Hello!

I told you I'd be rubbish at this.

We had househunters. Also ants. I cleaned the kitchen, which involved cleaning up the ant powder and probably breathing a lot of it in. Also I nearly went blind from recycling. But it was the first time I had ever cleaned the kitched when I was finished the kitchen was TOTALLY CLEAN, dudes. I had such pride. Then I hoovered my room, and the carpet isn't grey!, and I watched Blackadder and ignored the fact I was meant to be doing a takeaway exam. But I have been doing work. Not enough, naturally, but I've handed two things in, and they were just straightforward enough that I get to worry that I didn't put enough work/thought into them, but they're each worth quite a small amount of marks, so I'm just going to move on. Now I just have the three massive essays and film presentation to do. Yes.

I have been far less strict with myself about TV and film than LJ, naturally.

On Green Wing: The OT3 is true! As is the OTP! And yes!

On the Night Watch DVD: Extras spoilers ) It's only a shame that, as with Green Wing, they brought out the DVD when I am much more psyched about part 2.

And on Emmerdale: Omg, Sadie TOTALLY USED CARL AND MATTHEW'S LOVE AGAINST THEM! It was amazing. She was all 'I think you should have lunch with Carl. He likes you. He trusts you.' And Carl was so obviously, beautifully still in love with his brother, all sneaking out of work to have a drink with him. And Matthew was so obviously 'I pretend to not know what she's talking about so I DO NOT HAVE TO BETRAY MY BELOVED HOT brother!'. But he did. And Carl found out. All in one episode. It was great like woah. Seriously, if you want some brotherly vaguely-pretty-when-Carl-doesn't-make-that-face angst fallout, with added Yorkshire accents, tonight, ITV, 7 o'clock.

And I am quite looking forward to Saturday's Dr Who too. Oh, and 'Suburban Shootout' tonight on 5 - I await it with awe.

Also I miss you lots except when I'm secretly checking my flist as well as my email.

I'm not sure this fic turned out entirely the way I wanted it to. But I'm fairly pleased to have finished it, and you can never tell how things look from the inside anyway. And yo - dialogue. Things happening. Some symbolism still, and no slash!, as is my general curse wont, but yes. 1,592 words. Go me :)

Dear Zavulon and Anton,

Your relationship is a bitch to write.

Or, at least, to manipulate to any one particular end.

Yes.

Grudging love,

I do quite like this series. It's simple and it's intricate and it's fun. Some of these endings are a little more open than I'd intended them to do, partly just to finish them, but I quite like leaving them just a bit unfiddled with. Since I spend about half an hour redoing each sentence sometimes. I'm so tired and spaced out recently from reading I don't know if I'll be continuing it anytime soon, but I have a few ideas, if not quite as 'jump out and grab me' as these, so who knows. Yay for Night Watch!

In other news, Steve Pemberton almost kissed Reece Shearsmith on stage in the League of Gentlemen show last night, in the guises of Herr Lipp and Justin. But it was cruelly snatched away at the last minute and revealed to be all Herr Lipp's fond dream. Rachael sad :(

I went to see Night Watch for the third time today. Colour me obsessed. But I think I've had my big-screen fill now. I'm ready to wait for the DVD, and y'know, the next one. Or two. Or whatever.

Potential spoilers )

And once again, a Night Watch post which is much longer than I intended it to be. But I think I'm done now. Roll on Day Watch.

I have far, far too much reading to do for next week. A 300 page novel. AND 600 pages of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Woe. I considered buying Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War' in Fopp today as well, but a quick check of the balance reveals I have minus money again. So perhaps not.

I do have the new Lemony Snicket though. First chapter reactions = More spoilers! )

I went to see Night Watch again with a whole different flatmate last night. And I can honestly say that a) it's probably better the second time around, and b) I can honestly think of no better way to spend two hours. I could easily do it over and over and over again....forever.

Rambling. At some length )

In conclusion - everyone should go see Night Watch. Both Anton and the film are beautiful, you will not be disappointed. 3 stars from SFX magazine my eye. Also, it would be really nice if one shop anywhere in Nottingham, or one site anywhere on the internet, had merchandise/news/any sort of mention at all of the film or the sequels or anything at all so that I don't have to wonder if I just imagined it. This post took me an hour and a half. That is all.

  • I read the first few pages of House of Leaves last night. I am sensing that reading it at NIGHT is generally going to be a bad idea. Also am slightly freaked out by the reference to Spoiler? ) on the publishing details page. I had to read a chapter of a different book before I could go to sleep. And I was already checking to see if the hallways had gotten longer when I went to the bathroom. Eek.

  • I may have accidentally agreed to possibly interview the League of Gentlemen next week for the radio show. Help?

  • I made a complete fool of myself telling my flatmate someone had stolen his bike this morning, before realising it was actually still there, and being informed there is a communal bike shed in our garden (which seems wrong), so I'll probably see a lot of people wheeling bikes in and out over time. Hmph.

  • I'm going to see Night Watch again tonight! :D I cannot get the mpreg bunny out of my head though. Even when I am reading Nietzche's views on the Birth of Tragedy. In fact I think that made it worse.

  • New Anton icon! :D

  • He's so pretty.

  • Too pretty to be COMPLETELY good.

  • I wish I had an icon that said that.

  • I am slightly tempted by [livejournal.com profile] fanfic100. The min. words for each fic is only 100. I think I could write 100 drabbles for Land of the Dead, wherein Cholo and Riley dance round each other to a variety of subjects, and frustrate me horribly. Another person has signed up to do 100 fics on the Evil Dead series. This makes me happy. Probably there will be no slash. Probably this is for the best. But still. Tempted. Foolishly, foolishly tempted.

  • New Lemony Snicket book out in less than a week, yay. I have a Lemony Snicket poster all printed out. It's all very good.

  • Will this list never end?

  • I am still rubbish at cooking, it seems.

  • However, I have recently come into possession of some blank CDs, so I can now copy some of my slashy playlists onto them, and play them on the downstairs CD player while I am 'cooking', in front of my very flatmates, who won't know a thing! :D

  • I wish more of you knew my crazy little fandoms and wrote me fic.

  • But it probably really is my job more than yours.

  • End of list.

  • I promise.
