Calling out for Colin fans with video-making skills!
PLEASE can someone (who knows how to edit a video properly - unlike me!) make a video showing people exactly why Colin DESERVES to win Best Actor at the NTAs this year.
He is such an AMAZING actor, with such incredible range.
And I honestly think that he has worked his socks off, above and beyond Benedict and Matt, in 2012.
Merlin was, at times, let down by it’s script, but Colin ALWAYS delivered. I love them all - but Colin Morgan has truly earned this one.
So… just in case some people need prompting/reminding/convincing, I think a video would really help!
Plus it would be a nice tribute to his part in making ‘Merlin’ great.

(I just want him to get the recognition he deserves!)
My thoughts on the awards.
I think we should all vote for Merlin/Colin Morgan.
I know Matt Smith and Doctor Who are in the categories and I know Benedict Cumberbatch and Sherlock are in the categories, but…come on. Colin deserves to know that five years worth of acting weren’t for nothing.
VOTE FOR COLIN!
Do as your King commands, vote for Merlin (and Colin) at the NTA (here). Make sure you go through all the categories and enter your email address at the end so your vote counts.

Fans of Merlin‘s Colin Morgan will have their work cut out for them in stopping the Hiddles juggernaut, but they’ve pulled off startling upsets before. Meanwhile, Sherlock aficionados don’t escape the tournament without having our loyalties tested. Just because Loki needs love, doesn’t mean Hiddleston deserves to beat our Cols…
Cutest dog, really great, funny song, and the loveliest spirit that went into making it… “Happy still am I… I love me life, I love me house, and I love me family. And the thing that makes it all OK - my family loves me!”

I haven’t posted for an aaaaage - and I haven’t see The Avengers Assemble yet - and I’m only really familiar with The Hulk and Captain America - (although my Thor rental from LoveFilm did arrive today, so it won’t be long now until I go to the cinema and transform into an Avengers junkie)… but this was too good not to reblog immediately!

Please read… I don’t understand… I am disgusted… how dare they!
Some evil little s**ts made my Mum cry - and she was only just able to tell me, she welled up again when she did so.
Not yet 50, she was leaving her work, walking with a stick as she must do now, exhibiting a slight limp that people often overlooked before the pain became such that she was advised to always use a walking aid. Previously she would soldier on, very stoic, only occasionally leaning on my arm or using her ‘emergency’ stick. One leg is 10cm shorter than the other, her left shoe is built up as much as possible to make up for the shortfall.
She passed a group of young punks, with red and yellow hair and bubble boots, trying achingly hard to be cool. Not that their cultural affiliation or age is particularly important - shouting abuse at strangers is, after all, sadly not confined to the punk movement, nor teenagers. One of the boys was doubtless trying to impress the girls he was with. Apparently it worked because, when he shouted “FUCKING CRIPPLE” as she walked past, they giggled.
I scored 31500 - that is the estimated number of entries in a standard dictionary for which I would know at least one definition. Click the link (top right) to take the test yourself, and explore some of the interesting statistics gathered by the makers.
“…the series finale of Sherlock was edge-of-the-seat stuff.
How the writers will explain it at the start of series three is another matter. Maybe it should open with Watson in the shower, Dallas-style. Then Sherlock could join him for a (purely platonic) soaping down and whisper it…
About me
If you've ever seen Disney's 'Mary Poppins' you will remember the magical scene when the adults and children jump through the chalk street-drawing into an animated world full of dancing penguins and carousel horses that come to life. Burt attempts "a bit of magic" - he and the children think, wink, do a double blink, close their eyes, and jump... and find themselves still standing in the real world. Jane asks rather plaintively, "Is something supposed to happen?". Before long no-nonsense Mary takes them all into the drawing herself - a place where you can traverse a deceptively simple country road that turns out to be both "suitable for travel and high adventure".Sometimes you see or experience things that make you want to be a part of them. If you've ever wished you could be a crew-member of that amazing show that you love, if you've ever seen an image of something so gorgeous you just wanted to reach in and grab it, or if you've ever read about a world so utterly engrossing that you (like me at age 11) couldn't help but hope that that a Hogwarts letter might just have possibly come for you... then you know what I'm talking about.
I often see/watch/read things that I store in the back of my mind, or in an ever increasing folder on my Desktop called 'Random Stuff'. These things spark my imagination - and so I thought I would share them, in case they spark yours too. Hopefully you will also want to submit things that move you in that same way. We won't be able to jump into them all successfully - and like Jane you might well ask, "Is something supposed to happen?" For me it is enough (for now) to be able to picture that country road, even though I can't yet reach it - to make that jump... those leaps of faith where, in that moment, you believe that anything is possible. One day that leap will pay off, and I'll land on that seemingly simple country road. I'm not sure where I might travel on it, and I'm not clear exactly which of the high adventures that I can dream of await me along it. Until I get there I want to revel in those things that spark my imagination, that make me want to jump right in! Won't you join me?
