lizbeeIf you search "Frema Agyeman", which is Freema's birth name (changed professionally to avoid pronunciation confusion) in Google, you end up with links to Facebook accounts and the London Black Professionals Group.
Since I'm not actually stalking her, I took it no further, but I was ... curiously amused to find the extra results. I guess it's like looking up Lalla Ward in Debrett's Peerage. (Oh, don't look at me like that, of course I was going to. It's not like I made a special trip into the library or anything...)
It is a perfectly lovely afternoon of slack. I am drinking wine and hanging out with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
suburbannoir, whose post-"Revelations" (BSG) vid you should all watch and comment on because it is HILARIOUS, and watching old Billie Piper music videos. I have this vague memory of promising nostalgia_lj that if season 4 ends with Rose and the Doctor marrying and going off into the sunset to be domestic, I'd post a video of myself doing the "Because We Want To" dance to YouTube. suburbannoir says she'll do the same if the Doctor mentions unlimited rice pudding during the finale. It's not that I feel we need to learn the dance or anything, I just like the video. SHUT UP I AM LAME.
I am currently reading Bareback by Kit Whitfield. Whitfield, under the nom "Praline", is a reglar commenter at Slacktivist. Her book got uniformly positive remarks from the other commenters, who don't strike me as the types to give insincere compliments, so I decided to find the book. Actually, I was about to order it when I found it in a remainder bin. It's a legal thriller about werewolves. In a world much like our own, except that the majority of the human race are werewolves -- in fact, there is some debate as to whether non-lycos should even be called "human" at all. I'm not remotely interested in the vampire/werewolf subgenre of fantasy, but I'm really glad I overcame my prejudices and picked this up. The worldbuilding is brilliant and plausible, and it's nothing at all like the supernatural romances I've read, or tried to read. I'm only halfway through, but I'm totally sucked in. There is a mystery, and a romance, and a cranky heroine who is stuck in a bad situation with only her average skills, more-than-average tenacity and powerful desire not to screw up to guide her.
suburbannoir says that if the tenth Doctor regenerates into Jack Davenport, we'll be making piecesofalice do the "Because We Want To" dance. And she's a much better dancer than us, and, for example, still remembers 5ive dances from 1998. Fingers crossed.
