Casualty, Emmerdale, Kink Memes, and a Lonely Island song

I think I might have found new love on Casualty. ( Casualty )

In other news, I'm a bit worried they're going to have one of my new favourite characters on Emmerdale kill his father, like they did with Carl King. I AM TIRED OF THEM DOING THAT. ( Emmerdale )

While I was looking up Nathan Wylde and the storyline however, I came across an LJ community for the actor who plays him, Lyndon Ogbourne. Which is where I found this interview. And oh my God, dudes. He's TROUBLINGLY ATTRACTED TO the women who play both his mum and his sister! He was ADDICTED TO CUSTARD! His aunt called him 'FATTY FATTY LYNDON"! He used to make ends meet between acting jobs by being a nanny! He was with one of these children when he got the call about Emmerdale, and terrified them by alternately CRYING, SCREAMING, AND CALLING EVERYONE HE KNEW! I think I'm in love! Oh, Lyndon.

In other news, I'm an idiot. I've started tracking the Sherlock Holmes Kink Meme in the hope of catching any Sherlock/Blackwood slash there may be on there. Which makes it the second kinkmeme I am tracking, besides the Watchmen Kink Meme, which has a very established OTP and which sends me about 20 comments I'm not interested in to wade through to get to anything at all about the pairing I am interested in. However, since Blackwood and Holmes actually met onscreen and WERE a bit slashy, there is actually some Sherlock/Blackwood fic being written. Which is not the case with Adrian/Rorschach, sadly.

Also, it is introducing me to some internet things I have missed. I'm probably late to this party, as I'm late to most internet parties, but I am very much enjoying Lonely Island's I'm On a Boat. Except for the bit about sleeping with a mermaid, obviously. But besides that. THEY'RE ON A BOAT.

List of aggrievances

1. I just watched Dancing On Ice. I cannot actually believe that. I can't believe it. In fairness I missed the first three contestants, so only watched Sharron Davies and the people after her skate. But Sinitta was good. She was actually good, a lot better than a lot of the others, and quite lovely, and sort of my favourite. And I thought Heather Mills might be in trouble mostly, because I know a lot of the public hate her, though I did hope she'd go through. And she did, and instead the only black contestant ended up in the skate off, against one of the actually bad skaters. And there was a difficult lift in Sinitta's routine, and she did it really well the first time, but she missed it in the skate off, and now she's gone. In a way I feel a bit annoyed with Torvill and Dean for giving her such a difficult lift in the first show. But mostly I feel annoyed with the viewers. I was never that convinced when people said it was a bit racist that Heather kept being put in the dance-off last year despite being better than some other contestants. But now I'm starting to rethink it.



2. Adverts. I hate them. Most of them. Mostly I hate that thing they were doing for a while, though I haven't seen it lately, of ending the advert with a slogan, and then putting an asterix at the end of the slogan, with no noticeable bit of text that the asterix led to. THAT IS RIDICULOUS. I'm assuming that it meant they could use slogans that were lies, because they put an asterix on it leading to a qualifying statement. Without making the qualifying statement, and I assume the facts, too noticeable. THAT REALLY ANNOYED ME. At the moment I hate the Magnet advert which is all about "tell us what you do in your kitchen". "Give us market research without making us do it ourselves", is I think the true meaning of that. Aside from it's weird CCTV Society connotations. Also I hate the adverts that encourage us to buy products to help FIGHT THE TERRIBLE WAR WE'RE HAVING WITH THE WORLD/NATURE. Like that weird eyedrops one for stuff they want you to use when "the world makes your eyes dry and painful". But also those horrible Tampax ones they've thankfully stopped showing about using tampons to defeat that PRUDISH BITCH MOTHER NATURE. I hate them. A lot.



3. I've decided I'm not going to respect any Age of Sail/boat-based fandoms anymore unless they have "Poseidon, look at me!" icons.
