Happy birthday siljamus!!!!!!!!

It came to my attention that yesterday was also the birthday of [livejournal.com profile] siljamus!! Happy belated birthday!!!!!!!I hope you had a lovely day full of every wonderful thing!

Something for you behind the cut below, a painting I saw in "Tate Britain" on Tuesday, "Hope" by George Frederic Watts. There is something about it that is in equal parts disturbing and soft and it is "calling" to me in a way that makes me want to drop everything and solve the mystery behind it.

London streets can be lovely to walk through. :)

I hope it does ease up a little - I do worry it may be the opposite of everyone rushing to it during its final weeks... :(

May I ask who that is in your icon?

It is gorgeous Kyle Schmid, the lead from "Blood Ties" (a vampire detective show) : Blood Ties info (http://www.tv.com/blood-ties/show/68415/summary.html)

Hee!! I think they been showing it on the "Living" channel, so may be there will be a repeat one day. :D

Kyle plays this too-hot-to-live vampire who is also an illegitimate son of Henry VIII. :D

My Goodness!

The 'too-hot-to-live' part sounds about right... :P

I don't have Living TV though... I'm incredibly out of date with most of these things, in fact. I don't have digital television or satelite or any such thing.

The first season is quite cheap on Amazon, actually, Here :

The show has some cheesiness factor but Kyle and his romantic interest are totally worthy of watching.

Aha! Oh, thank you so much for pointing that out! :D I just may yield to temptation and buy it... :P
