OK, so I know I'm a few days late with this (I know, I know, I fail at life) but in all fairness the internet was not great while I was on holiday, and I just didn't have time to sit down and do this post. Last year, it took me like 8 hours. So.

Basically this is the same as last year: I picked my favourite artists who I discovered in the last ( Read more... )

OK, so there's this British series called Criminal Justice that is OMG one of the best dramas I have ever seen. Maxine Peake is in it (and how she did not win a BAFTA for this role is beyond me, kalikeca and I have been practically tearing our hair out over it) and while she is a very big reason why it is so awesome, the show as a whole is complex and ( Read more... )

OK, I've been wanting to post a review of this since Monday, but since my DVD came yesterday (I love the UK postal service) I've rewatched a couple of times and hopefully organised my thoughts a bit more.

OK, so I've been thinking about this post nearly all day, because for whatever reason it's really important to me that I get it right ( Read more... )

So I've been wanting to do a manifesto for the Silvia/Pepa storyline on Los Hombres de Paco for ages and ages, and decided to do it for the Epic Proportions challenge at passion_perfect this year (last year I did Alex/Olivia although now I dislike most of those videos. Anyway). As an improvement of sorts on last year's effort, and to hopefully spread the Silvia/ ( Read more... )

OK, to be clear before I start, this is not a character death video! I merely titled it this because I didn't like the real title of the song and I felt that this title suited the fact that Alex's last episode will be the season premiere - it's a metaphorical mourning, if you will: the character herself remains very much alive. There are also no ( Read more... )

My first South of Nowhere vid!! Yay! It was actually made because ragemorejacko won the auction I held for help_haiti (I am holding another one right now in aid of Chile, just so you know). She requested a Spencer/Ashley vid to this song, and so I made it! I'd been wanting to do a SoN vid anyway, so she just have me the extra push I needed. I'm not sure if I'll be making ( Read more... )

(This is one of my very favourite poems, thanks to wizened_cynic, who introduced me to it. I want to talk a little bit about it, but not tonight. I ask you guys on my flist to read it, simply because it is so incredible and I want to know what you think. I will probably make a more coherent explanation of why I like it at some point, but for now this will have ( Read more... )

I was originally planning to do this tomorrow; however, the post I was doing for today was EATEN BY LJ and I couldn't face having to type it up again, so I finished up this one instead!

I've seen a lot of posts lately with people's favourite songs of the year (one of my favourites was captaincatapult's fantastic  'singles of the year' post) but I haven't found ( Read more... )
