так, я перевела эту статью, и тут много всего интересного! собственно - вот:
Я неугомонный - вот почему я всегда работаю - и я должен думать о различных составляющих отдыха, когда Скотт и я отправляемся в отпуск. Первые дни отдыха это расслабление: пляж, бассейн, возможно некоторые спа-штучки. После этого мы должны сделать что-то для культурного отдыха Скотта. И мы смотрим на обломки камней. Скотт архитектор, и он называет это руинами. Еще мы делаем рискованные вещи, такие как сноуборд и катание на водных лыжах - хотя мой контракт не позволяют мне этого на данный момент.
Я люблю адреналин. Если кто-то собирается прокатиться на водном мотоцикле в одно время со мной, я спрошу о возможности устроить гонку и может быть, даже поставлю на кон что-нибудь вроде выпивки в баре. Это интересно, и вы знакомитесь с людьми. Давным-давно, мы со Скоттом катались на водном мотоцикле вместе во Флориде, я сделал 360-градусный поворот, и не понял, что он слетел. Мои мысли были: «Что он делает в воде?» Скотт сказал: «Ты скинул меня!» Он был в порядке, но все же это было слегка пугающе, и больше он не участвует в гонках.
Турки, кажется, не подозревают о существовании правил безопасности, почти как я. Когда мы жили в Калкане, мы отправились в ущелье Саклыкент, где можно пересечь подвесной веревочный мост из бревен над стремительным потоком воды. Река протекает мимо всех этих кафе, и я не мог понять, почему люди сидели там мокрые. Они спрыгивали с тротуара в воду, позволяя нести их вниз по течению, таким образом, покидая кафе. И мы тоже сделали это. Это было здорово, полное отсутствие контроля.
У нас был фантастический отпуск три года назад, племяннице Скотта исполнилось 16 лет, а моей было 17. Мы взяли их на Санторини, чтобы показать им, сколько можно получить удовольствия и при этом не попасть в переделку. У нас были конкурсы песен и танцев у бассейна, и спа ванны с шампанским, и мы брали девочек покататься верхом на лошадях по пляжу. Ближе к концу нашего отдыха над нами поселился олимпийский гимнаст из Греции. Девушки такие: «Он горяч!» и мы со Скоттом: «О, даааа, он горяч!» И мы все пытались подпрыгнуть и посмотреть на него.
Наши последние выходные были действительно роскошны. Мы с нашими лучшими друзьями остановились в Палм-Спрингс, ради солнца, еды и магазинов. Я хотел пойти в Молл Америка в Миннесоте: чтобы обойти в нем все магазины, нужно 4 дня. Из Палм-Спрингс мы вылетели в Сиэтл. Не смейтесь - это звучит мелодраматично, - но я пошел в оригинальный Starbucks. Это супермаркет с кофейным прилавком, но они больше не используются оригинальные кофе машины. Скотт и я фанаты самолетов, поэтому мы отправились на завод Боинг, где провели экскурсию по производственной линии 777. Затем мы поехали в Ванкувер. Залив просто ошеломляющий. На день рождения Скотта я нанял гидроплан, чтобы слетать в Кипарис Маунтин. Я не люблю летать. Я сидел впереди и пилот все повторял: «Если что-то пойдет не так, сделаете это и это». Моя реакция на это была такая: «Чувак, даже не начинай!» Мы шли как раз прямиком на два пика, парень наклонил самолет и полетел прямо между ними. Я мог увидеть, что написано на куртках лыжников внизу. Я чуть не обделался, но это было удивительно. Оттуда мы поехали в Уистлер и провели там 10 дней на сноубордах.
