Well, I wrote another In the Flesh fic, so I'll post here again, just in case any of you are tempted...

So there's that! I'm proud of it, but it sure needs a brit-pick...I'm so lazy about betas now. What has happened to me??

I was up really late last night watching various Robin Williams scenes and interviews, shedding some tears. It's always odd to feel sad over the loss of someone you only know through their work, but this one really got me...so many really influential moments in my life have a corresponding Robin Williams film, from Popeye as a child, to Good Morning Vietnam when I was just starting to understand how much I love the exploration of war through art (that was middle school) to Dead Poets as an angsty teen, to Fisher King in high school (god, seeing that movie has a life changing story with it for me...) I even have this crystal clear memory from very small childhood of being at my friends house and watching a video of his stand-up, and during the entended riff on the name of his penis ("Mr. Happy"), I had this epiphany that I must be growing up since I was allowed to watch this now.

Take care of each other. *hugsyou*

Indeed, I've also wondered how and when he got down-time from all of that energy. *nods*

As I said to bk7 above, I think a memorial movie marathon will be in order. His filmography is simply full of many of my favorites- and I think it is a tribute to his skill as an actor that I don't love them as "Robin Williams movies," but instead just love them and he is a key part of them.

So lovely to see you, dear Smoke. Have you watched In the Flesh yet??? *nudges*

I haven't watched it, no. No tv, and I don't watch things on my computer....
