Roald Dahl
That's what Glee reminds of.
I've been trying to put my finger on it for so long. It's the mixture of over-the-top facetious melodrama (Sue Sylvester as Madonna!) and the we're-serious-here realism they keep trying to combine (and now girls an important lesson on eating disorders!). While I don't think the show writers manage to integrate the two ( Read more... ) -

All in all, 2009 was a good year for me. Seems like I was one of the very few since everyone else said it was a bad year for them. Still, I think it's time for an end of year meme. Which of course, I'll complete late so there goes my resolution to procrastinate no more!

I feel a rant coming on... (wanky post is wanky)
Read the comments and understand. Pics for the non-Merlin fans
That's just.. I don't know what to say. I've seen similar reactions in other places and it just makes me so sad. At IMDB under Merlin, there's a thread called Unattractive Gwen (no really!) where the comments are along the lines of "I'M NOT RACIST BUT Gwen is ugly/untalented/lacking ( Read more... ) -

Embarassing confessions
Every year, on the 9th of January, Snape's birthday I do two things: one - I comment on mctabby's Time Capsule and two - I buy a cheap silver ring with a piece of glass in it.

I have succumbed at last...
to the temptation of Twilight.
Oh my God, someone stop me! What am I, some kind of masochist?
It was too much: the publicity, the wank, cleolinda's recaps, the endless metaquotes, the Stephanie Meyer icons - all too much. I have to read this crack! Now I'm looking at the pdf on my computer and the writing style isn't doing anything to endear Meyer to me ( Read more... )
