As of March 2008 all entries are locked, excluding any picspam entries that I will be linking to in communities. I am currently not seeking any new friends. My journal had been relatively open since 2004 and I now want to be more in control of who reads my entries. If you strongly feel that we have a lot in common and would hit it off please comment here and I will consider adding you. It is unlikely I will consider you if we don't have any mutual friends.

-STICKY POST-
I decided I wasn't going to aim for "100 movies" or "100 books" in 2008, but rather will simply keep a catalog of what I watch and read for the first time this year.

Friends, this entry is Public.

I fail at LJ. Sorry =(.

BUT! I bring tidings of great joy! PICTURES OF THE FILMING OF CASUALTY 1908 1909!!!!!! And you will not guess who is in them. Just try. Think of the greatest thing IN THE UNIVERSE that could ever happen.... =D. Not only is Charity Wakefield back as Ethel... but WILLIAM HOUSTON IS BACK AS EVERYONE'S FAVORITE *GIEHGILSUHDG* DOCTOR: MILLAIS CULPIN. I may have teared up looking at these. Just maybe.

( PICSPAM!!!!!!!!Collapse )

When I rented Elizabeth: The Golden Age I assumed William was only going to be in the background or something, I mean, he's not a well-known actor AT ALL and this was a Hollywood movie. You guys, YOU GUYS, he had lines XD! He was the Spanish ambassador and he was in like four scenes! WOOOOOOOT!

I have put all the caps (86) up in my gallery HERE.

So life went and got BATSHIT on me and it took me a full month to get part two of this picspam up. *sigh*. But it's here now! To refresh your memory, HERE is part 1.

In celebration of anythingbutgrey's birthday I have made a Doctor Who S3 Martha Jones picspam =D.


( Spoilers for S3 I suppose...Collapse )

Here is the next Millais Culpin/Ethel Bennett picspam! This one covers 1x02 and the first half of 1x03. 1x03 was so mind bogglingly amazing that the picspam for that episode has had to be broken up (or else it would slay your internet)! I can't say for sure when you will be seeing it, perhaps not until Monday, but hopefully I'll find the time sooner rather than later.

Here is the Doctor Millais Culpin/(Probationer) Nurse Ethel Bennett from Casualty 1907 picspam! The first picspam, of Doctor James Walton/(Sister) Nurse Ada Russell, was posted a couple hours ago.

This week I discovered that I have a HUGE thing for Doctor/Nurse romances set anytime before the 1950s or so. I love nurses from then, for one, because these women fifty to hundreds of years ago were busting into a male field (yay early feminism and women's suffrage movement!), a certain field that I, today, would never ever have the courage or calm to work in, and add in romances involving doctors and I just... fail to resist. One of my favorite books is about a Doctor/Nurse relationship in the American Civil War ("Refiner's Fire: Fire by Night"), but until watching Casualty 1906 I never made the connection that that element of the relationship was one of the reasons why I loved it so. Do you guys have any Doctor/Nurse book or movie recommendations =D? (Just fyi Friends: this entry is public.)

Now for the Casualty 1906-1907 picspam! I am doing two, the first is for Doctor James Walton/(Sister) Nurse Ada Russell, the second will be for Doctor Millais Culpin/(Probationer) Nurse Ethel Bennett. Casualty 1906 was a one hour movie set during three days in December, 1906, at The London Hospital. The interesting thing about the movie (and series) is that all the characters are based on real people and all the events based on real events. Casualty 1907 is a series set right after the movie (a couple weeks later at the most, I'd say) with most of the same characters (well, people), consisting of three hour long episodes. I've only seen 2 of the 4 hours so far, but I highly recommend this series! Hopefully these picspams will entice you to watch =).