Первый раз я катался на лыжах, когда Скотт и я проследовали по пути пионеров по всей территории Соединенных Штатов. Мы остановились на озере Тахо, я не подавал вида, что никогда не катался на лыжах. Скотт спустился с одной стороны горы, а я с другой, не осознавая, что это опасная затея. Сдувало ветром, был снегопад, и я уже представлял удар об утес - излишне драматично. Я выругался, чтобы меня отпустило. После этого маленькими шагами я проникался доверием к лыжам. Мы прошли по дороге сотворения американской истории. Скотт – штурман с картой, я водитель. Мы хотели найти вещи, которые люди обычно не видят, такие как Кархендж, центр американского народного поп-арта в штате Небраска. Я люблю автомобили, Скотт любит Стоунхендж: прекрасно. Это наиболее старые Кадиллаки, вкопанные в землю. Мы были там, когда я был ребенком, мы называли это место Психо-отель. Я помню, папа рассказывал захватывающие истории о местах, которые мы посещали, так что когда Скотт и я взяли моих племянницу и племянника, я бы съехал на обочину и притворился, что автомобиль заглох. Мы хотели создать всю эту историю, и дети бы сказали: «Пожалуйста, заведи машину, дядя Джон!»

At work today I had to get John Barrowmans lunch, I couldn't find it. So he had to starve. Screw you John Barrowman! True story. Lol and comes in the form of butternut squash risotto.
Our next door neighbor Pat has a wonderfully productive garden where she grows much of her own food. We are the lucky beneficiaries of her overflow in times when, for example, she has harvested 15 large butternut squash and there are still 15 more on the vine. No matter how much Pat loves winter squash, even she knows that she can't eat all thirty of them by herself. Yikes! Here's a lovely risotto we made recently with about half of one butternut squash that Pat brought over. (The other half went into pumpkin bread.) The risotto is so simple, with arborio rice, squash, broth, onions, white wine, and Parmesan; it just takes a bit of attention (stirring) while the rice slowly absorbs the broth. Print Options Butternut Squash Risotto Recipe Print Options
* Print (no photos) * Print (with photos)
Ingredients
6-8 cups chicken broth (use vegetable broth for vegetarian option) 5 Tbsp unsalted butter, divided into 4 Tbsp and 1 Tbsp 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cups butternut squash, peeled, and finely diced 2 cups arborio rice (can substitute medium grained white rice, but arborio is preferred) 1 cup dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc) 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 2 Tbsp chopped chives or garlic chives Salt Method
1 Heat broth in medium sized saucepan and keep warm over low heat. Melt 4 Tbsp of butter in a large saucepan; add onion and butternut squash. Cook over medium heat until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
2 Add rice to onion and squash. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine. Cook, stirring constantly until wine has been absorbed by the rice or evaporated. Add a few ladles of broth, just enough to barely cover rice. Cook over medium heat until broth has been absorbed. Continue cooking and stirring rice, adding a little bit of broth at a time, cooking and stirring until it is absorbed, until the rice is tender, but still firm to the bite, about 15 to 20 minutes.
3 During the last minutes of cooking, add remaining tablespoon of butter, 1/3 cup Parmesan, and chives. At this point the rice should have a creamy consistency. Add salt to taste. Serve with remaining grated Parmesan.

Но блин.....
КАКОГО ЧЕРТА СКОТТ ТВОРИТ???
John picked up one of the two very adorable little girls on the stage only to become genuinely flustered when she then spontaneously kissed him on the cheek and then kept flicking her fingers up his face and flicking his nose until eventually he had to catch her little hand and gave her an Eskimo kiss before passing her back to her family. Aww - very cute.
Scott was also there for this recording (and John had to go up and whisper to him at one point that he'd been asked to tell him to smile and spit his gum out because he was visible on camera - ha! Of course John shared that with the whole audience) which prompted John to tell his story about one of their first times flying first class (American Airlines) when John to Scott's bemusement freaked himself out completely and became convinced that there was a hole in the fuselage of the plane dragging a reluctant air hostess over to point out the non existent hole. His imitation of the very bored and sneery flight attendant was very funny.

I understand. I really, really do. I'm one of the 'didn't like, don't want' of the newer iteration of Torchwood. I have no plans to watch S4 (which sounds, basically, like a version of X-Files) But, seriously, get off my lawn.
читать дальшеThere's a point to realize that, no, you are not going to get what you want and those of us who preferred the feel and tone of S1 and S2 are at that point. Torchwood is heading in a different direction and many, many people are content and happy with that. CoE did very well, rating wise, and is the reason there's any more Torchwood at all -- and proved, to pretty much anyone who cares, that RTD's ideas of what Torchwood should be are worth pursuing. It's what BBC sold and what Starz bought. Not S1 and S2. Not cracky pterosaurs and secret bases. All that is done.
