On the Emmerdale repeat, Tom King (the patriarch) just told Matthew he knew he'd been 'sniffing around Carl'. I'm not even making it up. Then he had to tell Carl 'you're not giving your brother any money', since he's the only one interested in being nice to him. I DID NOT WATCH THE ENTIRE EPISODE AND I DON'T KNOW WHY. Later this week Tom will apparently try to convince/convince Carl to move into the manor house with his beard ex-soldier, non-maternal fiancee, in a BLATANT attempt to lure Matthew back with hot gay brothersex. And they're supposed to be cunning, subtle businessmen. Tut tut.

Has anyone else seen that FREAKY AS HELL advert about bbc.co.uk music, wherein people PLUG THEIR IPODS INTO STRANGERS' HEADS?! As in, DIRECTLY INTO THEIR SCALPS?! Apparently its something to do with being able to listen to even unsigned bands, rather than being A REJECT FROM SOME OBSCURE EXTREME HORROR MOVIE, REJECTED FOR BEING TOO GODDAMNED SCARY. It does not make me want to run to my computer and listen to unsigned bands. It makes me want to cringe in fear, and start a campaign to free these poor unsigned band members from the horrific Unsigned Band Music Farms, where they are milked for their tunes. After I'm done CRINGING IN FEAR. Dudes.

Amazon.co.uk is not being helpful at helping me decide what to spend my hard-earned birthday money on. Neither is the Mighty Boosh site, being constantly sold out of pink pants. Hmph. But [livejournal.com profile] berry_fulcher has the latest episode of Snuff Box available for download. You should all do that, and then comment to tell me what you think. Even if you think nothing. Even if you have better things to do. It has a hangman dance, with pretty girls? And you love me? Yes?

I just had the worst dinner ever. In fact, I think 'survived' is more appropriate. Worse even than the Oxford dinner. It was pretending to be cheese tortellini. IT WAS NOT. Perhaps if made with gravel. Or some poison. SO BAD. Yack.

Anyway. Actually, I bought the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's CD, and I'm just listening to it, and iTunes is telling me the first track is 50 minutes long - wtf?? I have newfound respect for the band if they recorded a song for that long, though. But I'm listening with some disbelief.

I'm trying to count up all the things I have to do over the next few weeks, and keep getting overwhelmed and losing count. It includes: Fair list ) And lots of other things I'm sure. I feel the need to lie down in a dark room with a cool cloth on my head just thinking/writing about it. But I'll get it sorted. I'm sure (::eyes it unsurely::)

In the meantime I am going on the internet and watching TV. Snuff Box is actually quite alright, if a bit spare and random. It's about a man who's been a hangman since he was fourteen (bloodlines) and all that, and so is incredibly rich and something of a psychotic wanker, to the point of helping a pretty girl control the dog she's walking until it turns out she has a boyfriend, at which point he boots the dog down the street and tells her to fuck off. For example. It stars Dixon Bainbridge from The Mighty Boosh, aka Matt Berry. Who it turns out looks like this



without the moustache. Woof, somewhat. Also it has this for a theme tune - written and performed by the lovely Mr Berry. Whom I love. Rather a lot. Yes.

Also:

My final and utter verdict on Mac from Green Wing, which will probably change at some point over the next few days:

There is something quite sexy about his whole hair-loose shirts-skinny jeans combos. I'll admit that. And I do see the slight chemistry in his scenes with Caroline. But he is just so rubbish at dealing with this in any sort of acceptable way, and so apparently willfully oblivious to the blatant lust and utter brilliance of Caroline, and Sue, and Guy, whether he's emotionally stunted or scarred or just a wanker or whatever, that I refuse to ship him with any of them. He doesn't deserve it. They should all do sex with each other instead. Causing Mac to explode. Yes.

Roll on, Series Two.

And that song's still going on, by the way.
