I was writing a post earlier, but then I started looking some stuff up, and then I got a call from my mum saying my sister had no money and was in tears because her partner hadn't gotten paid, and needed some money, and could I help out. So I ended up going round to the cash machine and waiting for my sister to come round. Then she decided to stay for a cup of tea. So you're getting this while I'm watching the (rewound) soaps.

The announcer just said before Eastenders that "Now, it's a tough day for the women on the Square". So much worse than EVERY OTHER DAY I'm guessing.

Anyway. In the past few days I have:

• Finished George Gently Series 2. Now I have no more George Gently to watch. But on the plus side, I am all caught up for when they apparently show more George Gently later this year.
  According to gently_fans, a BBC press release says 4 episodes, and Lee Ingleby on Twitter says 2. But either way, there'll apparently be some. Hurrah.
  
  I love George Gently, by the way. And Gently, and Bacchus, and Gently/Bacchus. People bang on a lot about how it's like a father/son relationship, and it kind of is, but it's also PLENTY SLASHY as well.



• Saw the last two episodes of season 1 of Strike Back. jekesta was talking about it, and then I was looking through the Sky schedule and noticed they were repeating it. I watched one story over two episodes a year or two ago, and I seemed to remember enjoying it but thinking it was a little bit blah. But last night's episodes were really good. Richard Armitage is a bit great. I still need to see the first two episodes though. That's probably not the right order to watch them in. Oh well.



• I saw the rest of Starkid's Starship. I do like Starkid. That's probably not a new sentiment. But I do.



• On Eastenders Michael went off on one about how he is jealous of his dad, actually, because his dad and his two brothers have funny little inside jokes and he's not in on it, with his own family. He wants to destroy his dad, and it's unclear whether it's so he can finally forgive him and get back in with his family, or so he can get his dad out of the way and take over as the head of the family, or just so he can have his revenge and then get lost.
  
  The storyline is probably not going to go the fucked-up way I want it to, but I am happy to watch for a little while longer just in case it does.



• And on Emmerdale, the new Cain storyline doesn't even make any sense, because he was devastated when Jasmine got pregnant and had an abortion behind his back, and wanted to kill Sadie for paying for it. So it's awful, and doesn't even fit in with his characterisation. So hurrah.

I'd best go get my tea now. It's the season finale of Single-Handed tonight. Jack Driscoll, yay!