It's no fun to not get what you want -- god knows I live most of my life with that fact and part of what's painful about the whole Torchwood thing is being slapped in the face with more of the same. It doesn't change the fact that it's happening.
There's a difference between being frustrated and unhappy and turning that to finding ways to get what you do want, and being entitled. It's a fine difference but it's there. Making obnoxious and obscene acronyms out of the names of producers, writers, actors who are working on the new project is entitlement. Clinging to the fantasy that, because you and your circle of friends all feel the same, that really CoE was bad, people didn't really like it, or that there's an effective movement to bring back the 'old' Torchwood is entitlement. Refusing to look at the actualities on the ground just makes you look immature, spoiled and wanky. Imagining that you can somehow 'force' RTD, BBC, Starz, the actors or anyone to make the work you want is entitled. RTD and the others are invested in the new direction Torchwood is taking and, even if they were told otherwise, they'd try and lean that way anyway -- because that's what they like. They are not you and are not required to like what you do.
And, for god's sake, imagining that GDL who is an actor who had a job for a couple of years and now doesn't, is deeply invested in your personal desires is both wanky and, to put it bluntly, creepy. Some of the stuff I've seen around the fetishization of GDL looks like the worst of fag-hag behavior.
Even worse is a bunch of whining by (mostly) young, straight, women that RTD and/or Barrowman are betraying gays or gay rights because they killed off/participated in/are not fighting for your personal fantasy relationship is fucking offensive. RTD has done more, personally, than any media producer to make queers visible in the mainstream than anyone of our generation -- certainly more than you or I have done. Barrowman has lived as an out, gay man for most of his life and, again, has done more for queer visibility than any actor I'm currently aware of -- Ellen DeGeneres coming up close behind. Killing of Ianto was a bad message to send, IMO (and I can go for pages as to why I think so) but it's a very small blip in a very large ocean of effort from both of these folks.
Badmouthing Gwen or Eve because it must be somehow her fault (even though Gwen is a fucking fictional character and Eve is simply an actress doing a job) is flat out misogyny. Sorry, no, you can't explain it away with RTDs mommy issues. Putting the hate on the primary female character who had nothing to do with any of this is misogyny. Take a look in the mirror, or at your daughters, and think again about who you're hating.
I hate to tell it to you, all those youngsters out there, but the world doesn't cater to minority interests. A lot of you who are SIJs, AGAs, are young woman who are really emotionally invested in gay men and gay relationships -- well, welcome to a taste of what it's really like to be queer. It isn't all ass-babies and faux-vaginal fucking. You don't get what you want and you have to find healthy, useful ways to live with that.
You don't like the new Torchwood? Good, me neither. Write your own. Draw your own. Get together with friends and make you own. Hell, toss the entire derivative part and make your own original work that you can control. THere are people who want to see that -- hell, I want to see more stories that don't end with 'the world is ugly, people are sad, and then you die like a dog'. Put your energy there, instead of expecting that someone else will provide you with the entertainment you desire. That's the most important thing to understand about having minority interests -- no one else is going to provide for you. You have to learn to do for yourself.
If the fact that a gay couple's story ended, once again, with tragedy is really what's getting you bent out of shape -- put your anger to some actually good use and go to your PTA and demand the school library represent queers so that kids can grow up imagining they can be happy no matter who they fuck. Vote. Elect progressive, positive folks to your school board. Agitate the local library to pull all those 'Queer? We can fix you!" books out there. I'm forty-five years old and, let me tell you, my energy to do that stuff is running low. All you whippersnappers -- it's your turn.
Yes, media matters. Wanting media that suits your needs and wants is reasonable. Learning when to move onto a different project, where your chances are higher, is part of learning how to get what you need and want.

