First in the "something nice for Friday" stakes today, a bit of an "awwww" story that you've probably seen by now but if you haven't, this sweet post by a mum whose 6-year-old son has a crush on Blaine from Glee; yes, as some people have said it is a bit self-congratulatory but that's a lot better than the alternative. And I like that the parents' ( Read more... )

For this week's bit of Twitter timewasting, I have mainly not been allowing the fact that I didn't actually watch more than about 3 minutes of the Royal Wedding to stop me from commenting wisely on it ( Read more... )

This week on my Twitter feed, no real surprises that the main excitement was right at the start, with the multiple gay sleb spots at Ordinary Days last week. The combination of D-Boys and Tovey in the same room got the most excited response from my followers ever, beating even the Joe McFadden spot from a few weeks ago ( Read more... )

Another quiet Twitter week for me, and once again the biggest fuss was over a celeb spot - although given my followers, I think Gillian Anderson probably excited them in a slightly different way than Joe McFadden did last week ( Read more... )

So there I am having a quick look at my LJ information and it turns out that I'd made 1999 journal entries in the nearly-five-years I've had this blog. I figured I should do something to mark this 2000th post or it would just end up being a random theatre review without me noticing. I guess the obvious thing to do would be some kind of look back, ( Read more... )

IT'S! THE! SEMI!.............. FINAL! clarifies Shouty Voiceover Man, for those of us who might have thought it was in fact a semi-erection. Which is surely as much as can conceivably be caused by a show where the "sexy" act is Rubbish Decorator with his shuffling-from-foot-to-foot and armpit-flashing ways! This week's theme is "Club Classics" ( Read more... )

So it's another week on Twitter, in which I got overexcited about a shower scene in Misfits (even if the rest of you didn't - weirdos!) made jokes about a couple of celebrity deaths (with varying degrees of affection) and ended the week by fanboying my favourite theatre director ( Read more... )

I'll try to keep this review vague because, like Ghost Stories down the road, Deathtrap comes with a request that the audience help keep the plot a secret. It also seems to be trying to get some of that show's audience by promoting itself as a bit of a frightfest; inaccurately, I thought. There's one "big shock" moment, which I say because of the ( Read more... )

We're into September already, so here's the final week's worth of August tweets. Including the last episode of The Deep, about which it's fair to say that, like everyone else watching it, I'm no wiser about what the plot was actually meant to be than I was before the series started. In other news, Rubbish Tranny off Hollyoaks replied to me linking ( Read more... )

Just the one lowculture article from me this week. There's not much coming up on telly this week worth writing about (well apart from the Damages finale but that's Rad's baby, I wouldn't dream of trying to steal that one) but since tonight's episode of Glee sees the reunion of Joss Whedon behind the camera and Neil Patrick Harris in front of it, I ( Read more... )
