Real Life Wise

1. A Happy Birthday to

simply_fly_away *hugs*

2. As is the custom on LJ, I'll keep you posted on my cold. Phase 2 - or is that 3 - has gone live last night. I think I've underestimated the cold, you know?

The Mouse: *waking herself around 5.00 am this morning* Oh my *cough* God, I have pneu*cough*monia *cough* *wince* Wait *cough* Is that my voice? *croaks*

You get the picture. I don't even recognise my own voice today, though for the bright side, it's making Henry and Rémi - my cousin is spending the month at home - laugh like mad. For the French Posse? Henry keeps asking me to sing Casser la Voix; apparently, it's really funny *glare*

3. Ha! See if I care. Today was a good day because I received my first bday card :-) I didn't open it because it's not the right time ~~and it'll bring bad luck if I do~~ but still bday card, yay! *kisses Tai*

3b. And today is also a nice day because tonight La Famiglia di Mouse is going to eat some very delicious food - we'll taste the meal we'll get to at The Esu's wedding. Yummy *licks lips in anticipation*

Fannish Wise

1. I found myself at

metafandom last night, reading a lot of the posts that have been linked to recently. I was a bit surprised of doing so because fandom meta isn't always my cup of tea. The thing is, it does interest me sometimes but at other times, it's like ruining the fun of it somehow - a bit as if I loved playing football with my buddies on Sunday afternoons and each time I found myself on the field someone was stopping the game and spent hours explaining the history of football, where it came from, what it meant in term of sociology, psychology and, like, sure it's interesting but I'm here to play and have fun so I don't care, all right? But some of those posts were interesting and the assumptions were kept to a minimum, which is always something I dislike with a lot of fandom meta: how people assume things.

2. Look at that; BBC 4 has picked up our French thriller Engrenages *feels all proud* Apparently, they'll air the show in French with English subtitles. Hey,

yami_tai? You might want to check it out? They're describing Spiral - the English title - as a cross between CSI and State of Play, not bad as description goes, I think :-) Dude... British TV is buying a French show, cocorico!

Roh, j'ai jamais regardé "Engrenages" moi... trop traumatisé par "Sous le Soleil" j'ai été, les séries françaises j'ai arrêté. (sauf PJ, mais bon, Bruno Wolkowitch oblige...)

Anyway, ça vaut le coup d'allumer la téloche, cette série?

Lol C'est clair que Sous le Soleil, c'est légèrement traumatisant mais je t'assure que Engrenages ça n'a rien à voir. Une deuixème saison de la série a été commandée mais je sais pas du tout où ils en sont... faudra guetter Canal+ je suppose.

Et la série est pas mal, oui. Je peux pas t'en dire plus parce qu'à l'époque on a eu des problèmes avec Canal donc j'ai pas pu la regarder comme je voulais mais elle était plus sombre que d'habitude, ça change. J'aimerais bien qu'ils la rediffusent que je puisse me faire une véritable opinion.

Ha, ça serait amusant si je finissais par la télécharger après que la BBC 4 la diffuse lol

Diffusée sur Canal +? J'ai même jamais fait gaffe. Avec un peu de chance ils rediffuseront la saison 1 avant de lancer la 2 *croise les doigts*

Je reconnais qu'une série de qualité en français ça ne serait pas du tout pour me déplaire. Parce que c'est bien d'avoir de supers séries de qualité en anglais mais, même quand on comprends vachement bien, c'est tout aussi agréable d'avoir un truc non-doublé dans sa langue maternelle ^^

Pis tu as peut-être pas besoin d'attendre la diffusion de la BBC 4 lol, elle doit déjà être téléchargeable quelque part, nope? (quoiqu'ici bas on a beaucoup moins la culture de la série TV, donc évidemment y'a moins de gens pour clipper & co)

S'ils sont malins, ils rediffuseront la première saison, faut qu'ils essaient de gagner de nouveaux fans, quand même.

quoiqu'ici bas on a beaucoup moins la culture de la série TV, donc évidemment y'a moins de gens pour clipper & co

C'est clair - en même temps, vu les séries qu'on se tape en France, ie séries françaises, on ne perd pas grand chose.

Thank you! :)

You're welcome :-)

Aww, your cold's getting worse? Poor Mouse!

And I've never heard of Engrenages, but cocorico indeed!

Thanks *looks all miserable and stuff*

Quand j'ai vu ça j'étais toute contente; c'est la BBC quand même, ça en jette *g*

So sorry to hear you're sick!

It's just a cold, you know but it's driving me crazy though, me and my voice lol

Thanks ;-)

*huggles & sends get well vibes* I hope that you have told your body that you are not allowed to be sick for your birthday!

Hey, yami_tai? You might want to check it out?

*bouncebounce* Definitely! I can't seem to find on Google exactly when BBC4 will start showing it, so I'll keep an eye on their schedule. Thanks for letting me know ^___________^!

I'd better not be sick on Saturday *warns body* This wouldn't be buddies!

Apparently the BBC might air the show 'later this month' - don't know if they really meant May - in that case, they're a bit late - or June? Or if they got it wrong altogether...

Poor sis, are you feeling any better today? *blows kisses to you*

Your reaction to meta is pretty much the same as mine. It's okay at times, but fandom is my fun place. I don't want to spend all my time examining it.

The cough is stubborn and doesn't want to leave. I think I need to make it feel less comfortable in my body or something lol

Exactly, fandom really is my fun place and over-analysing it doesn't make it more interesting for me. And I hate how people will always assume things, too. As if they Knew It All *rolls eyes*
