So, I went into HMV today to buy myself Black Books, Season 3. Because I knew that I needed to own it and had decided to. Found it at £7, yay! Then I wandered around, being vaguely tempted by a few things and resisting all their seductive powers (go away Life on Mars! You will not get me (yet)) until I ended up at the anime section. Where I found a ( Read more... )

Over the past few days, I have been exploring various fannish thoughts in my mind and trying to make them into a coherent whole. The general gist of the thought was about one of the different natures of being fannish about something.

I got into Life on Mars because katharos_8 wanted me to watch it. I was fairly willing to do so but a bit twitchy - I do not ( Read more... )

No show has ever upset me as much as Ashes to Ashes just did. *is absolutely crushed*

Had a great time with la_localfreak and we watched films (all of them involved some amount of crossdressing which was pretty amusing) and had great chats and ate lovely ice cream. I shouldn't have gone to bed as late as I did though as apparently, I am unable to cope with ( Read more... )

Have now watched the first four episodes of Merlin. It's a lot better than I expected actually, as long as you are prepared for the pain of HISTORICAL INACCURACY OF DOOM and the fact that the soundtrack has ripped off Lord of the Rings. Arthur has fallen in love with Merlin FAR too quickly but it is loltastic and kind of adorable. The dragon keeps ( Read more... )

Oh Law and Order UK. I look at the little summary you give in the TV Guide for Monday's episode and I see you are killing children again. That's three out of five episodes dammit! Three out of five! Do you want to make me cry and hate you? Kill some scum dammit! SCUM. (and if it's like most British TV, there's probably only six bloody episodes ( Read more... )

How to make a successful phone call.1) Attempt to remove the fear. Remind yourself of all the times you have mad successful phonecalls in the past. Remind yourself that the phone in fact is a gentle creature and does not nibble on ears, chins or other bodily extremities ( Read more... )

Today's main event was that I was finally able to scream "NO, NOT THE BEEEEEEEEEES! KILLING ME WON'T BRING BACK YOUR GOD-DAMNED HONEY!" with some degree of conviction. (I was playing Out to Lunch on the gameboy. Turns out in the West Indies levels, these bees come and kill you. I had SIX LIVES and ONE BEE took me down to two. ONE FREAKING BEE!) ( Read more... )

I shouldn't be allowed in charity shops. I just shouldn't be allowed. I went down to drop off my father's prescription and walked past the YMCA and drifted in. I found a copy of The Secret History which was terribly pleasing and then I found another book that looked interesting and they were both pretty cheap so I headed up to go and buy them. And ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I went into Liverpool. Quick trip to the library (very successful, Gypsy by Lesley Pearse was finally there, huzzah!) and then a wander into town. Drifted into HMV, stared for a bit at Black Books DVDs and then decided that no, I really rather wanted Lewis Season 1 and Doctor Who: The Time Warrior and Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment ( Read more... )

Oh God, what a week so far. *headdesks ( Read more... )
