GIP and various matters

[bop_radar]

Thank you for icon, norwich36!! *giggles evilly*

I'm in a pre-Christmas frenzy of activity, so this is going to be brief, but a few updates that you may or may not be interested in:
- for now conditions in Melbourne have improved (smoke cleared, temperature lowered), but the fires are still threatening to join up and form one massive front. The danger if this happens is that they could head for our water catchment areas and spoil the remaining water we have. Thursday's forecast is bleak--as bad, or worse than the weekend. The volunteers must be exhausted--they're backburning and trying to strengthen containment lines while they can. If it comes down to it, they'll abandon defense of settlements to defend the water catchments. It's that bad. *sad*
- Casino Royale! Helllooooooooo, Bond! I finally saw it and have to add my voice to all those squeeing over the extreme hotness! And the cheese was just ERASED from that movie! *reels* Favourite Bond ever.
- I have been reading. Hahum. Yes, truly I have, though I have not updated my book journal in eons. That's because I'm been re-reading so much and then OD-ing on froth in the form of Georgette Heyer novels and such nonsense. Evidently my brain is already on holiday.
- To my SV people: please do not give up on teh Clex before I make my first Clex vid. *puppy eyes at you* 'Tis in slow-but-satisfying progress, with an estimated arrival date of early Jan. It will break my heart if noone watches it. *pulls emotional blackmail on you* :-p
- Apologies to everyone who receives Xmas cards from me in January... I'm trying, really... I'm just, in Australia hopeless.

ETA: Please let this be true!

Hehehe.

Can we please talk about how hot Daniel Craig is in those swimmers? And he got an Ursula Andress type-shot in the sea because of it. He is the Bond Guy (Girl) in the movie and he completely deserves the title (G)

Also - *ahem* if you happen to find some Jason Bourne/James Bond fic, please tell me, 'cause after seeing that movie this pairing is stuck in my brain and won't let go.

PS - *fingers crossed* for good, cooler weather. Happy Xmas Frenzy!

Heee. He was SO HOT. He's not even my 'type', but I was reeling and gasping through the whole movie. I love that they sex-objectified him in this movie. And my brain was splodey having heard he thinks Bond should have a male lover in the next movie!

What I love is that he knows enough about Dr Who to know there's been a kiss in there without a big fuss (hehehe). I hope they let him do it. It makes sense to let him do it, dammit! :)

Heee, yes. There are rumours and counter-rumours all over the internet. And inevitable horrid homophobic backlash as well. *sigh* But yes, I found it cute that he knows about Dr Who!

svilleficrecs has, I believe, been working on a Bond/Bourne, but she's not posted anything yet. Just FYI. :-)
