As sweet as balm, as soft as air, as gentle--

Um, so: Rome. McG came over after rehearsal, we opened a bottle of wine, and it was onto Death Mask and catching up for Sunday.

Things which are far too ridiculous to be true [for various reasons], and yet somehow are:

1. While watching The West Wing via Netflix, most of the time I have been using English subtitles. Because, while the cast are astoundingly brilliant actors, a handful of them have the most garbled diction in the world. I'm looking at you, Bradley ( Read more... )

Uhm. I have a confession to make.

I woke up at 6:30 again this week to watch Sunday's Rome[Which was hilarious for my body, because I watched the Superbowl with Roomie J and between us we downed almost 4 liters of Coke. So neither of us could fall asleep until, like 3 AM. This is only the second year I've ever watched the Superbowl. Back when ( Read more... )

I woke up at 6:30 AM to watch yesterday's Rome. I haven't done that with a show since, well, I can't even remember.

I watched Rome 1x12 The Kalends of February today in between classes, and this season's premiere tonight as I ate dinner. And then after a couple minutes of deliberation, 2x02 right after.

( I would post coherent thoughts, but I think I've broken my brain. )

I was going to do the whole "print-out, highlight in various colours" thing that I usually do, but of course my printer decides this morning to get a paper jam.

But Oscars! I am a lot more up-to-date than I was last year at the time of the noms, so I'm actually going to do some same-day commentary.

I am stealing buffyx's list, since I am far too lazy ( Read more... )

Something very important I noticed while watching tonight's Studio 60.

( In Images! )

1. Saw Andrew Bird at the Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday and all through the concert I kept thinking that his hair looked like the love child of Mac's and Bob Dylan's. I would post a setlist but it would really only amount to this: 'A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left', 'I', 'Skin Is, My', 'Glass Figurine', 'Tables and Chairs' and a billion ( Read more... )
