  • I should watch more of Coupling. When opal came over we watched a few episodes, and I remember enjoying the episode where one of the characters "has too many legs!" XD It's amusing how well The Moff can write both comedy and drama. And, clearly, when he's teamed up with Gatiss throwing horror and gay subtext into the mix, great things happen. :D

    Guh, I'm sorry, it must be annoying having everyone going CHRISTMAAAAAAS this time of year non-stop :/ I had a bit of a "wuh?" moment in Who when it was suggested that absolutely everyone on Earth celebrated Christmas. It was good, though; I'm reasonably sure the past-present thing was against universe-laws already established by the series, but I don't care because it was the most adorably feelgood thing EVAR :D

    Will definitely watch QI tomorrow. I really do adore Dan Rad. A friend of mine linked me to a vid of him singing the elements song the other week (found it) and d'awww, it's so cute <3

    Hugh Laurie's done a bit of voicework - he definitely voices a mutant cockroach in a labcoat in Monsters Versus Aliens. I remember because it took me ages to figure out it was him because I'd been watching a ton of House at the time and had sort of forgotten what his actual voice sounded like XD I still need to see Fortysomething. And that ridiculously old sitcom that Hugh and Stephen and Emma and everyone were all in together, I forget what it's called. Hugh needs to stop doing silly old House and come back to the UK and make shows with his old friends again.

    Yeah, the 1984-ness of V for Vendetta was excellent (and even better in the graphic novel!). I adore Huge Weaving, and seeing Stephen Fry playing himself was great. Except seeing him getting beaten up and such, that was pretty awful, but apparently he enjoyed filming it, so. And Lestrade was in that, too, because Rupert Graves is everywhere.

    I've enjoyed the Single Father episodes I've seen so far, but it does annoy me at points, and even the characters I like need a bit of a smacking from time to time (seriously, David Tennant, stop having inappropriate sex with your dead wife's best friend and sort your life out), but it's very sweet.

    Chris' voice is lovely. I have the first two Glee CDs and I was playing them in the car with my mum one time and she refused to believe that this version of Defying Gravity was by a girl and a boy XD
    Hee, the Sherlock bit made me far, far too happy. There should totally have been a Sherlock Christmas Special as well (yes, Stephen Moffat, I want to lock you up and write shows for me 24-7), with mistletoe poisoning or something and Mrs Hudson making everyone knitted jumpers and Harry and Mycroft getting sloshed and Sherlock hating on everyone but loving it really. But yes! It was excellent, and I loved how festive it was. We're halfway through the darkness, indeed <3
    And the fez bit had me dying XD I think the most entertaining bit of the whole day for me was explaining what was going on to my mother, like who everyone was, and why they were travelling through time, and why people were riding in sleighs that were pulled by giant flying sharks... okay, that last one is probably valid.

    I HAVEN'T SEEN THE QI EPISODE YET!!! I really want to, but between the four of us, we can never decide what to watch, so I'm going to catch it on iPlayer in the next couple of days. I'm really looking forward to it! :D

    Haha, speaking of recognising people by face but not voice, it took me an embarassingly long time earlier to realize that one of the pigeons in Valiant (the CGI-animated film about pigeons? If you've not seen it, it's not really that great) was voiced by Hugh Laurie :p

    Also my sister and I watched the first two (I say 'first two', there are four episodes total, so we're halfway through the series) episodes of Single Father earlier and it's really good! Watching the Tenth Doctor and Lestrade discuss their children was a bit surreal X3

    I thought you'd also be pleased to know I'm listening to the Glee Christmas CD :D
    Meretricious! :D

    ...I am so making it my new year's resolution to write to you properly; this is just embarassing D:

    Did you watch today's Who episode?
    Sososo I just watched the new Glee (writing papers sucks, makes my TV schedule all whack) and my first impressions:

    - I LOVED the magic comb. Brittany's just amazing. Adultery, haha.
    - WTF was up with all the "team" talk when Blaine did literally ALL the lead vocals for the Warblers anyway?
    - I like how they're calling out Will on his music choices and Rachel on her bitchiness, but I feel like Aesop Amnesia is about to come on just like always.
    - The new girl (Lauren?) is just hilarious. And I'm pretty sure she was one of the vampires from Theatricality. Just sayin'.
    - OMG Santana got a song! I love it when she sings! But what was up with her hair?
    - Is a tie even legal? The Warblers should've so won and then had some kind of Sue-at-the-end-of-Season-One thing to pull New Directions ahead too.
    - That canary/Kurt metaphor was SO hokey.
    - Haha. Asian kiss.
    - Is Tina getting fatter?
    - The music in this episode - especially the last song - felt very last-episode-ish. Hopefully that means next week they'll be focusing on plot, because that's a lot of threads to tie up before the break.
    Wiki says the midseason hiatus is til February, so I'm guessing something like eight weeks? I'm too lazy to look at a calendar, lol.
    Oh wait. Apparently this isn't the last episode, next week is. And yet this week is sectionals? Wow. At least this gives time for Kurt to come back to New Directions before the break.
    OMG your avatar/signature/everything is so amazingly Kurt and I love it. <3

    That is all. :)
    Hey. Do you have some time to do ASB/chat stuff right now? If so, could you pop over to Kutho so we could try to get something set up?
    Blaaaaahhh I forgot to reply ): I'm sorry!

