FLICKer FADE SUNDAY: Scene from the Men’s Toilet at a Ceilidh
Featuring LGBT short films I found around the interwebz a.k.a Youtube. Okay sucky intro, but yeah, that’s it.
It’s a family affair, and Rory (Ben Walsh) is on familiar ground. He knows each burly man who comes in for a mid-dance piss break, and his dad is playing the fiddle in the band. But Dan (Joe Sefton), his visiting boyfriend, couldn’t be further out of place – and there’s something Rory hasn’t told him. Once Rory manages to coax him out the cubicle, previously unaddressed questions over masculinity and communication are brought to the fore and their conversation unfurls into a flaming row, paused at regular intervals by urinating family friends, and incongruously underscored throughout by the rising ceilidh music coming through the wall.
At first I was wondering why this won awards because this is just two blokes and their drama. The film had me going “you have every right to be angry, English boy” and just like that, it shifted to “let’s go hug poor Scots boy“.
Now I know.

THE MUSIC TAG
Here are the rules:
- Write ten songs that come on shuffle (no skipping).
- Write your favorite lyric from each song.
- Tag some people.
Thing is, I don’t make a playlist. When I’m in the mood to play DJ, I scroll through my entire album collection, pick a song, play it, then repeat the process seconds before the song is over. I don’t know why I prefer it like this.
So for this tag, I’m just going to randomly pick a song. I’m not going to recommend one that I have not listened to before
Here goes…

FIRST LINES FRIDAY 56: Of Starred Ones and Amaranthines
“First Line Fridays” is by Hoarding Books and is all about the first line of a current/upcoming read. Friday 56 is a meme hosted by Freda’s Voice, where you turn to page 56 (or 56%) in what you’re reading a find a snippet that jumps out at you. The idea to combine the two came from Kat @ Here There Be Dragons“
I found this meme on The Writerly Way. And I’m doing this on a Thursday just to be difficult.

I found this tag on Chelle’s Book Ramblings . It’s simple and fun. I thought I would put my own spin on it and make it a weekly thing.
