ATCHOO! I keep sneezing.
So I thought it was about time I bitched about the Daily Show. The brief way of putting this is that I don't like it. The reason this matters is that I was really prepared to love it and think it is hilarious. But it is not. Bugger. Guys and Girls, I urge you to download episodes of Have I Got News For You because that is how satire should be done. In the episodes of The Daily Show that I have watched, Jon Stewart will show a 'funny' clip of George W Bush, or some other dumbass in Government, and then just sit there as the audience laughs at it. That's not satire! Make an ironic comment, point out how wrong the segment is - just say something vaguely amusing. None of the reports are funny; they go on too long. I can't really comment on Stephen Colbert as I haven't since much of him (he is rather cute though) but Jon Stewart WHAT ARE YOU DOING? There. You Americans probably all hate me now ;)
In other news, I have decided that I am such a child about slash. Children probably shouldn't squee over The Gayness, but I read makingamochrie's newest fic installment and afterwards I was giggling and grinning to myself as I made lunch. Happyfic is good. Bravo to Sue.
It was my last day at The Cat Shop today. Very sad. Jo and Nina got me a few presents and Gemma filled up the rest of the bag with BOYZONE merchandise! We'd had a massive donation, probably by some ex-thirteen year old teenybopper. I now have a Boyzone pencil case with stationary, Boyzone cds, a Boyzone poster and a Boyzone folder with "For Uni - don't let it distract you from your studies" taped onto it. Then they handed me my bag I bought with me and it had Boyzone keyrings attached to it. I am truly the Queen of Boyzone (insert joke here). I'm going to miss the Cat Shop. On the plus side I now have things to burn if I ever have to hear Ronan Keating's massacre of Goo Goo Doll's "Iris" ever again.
ETA: Oh yeah, I also made a Whose Line Slash Soundtrack. I officially need a life rock.
