"I've done my reseatrch and people in the north have a kestrel and are training to be a dancer."
♥ Eh bien, le weekend. Actually, I was fairly unproductive, although I did get through last week’s back catalogue of TV. Go me. Loved NCIS and Supernatural (and ficced! Actual fic!), and was glad to see Chuck back. Also watched Sanctuary (not sure about it). Ooh, and enjoyed SCC. The Terminator spin-off, that is, not my own personal squamous cell carcinoma. I like a Cameron ep. Bought some soup from Waitrose. Changed my bedlinen. Sunday I did some washing up and watched more TV and just wandered around the flat. I am going to die one day, and I will have done fuck all with my life. *thumbs up*
♥ So, apparently Gordon Brown got annoyed over the furore caused by his bringing Mandelson into the Cabinet. He is, apparently (and not altogether unsurprisingly), not a fan of the “great man” school of history, and expressed his opinion that in the years to come, Mandelson’s return would be unremembered and it would be all about the economic climate and all the, let’s face it, boring stuff like that. I hesitate to contradict our great and glorious leader, but I think he’s wrong. Children learning history don’t tend to care that much about the economic climate and movements of the masses. They like the characters. It’s all Henry VIII and Hitler; Queen Victoria and Boudicca. Not that I’m suggesting that the sadomasochistic love triangle of Blair, Brown and Mandelson, will have quite that level of fascination for our future offspring. Or maybe it will. Who can tell?
♥ Sarah Palin has accused Barack Obama of hanging out with terrorists. Uh-huh. On the one hand, this ploy is so transparent as to be laughable, and is impossible to take seriously. On the other hand, of course, this sort of disingenuous bollocks-spreading (and come on, who can seriously believe that she is sincere in what she’s saying?) is just plain wrong, feeding into the fears and prejudices of the uninformed. I really detest the kind of mud-slinging that seems to go on in any sort of political contest: it’s so sordid.
♥ Once again, I ficced! Woo! Am quite excited. Praise the darling baby Jee for bringing new TV and new inspiration to me.
♥ Am contemplating cutting my hair short. These strange feelings wash over me every so often. I will try and resist, but you never know…
