Checking in for the Holidays
I don't post here much anymore, do I? I've mostly moved over to tumblr these days for my online interactions. LJ in general seems pretty dead ( Read more... ) -
Papo Figurines
Is anyone else here familiar with Papo figurines? They are a French company that makes neat little toys, many of them fantasy- and history-based. I fell in love with them a few years back when I found their female pirate figure at a toystore, and have bought several more since then. Yesterday, I bought the female farmer and the (discontinued) ( Read more... ) -
Great Big Sea at the Moore Theater
Tonight, I went with my friend Anna to see Great Big Sea at the Moore Theater, and ... I wasn't in the right mood for it. You know how, sometimes, you want to go out and have a beer and dance your ass off, and sometimes you just want to roll yourself up in a down comforter with a cat and a cup of tea? Tonight I felt much more like the latter than ( Read more... ) -
Green Wing: Not Impressed
I wasn't planning to write a review of Green Wing, but it seems I am not going to be able to sleep until I do. First, let me start by saying this is a weird show. I have no problem with weird. There were a lot of things I enjoyed -- enough to keep me watching through almost 20 hours of television in the hope of a satisfying resolution -- but there ( Read more... ) -
Yay, California Adventure!

Friends Purge
I did a massive friends purge, because I think there are a lot of people who just don't use LJ anymore. If I removed you, and you're still here and paying attention, please drop me a comment. -
Just a little fangirl SQUEE!!! to finish my day
So there's this song. I don't know where it came from, but I've had the mp3 for about ... 10 years now? When I downloaded it, or got it from someone, it was labeled as "Leonard Cohen Dans Macabre". It was patently neither of those things, but it was a really fucking cool song, so I kept it. But here's the thing. Not only did I not know the name of ( Read more... ) -
Where the Heart Is (2000)
I love this movie so much, and I don't even know why. It's such a cheesy chick-flick, which is not my usual at all. But it's total comfort viewing for me, like the visual equivalent of macaroni and cheese or chocolate milk. Sometimes, I just need it ( Read more... ) -
Luther, Season Two
Reposting my reviews of the second season of Luther. I am still pretty underwhelmed, though there is some better writing than in the first season. What am I saying? This show is dead to me! INDIRAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Spoilers abound....

Luther, Season One
I've been watching and reviewing the British detective series Luther for the past week (spectralbovine made me do it!), and I thought I should archive my reviews here before they get lost in the shuffle of the interwebz.
Warning: It turns out I do not like this show very much, Indira Varma notwithstanding. There's a lot of graphic violence perpetrated against ( Read more... )
