Priorities

[anteros_lmc]

Hello! I haven't quite fallen off the internet, just RL being slightly crazy as usual. Work continues to be completely mad, my contract ran out last week but I now have a short contract extension which means that I can a) pay my mortgage, b) finish the work on my house, c) look for something more permanent. In other important news, my sister has a gorgeous new Staffie puppy, and last weekend nodbear and I found ourselves at an utterly improbable event for a pair of disreputable fangirls.

Any just to prove that I haven't lost sight of my priorities, here's a picture of Archie.


Hope you guys are all well, hope to catch up with all the posts and comments I've missed over the next week or so. A x

Did you have one of those magical "if they realised how we'd managed to get ourselves here they'd boot us out" moments?

[anteros-lmc.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. We certainly had plenty of those! :}

We did indeed = it was like a cutting out action in terms of chutzpah :)

ROFL! That's certainly one way to describe it XD

Oh my heart-- that picture. I have wondered for years what JB thinks about to look so closed and sad. It is not his own face at all.

You're right, I'd never really thought about that before. Particularly in the case of Archie, he inhabits the character so completely that I forget I'm watching an actor. But you're right the transformation is remarkable and, in this case, heartbreaking.

Perhaps he is just inhabiting Archie in the moment. That is the most simple explanation. But I have heard that actors hoard painful moments to use when needed sometimes. I should not wonder, and even if I dared ask and could it may not be something a person could explain. But I do wonder.

That is the alchemy of acting I guess- I wonder if it changes through life also = I mean whatever Jamie did when he was this young man fresh from drama school might well be different now he is a husband, father, friend of long standing = it is all the more heart wrenching that expression when you do think of his open, smiling face as himself in interviews and conferences.
