I'm a little better, but overtired again tonight, and wanting to make a positive post, so:


1. Whumptober 2024's prompts are out! (For anyone, like me, also signed up to lyricaltitles, some of them come with song lyrics attached... could be handy for combining both challenges, heh.)


2. Also courtesy of tumblr, a pic of Jeremy Northam as Berowne in the 1993 RSC "Brideshead" version of Love's Labours Lost:

Apparently he sang in it, too.


2a. Talking of him singing, I don't actually have another British Newspaper Archive sub currently, but a little while ago, I idly put a Jeremy Northam search in to see if the results would help sort out exactly what he was doing in the theatre early in his career. I did not expect to get a bunch of little preview paragraphs c.1987 where he was apparently in a thing playing the piano while all the local reviewers went, "He looks just like Ivor Novello!" You don't say. XD (The Novello resemblance was probably deliberate, as the garbled previews suggest that the other characters were also made up to look like 30s stars for that particular production of Rough Crossing by Tom Stoppard, but still. It was apparently inevitable at some point. Clearly I need to repeat this search whenever I do actually have access, but that was so unexpected, it made me laugh.)


Anyway, am off to hopefully do fictional typing for a few minutes or so before bed. ♥

JN = Law breaker. Hasn't undone all his shirt buttons though, so probably got off with a suspended sentence;p

LOL, wouldn't that then shift to just plain tacky, and the charges'd have to be different? XD

I'm fed up with demure and mindful already, so I'm declaring a tackiness amnesty.
