GUYS GUYS GUYS WEDNESDAY WAS SO AWESOME THAT YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE IT.

Well, actually, it's a completely believeable sort of awesome. BUT IT WAS STILL SO SO AWESOME AND I AM SO HAPPY.

Basically, what happened was this: I went to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with

th_esaurus (ah, suddenly the Piers Morgan picture makes complete sense! except, y'know, not), and it was absolutely bloody brilliant. It was fun and ridiculous and gloriously, gloriously mad, and Lee Mead (who was definitely the right person to win Any Dream Will Do) ran around with a manic (and adorable) grin that reminded me quite severely of the Doctor. Lee Mead as the eleventh incarnation of the Doctor, with the technicolor coat as his outfit and a slightly worrying tendency to burst into song: awesome?

(But the coat was not red and yellow and green and brown and scarlet and black and ochre and peach and ruby and olive and violet and fawn and lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve and cream and crimson and silver and rose and azure and lemon and russet and grey and purple and white and pink and orange and red and yellow and green and brown and blue! WHAT SORT OF TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT IS THAT? The song lied to me! I disapprove!)

In the interval, we discussed such marvellous topics as 'James May' as rhyming slang, the Master running around in the technicolor dreamcoat (yes, my mind really is in crossover mode all the time; I cannot quite remember how this came about - I think it was because

th_esaurus started singing 'I Can't Decide' - but I was quite insistent about it), Joseph's alarming slave outfit (complete with what was, essentially, a skirt) and the fact that the musical was so utterly, wonderfully insane that it felt like watching a joint project by the members of

topgearslash (they are all lunatics. All of them).

Also, I got to introduce

th_esaurus to my mother, who is wonderful and one of the few people from my Real Life in front of whom I can discuss Holmes/Watson mpreg and a Voldemort/Dobby fic (someone else's, I hasten to add) containing the line 'Dobby has been a naughty house-elf and needs to be punished'* completely unselfconsciously.

th_esaurus has basically promised (no matter what she may say) to write and direct the minimalist musical, 'Joseph and the Amazing Monochrome Dreamcoat'. Piers Morgan will play the role of Joseph. The ending will be the stage going dark and a large sign proclaiming 'ROCK FALLS, EVERYONE DIES'. It will be amazing. So there is something for you to look forward to! In the meantime, go and watch Joseph, because it is so much fun. (And watch it with

th_esaurus if you can, because she's brilliant.)

Oooh, that sounds like endless reams of fun and good times! I'm so happy for youuuu. :D

Also good to know that Lee is actually good at being Joseph, as I spent a lot of time pretending not to watch Joseph-the-singing-show (and failing, as every time John Barrowman appeared I would flail and giggle) swinging wildly between liking him and not liking him (the wildness of those two choices astounds me!).

The eleventh Doctor should burst into song more, yes, I agree. And should have a multi-coloured coat: we've had leather and hot-sweeping-brown, it is time for The Campest Coat Ever to Camp, really.

It really was!

And he was indeed a marvellous Joseph. When he was coming down onto the stage at the beginning, he looked stern and austere at first, but then the audience started cheering and applauding and he broke into a massive, adorable grin. Oh, Lee.

LEE MEAD FOR ELEVENTH DOCTOR. IT WILL BE GLORIOUS.

I'm going to see Joseph for somebody's birthday later this month. I've been told we're all going as a colour; I am, apparently, purple. I don't know an awful lot about musicals, but I did once watch my friend's brother play Joseph in a school production. There was a bit about a chariot, I seem to remember, only it was a scooter painted gold, because it was a junior school and they didn't have much of a budget. Still! I look forward to it, although I do feel a bit bad about various friends who are all "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE LEE MEAD" and I'm all "I didn't even watch this show, I'm clearly not going to appreciate it as much as you would, I'M VERY SORRY".

Eeee, have a fantastic time! Even if you're not familiar with Lee Mead, that won't change the fact that it is two hours of beautiful, glorious lunacy. (Also, all going as a colour is such a brilliant idea.)

AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT.

also lol, I CONCUR. LEE FOR DOCTOR!ELEVEN/MASTER!SEVEN.

IT WAS SO GREAT.

And Lee has to be the Doctor, because the next Master has to be Jess of The Real Hustle! It will be an extremely hot series of Doctor Who.

Of course.

my mother, who is wonderful and one of the few people from my Real Life in front of whom I can discuss Holmes/Watson mpreg and a Voldemort/Dobby fic containing the line 'Dobby has been a naughty house-elf and needs to be punished'* completely unselfconsciously.

Your mother sounds ace! Can I have one?

I'm rather envious as mine is only slightly mad (example of a genuine text message: No soggy moggy, puss in boots who can see the darkness! Microwaved chopstick. E.P. In dahouse! Return to sender!) and doesn't slash anybody.

Heeee! Is the message a cryptic clue you're expected to decipher? I've been trying for some time to work out what it could possibly mean and, er, failed.

Oh, it's one of my regular updates from home- fortunately, I'm fluent in mad.

Though may I ask what the hell were you looking for to find H/W Mpreg? (And now I want to know: was Watson the pregnant one? Though part of me thinks they may have made Holmes carry the baby just so Watson could deliver and the rest of me is just yelling WRONG as loud as it can.)

Er, are you sure you want to know?

dracothelizard, because she is pure evil, sent me a link to a Holmes/Watson spanking fic. I went 'AUGH WHY WHY', she went 'THERE ARE LOONIES IN EVERY FANDOM. OH GOD, WHAT IF THERE IS HOLMES/WATSON MPREG?', and then, of course, I had to go looking for it.

Holmes was the pregnant one. Watson delivered.

And Severus Snape was their grandchild.

And Severus Snape was their grandchild.

...

You're joking, right? Right?

See, Snape as Holmes I could get, but who'd be Watson?

Stephen Gately's coat was rubbish - it only had seven colours. Seven! I ask you.

Your mind is wonderful - I would never have thought of Dobby/Voldemort.

Oh, good Lord, the Dobby/Voldemort wasn't my idea! No, both the Dobby/Voldemort and the Holmes/Watson mpreg were fics I stumbled across when venturing into the more worrying parts of the Internet. There are some realms of insanity of which even I am wary.

Ahhhh, right, gottit.

Lee Mead as the Doctor. YOU GENIUS.

IT WOULD BE THE BEST THING EVER. I actually seriously want this, and it makes me very sad that it will probably never happen.

He would be like Eight only EVEN MORE BOUNCY. And the random breaking into song would be the most awesome quirk. It'd thoroughly confuse all his enemies and his companion(s) would think he was even more insane because he'd be sitting there wielding a spanner and crooning love-songs to the TARDIS.

...I need to see Joseph. Gah! And not the touring one, either.
