Ok so I wasn't the only one who never questioned #HughLaurie's American accent on #HouseMD lol, from reading the comments. I only knew he was British much later, specifically from watching BTS vids from after they had wrapped up the show. Since then, it feels so weird watching him in a British accent like in #JeevesAndWooster.
Side note: it's so sad to see him look rather old now :'))

#JeevesAndWooster
I'd kill for a modern reboot of Jeeves and Wooster.
Bertie to Jeeves via zoom call: “What is it Jeeves; you don't mean to say you disapprove of my sizeable investment in FinkNottleCoin?”
Jeeves: “Perish the thought sir; I fear the noise-reduction algorithm inadvertently censored my ululation.”
Bertie: “Oh. Right then.”
I am a Fairly Old Person who's been hanging around various fandoms for a few decades. Socialist, queer, kinky, neurodivergent, somewhat disabled.
My main fannish interest right now is #StrayKids (#skz). I've been skz-posting so much that I decided to make a side account, @skrr, just for skz-posting. Older skz posts will stay on this account, and new skz posts will be on @skrr.
Other fannish hyperfixations (past and present, major and minor) include:
- #ModaoZushi & #TheUntamed (especially #WangXian and #JuniorQuartet)
- #TianGuanCiFu
- #StreetDanceOfChina
- #YiZhan RPF (Wang Yibo / Xiao Zhan)
- #WangYibo himself (I'm responsible for the @YiboSemiDaily image-posting bot)
- #WordOfHonor
- #LegendOfFei
- #Given manga and anime
- #DemonSlayer
- #BokuNoHeroAcademia
- #HunterXHunter
- #TheAdventureZone
- #JeevesAndWooster
- #OurFlagMeansDeath
- #DetroitBecomeHuman
- #AubreyMaturin
- #Temeraire
- #OxygenNotIncluded
- #TheSims4
- #TheLordOfTheRings
- #XenaWarriorPrincess
I don't actively post about these things much these days, but you might see them pop up occasionally.
I occasionally visit other social sites (tumblr, tiktok, reddit) and boost stuff there, but almost never post in those places.
My non-fannish interests include #permaculture, #urbanism, #tarot, #manicure art, #chickens, and fibre arts, especially #knitting.
Some of my old knitting patterns are on Ravelry:

Bertie: "I don’t think much of this, Jeeves."
Jeeves: "No, sir."
Bertie: "No, I think Barmy’s musical prognostications have come a bit of a cropper this time. Dashed boring song is what this is. Oh well, I’d better push on to the end I suppose. Ah, now, this looks a bit more promising, yes."
Bertie: "Oh, you know, Jeeves, that bit where it goes 'ta da da-da-da da da, ump-a, ump-a'… it sends shivers down my spine, Jeeves"
Jeeves: "Well, perhaps if you were to put your jacket on you would feel the cold less keenly, sir"
Miss Stoker: "Hi Bertie. I didn't know you were musical"
Bertie: "Neither does Jeeves…"
Bertie: "Really speaks to me, that song, you know, Jeeves."
Jeeves: "I’m sorry to hear that, sir."
Bertie: "Would you like to hear the rest of it?"
Jeeves: "I shouldn't like to put you to any trouble, sir."
Bertie: "Do you know what I look for in a song, Jeeves?"
Jeeves: "Uh, not precisely, sir, no. I have often speculated."
Nothing to see here, merely Ira Gershwin being bloody marvellous as always.
"Well, if you want intellectual content...ah now, this is the one. Right, here we go…"
Taking a little break from The Cliff Edwards Project, since I now have a PDF of over 300 songs, and found myself considering tackling something similar but smaller. The plan to find every ukulele arrangement made by May Singhi Breen is going to take far too much effort to be fun right now, so instead I'm going to type up ukulele sheets for each song included in the Fry & Laurie "Jeeves and Wooster" series.
This is made considerably easier by my already having copies of most of them, along with the splendid work by several stout souls who have previously listed them all, such as here: https://youtu.be/6SLOTr1Ev7I
Still, if you've ever heard "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie" then you can understand why I hold out little hope for a decent ukulele version of it…

Bertie faces all kinds of threats: aunts, ladies wanting to be engaged, their spurned exes, and money borrowing friends. To top it all, his moustache incurs Jeeves' displeasure!

I've been watching the #FryAndLaurie #JeevesAndWooster series, and just realized the elevator operator who is a recurring character during the pair's New York stay in Series 3 is Ricco Ross, the rapping ringmaster in the classic 1988 #DoctorWho story "The Greatest Show in the Galaxy"!
