Which Torchwood Character Are You? Your Result: Ianto Jones   You most resemble the team's composed, sarcastic general support. Passionate but excellent at hiding it under a reserved exterior, you care deeply about people and have a hard time letting go. The downside of keeping such a tight leash on your external emotions is that sometimes you lose control and have to let it all out. Competent and hard-working, you like to be on top of things.

Sounds about right to me! Plus, he's my favourite, so yay!

Pirates and Cellos

The Yo-Yo Ma concert on Friday night was excellent - it's always enjoyable to watch world-class performers doing what they do. It also confirmed my impression that I much prefer 18th and 19th century classical music to 20th century, although the most modern piece surprised me by being my favourite, so perhaps the 21st century has something going for it, after all. The venue (Barbican Hall) was lovely, the audience wildly enthusiastic, and the performers seemed to enjoys themselves, so all in all a good night out.

Then, last night, was Treasure Island at the Haymarket, courtesy of the always-welcome free tickets from corone (though I did have to pay for the socks!). As Dave said, it didn't really know what it was trying to be - striking an odd, and rather unsettling, tone between serious drama and panto. However, the cast performed with gusto, Ben Gunn's cheese obsession was very amusing, and the songs were rousing. I got the distinct impression that Keith Allen was only vaguely familiar with his lines and spent most of the evening making it up as he went along, but perhaps that's just the way he acted. Certainly not the best show I've seen at the Haymarket, but entertaining enough.
