Just returned from another tour. (Edinburgh -> London -> Bristol -> Bath) It was a bit ambitious; we went to too many places in too little time, but it was still fun, even if I spent half the trip on a train of some kind. But the highlight of the trip was definitely, definitely Edinburgh. Where has it been all my life? I think that is one city I ( Read more... )

Wanted to watch the musics video for Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" this afternoon but I was shamefully reminded of that stupid Warner Brothers bitchfest where they're not letting anyone outside the US watch proper music videos anymore. And don't just think I'm looking at you WB (though you do bitch the loudest of EVERYONE, ya bastards); BBC, ( Read more... )

It was Life on Mars Day in British Telly lecture. And something called Shameless but I'm not quite so familiar with that ( Read more... )

Also, I was miserably NOT informed of Pi Day. For the past 10 years I've always had someone warn me of impending Pi Day ( Read more... )

I have Watchmen in a paper form, w00t! I was going to wait until I finished Casino Royale, but I don't know if I have the will for that. I also have Oz n' James' wine romp and The Three Doctors because I think that is potentially more cracktastic than The Five Doctors. It's so worth it for Jon Pertwee's bad ass jiu jitsu ( Read more... )

Second consecutive day I've been thwarted by intermittent weather; it's the weirdest thing. I've been trying to get to my family stomping grounds for ages, and yesterday I think "Today will be the day!" Only the have it start pouring as soon as I step outside. I make it as far as a shop for cough medicine. The rain stops. I step outside, it starts ( Read more... )

< tongueincheek>I know next to nothing about Watchmen. I'm still going to see it opening day. Why? BECAUSE IT HAS "RIDE OF THE VALKYRIES" IN THE SOUNDTRACK.

(Okay, that's not the only reason, but a movie cannot be bad if it has "Ride of the Valkyries" in it. It's like the 1812 Overture in V for Vendetta. I don't care if that makes me sound like an ( Read more... )

You're adorable. Seriously. The fact that you recognised AC/DC was lovely, but the fact that you had to tell me as I was walking by that they are your dad's favourite band was completely endearing. Thanks for making my day awesome, even if you didn't know it at the time.

Following a rich, automotive tradition, Oz is broken, yet again. My dad broke him. Again. It was the trunk latch this time. Yeah, I love him too. *facepalm*

Go ahead, faynia, laugh. You know you want to.

I was under the impression it didn't snow in England. That's like...99% of the reason I came here in the spring. (Other one percent is the Cheese Rolling Festival.)

What gives, England? What gives?

On the other hand...it could be 40 below. I guess I'm okay with it.
