What a lovely calm week after the frenzy of the one before… So much so that I ran out of topics to write about and didn’t post yesterday. There is only so much “collection” stuff I can prompt… However, the positive side effect was that I had time to shrine.
Blink blink blink… I look forward to unveiling this lot. Soon.
Let’s see what tumblr had on offer this week. Quick word ahead, though: A couple of weeks ago tumblr was sold to Automattic, the company behind WordPress. An interesting acquisition. They snapped up tumblr for really cheap. When it was initially sold a few years ago to Yahoo, the now defunct company had to pay a whopping 1.1 billion US-Dollars for it. Now, it was only worth a fraction of the price: 3 measly million US-Dollars. However, tumblr and WordPress are a good fit – they are both blogging platforms, and it looks as if the CEO of Automattic will not meddle with tumblr to its detriment but bring back what made tumblr a success in the first place: quick, easy blogging and reblogging, as well as a kind of timeline-based pin board with a social element. We’ll see what happens – and if the new ownership will bring new rules and hopefully reinvigorate the community there.

It’s all about the eyes. I somehow find the look with the brown contacts sinister. Anyone else?
The Porter oic is fantastic and IMO most closely represents how his eyes actually look when you’re looking at him. They come out really blue in many pictures, but to me the striking thing wasn’t the color but how luminous they are. Sorry, I can’t describe it any other way.

I couldn’t agree with you more about the brown eyes. Really spooky – at least for us, who know very well that his eyes are blue. But well, the role required it. It’s interesting to see what a difference the colour of eyes makes.
Luminous is a good description.

It‘s really a big difference for such a relatively small change. We‘ll see if that influences our viewing experience.
I was totally blown away by the quality of his eyes IRL. #LeSigh

I agree Kate, the brown contacts deadened his eyes in those pics and luminous is the word for his beautiful orbs, particularly striking in Strike Back.

Thank you so much once again for all the mentions!
#1 I can try to make more Lego Gisbornes when I go to the Lego store (in Helsinki) next time. Those are second hand blocks so it’s a bit mystery what I can find.

The quote about Guy and Marian. I’m not one to tell someone how to ship, but this is one of the reasons why I can’t ship these 2 characters. My skin DID crawl when they were together, but it wasn’t him that made my skin crawl – it was HER! And the beginning of the series, when she rebuffed Robin right away, I was like – YAY! Strong woman. But then she became obnoxious and self-centered and I think Guy deserved better.
But I’m unashamedly Team Guy-Genevieve.
Damn, I need to write some more of them!
Thank you for the roundup. It’s a nice break from Hurricane watching!

I was wondering if anyone will go to London in October to see The Lodge. .Horror isn’t my thing but I think I could manage it in company.
