(no subject)
Nov. 19th, 2013 01:05 pmI opened my "LJ Entry" draft and saw that I'd started writing an entry a whole week ago. It actually stopped mid-sentence, wtf.
Ok, and now, I wrote what's above yesterday. I'm thinking it's a good thing I have to eat at my desk today as it'll give me the opportunity to sit down and finally complete this post. Else I'm afraid I'll let two more weeks go without a single update.
It's not even as if I had nothing to tell you about! Admittedly mostly about random stuff but still. For instance, I did go and see Snowpiercer with the FP and I loved it. And, ok, Curtis, Edgar, they were great, yeah, but I was completely smitten with Grey. We must see him, what, three times? Sometimes never more than, say, fifteen seconds? But some characters just make an impression on you, no matter how long their screen time. As a consequence, I suppose I'll have to give a try to the new version of The Musketeers? Plus, rewatch The Borgias, since that's where I saw Luke Pasqualino for the first time.
Since my last entry I also officially hopped on the Sleepy Hollow bandwagon. So I'm watching it every week instead of waiting till the season is over and mainlining the episodes.
And! Last but not least, my weekend. So I had a great one, it included family time, friends time (spent most of my Sunday with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
crazybutsound, which is always awesome) and... STEPHEN KING! I actually saw Stephen King live. He made his first official visit to France (and Germany, apparently) last week, and his tour included a fan event in a big theater in Paris. And I was there!
It was absolutely fantastic, I was in fan-heaven, seriously. He had us all under his spell. We got to hear him talk about his writing, his inspiration, his career for around 1h30. He was so interesting, enthusiastic, funny, touching and witty! I mean, obviously he's a wonderful storyteller and it showed, he knows how to work a crowd without even really trying. Which is funny because he's such a simple guy. He started with this whole speech about his and most people's fear of the dark and he went to talk to us, the audience, telling us how we would eventually go back home, in the dark, maybe alone and one never knows what can happen! He went on about this study that states that out of a thousand people (exactly how many people there were in the theater) 5% forget to lock the door on their way out. He added that since we must have been pretty impatient to see him, chances are it was more than 5% that night. And so, it was possible that someone, or something, had gotten in. And most of the time, those scary people loved to hide either in a shower or under your bed and, you know, not to scare us or anything but those things happen! People were laughing and applauding and squeeing and that was just around five minutes in the show! Definitely a great start :)
There was also a reading, which means I had Stephen King read the first two pages of Doctor Sleep to me (and a thousand other people, whatever!). I just had a blast ♥
