"What did you think you would achieve, no matter how high you went...?"
Finished State of Play today, which was probably silly of me 'cos it really is tough to follow when you watch it in three-hour block. But fantastically good nonetheless. It falls down a little in the middle (at points it literally feels like you can't think for being tangled up in possible plotlines) but the finale makes it all worthwhile. The scene where Cal confronts Stephen, and Stephen hysterically tells all about his involvement in Sonia's death is fairly jaw-dropping. John Simm and David Morrissey pulling out all the stops and just being genuinely fantastic :). I love them. They make me cry. I also love how in the end no-one comes out of it well; how everything gets screwed up. No-one is the good guy, and for some reason I love it when no-one is the good guy. I especially enjoy how Anne completely washes her hands of both the men because they are both inexcusable twats. In different ways of course, but inexcusable twats nonetheless.
I also think John Simm and Kelly MacDonald have lovely chemistry :). It makes me very happy while watching Skellig to delude myself and pretend that Dave and Lou in that are actually Cal and Della ten years down the line, when the whole Sonia Baker affair has blown over and they've decided they make such a good reporting team they should get married and live (almost) happily ever after.
Second last day in BBC Mad-chester today as well :(. I really am sad about it. It's quite easily the best job I've ever had-- just a shame that 1) it's in Manchester, 2) I'm not getting any money and 3) I go home on Saturday. Hmm. It really is horribly unfair. But I had a fantastic day today because I was generally a bit high on Neurofen Plus and entertained everyone with my bizarre enthusiasm.
I junked Keanu Reeves :D. Yay.
Tomorrow I'm going to try and buy a nice tin of shortbread as a good Scottish going-away gift. I wanted to make my own, but have kind of resigned myself to the fact that that will only end in disaster and I shouldn't waste my money. I DON'T WANT TO GO!!! I think I shall start a campaign to move Manchester I&A to Glasgow...
Sitting up now in the hope of catching the next ep of The Thick of It. I'm pretty sure it's on at 11.20pm or something. Gosh I love it. It's had an insanely detrimental effect on my quality of language; but It's wonderful anyway.
