers: germany v poland Sep. 4th, 2015 @ 10:15 pm

Hadn't been watching the last couple of matchdays because one assumes Germany would win over Gibraltar (or else, the shame?!) but this one is more interesting given Poland won over Germany last time. Also I like seeing the Bayern guys play against Lewandowski. :D

Euro qualifiers: Germany v PolandCollapse )

Haven't been paying much attention to clubs and this summer's transfer window, but was a little surprised that Basti transferred to Man U. There was also a lot of rumour flying around at one point of United also making a bid for Müller. That together with Man-Fridge leaving Bayern and Reus also on the talks table, it felt like something of a decimation for people I like in the Bundesliga. Müller and Reus didn't happen though, so that's good. Perhaps United could find another few tens of millions quid down the back of the couch next year.

I occasionally volunteer at West Ham so may try and roster myself onto next year's United away match just to see Basti in action. :D (Although it would also mean having to look at Rooney's horrifying mug. Hmm.) Also eyeing up the United v Arsenal match in October (Basti + Mesut + BFG!) but am lazy and it does take two whole tube changes to get to Emirates Stadium. Life is hard!

Off to Paris and Rome soon with parents visiting. Rewatching Rome in anticipation, hehehe. Apparently the assassination point of Julius Caesar wasn't in the Forum as you'd expect, but rather in the Largo di Torre Argentina, which these days also happens to be a cat sanctuary. Win? I think win.
