Mom Update:

My mom's at Westerly Hospital as of this morning, apparently with low BP and messed-up labs/EKG. I spoke to her on the phone, and since [livejournal.com profile] songdog's going to go down there, she figured I could go tomorrow. She's getting two more units of blood, which she dismisses as "I've been anaemic all my life", to which I said, "Yeah, but you didn't need to get a transfusion every couple of weeks all your life." She said the EKG is abnormal, but that could mean anything, and she didn't know why, either.

She was doing completely fine until two days ago, so I don't know. I hope it's just meds and there's not anything funky like an internal bleed of some sort going on, because that would likely mean more surgery and that's just not cool. She's got a ton of stamina, so I'm concerned, but not worried at the moment. At least I'm trying not to be.

And because I need an injection of good moodiness,here's some

post-as-you-go picspam! In other words, I'm (fairly) randomly pic-surfing, so I have no idea what I'm posting until I do it. Most of these caps are from the lovely and talented [livejournal.com profile] stormymouse's site (definitely an EFS--Essential Fannish Site. Go tell her how much you love her for it). A couple of them are [livejournal.com profile] sara_merry99's caps.

Firstly, a fandom gymnastics lesson.

Demonstrated here is the proper presentation of Paul Gross Arms, Modified Form #1:

Paul Gross Arms, Modified Form #2 (AKA Paul Gross Arm). Note placement of legs, as proper leg positioning is essential to correct stance:

Look, it's Baby!Geoffrey with Anna Scorpio:

Baby!Geoffrey does research for a role as a priest without losing his fashion sense:

Baby!Geoffrey angsts very prettily:

OTP OF ALL TIME, YES:

This is Fraser. He wears three shirts, because dressing in layers is warm:
7.

This is also Fraser. Sometimes he doesn't wear as many shirts, like in prison where it's warmer:
8.

Fraser wears blue a lot, except when he's working for Truth, Justice, and the Canadian Way. Then he wears red serge, with a very high collar:
9.

Unless of course, he's wearing this, which he doesn't do nearly enough:
10.

Fraser. Benton Fraser.:
11.

This is the AntiFraser. I don't know how many shirts he wears. I'm not sure if I want to find out but I'm willing to give it the old college try:
12.

My Geoffrey, all grown up. You know that he's half-crazy, but that's why you want to be there [/Leonard Cohen] :

This isn't Geoffrey, he just plays him on TV:

Well, okay, it started out random.

I'm suddenly craving a smoothie. Mambo smoothie, to be precise, from the Garden Grille.

Oh, and also, does anyone get the Hallmark Channel? Because, I'd really like a clear recording of this.

I have a potential Passchendaele-linked present for you. I was trying to find some of my relatives who live in Saskatechwan, and came across a Canadian Military Records site...so I did the obvious search and came up with this:

Now I'm not 100% certain that this is the right person - he has an older brother by the same name - but all the details and ages seem to sort of fit, given what we know.

If it is the right guy then the Irish thing certainly explains...well, quite a lot about Paul LOL.

This guy was Scottish, not Irish, which means if this is the right person then Paul is Scots-Irish, which explains even more. He's got the black Irish colouring, though.

Where did you get he was Scottish when it said his birth place was County Carlow, Ireland?

Okay, I read it entirely wrong. I really thought it said "Scotland", when yes, it does say "Ireland".

Dear Lord, it's time for bifocals. *headdesk*

Snort, don't worry, I thought I had read it wrong as well, when you said Scotland! But no, it's all Ireland. Which still makes a lot of sense.

I figured, anyway. I can spot black Irish anywhere. :)
