Ok so the phone line is out in my flat. No dialtone = no internet = no tumblr = saaaadface. Knowing British Telecom it’ll be a few weeks till I’m back among the living. So forgive me a brief hiatus, I’ll return soon as I can and better than ever (with no doubt lots of Man of Steel feels to have all over your dash) but till then this is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.
When you're with us you don't have to be quiet

So there’s a guy who works on the same floor as me: he’s built like Paul Bettany, he has froofy Hugh-Grant-in-4-Weddings hair, and he dresses like one of the Tweed/anglophilia blogs. No, but really.
He is a problem when I’m trying to get work done.
Today in things that make my day: Colin Firth and Ben Barnes act out the scene from Eddie Izzard’s bit about British film on the set of a movie (I believe Easy Virtue).
If you’re an Izzard fan this is a must-watch.
“I’m always in here. Moving books slightly to the left.”
Just brilliant!
‘What is it Sebastian? I’m arranging matches.’

Self Portrait (c 1895) - Rupert Bunny [Art Gallery of New South Wales] + bonus photograph of the artist c.1910 [private collection]
Representing Australia in the “cheeky as f*ck” olympics, Mr Bunny is not only cute a button and rocking a dashing moustache but spent most of his working life in France: and so when he wasn’t sounding like Hugh Jackman he was sounding like Jean Dujardin. Swoon.
Oh, sometimes you make me so… you make me so- so… ANGRY! Heee, I’m angry!
[are you alright?]
I’m angry. I’m angry!
[are you OK?]
I’m… I’m wonderful.

Monsieur Rivière (1805) - Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres [Louvre, Paris]
This saucy gent starts us off - Darcy-esque sideburns and artfully tousled hair bringing the Napoelonic sass to his (very French) direct stare. That eyebrow is definitely about to be raised.
Shameless plug: I’m kinda sorta maybe running a side-blog. Fine art. Fit dudes. If that’s your thing come on over