Skiing, snowboarding, a hot gymnast ... John Barrowman loves a holiday with thrills From The Sunday Times May 6, 2007
можно я поеду с ними на входные? The actor John Barrowman, 40, was born in Glasgow, but moved to the USA when he was eight. He made his name in West End musicals such as Sunset Boulevard and Anything Goes. On television, his appearances in the revival of Doctor Who led to a role in its spin-off series, Torchwood. He can currently be seen as a panellist on Any Dream Will Do (BBC1, Saturdays). He lives in London and Cardiff with his civil partner, architect Scott Gill
‘I GET fidgety – that’s why I’m always working – so I have to think of different elements when Scott and I go on vacation. The first few days are relaxation: beach, pool, maybe some spa stuff. After that, we have to do something cultural for Scott. So we look at rubble. Scott’s an architect and he calls it ruins. Then we do slightly risky activities such as snowboarding and water-skiing – though my contract doesn’t allow me to at the moment.
I love the adrenaline rush. If someone’s going out on a wetbike at the same time, I will establish if it’s okay to race, and maybe put a little wager on it, like a drink at the bar. It’s fun and you get to meet people. A long time ago, Scott and I were on a wetbike together in Florida, I did a 360-degree turn and I didn’t know he had flown off. I thought, “What’s he doing in the water?” He said, “You ran me over!” He was fine, but it was a bit frightening, so now he won’t race.
Health-and-safety regulations don’t seem to exist in Turkey, and I kind of like that. When we stayed in Kalkan, we went to the Saklikent Gorge, where you can cross a rope-and-wood catwalk over this torrent of water. The river flows past all these cafes and I couldn’t understand why people were sitting there soaking wet. They were chucking themselves off the walkway, letting the water carry them down and then getting out at a cafe. So we did too. It was great, almost like being out of control.
We had a fantastic vacation three years ago when Scott’s niece turned 16 and my niece was 17. We took them to Santorini to show them how much fun you can have without getting into trouble. We had song-and-dance competitions by the pool, and spa baths with champagne, and we took the girls horseback riding on the beach. Then, towards the end, a Greek Olympic gymnast moved into the villa above us. The girls were like, “He is hot!” And Scott and I were like, “Yeah, he is hot!” So we were all trying to jump up and look at him.
Our most recent holiday was a real luxury. We stayed with our best friends in Palm Springs, for sun, eating and shopping. I’d like to go to the Mall of America in Minnesota: it takes four days to get through all the shops. From Palm Springs, we flew up to Seattle. Don’t laugh – this sounds so cheesy – but I went to the original Starbucks. It’s a warehouse with a coffee bar, but it bugged me that they no longer used the original coffee machines. Scott and I are aeroplane nerds, so we went to the Boeing aircraft facility and did a tour of the 777 production line. Then we drove up to Vancouver. The bay is stunning. For Scott’s birthday treat, I hired a seaplane to fly to Cypress Mountain. I don’t like flying. I was sitting in the front and the pilot kept saying, “If this goes wrong, you do this and this.” I was like, “Dude, don’t even start!” We came to two peaks, the guy tilted the plane and flew right between them. I could see what brand of jacket the skiers below were wearing. I kind of crapped myself, but it was amazing. From there, we went to Whistler and spent 10 days snowboarding.
The first time I skied was when Scott and I followed the pioneers’ wagon-train route across the United States. We ended up in Lake Tahoe, but I didn’t let on to Scott that I hadn’t skied. He went down one side of the mountain and I went down the other, not realising it was a black run. The wind was picking up, it was snowing and I had visions of hitting a cliff – being overdramatic. I gave him hell for leaving me. After that, I did smaller runs to get my ski legs.
We went through a phase of doing American-history trips. Scott’s the map-reader; I do the driving. We like finding things people normally wouldn’t see, such as Carhenge, which is American folk pop art in Nebraska. I like cars, Scott likes Stonehenge: perfect. It’s mostly old Cadillacs embedded in the ground. We stayed in what, when I was a kid, we called Psycho hotels. I remember my dad telling exciting stories of places we’d visit, so when Scott and I took my niece and nephew, I’d pull off on a side road and pretend the car had died. We’d create this whole story and the kids would be saying, “Please start the engine, Uncle John!”’
