Sleepless and spamming

Tinfoil hat no longer working for you? Maybe it's time for an upgrade. Gotta love the testimonials: "Still nothing new to report here...so it must work!" Yup.


Speaking of obsessive fans (well, sort of. obliquely), Tom Felton is in the North Country for some Junior Carp Fishing Tournament. Apparently young Mr. Malfoy is an avid fisherman; he was up here last year, too. But the poor kid- they had an interview with him on the local news (he did a signing or something, I wasn't paying that much attention), and he had to point out that when he's standing there with a fishing rod and bait and stuff, that's because he wants to fish. And fangirly squeals scare away the fish. So no pouncing, please.

Really, who would pounce on a person who's fishing? Fishing brings out the boring in even the most interesting people. You could be chatting merrily with Hildegarde von Bingen, Benjamin Franklin and Peter O'Toole, and as soon as you handed around the fishing rods, all they'd want to talk about would be whether that's the right kind of fly (no, of course it isn't, it never is) and if leeches or grubs are the more effective bait and this amazing top-secret spot where the bass are the size of tuna and just begging to be caught, only they can't tell you where it is because then everyone would know.

Talk about fishing, Tom. That'll scare the fangirls away.


Hm. One of the cats is sitting here, glaring at me, with his big, sharp fangs sticking out. I have no idea what he wants. So if I suddenly stop answering comments, I've probably been eaten.

I'm not sure if I'm just tired or what, but I just laughed so hard at that paragraph it hurt.

Hee! I'll have to tell Ross (the cat)- he'll be very proud he's chalked up another kill. He's very fierce, you know. A fearsome beast indeed. (Actually, he's a big softie, but I can't be too careful. He's also very smart. What if he learns how to read this? *g*)

I ended up giving him my bed to keep him happy. I wasn't using it, and it got those fangs away from me. Yikes.

Aw, he sounds adorable. Don't tell him I said that, though. Tell him I quaked with fear ;)

Good luck using your bed again. Cats are such cover hogs.

Peter O'Toole getting his rod out, you say?

Oh dear...

(Eeeek! I've just turned into Jarvis from Newman & Baddiel.)

Badump ching! *g* I almost changed that bit for just that reason, but then I figured he'd probably find it amusing. Sitting around fishing and scandalizing the nun...

SNORT! This begs being used in an X-Files story, it really does.

I commented to Kath one day that for such an upper class twit, young Mr. Malfoy talked like a London dock worker. Then I found out in an interview that Felton's father actually is a professional fisherman, and that Tom wasn't sure if he wanted to continue acting, or help his dad with the family fishing buisness. He seems to be a very down-to-earth, practical kid ... which is probably why he enjoys playing Malfoy so much.

I find that canned tuna makes an excellent diversionary tactic.

Ah ha, I did not know that. Makes sense. Tough call for the poor guy, though- it's not like either is a very stable business. It'll be interesting to see in which direction he goes.

I ended up giving the cat (Ross) my bed to keep him happy. I wasn't using it, after all. They run this house, I can't deny it. At least they let me stay here rent-free.

O'Toole's character did some fishing in The Day They Robbed the Bank of England, and he seemed interesting then. Granted, he was spilling his guts out to a man he had only met the day before about the bank he guards - a bank which O'Toole's new friend wants to rob. Poor boy was too in love to realize.

Another slashy movie? He sure does have a lot of those, doesn't he. Neat, I'll have to track that down, even with the fishing. Pity about the fishing, though. Heh.

Most of his movies seem to be slashy in one way or another. Interesting phenomena. *g*

Heh, I know. Fishing doesn't sound very interesting to me. However, the movie is good, despite the fishing *g*

You, and the event of an old man talking to the sky in a parking lot today, have inspired a nice short story.

Keen! I think. That's good, right? Let me guess, was it the alien thing?
