Well, Then...

[przed]

I've just spent the last three nights watching Take That videos on You Tube, poking about Hell Yeah Take That! on Tumblr, reading Take That RPS, and yes, buying the newest Take That album on iTunes.

Also, I've talked a friend into seeing The Eagle on Monday night at the very last theatre in the area still showing it. (Okay, it didn't take much talking into. I might have mentioned there was slash. And said friend might have enthusiastically agreed to go.)

I blame some of you.

And when I say some of you, I mostly mean halotolerant and sineala. And Robbie Williams, of course.

And really, I should say "credit" rather than "blame."

Here, have the Take That vid that started all of this:

And a pic of Jamie Bell in The Eagle.



I now return to my regularly scheduled session of drabble writing. (Starsky & Hutch for loyseofverlaine!) Though is it really a drabble when it's edging ever closer to 1,000 words?

Gary's book is definitely worth having. Mind you, I spent a year buying every last published item relating to Take That on ebay (what do you mean 'not surprised to hear that'? *g*) so I'm clearly not necessarily a judge of utter necessity...

*g* They're not bad at that. This is why I'm so excited about the 2011 live shows - that level of dedication plus Robbie's level of inspiration... *bounces*

And wow, I've just realised I forgot to tell you about the maybe bestest ever Mark/Robbie quote of all time, from the first of the two glossy photo books Take That put out in 2009, basically pictures with some few comments on each from some or all of them, including one early one of Rob licking Mark's nose and Gary's comment:
Mark will never say this. A girl has never broken his heart. But Robbie did, the day he left the band (in the Jan 5th entry below loads of other goodies here:http://robandmark-.tumblr.com/)

Just, you know, for inspiration and that *g*

For that price, I'm definitely going to give the book a go. Shall just have to hide it from the Sweetie. (He rather suspects I've gone off the deep end with the TT love. And he's totally right. But I don't have to let him know that. *g*)

I'm hoping they do DVDs of this year's live shows. And I'll be getting them as soon as they come out.

I've seen that quote kicking around--and it kills me--and that pictures, but didn't realize they'd shown up together.

I've also seen copies of those books kicking around on Amazon.ca for about twenty bucks, which is a lot less than they're turning up for on Amazon UK. (Noooo, not more merch!)

As for that Tumblr feed, it has killed me ded. These are the pics I knew must be kicking around! One of the Jan. 5 entries, with Robbie hugging Mark, and Mark with his eyes closed leaning back into Robbie, is now officially my favourite pic ever! (I shall endeavour to stop abusing exclamation marks now. Really! *g*)

Oh no doubt there'll be a DVD. It was the biggest selling album in two decades in the UK *g*

Take One and Take Two are lovely but not vital in terms of written content. Visual content now, well... *g* But I guess you might as well save something for later! I envy you getting to see all this stuff for the first time *g*

Thought you might enjoy *g* Those pics are from the promo around the 'Pray' video when Mark was almost too beautiful to exist! But oh yes, srsly, Mark *adores* snuggling into Robbie. He always looks happiest there, and just the right height too!

Rob's book (sort of autobiography/documentary but written by another person) 'Feel' has some lovely bits but also a lot of stuff non-TT/Markie related, so to save another purchase you could just look at the relevant bits here (http://community.livejournal.com/takethatslash/157624.html) if you haven't already! Knebworth concert related-stuff *g*
