Stephen Fry Appreciation Monday – the Dongle
-
Dear faithful readers – happy Stephen Fry Appreciation Monday!
Did you watch last night’s Kingdom? Did you, did you? I hope you did
Anyhow this post isn’t about Kingdom (which by the way did attract 21% of the rating share, which is an improvement from last week’s 19%) but about Dongle.
I love Dongle. Love.It!
I thought it was going to be a story in installments which delighted me to no end because in a way (even though it is an audio) it does remind me of that feeling when you watch a telly show and you are really, REALLY eager to find out what happens next (usually Lost will do that to me).
But when it turned out it was a whole quest thing… well I was tickled pink.
Mind you I am blond after all and I still don’t have a clue who is the author behind those two paintings. I got this silly idea in my head that it might be something out of Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Don’t ask me why, I know it would make more sense if the author behind them was British.
I am a great fan of Dalí, Miro, Picasso, Klimt with an occasional interest in Toulouse-Lautrec, Monet, Van Gogh, Cezanne and Gauguin. So it is no wonder I don’t have a clue who is the serious looking man with a dead pigeon on his head. And the other one leaves me baffled as well.I should get cracking and do some research but frankly it’s awfully hot and Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot is begging for my attention (I think managed to get a mild case of sunstroke today because I went for a stroll point A to point B around noon for 45 minutes with no hat on and no water – how blond of me eh?)
So tell me dear readers – have you unlocked the mystery of the two paintings?
Oh and on the side note our lovely Mr. Fry just tweeted this – for one pound you can be a movie producer and get your names on the closing credits. Check out Buyacredit.com.
What a neat little idea – I do wish I came up with it myself
