Yay! It’s online! Anna and I’ve been quite busy in recent weeks and are really proud of our little baby. Claire really caught my attention in Little Dorrit and I reading interviews with her only made me more appreciative of the talented British actress. Not sure why I resisted a website for her last November but I’m sure it had something to do with my vow not to have a new website when I was neglecting the ones I already had. Never mind that, when Anna suggested we opened one I remembered all the reasons why I adored Claire and also I was excited about the idea of working together with Anna for the first time!

Mariana created the lovely header and I adapted my recent Marion WP theme.

So far, I’ve never really been lucky when it came to being part of a team on a website. Well, AnnaPaquinFan was really good, but I really only came onboard late and only to help out Angie. And it seems it only lasted a second. But apart from that… First of all, I’ve always liked to work alone on my precious websites about Sophia and Marion (also Scarlett, back when I still had it). And then there were a few occasions when one or both of us lost interest etc, so things just went their natural course. Really, I’ve no hard feelings at all about those instances. It just wasn’t meant to happen & I myself am partly responsible. But then there were times when everything I heard about someone’s commitment to a project sounded so fabulous and honest and serious, I stopped whatever I was doing and made it all happen. After everything was set up (or a very short while later) there was complete silence on the other end. Matthew and Emily were the sites in question. Anyway, not sure why I’m talking about all that now, but I’m sure I’ll have a great time on Claire Foy Source with Anna!

Not sure if I’ll be keeping my Fragment of Light site, but I’d really love to use it for all those screencaps etc I intended it for when I opened it. If only I had some more time & motivation to updated it! Let’s hope that’ll soon come!

Other than that I’ve read the first Sookie Stackhouse novel and kind of liked it. I mean it’s nothing deep but it’s good fun. I don’t see however, how fans of the book would condemn True Blood for its kinky scenes. Sure, the book only has those that involve Sookie, but she’s intended to be the innocent character, at the beginning at least. So what exactly did you guys think was going on in other people’s lives??!! Nothing?! Some people never cease to amaze me. The scenes might not be to their liking but to say they have nothing to do with the book is such a self-deceiving lie. Whatever makes them happy I guess.

As for True Blood, I’ve only seen the first episode of the new season yet. I’m not as enthusiastic about it as others are, but then I’ve always kind of felt ambiguous about the show. Also, I would never have said I’m into vamire stories. Go figure why I enjoyed Moonlight and why I keep watching True Blood. Well, there’s something about it that intrigues me. Not least Anna’s involvement. Though I have to say she looks too thin this season, also something about the shade of her hair is slightly off. It all gives her a “hard” look, and she looks kind of old. Well, I seem to be picky, what do you want?! I’m still in love with Erik played by Alexander Skarsgard (don’t care about the spelling right now) and if nothing else he’ll keep me watching lol

About actresses being too thin… Scarlett Johansson has come under quite some scrutiny lately. My opinion on the matter. Had she not lost some weight for the role, she’d be equally critizised, at least when the film comes out. Besides, she’s never really been curvy. Well, she’s got cleavage yes, but that’s just genes. No one who just happens to have large breasts but is otherwise very slim deserves to be commended for being “healthy” and “non-Hollywood” when others are more flat-chested but really more naturally curvy. Scarlett’s always had great legs and slim arms, people just never noticed because she always wore those tight and revealing dresses. It seemed to me she couldn’t press her cleavage enough, couldn’t make people notice it enough. It always looked as if everything would pop out any second. Now, apart from the weight loss the more significant change is her style of dress. The outfits aren’t as lowcut, as tight, as revealing. On pictures, black fabric makes it very hard to figure out what someone looks like in reality. So when people show me a pic of her dressed in some white skin-hugging fabric and a low-cut bodice next to one of her dressed in some black almost old-fashioned dress to “prove” that she lost more than she said I can just shake my head. Get over it people, she’s always been slimmer than most people I know in real life!

Oh. My God. That Claire Foy header is just to die for. Mannn…

I’ve always preferred working on my sites solo. I’ve tried co-webbing (read: co-founding) websites several times, but often it’s turned out unsuccessful in some way or other. Nowadays I only co-web at two websites, neither of which I have founded or worked on in any “real” depth, which I think suits me the best, because I have less invested then, and other things can take priority. I’m just a helping hand.

Co-founding a site with someone is another deal altogether, though, and something I think is pretty unsuitable for me. I try to be as methodical as I can in managing my sites, and although I’m never quite as consistent or organized as I want to be (i.e. I screw up my own system), I don’t like my system, good or no, being poked by others, particularly anyone unfamiliar with it. I have a very specific style in updates, quoting sources and project titles, in naming and organizing my files and folders, coding, setup etc. I think a lot of people do. I just really like my way, and am very appreciative of consistency. I’m just very… non-flexible in that way. So to avoid “fuck-ups” from an outside influence in addition to those of my own, if I start a fan site, I do it myself.

Also, I’m very bad at keeping my promises.