    I haven’t even dipped my toes into the Glee fandom (I understand that people ship Kurt with Puck a lot?), but if I had to pick a side, I’d go with the Kurt people, mostly because Rachel annoys me. Not in a ‘I can’t stand her being onscreen’ kind of dislike, just a general ‘she irritates me’ thing.

    I read somewhere that Kurt’s actor tried out for Artie’s role, and the writers
    more or less created the role of Kurt for him. Is that true?

    I pay varying amounts of attention to shows depending on a) how much I like them, and b) if I’ve seen them before. When rewatching something, I can minimize it and do other stuff with it in the background, but I’ll still usually draw or play on my DS while watching something for the first time. Unless it’s seriously amazing – if there’s any risk that a character might die or something, I can give it my full attention, but I really like doing something while watching TV. Recently I’ve been making plushie owls out of socks.

    I actually have Community! My friend (who is the one who gave me Dexter and gave me my fantastic Sherlock-themed presents – I think you two would get along very well XD) downloaded and gave me all of the first series. I really need to watch it – she’s desperate to have someone else to talk to about it, since it’s apparently a bit of a niche show (or, at least, most of its target demographic watch Glee instead).
    I’ve seen the first episode, though, and I really liked it. I shall definitely keep an eye out for Mad Men, too. I’ve got an absolute crapload of TV to watch first, though, since so many people got my DVDs for my birthday :D I got S1 of Merlin, which I’ve been meaning to watch for ages, all of Jeeves and Wooster, all of The Thick of It, and I ordered series 1-4 of Doctor Who for myself last week. I borrowed and watched series 1-2 of Ashes to Ashes from one of my housemates and I really enjoyed it – I don’t think it’s quite as good as Life on Mars (I love Sam ;;), but apparently the third series is really good and sort of ties up the endings of both shows. So I’m on the lookout for a cheap copy of that.
    And I’m watching Bones with all the housemates, and that’s good fun. It’s a lot like House in that it’s fun, distracting television rather than something epically amazing, but given it’s about a group of attractive, middle-class professionals solving a different mystery every week while having sexual tension with one another, I wasn’t expecting anything too different XD

    I’ll definitely see if N2N is going to be showing in the area! I live so near to London, but haven’t been there in ages ): I haven’t seen Gypsy – is there a film version of it? I’m one of the few people I know who didn’t grow up with any musicals – well, except the Disney animated ones. My parents aren’t really into musicals (or, well, anything), so my first ‘proper’ musical was Rent when I was 16 XD I do like Fiddler on the Roof, though, if only for the memory of my Philosophy teacher showing it to us (I can’t remember why), splitting the class into groups, and making us all sing along to different parts.
    It was hilarious.

    Haha, if you can’t get used to old styles, maybe it’s best that you never see the old episodes of Doctor Who. The ‘special effects’ are hilariously dated. I remember a Dead Ringers sketch of all the incarnations of The Doctor all together celebrating Christmas, and Ten scaring Two (I think) with a foil-covered turkey and Four saying “That’s bang out of order! You know all his villains were made out of tinfoil!”. Aha! It’s on Youtube.

    Because I do an absolutely ridiculous course, I get two days off in the middle of the week, so sometimes I forget completely which of my two days off is the actual weekend and which is my LOL-I-study-sociology! weekend. It’d be handy to have a TV shows that aired regularly enough to make me keep track, but alas.
    Though I suppose I don’t have a working TV while at uni anyway.
    Whoooosh that's quite a lot too :D (sorry for the late-ish reply, had a busy weekend)

    Haha I'm having trouble deciding (they're all so rad), I'll probably doodle up some of them and see who gives the least problems haha P:
    You still got more? I'd love to see them too C:


    also dude there you go with the pixel artin' again (in your thread) !
    Awesome stuff, I'm lovin' those colours and texture and !.
    You should take some sort of in-progress shots of those pixel arts, I'd definitely be interested in seeing how you work with 'em :O
    Hello! I just wanted to say that I am really sorry about promising a redline and not delivering. I feel kind of terrible about it, but a bunch of stupid things happened and my tablet wouldn't work and by the time it did I thought you'd probably gotten on with your picture already :( pff I'm sorry!
