So, some things:

+ I walk past the Empire State Building quite frequently (well, more frequently than I'd like) and every single time without fail I think of how according to Doctor Who canon, the Daleks designed it. Even though that two-parter was so horrible I've blocked most of it out of my mind. Including the fact that, um, guess who played ( Read more... )

I saw Meera Syal at the National in the premiere of Rafta, Rafta..., in which Ronny Jhutti played her son, which is hilarious to me. (She was absolutely fantastic, he was pretty lame.)

FUCK fucking Time Warner Cable. They apparently have made no progress on the internets installation. HATRED AND FIERY BRIMSTONE ( Read more... )

Has anyone else seen State of Play? Because I just finished it and, omfg.

( Spoilers for the series, natch. )

I just saw Knocked Up, or, ( Why I love Judd Apatow. )

I just finished watching Human Nature.
