Christopher Eccleston is fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic. *dreamy eyes* The rest of the actors were good, too, but my attention did focus pretty exclusively in his direction when he was on. The role was great for him, too, perfect for him to showcase his amazing grasp of emotion. On a shallow note, I might have gotten a tad too excited when he showed up all disheveled with the top of his shirt open and my mind did a little gasp followed by the word "skin!" It wasn't that much, anyway, but I love seeing men all messy.

I also saw Tom Hollander coming out of the theatre. I don't think anyone else recognized him since no one stopped him. He passed by right next to me. It was definitely him. He's only a few inches taller than me. And yet even though he's one my favourite actors, I didn't start squeeing all over the place asking for an autograph. Though I also I got a little stuck on the double take and didn't come out of it until after he walked away, so too late, I didn't want to bug him, anyway.

Thankfully, my stomach did not act up much during the play, except when I drank some water, because I was awfully thirsty. I’m taking a new antacid now. It seems to be working. I just ate a full meal and I'm still hungry.

New drawing! I did this while waiting in the ER for the second time.




ETA: Further proof that I'm weird: To "cheer myself up" while I was agonizing in bed, my mind fed me one of the saddest Plaude bunnies in the universe. The hell? Stuff that makes me cry does not help, brain. What's the matter with you?

Aw, I'm so thrilled that you had a good time! And that you got to see CE all mussed, because that's definitely how he looks best. Mussed and/or casual. Mm. And I'm glad your stomach is feeling better ;)

He did look so much more amazing mussed than while he was tidy in his suit. It was amazing just to see him there, like actually, physically there. *hops in contented circles*

Oh, guh, now I want to see that. Right near me. Close enough to touch. If I had really long arms. Or something. Damn, I'm actually flustered at the possibility.

I'm thinking of going over another night and hanging around the back door. I did so for a while tonight, but I was so extremely hungry that I decided to go home. But I'm seriously willing to stay there the entire night. Because I'm crazy that way. He has to come out sometime. Gillan Anderson (she was lovely in her role) came by the front for a couple of minutes to sigh some autographs, but no one else did. She's not the only one who has fans, theatre people.

I get the feeling that he doesn't do a lot of the meeting fans stuff. Which is his prerogative, to be sure, and I know if I had a chance to actually come face to face meet with him I might be a bit...likely to pass out, but it's a bit disappointing as well.

I heard someone say that he comes out sometimes after the evening shows, so maybe. I've run into celebrities (okay, two; it's not that many) and haven't gotten starstuck. Granted, one was a boxer, so I didn't care, but the other was Tom Hollander tonight. And he's on my list of favourite actors. Though I don't fangilr over him like I do with CE. He mentioned something about us (the autograph seeking crowd) wanting to the head to the back.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Well, I'll wish you luck. I might even try that if I don't end up getting a ticket. I guess we'll see.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

Hee. I was considering suggesting that to you. I felt a little odd standing around today by myself while everyone else was chatting.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Hee. We can do that after ComicCon, just to fully cement our status as big ol' geeks!

[guanin.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Let the geekfest begin!

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Wooo! Our people!

Oh boy, you lucky, lucky thing. I hope you enjoyed the hell out of that play, and I'm so glad all the medical excitement's passed.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

I'm still bouncing. The whole play was good and he was awesome. It's too early to determine if the health crisis has passed yet (I thought it had this Monday, but no dice), but I'm going to take my meds until I finish them off like I good, little girl this time.

[lotus0kid.livejournal.com]

I'll bet you are, as you should be! What was the play about, exactly?

I'm going to take my meds until I finish them off like I good, little girl this time.
That's definitely a good idea. People get in trouble when they decide they don't need all the medicine they've been given.

It's about a woman who appears to be in a great marriage, but realizes at the end that her husband doesn't really love her and just likes her because she's pretty and fulfills her wifely duties, even after she risked her repuation by taking out an under the counter loan to help cover up her husband's depression and save his political image. CE plays her husband's rival, who aided her with her loan and is now being accused of fraud, so he's desperate because the press is dragging him through the mud. It might be my bias, but I found his character very sympathetic.
