Oh my, have you recovered from the new reality of Mr A *twittering*? He’s keeping us quite entertained, isn’t he? For someone who only said a year ago that he “didn’t get Twitter” he is pretty adept at using Social Media. Tweets, Retweets, pictures included, some gentle teasing for interaction, promoting his friends’ projects –…
[With apologies for fuck-up earlier on.] Crikey! *That* went spectacularly wrong. *oooooops* With yesterday’s festivities on Armitage-Day and the mayhem caused by you-know-who’s surprising emergence on Twitter, I totally forgot that I had my customary round-up scheduled – but unfinished. I usually collect the links as I go along, but this week I had been…
What do you give somebody who has everything? You don’t give them a tangible present at all. You do something in their honour, possibly. Or you create something for them, a poem, a painting, a birthday cake? Sometimes it is enough to let people know that we are thinking of them on their special day.…
Just back from watching Into the Storm. And hell, yes, it has all been said, but I am going to write this anyway, almost like a diary for myself. Before I went, I had been wondering whether I should actually write the review before seeing it. Cos frankly – I didn’t expect much, and my…
The floodgates have opened. The fun continues. A number of new poems have been brought to my – our – attention, overnight. To stop them from languishing in the comments, I am giving them their own post. Teuchter has come out with a beard-love confession in lyrical form. Ode to a Beard See yon brown…
I was idly watching the Sunday go by when for no apparent reason I remembered some fun fan poetry that I meant to post in a separate post long ago. Maybe today is the day, with nothing else happening? I really think you will have fun with some of this. And it goes to prove…
Well, hello – here is week 30 of tumblr goodness to look at. This is what I found: Evankart does colour Dayum, Thorin. I like how radiorcrist makes you tie your hair. Half-naked. (There, I bet you’ll click this link…) Oh Mahal, the heartbreak of it. It is much too early for this. Please… December…
For some reason I thought that Thorin was by far the most popular of all RAPS subjects. To me it felt as if I had enshrined the noble King more than any other chaRActer over the course of the last six months. I thought he had beaten the old favourite, Mr Thornton, and even my…
You spend your whole life as an actor waiting for that call, and then it finally comes. “There is Bollywood on the phone for you.” Yes, readers, the dream has come true, Bollywood has called. At least when it comes to his performance in a RAPS near you. I jokingly put the idea out there,…
After an intense three days of memory massage aka “reviewing” I can now feel a week of RAPS posts coming up. About time. The last of the pre-break RAPS have arrived at their destinations, so they can be officially inaugurated in the RAPS Gallery. And then it will be time to get stuck in a…
