.pretty David; also, exhaustion

Okay, last night? Sucked. I didn't fall asleep until three, and at seven was violently woken by the roommate and the dogs, who make as much noise as a garbage truck, nuclear bomb, and elephant combined. My nap this noon was a nap of failure because of the kids making things explode (or something) right under my window. /whining

Lately I've been flipping through Traders looking for Grant-oriented screencaps, so last night's "please dear God let me fall asleep" soundtrack was Dave dragging John to Gardner/Ross for some financial family thing and John seeing Grant and being completely poleaxed and wondering if Grant's Rodney's identical twin or an amnesiac Rodney from an alternate universe, and slightly later being helplessly intrigued and completely freaked out by the way Grant rambles on about things like statistical mechanics and econophysics because it is very eerily like the way Rodney goes on about astrophysics.

Anyway. A Traders screencap of David's spectacularly lovely eyelashes and also something from [livejournal.com profile] unamaga to which [livejournal.com profile] villainny directed me... NOIR JOHN. THIS IS NOIR JOHN. HE HAS A FEDORA-TYPE HAT. Doesn't he look all noirish in the greytones and scratchiness?








Both images shamelessly manipulated by myself.


And you know Rodney would say things about how a good hat can't keep bad hair down, and John would glare at him and say, well, at least I have hair. Then there would probably be head-smacking and possibly kissing at some point.

In other news: Dear god, I'm tired :/ Oh, wait. I said that already.

.eta, because I'm annoyed! The last time I checked, Terry Darlington's Narrow Dog to Indian River was going to be released in the States in April sometime. When I went to Amazon to pre-order, I discovered it's now listed as "It may be released some time in your lifetime, if you're lucky." Very aggravating.

I adore Farewell to Harry! To the point where I resorted to devious means to get it. Because Joe is so pretty!

(I think your manipulation of that picture is gorgeous, by the way. It has a scratchy, old movies sort of feel to it. Perfect.)

And Traders. Bah! People keep telling me "you need to watch Traders" but I can't even ILL it because it exists in some nebulous state. Awesome. David Hewlett's eyelashes are a thing of wonder (and a source of intense envy on my part).

So sorry you aren't sleeping well! That was me last week until I descended into an exhaustion based illness this week. Don't get to that point!

Yis yis! I usually touch up pictures before I post them (I can't help it, it's a compulsion!) and I was playing around with the color for a bit before I thought, "Hey, this is noir!John! He needs to be black-and-white! And scratchy!"

That was me last week until I descended into an exhaustion based illness this week. Don't get to that point!

asd;lkdfl;kjdf hiss!! :( :( :( I hope you feel better!

(The obnoxious thing is, there's nothing for me to be exhausted about! The horrible stress has been over for almost a couple of months now so I should be doing okay, but the sleep apparently is not working.)
