Things done today

1) Took flippin' ages to start the day.
2) Froze my ass. And my hands. And face. And everything.
3) Bought a tie rack for my brother.
4) Worked on Part 2 of Ye Thinking Out Of for the SPN/Threshold idea.
5) Froze s'more.
6) Got a new mood theme \o/ and changed some icons.
7) Watched The Devil's Whore 1x02

On point 7: I like the show. It's got horses and poofy dresses and rapiers and hot men with long hair and did I mention John Simm? Oh, darling :) Except he's not so much "sexy Simm" as "dirty and raggedy Sexby" which works fine because the angst oozes off the screen.

What I don't like about the show is that I'm not really the best audience for the major plotline. I am hopeless with intrigue, mainly because I can't remember anyone's name, so when there's plotting and letter-writing and whispering in corners, I'm just sitting there going, "Wait, who's that they're talking about? Wait, who?" But that's my fault and my weakness. Still enjoying the show, though.

ETA: *whine* It's a four-parter show only :(

Gaiman: "And frankly, they all join up round the back." That's my view on fandom :) 12:51 AM

My brain on crack comes up with phrases like, "What's wrong with a sarong?" and "Fight the pants oppression!" Poor brain. 7:25 PM Nov 26th

New show with John Simm?!? So watching! I'm glad you told me that, or I wouldn't have known. ^_^ /drool

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Devil's Whore Trailer (http://share.ovi.com/media/meshelley.JohnSimmSociety/meshelley.10010)! And I recommend checking out (and joining) john_simm, 'cause the folk there share all kinds of goodies ;)

[blizzardcake.livejournal.com]

Carleton dropped Shinerama.... *facepalm* I have no words to convey the idiocy of it all.

*off to see my seduction style*

i don't understand a lot of intrigue either, also at least partly because i can't remember people's names or even often their faces. to date, i don't think i've understood the plot of a single James Bond movie.

i'm glad someone else has this problem!!

Want Crowley to lay smackdown on Castiel, offer Uriel job (who' hang with Islington) while Arizaphale coos over Bobby's books. 12:44 AM

This would make me watch Supernatural again (I lost interest when the big story arcs came out, I like monster-of-the-week dammit!)

*gratuitously uses Good Omens icon :P*

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

But...but the pretty! How can you say no to the pretty?!? Angsting pretty! (Seriously, sometimes I'll just be staring at my screen going, "How can you be so damn gorgeous? How?!?)

I agree, though that this season's overall arc is going for the Huge and Epic aspects, but there's still some good stand-alones.

[capn-mactastic.livejournal.com]

I dunno, somewhere around season two I suddenly realised I felt 'meh' about it all and it felt like a chore to watch it :( Sam and Dean don't really do it for me, either (though their dad was another matter entirely, RAWR!)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

I felt 'meh' about it all and it felt like a chore to watch it :( That's a shame. (Might some specific episode description strike your fancy?)

And yeah, Papa Winchester was kinda nice ;)

[capn-mactastic.livejournal.com]

I would probably watch that one episode and then let it drop again though... I dunno. I'm funny when it comes to shows, something that seems like it should be perfect just might not hit my buttons.

I have a taste for bears... I'd probably take Chandra over Mohinder :P (this is blasphemy, I know)

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

Blasphemy? I wouldn't touch the current version of Momo with a ten foot pole. *urge to smack Momo: rising*

Have you given Devil's Whore a try? It's got John Simm and other pretties :) Plus, only 4 eps in total.

[capn-mactastic.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched the last two episodes, does he get even more smackable? Oh Heroes writers, wtf r u doin?

I watched the first episode but my Sky+ box decided it didn't like the second one... it always conks out on BBC stuff, I dunno why *pout* Bloody thing did the same thing with Bone Kickers.

[bending-sickle.livejournal.com]

I honestly can't really remember what Mohinder's been doing lately because I've lost all squee for Heroes. I still watch it (hope springs eternal and all), but if there's anything else remotely interesting to watch or read, Heroes gets pushed back.

...Bone Kickers? (I first read that as Knickers, which was ever wierder.) Wiki fails me :(

[capn-mactastic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm actively putting it off too :( Today I did laundry, a supermarket shop, and cleaned my bathroom to put off watching it. This is not good :(

(LOL!) Bone Kickers = BBC archaology drama series. It was cringeworthy if you know anything about archaology, but strangely entertaining (but then, I like really crappy horror movies too :P)

It was fairly epic, I think at one point they found the True Cross^TM. As you do.
