*waves from the ether*

Hi! I'm back -- sort of. Back for a while, anyway. The decorators have come and gone. But the floorlayers come next week! Who knows what hideous water damage they may discover in our house (besides the hideous water damage discovered by the decorators)?? And then I may finally be moving into my new study (but I ain't holdin' my breath -- I was supposed to be doing this at Christmas -- I guess those builders did not mean 2003 when they said 'it'll be ready by Christmas'...)

Anyhow, I've plugged myself in, hunched over the children's desk once again. We shall see, we shall see!

I also lost an email today so no narratological fanfic posting until Wednesday as the analysis is now sitting on t'reference library's computer. Bugger pooh.

A lot of interesting rl things have happened but here's the one most likely to enchant LJ Friends (or not): I had a dream about Brad Pitt.

He was wearing a ribbed, black polo-neck jumper (*falls over just with the memory of it*) and he was very short, as in shorter than me. He was also very erotic and kept wanting to embrace me. It were great!!!! Brad lusting after me in his sex-top!

Note: I had this dream the night before t'h returned from the US. Heh, after 25 years our relationship still appears to be having some thunders on its rock... *g*

I'll be thinking of this dream when I see Troy. Now I must try and dream the sequel: where Brad gets to take off the sex-top.

What else does this dream portend? Gentle nudges away from Lotrips?? I'm not even sure I can slash Brad (except that I already have -- except it wasn't, really...)

By daytime, I keep thinking: KarlKarl, DomDom.

ETA:

Oh yes, I did do one other LJ-delighting thing while gone: I saw Pasolini's Arabian Nights. Fuelling my lust for all things desertish. God, what a wonderful film! I'd seen it ages ago and I'm so glad to see it again. It just *glows*. It is lush and luscious, has the most breathtakingly beautiful locations, just heart-wringing, and has the most gorgeous, memorable, wonderful people in it (not even sure they're professional actor - they are beauty without the Hollywood, simply stunning - and they are white, brown, black, all stripes), and just such a wonderful attitude to sex! So carefree and lovely. And men's bottoms all the ways, and yes: full-frontal nudity in men and women, and men's penises, and: men's half-erect penises and women's hands on the men's half-erect penises.

And I love the acting style, too. They recite their lines, quite naively almost, and quite stylisedly. None of that tedious realism and um-er method acting. I love it!

one last question: recs?

LJ moves faster than rl so here I ask: while I've been offline, have there been any great fics?

Please, please rec them to me, babes!
