It's been a while since I popped in here for a square-eyed/bookish ramble, so here we go...

I shall start with TV (spoiler-free)

We have season 3 of Thronesy Goodness at home. I think I might have to re-watch the last ep of season 2 tonight as a reminder, then break into S3. (Kindly applaud my restraint. Not only for waiting this long to watch ( Read more... )

Well, hello there, livejournal ( Read more... )

Hello fiends, how are things?  I hardly get time to post these days, but here is a v. quick square eyed fly-by...

I've watched two films this week.

The first was 500 Days of Summer, starring Zooey Kookface Deschanel.  It was like sitting in the pub while a nice but unexciting friend tells you a 2-hour anecdote involving every single mundane ( Read more... )

Hello fiends, long time no witter!

In square-eyed news, it is with great sheepishness that I admit I have been watching ITV's 'Superstar'.  I can't help it... I love Andrew Lloyd Webber, even if he is Mr Toad.  And JCS is his second best musical EVER.  Also G and I have tickets to the stadium tour in September so we have an interest in who gets the ( Read more... )

G got the dvd of  'Game of Thrones' (aka 'T*ts and Blood') for his birthday and, 2 eps in, I am already slightly hooked, despite the fact that it is swordy and fantasy-ish and based in made-up-places.  I do think it promises to have a rollicking good plot.

It doesn't really do shades of grey, though, does it?  I have a feeling that most of the ( Read more... )

Ok, while I wait in agonising anticipation for my sage-stuffed bream and roast potatoes to be ready (the smell is killing me) I am popping in to make a quick square-eyed updatette ( Read more... )

Good evening Fiendlets,

It's been a while since I did a square-eyed ramble, so here goes...

Since we got our TIVO box we've watched some quite good telly on our late evenings when Micro is in bed.  Assuming you don't mind wading through the 8 billions channels of tat, there are a few decent channels and it's also rather cool to have access to old ( Read more... )

Last week, my good friend and proper vegetarian foodie sara_lou became quite cross when she discovered that committed porker Hugh Fairly Witless was about to jump on the bandwagon and 'do vegetarian'.   I have to confess I've always thought of Hugh as a bit of a plonker, but he's grown on me recently with some of his River Cottage recipes and his various ( Read more... )

Good afternoon, fiends.

I was getting ready to do some STUFF this morning but came over a bit dizzy so decided to take it easy with some knitting instead.  I don't know what possessed me to put the telly on as background but, as a result, I've just experienced my first bit of prolonged exposure to daytime telly for many years.

Good grief!  It ( Read more... )

Hooray and jubilations!  Archer Season 2 has returned to Channel 5.  I missed it terribly.  I'm not sure if they'll ever top Mole Hunt (the very first ep of season one) but here's hoping...

Today I was up with the lark seeing off my manbeast on another Paris trip.  Now I've wasted several hours in my pjs and have no idea what I will do with the ( Read more... )
