QAF - TS : US v French version
Didn't go to sleep before 5.00 am last night - well, this morning, obviously. One of the reasons why I couldn't go to sleep was this really odd sound coming from my sister's bedroom that sounded like a baby crying or something. Do I need to mention that a) there is no baby in the house and b) there is no one sleeping in that room since my sister moved out a couple of months ago? It didn't stop all night and I have no idea where it came from exactly and what it was. It was disconcerting... and when I say disconcerting, what I mean is it was bloody freaky, thanks.
So even if I'd felt like going to sleep - which wasn't really the case anyway - I couldn't have because did I mention the freaky sound? Yeah okay, I just did.
What did I do, then? Because everyone knows you're dying to know *rolls eyes* Well I re-read a bit of one of my favourite TS zines ever, ie Changes and then I watched QAF - 101, 102 and 103. So okay, watching QAF isn't exactly the best way to make me sleepy, but at least it relaxed me enough that around 5.00 am I felt like I could close my eyes without the feeling that something was, you know, lurking in the shadows *cough*
This won't come out as a surprise but boy how much do I love this series, really!! And the Brian-Michael scene on the hospital roof? So.beautiful. I mean, I always say - well, to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
babycakesin, I mean lol - that when I try to pick a favourite scene in that show, it's almost humanly impossible because I have so many of them - and incidentally, they usually always include Michael in the equation : my favourite scenes are usually Brian-Michael or Ben/Michael ones, maybe I sorta have a slight Michael-obsession going on lol
That being said, even while I say it, there's always this one scene that pops into my mind immediately, before any other : the scene in the hospital corridor in 218, because this scene? Has to be my favourite obviously *g* It's so powerful and so moving and so very beautiful - I'm always compelled to rewind it... several times, I love it that much.
Anyway, back to the point - I think the scene on the hospital roof in 101 comes next... maybe also because it's the very first time we really get to realise the love between those two guys (friendship or otherwise, depending on your own ship) and because when you watch the whole show, ie when you know Brian and Michael inside out and you come back to it, you also realise this scene was pretty much a perfect introduction to them as individuals and as friends. I mean, it's like this short scene sums up their relationship and their dynamics perfectly - in my eyes, I mean *g*
There are lots of scene that I love like I just established, but I guess if I had to start from the top... well, those two would come out first. Though it would definitely more difficult to chose a Third Favourite One because at this point? Lots of them would have the right to belong there and would fight for it lol
Oh! I'm watching TS right now (I'm at the second episode, which is "Blind Man's Bluff", btw *happy sigh*) and you know the whole Obfuscation scene in "Black or White"? Well the French adaptation is really sweet.
First your 'obfuscation' is our 'sublimation' and second, the exchange between Simon and Blair, when Simon says that's it's B.S to him? The English version has Blair answers that No, it's a form of male bonding and in French? He says it's masturbation lol

We live in an old house, so odd freaky sounds abound at times and my younger daughter, while she still lived at home, swore there was the ghost of a little boy living here.
And RL sucks sometimes, so yeah...*hugs you*
no subject
That's why it freaked me, because in the almost ten years we've been living in this house, I never heard that kind of sound. Didn't like it either *shudder* At least in our small apartment, we didn't have that kind of problem - though I wouldn't go back to it, thanks lol I'm happy where I am *g*
It does, it definitely does. But that's life as they say. As long as you can accept it, it'll be okay *g*
Thanks for the hugs *hugs back*

1) what scene is that in 101? seriously, you'll have to talk about it some more cause I really don't know what you're talking about... *whistles innocently*
2) weird noises? odd... and thanks to whoever made me read this during a huge thunderstorm *freaked*
3) remember: I want details about the wedding! And btw, I hate that tradition of horns after the wedding - it's really silly. No such thing at *my* wedding. *determinded*
no subject
And eeep, you used my icon *g* Yes, decided it was 'mine' - I do that a lot lol
1) Well of course I'll develop. Wouldn't you want to miss all the QAF references. After all, it's not as if you knew the thing yourself *giggles*
2) Ouch - hope you'll get defreaked *pets you*
3) I like it actually. Just not today *shrug* And I promise I'll try to remember about not use the horn for your wedding lol
no subject
3) As am sure you won't be the one driving, that it will be your gf, I'll have to convince *her* lol
