If you have access to BBC3 and didn't catch it first time round, I do recommend Being Human, a one-off drama about a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost who end up sharing a flat. It's smart, funny, well-written, well-acted television, and it's repeated tonight on that channel at 10pm. It's also on BBC iPlayer, if you're in the UK. I really hope it gets made into a series. I think I might watch it again.
(ETA: jamaillith has reminded me that there's a petition to sign, if you'd like to see it made into a series.)
Last week I went to see Russell Howard live. I thought he'd be quite funny, having seen him on telly a few times. He's fantastic! So full of energy, enthusiasm and joy, you just feel like you're being carried along on the force of it. I particularly loved the dinosaur catwalk show and the anthropomorphised newspapers. The anecdotal bits about his brother's epilepsy and trying to talk a suicidal guy down off a roof managed to be both funny and genuinely moving. I was really impressed -- if you like comedy at all and you get the chance, go and see him.
Earlier today I ate almost a whole huge bar of Sainsbury's Taste the Difference plain chocolate with swirls of Belgian milk chocolate and honeycomb pieces. Admittedly, it did make me feel a tiny bit wobbly afterwards, but it was totally worth it. So I recommend doing this, but not after a full meal. In fact, I hadn't had any breakfast or lunch when I tried it, and I think it was just what I needed.
Hrrm, that's all for now.
