girlofprey: (SFU Claire Shine)
Jack squee! )

I also went to my sister's house today to decide which of the kittens I want. Despite the fact that it's less pretty than I remember it and sadly did not leap on me with joy, I think probably still the orange and black one. Because I liked it at first, so that's probably worth sticking with. It's also occured to me I'm going to have to name it. And I had one idea but no, it's so bad, and awful, and not conducive to pet-owning mental health.

DON'T LET ME CALL MY CAT FLIBBLE.

And I also watched TV. 8 Out of 10 Cats had that Asian guy from the actual news - I should learn names. He had his shirt slightly open and Was Authoritative when the others knew nothing, yet also took the mick and said 'that's the Japanese for you!', and it was quite good. And David Walliams wanted to see Jimmy Carr's knee, and then tried to convince him to let him kiss him, and Jimmy Carr's smile was SO BEAUTIFUL. And I can't believe I am fangirling and slashing a topical British quiz show, and it's not HIGNIFFY!! HOW CRUEL IS THE WORLD?!?

And Matt King was on Emmerdale, and I nearly squeed out loud to see him. Oh. Now he's all fucked up over his younger brother (did I say about their huge breakup?) and missing his estranged father, I'm apparently fangirling him like woah. Perhaps more than Carl, though Carl is still love. They have upcoming angst and I'm quite happy. Also, if there are Matt and Carl clips on the Emmerdale Interactive DVD, I may have to buy it. Yes, I really am that sad.
girlofprey: (Neverwhere Tunnel)
I have been reading Neverwhere. By which I mean, it's been in my bag for ages, and I occasionally read a chapter. Except that mostly I read whole bits. Just not on consecutive nights. Or weeks.

Initial thoughts, with spoilers )

I keep distracting myself thinking about the videos/DVDs, and how I can use Region 1s. I'm refusing to think about or buy them until I've finished, and have some money, so yes. But it's slightly distracting, reading anyway, as a fanficcer, because I keep sort of not caring about the plot. Because I'm so used to thinking up AUs, perhaps. It's like it doesn't matter, because hey, it can be changed. It's the characters that matter. Except that characters are illustrated by the plot - and it's really not a very good way to read a book. I'm trying not to think about it, and just read. Because I like the book. And the plot (what there is so far). So yes. Reading.
