everybody loves the sound of a train in the distance, everybody thinks it's true

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 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 stormymouse's site (definitely an EFS--Essential Fannish Site. Go tell her how much you love her for it). A couple of them are 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:

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:

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

Fraser. Benton Fraser.:

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 think I've psyched myself up for AE, because I'm shallow like that. 20,000 Leagues makes me wince a little.

Whale Music, I'll see, but for reasons having nothing to do with Paul Gross and everything to do with Maury Chaykin, because I love him, and I've heard he's amazing in this one. Like he's not in everything else he does.

Well, whenever I think about watching one of those 'wince inducing' projects, I just remind myself that it earned him a paycheque and got him some exposure. There are worse things to be than a stand-out performer in a crappy film.

Maury Chaykin kind of gives me the wig. Not that he isn't a great actor, but something about him has always made nervous ::shrugs:: So, Whale Music is all about Paul for me :)

I think Maury's supposed to make people nervous. And I figure if I could find him brilliant in Cold Comfort and still want to see more of his work, I'm safe.
