Ahh...I miss the good old days of chakrams, sword-fighting and subtext

Ah. Procrastination, how I love thee.

And how better to feed my procrastination habit than mixing up two of my favourite things into a wonderful, funky puddle of fevered joy?

Question: Why (how) did I not know that Lucy Lawless took part in an American show called Celebrity Duets? Why? Why would life deny me that precious, precious knowledge?

Oh well, no matter. I know now, and have whiled away quite a few minutes watching clips at work on Youtube, giggling and squeaking like the geeky heartfelt Xenite I always will be:



Ahh...Xena and singing. Two of my favourite things. I feel complete.

Although...I do need to ask a few questions.

When did she get so...so...hollywood-ised? She's made-up to the hilt and flawless in every shot. Am I too used to grungy, blood-spattered Xena? And wait...why am I complaining? She's stunning! Scratch the question from the record.

Has her hair always been that big and blonde? Secretly? Did she tame it throughout the filming of Xena with the odd well-timed threat and steely glare aimed at it in a mirror?

My girlfriend, last christmas, offered to buy me a life-size cardboard cut-out of Xena. I was so, so, so close to accepting. It was the restrained dis-belief permeating her face that she was actually making the offer that made me think twice. She must love me lots. (GP, not Xena).
