Wanted: Common Sense & Courage

Richard's set up some pages at justgiving.com here. Hopefully you've all donated by now!

Now, on with the Christmas journal, which I'm shamelessly cannibalizing from my Devart journal.

( We say, Merry CHRISTMAS! Click for the Reason for the Season )

( insert witty remark here )

To all my fellow Americans, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all gave thanks for your blessings and family.

Though we've celebrated Thanksgiving since the Pilgrims' time, it was Abraham Lincoln who made in an official holiday.

This is Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation. We would do well to abide by his words.
( Lincoln's Thanksgiving Proclamation - read it! )

On this day in 1787, my Founding Fathers signed the Constitution and changed the world forever. The greatest country was born.

You might or might not have heard that there was a 1.7-million-person protest by fiscal conservatives at Washington DC on 9/12. That's where I spent my weekend! If you have heard of it, like as not you got a left-skewed version. So let me tell you how it went. I'm using pics, 'cause a pic is worth a thousand words.

You've probably heard the fringe media call us all racists. Ok, so it is predominantly white, but when you consider that 12% of the population is black, and 90% of that supports Obama...you get the idea.

I did see one racist, though. He was a black homeless man who was sitting in the MIDDLE of our group saying we should all get white hoods. What did we do? Did we beat him up like the (black) SEIU people did to the (black) conservative who was handing out Don't Tread on Me flags? Nope. People calmly explained their position, and we even gave him a Constitution booklet. He left when he figured out he couldn't rile us.

Now that that's out of the way...

OK, MY PEEPS, I WILL BE GONE FROM FRIDAY MORNING TO MONDAY AFTERNOON. I'M CAPSLOCKING HERE 'CAUSE I'LL BE MISSING CAPSCHAT.

That's right, I'm off to D.C. to make my voice heard and defend the Constitution, the Republic, and common sense.

Watch Fox News from 1-3p EST this Saturday to see We the People in action.

Check out this vid that I think is beautiful and extremely powerful.



Hopefully all will go safely. Maybe there'll be a comp I can use at the hotel to keep up on the LJ Hood world.

3x10

Even the trees have lost their leaves, signifying the winter that is his life. It’s a dream, so Guy isn’t blue with cold even though he’s wearing only a thin, billowing shirt to cover his manly chest *sigh* while Bobbin’s done up in a carefully tailored-and-tucked duvet and the weird bloke has a thick cloak. The inverse of this is that in the scorching heat of the Holy Land, when Marian’s wearing her cool white fantasy angel outfit, Guy’s still trussed up in not only his leather jerkin and trousers *another sigh* but also his socking great leather coat and GLOVES. Yet notwithstanding this, he doesn't pass out from heatstroke. (&)

Guy has lost everything, and is living out his worst fear: having no land, no Maz, no position, no power, no food, no sleep. Only by the luck of dream-gear conjuring does he have his sword and a bow. A bow, because he is also facing his other worst fear and most secret ambition combined: he is now in Rob’s shoes – and in Rob's territory.


[Could that bark-covered bow suck any MORE? Mm, Guy really isn’t an archer, though, so doesn’t matter.]
( AAAAND THE LAST BIT WITH A MUCH BETTER ENDING. )

3x06

The first 10 seconds of Guy sleeping restlessly are actually RL.


[Aaaaaabs. Come on, editor, can you give us more than 0.2 seconds of fanservice?]
( MORE GUY AHEAD! )

And here is how all this plays out.

S2 Finale

Guy’s nightmare kicks off with the familiar betrayal theme as Lusty!Vasey tells Guy that Allan is gone (see ‘Allan’ above).

Cue in dream physics: the lightning-speed trip to the Holy Land! Guy has been there before so his images are fairly realistic; however, not only do Guy, Vasey, and Marian make it there in less than a week, but so do Robin and the gang, chasing them. ($)


[Vasey even brings his birds with him! Just like home.]

Guy's Dream of Horror and Doom

After reading Caedhe's account of how S3 and the end of 2x13 were Much's hallucination - her alternative makes far more sense than the show ever did - I, caedhe, 01cheers, and karen747decided that it would be a good idea to do a Guy-centered explanation. You see, in my little boat on the De Nile River, all this was an extension of Guy's Triple-Massage Dream of Horror and Doom©.

It's 8/22, and we all know what that means! It's Richard Armitage's B-day! He's survived another year and will hopefully survive many, many more! So, much safety and success to the Rarmitage on his special day.

To celebrate, I have a vid. I also watched some RH eps today. Maybe later I'll make a vid with all the times Giz has actually gotten to beat up Bob.

(delayed) Reaction Post to Vulpes Libris "Conversation with: Richard Armitage" Interview

Read it! http://vulpeslibris.wordpress.com/2009/07/08/in-conversation-with-richard-armitage/
That squishy sound is me mopping up the drool from my desk. This man cannot possibly be this amazingly perfect. Surely he must be a human/alien hybrid designed to personify all the traits women, and humans in general, admire in a man. Back when I first wondered who this Richard Armitage fellow was who played Guy of Giz, I read all his interviews and messages. And that is how I became an avid supporter and addict of The Man. As proof, I can recite the circus story word for word. But I skip that now, 'cause if I have to hear it one more time, my brain will explode. Great story the first 100 times through, but now even Richard cringes when the dolt reporters ask him, "Is it true you were in the circus?" Der.

 

( Massive fangirling ahead. You have been warned! )

How Responsible was Bobbin for Guy and Izzy Joining the Dark Side?

RH Ep 5: Secondhand Lions and Writers on Crack


( on to the snarking... )

You know, after reading the spoilers for the Robin Hood season/series 3 last episode, I feel really ill. It's shameful how they treated characters and actors who have carried the show during the last 3 seasons.

And while I am reconciled to Guy's death, I will still complain to BBC that the "No redemption for you!" angle sends a bad message to kids. At least give him Meg in the end! Holy crap, why bother to do a redemption arc and have Meg if you're just going to end like this?

Also, Allan. Do not let him die like that! A character that everybody liked should not go like that.

The only good part about the ep was that Bobbin died. Finally. Just too bad it couldn't have been Guy shanking him or something and then running off with Marian.  *sigh*
