It's lovely and sunny today! Omg ::basks:: One of those days that has you finding excuses to be outside. If there wasn't the internet and a new Total Film to attend to, of course.

I bought 'Cuban' chocolate. It's meant to have 'notes of wine and leather', which disturbs me a bit. So far it mostly tastes of dark chocolate though. Which it turns out you can't really just eat the same way as milk chocolate, without feeling a bit sick. Live and learn.

My main point: I've been watching Drop the Dead Donkey a bit. Now, I knew that Damien, being an in-the-field reporter and an attractive one at that, was essentially a whore. But I didn't realise he was the Designated Office Whore. In all of the first episode, he was called "cheap" and sensationalist by George, before we were informed he was "extremely viewer-friendly", and "Sir Royston's favourite" (RUN DAMIEN!). Then Gus suggested he be "disciplined". Then Gus suggested that he should discipline him. Assuring George he'd "be severe". And then Henry capped it all off by calling him 'dear boy', and (congratulating him? Commiserating with him? Perving on him?) about being in the 'sin bin'.

I cannot cope with the gay.

But then he and Dave did some instinctive prank on the phone to some guy about Germans and their heads were very close together, and it was all better :D

I failed at watching Green Wing yet again. In favour of watching Nick Cave's film The Proposition, which is a western set in Australia, and omgsogood - if you like general doom and angst, and occasionally seeing people get their heads blown up. GO SEE IT. Write me secret-because-it's-not-really-that-slashy-just-great incest-in-the-hills fic. Do it now.

Okay, mostly because Damien needs screwing into a mattress most of the time just to keep him from doing something stupid ::loves Damien in all his faulty glory::. He are mad and psychopathic and astounds even psychologists in all their haughty glory with his 'broken children? Does anyone have a camera?'-type ways. He goes out and does mad stories that don't exist not even to keep his station in the top billing but to get his face on TV as often as possible, then just moves onto the next big 'tip', and I can't actually imagine half-assedly amoral, chancing but sort-of chauvanistically decent Dave not being completely fascinated by him.

I don't think Damien is particularly fascinated by anyone unless they are having a 3-in-a-bed romp of some form with the prime minister, which is precisely why he needs someone to just jump him and remind him he is interesting and worth expose-ing as well. And Dave is his mate when he has, as we have discussed, less-than-humane inclinations towards most people, and we all know Dave is generally only into things he can get something out of. Also, they are both pretty, and I said so, so there :D
