Things! And pictures!
Apr. 7th, 2006 05:14 pmAnd hurrah, the next Futurama is the one with the worms! I love it so much. "This is my home! My ancestors came over on the Sandwich! I raised a cloud of children here!" :D
The tulips I got for my birthday are wilting. I think I sort of prefer it. In a scary Funhouse kind of a way. They look like this:
( Tulips )
My ruby bracelet, on the other hand, looks like this:
( Rubies, omg )
And I love Carl from Emmerdale, who looks like this:
( Carl )
Or did in 2004 anyway.
I had a plan to cook tonight. But on the other hand there is a cottage pie and ready-made salad in the fridge. So probably I'll actually do that. I'm not an expert on Adaptation and Appropriation yet. Woe.
I feel like I want to say something about the Avian Flu thing. I don't really know how I feel about it. When I see the papers saying things like 'AVIAN FLU', I don't care so much, but when people are on TV saying 'now, people really shouldn't panic...' I start to get worried. I try to reassure myself that flu epidemics, like the ones we're regularly supposed to have, usually mostly effect the very young or very old - except that I've got a one year old nephew with a dodgy chest, and a wobbly old grandma. So it's worrying me a bit. But probably it'll be one of those things like BSE and Foot and Mouth that mostly effect the farming industry and no-one else. Hopefully.
Anyway. It's Green Wing night tonight! That came round awfully quick again. Please to have another half-naked Mac and Guy wrestling scene please. With the same music. Oh, and I finally watched episode 2 of Life on Mars! WHY has no-one yet made any Sam or Gene 'For Great Justice!' icons? And possibly a Warren 'all your bases/witnesses are belong to us'? It is a SHAMEFUL crime. Shameful.
And I'm going to London! I'm going to see Have I Got News For You! I think! I need to look up train prices and things. And some nice person ::waves to them:: offered me a place to stay if I want to go to London to see Wicked. Which is nice. Actually...would anyone on here like to go see it with me? I'm thinking especially of people who I know have read and love the book. Just a thought.
Also: Elle just asked Toadie if he was okay, and BLATANTLY MEANT 'a gay'. FACT.
ETA: Omg! The girl leaves, and the pants come off! ::agog::

Green Wing 2.2, take 2
Apr. 7th, 2006 11:19 pmI think I was slightly thrown by Green Wing because it didn't FILL ME WITH GLEE like it did last week. Possibly due to dogs barking and some tiredness. Possibly because last series' Incest and Emotional breakdown ending and last weeks' GUY IS SO IN LOVE WITH MAC AND MAC IS IN A COMA-ness led me to expect things from the show that came in late, and are not complete basis of it. Defusing the squee a bit.
But there were still bits that were BRILLIANT. So, to wit:
( A list )
In conclusion: the Guy/Mac and Caroline/Mac is still pretty much the same as it was before, and while it's still beautiful/frustrating, they really need to get a move on and Do Things, fairly fast. And I think I need to rewatch Series 1, and remind myself what the show's really like. And, y'know, do some of the uni work I need to do.
