Well hai thar  
I haven't been around much lately; the hard-drive failed on my laptop (it sounded like a bag of spanners! Thank God I had everything backed-up...) so while I was waiting for a replacement I had to beg Mr Riss for time on his computer (which he uses for work)...
I ended up actually reading a book, OMG!!! Heh. So, I've not been commenting much due to lack of time on-line. I will catch up, I promise! 

ANYWAY I come bearing recs! Or one, anyway. Nightlife by Reginawren is a lovely little fic, with Vamp!Draco and Harry with a Captain Jack-type secret in the middle of a murder investigation. You know I love Auror-fic. Her Draco is lovely, really nicely done. Read it! It's nice and shortish and really enjoyable. And not too heavy on the vamp, for those of you who have squick.

I'm so jealous of Certain Members of My Flist who get to see Brideshead before me. Oh woe is me, it has an October release in the UK, so I shall have to *cough* locate a decent d/l *cough* just so I can lust after, sorry, admire Matthew Goode's, um, acting skills... until then, I shall have to rely on the lovely [info]omarandjohnny to keep posting the delicious pics.

Keep the porn coming, people. I know I can rely on you!

I'm so sorry for your computer woes. That's frustrating! Did you get a new one?

I can't believe BH was released here before in the UK. Usually here in Ottawa we're waiting around for it to go through the UK, the US, Toronto, and finally maybe make it to us. Very bizarre. It was pretty, I'll give it that.

Thanks for the rec! I will have to read that!

Bought a new hard drive and tech!husband sorted it out for me. He comes in useful sometimes!

BH looks awfully pretty, but having read your review I have an awful feeling about it. I just adored Anthony Andrews in the original (and Aloysius!) and even quite liked Jeremy Irons (like you, I find him most off-putting usually). Hope I'm not too disappointed when I see it.

Yay for useful husbands! I still have to call the Ex when I have computer issues, and that's always so much fun.

It is pretty, very pretty. Let's just leave it at that. ;)

Hey, I was just talking with Shelly, and we wondered whether it'd be good to extend the discussion for another week to give you a chance. Or we can move ahead with presenting the stories that got us hooked on H/D. It's up to you -- we're both very bendy!

I was just re-reading both fics with a view to commenting this evening, so we can move ahead tomorrow, if that's OK. You are sweeties!

Cool! Just if any of us ever need to do that, it's perfectly fine. Shit happens!

Ack, I somehow missed this post where your hard drive failed! How did you stand it? I'm glad everything's sorted out again. *huggles*
