present mirth hath present laughter

A bit of a crunch week here, but since when has that stopped me from dilly-dallying?

Being a "making of" junkie, I have been sneaking looks at some of the snippets of Dr Who Confidential and outtakes available on YouTube. The glimpses of Cybermen singing "Born Free," dancing, and taking a turn on a swingset nearly gave me a hernia, I was laughing so hard.

Speaking of laughing, it's belatedly dawned on me that it's one of my top turn-ons. Granted, it doesn't usually make for much of a story when the hero(es) are happy and well-adjusted, but outside of fic, there's something really delicious about a man or woman overcome by laughter. I love it when I say something so outrageous the BYM throws socks at me as he clutches his sides.

This thought brought to you by the vision of John Barrowman gasping for air on Al Murray's Happy Hour. ("The name of the book's John Barrowman, what the fuck do you think it's about?") He's not my usual type, but damn, that's adorable.
