This has the potential to be really quite interesting...

From [livejournal.com profile] fajrdrako:

Ask me seven questions. Not just any seven questions though. No, to keep it interesting, use the seven questions as per below - just copy and paste the following, replace the blanks with something you want to know/ask (e.g. 3. Donkeys or sandcastles and why?), anything you want, personal, silly, surreal or deep, comment away and I'll answer honestly as I can!

1. What do you think of _____________ ?
2. When did you last ____________?
3. __________ or ___________ and why?
4. What did you ______________?
5. What is/are your favorite ______________?
6. How would you ______________?
7. Who would you most like to ________ ?

Have at it! *g*

Your opinions of Watchmen sound very like my opinions of it. There's some brilliant work there, in terms of use of semiotics in art, works and meaning; but I don't like the characters or the story much. This was disappointing, as Alan Moore has written some of the best prose in comics, and some of the most moving stories. And yes, the puzzle aspect is terrific.

It's been a few years since I've reread the Lymond books, or even parts of them. And I miss them. Just can't find the time. Especially when it seems kind of self-indulgent. In a good way. Self-pampering, even.

I started out as mostly a fan of Merlin, and I do love Colin Morgan - loved him as Jethro in Doctor Who too, even though it was a small part. But as I watched Merlin I came to love and appreciate Arthur more and more. Which is fun. I like the way Arthur's pragmatism contrasts with Merlin's randomness. Hmm: Maybe a bit of insight there... I identify with Merlin, who is scattered but purposeful. People like me and Merlin need practical, strong-willed people like Arthur in our lives.

Uther is a considerably better father than Denethor.

The joy of Uther (and there are many joys to Uther) is that he is a good father and his strong will is based on bad experience. I am a big fan of Uther, too, and not just because of Anthony Head. Though he's a good part of the reason.

I watched "Lancelot" again on Sunday. Mmm. Very nice indeed.

Re fusilli: yum.

MCR music: I like your interpretation of the lyrics. Good either way, but better your way. I agree with you both on the difficulty of picking favourites and the ones you picked. I'm not sure about Famous Last Words; still a favourite, I think.

Re. the lyrics of Bury Me in Black, I don't think an official version exists. They're not given on the the cd of Life on the Murder Scene, probably because all the other songs on it, apart from Desert Song, are live versions of previously released stuff. Someone needs to ask Gerard. Preferably in person. *g*

That's a pity.

Yes. You could volunteer. Or we could write to him.
