This is going to be worse than how annoyed I got every time people called him "Saaaaantose" instead of "SAHNtos" on The West Wing, only not fictional.

( Life On Mars 2x08 )

Things I have watched:

- Episode six of Life on Mars. My bulletproof kink! Everyone's gonna die! (See: The Flax, Out of Gas, The Wish, Timebomb, Død Kalm, etc.) And oh, he smiled! And she knew!
- This week's The Office this morning. His suit is bisexual! Oh, so much love.
- Last week I had disc 4 of TWW S7, and thusly: The Cold- Today, just ( Read more... )

I always cry at television. We know this, yes? And sure, there's the "I first watched The Wish when I had a horrible head-cold and used an entire box of tissues," or the "I cried over Doomsday at least ten times...just counting the times while I was in the shower," but then there's the things I don't mention, like the fact that I'm probably the ( Read more... )

Things which are far too ridiculous to be true [for various reasons], and yet somehow are:

1. While watching The West Wing via Netflix, most of the time I have been using English subtitles. Because, while the cast are astoundingly brilliant actors, a handful of them have the most garbled diction in the world. I'm looking at you, Bradley ( Read more... )

And I think the boiler broke tonight, so now I am huddled under a blanket in the living room watching my Netflixed TWW S5 DVDs. Not the best Friday ever, really ( Read more... )

Let's just say this was the complete opposite. Through the extent of 24 hours I was in the North Bay, the East Bay, the city itself, and the waaay South Bay. Gotta ( Read more... )

Item One:

So, I'm watching The West Wing today, and in the middle of Galileo, this happens.

Bartlet: So to make up for it, I'm going to see the Reykjavík Symphony.

Leo: Yes, sir.

Bartlet: With, uh, Ambassador...

Leo: Vigdis Olafsdóttir.

Bartlet: Okay.

Leo: He's very excited to meet you.

Me: What? No. "He"? HAH. *pauses DVD*

( The Reykjavík Symphony Orchestra? I hear they're pretty good. )

( Studio 60 - The Cold Open )

To excuse this post from realizing its true existence, which is: stealing links from amerella, I will offer a stream-of-consciousness paragraph I wrote while bleary-eyed this morning and trying to remember my very odd dream.

But first. The links.

- Ricky Gervais, the 80s, and the cover of a J-Pop magazine. He kind of looks like David Bowie. That is ( Read more... )
