I had a fantabulous weekend!!
I and Chris (the writer of the epic and soon to be legendary Phoenix Fire) went up to Manchester to stay with the very spangly and cuddly Freyja ([Unknown site tag] ) Needless to say it was a riot!
I drove up on Saturday with Chris who sat and listened patiently to me blather for 5 hours plus. She truly is a great woman! She also had my choice of music inflicted on her so strictly she ought to be awarded a sainthood. I managed to not get us too lost thankfully and it was very wonderful to see Freyja again!
Saturday night was devoted to eating the wonderful meal that Freyja had cooked for us and Wingfield/Highlander burbling. Mmmmm home made ice cream! Freyja is a fabulous cook, I listened with awe and amazement as she and Chris discussed food. I have all the cooking ability of a small pebble.
I do know about beer however and there was was much quaffage by me in that department! We watched the Horsemen/Revelations episodes of Highlander because...well because. Freyja and I MST'ed them to death and I suspect poor Chris is scarred for life. Particular highlights were Freyja's comments about Silas walking like they had run out of bog roll. This led to the idea being posited that the reason the Horsemen took Cassandra was to have someone to change the bog roll and the light bulbs in their lair.
This of course inevitably led to the 'How Many Horsemen Does It Take To Change a Lightbulb?' joke.
A: None apparently they prefer flaming torches!
*Ka-boom-ching* Yes we were all quite drunk since you ask...
Then we watched my new DVD of 'Uncovered' which Freyja had never seen. Heh! She was soon a small puddle of lust like the rest of us. Max is just too gorgeous for words. Definitely the best opening scene ever as well...::sighs::: I cannot tell you how good it was to see the film in crystal clear digital quality. It made Max's assets even easier to admire!
Then we watched most of a pirated copy of X2. More Peter squeeing while I rambled on about the X-men in a geeky fashion and explained the Dark Phoenix storyline to Freyja.
Then my brain shut down and I had to go to bed. This had nothing to do with the amount of beer I had drunk of course, more that I was very tired ::coughs::
On Sunday we all went to the Royal Armories in Leeds. I'll write more about that in a while, now I have to go get my hair cut!

Aw shucks...
Now all we have to do is enrol Kronos for that anger management class and we're done! :)

*ROTFLMAO* Oh ye gods I'd forgotten about the 4 Horsemen in counselling conversation.
Yeah I can so *see* Kronos responding well ...;)
