Strange, yeah?

Just realized that Stockard Channing was 33 when she played a high school senior in Grease, my first "fandom" film. (I love her in everything, even the rubbishy Up Close and Personal.)  What a great speaking voice.

She looked pretty damned good . Actually, every supposed high schooler in the film was well... old. A film producer would never do that today. Oh God... please don't remake Grease with Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers.

Succumbing to the Green Fairy

...so I was working on a piece of fic involving guess who (points up) and got stuck. I blame using a notebook instead of the computer, because it screws up my sense of order, writing things with PENS. Now back to the original setting and absinthe. Because. John Hart.

Boche had known a joiner who had stripped himself stark naked in the rue Saint-Martin and died doing the polka — he was an absinthe-drinker.

So. Absinthe research led to arguments from the Ist Century BCE Lucretius poem De Rerum Natura : It is a statement of personal responsibility in a world in which everyone is driven by hungers and passions with which they were born and do not understand.

Odd prompts/structure for naughty fan fiction about two guys from the 51st Century. Probably.

Unrelated but funny: the John Barrowman peen pic. Likely not his, but "being dickrolled" has now entered the LJ lexicon.
