Hooray for LJ being back up. However, am very very unhappy today, so I ask this: leave me something nice for to read/look at when I get back from work? Link to fic, song lyrics, pictures, anything non-sad.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We extort, we pilfer we filch and sack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Maraud and embezzle and even high-jack
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We kindel and char inflame and ignite
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We burn up the city we're really a fright
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

We're rascals, scoundrels villains and knaves
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
We're devils and black sheep - really bad eggs
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er-do-well cads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho
Aye, but we'er loved by our mommies and dads
Drink up me hearties, yo ho

Can I add a link to a clip of Ioan as John Gray from Wilde?

He just looks so vulnerable, and...open, it takes my breath away.

Fingers crossed that (1) the html is correct and (2) that the site actually works. I'm fumbling around trying to learn how to ftp files to my newly acquired webspace - you have the honour of being offered the first ever download! :)

I like how you say "something nice" and your friends are all "kitties and PORN!"

Kitty.

Porn.

An essay on beauty.

And abject horror. Hey, if embracing mackereality doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will. Maybe the fact that Pip got attacked by a parrot yesterday?

can i just take a minute to say

omfg! is that Allan Cumming and Ian McKellan in a hot tub!? where do you find these things?

and that photo of Ioan is lovely, but is he holding a wooden spoon?

and the M+C icon just made me snort coffee out of my nose.

don't know if it helped Dala, but you certainly cheered me up - Thanks!

Ah, the internet is a wonderful thing. I forget where it's from, but I've got it saved to photobucket, so I can share it whenever I want.

I think so. I like the watch more.

I've called that icon the best icon ever, and given people's reactions, it just might be.

You're welcome.

Music -the Ballad of Mad Jack (http://s25.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0G8S5B2K8BSY81FNOR0CQXZH8G)
Some plotless smut in case you missed it yesterday (http://www.livejournal.com/users/shrieking_ell/4599.html)

Mary Ellen Carter (Stan Rogers )

She went down last October in the pouring, driving rain.
The skipper he’s been drinking and the mate he felt no pain.
Too close to Three Mile Rock and she was dealt her mortal blow
And the Marry Ellen Carter sitting low.
There was just us five aboard her when she finally was a-wash.
We worked like hell to save her all headless of the cost.
And the groan she gave as she went down, it caused us to proclaim
That the Mary Ellen Carter’d rise again.
Well, the owners wrote her off, not a nickel would they spend.
"She gave twenty years of service, boys, and met her sorry end.
but insurance paid the loss to us, so let her rest below",
They laughed at us and said we’d had to go.
But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock,
She’s worth a quarter million, a-floating at the dock.
And with every jar that hit the bar we swore we would remain
And watch the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
Chorus:
Rise again, rise again,
Let her name not be lost to the knowledge of men
For those who loved her best and were with her to the end,
We’ll make the Mary Ellen Cater, rise again.
All spring, now, we’ve been with her on a barge lent by a friend.
Three dives a day in a hard hat suit and twice I’ve had the bends. Thank God it’s only sixty feet and the currents her are slow
Or I’d never have the strength to go below.
But we’ve patched her rents, and stopped her vents,
dogged hatch and porthole down
Put cables to her ‘for and aft and girded her around
And tomorrow, noon, we hit the air and then take up the strain
And watch the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
Chorus
For we couldn’t leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale.
She’d save our lives so many times, living through the gale,
And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave,
They won’t be laughing in another day.
And you, to whom adversity has dealt that final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of and heart and brain
And, like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!
Last Chorus 2x
Rise again, rise again,
Thou your heart, it be broken, your life about to end,
No matter what you’ve lost, be it a home, a love, a friend,
Be like the Mary Ellen Carter:
RISE AGAIN!
