A Man for All Seasons

[pensnest]

I took my men to see A Man for All Seasons yesterday. This was a good move. The Beast had politely refrained from mentioning that he'd much rather be playing World of Warcraft than going to see a play, and afterwards admitted that mine was the better choice. It really is a terrific play, and was very well done. Martin Shaw played Thomas More - very well indeed, I should add - and his daughter was played by one Sophie Shaw. Very moving stuff, and 'gripping', as my Beast said. Even the Boy acknowledged that it was interesting, high praise considering the source. In the car on the way home, we had some good discussion of integrity and how inconvenient it can be, though this (inevitably) turned into an information session on computer security. I guess that's no bad thing.

And this morning, another banner for me! Woot.







Am enjoying very much the commemorative NSYNC postings. Nothing to contribute, myself, since - dear me - I've only been on LJ since, um, April, and only really registered the existence of sparkly dancing boys in, oh, March. Consider me all asquee.

Thanks, nopseud. I'm glad to be here.

Congratulations to first place! It's a wonderful icon, I voted for it myself :-)

Is it terrible of me to feel a little glad that there's someone on my friendslist who's even newer to the sparkle than I am? I didn't discover them until a year ago and feel like such a newbie sometimes :-)

Well, thank you! It's amazing what serendipity can achieve.

I don't think we newcomers are quite as rare as we feel, 'cause not everyone seems to have been into popslash for all that long. It's nice to think that people are still able to join in the fandom, that it's not dying out even though, obviously, some folks have moved on. Such fun to be had!

yay you, once again [I don't think I've ever seen that source picture]

Thanks! Here's the source in its full-colour glory:

Only wish I could claim to have been that close to half-naked Lance! I dunno where it came from, but this time round the lance_challenge pics were all from CFTC.
