Is there anything more annoying than when every single file you can find of a episode of something has audio that's just slightly off? Or fine for a little while but buggered up when it cuts back from commercials? I HATE it being out of sync.

Woke up this morning with the taste of tequila in my mouth and only vague memories of last night.

I remember the wedding pretty clearly. One of the brides wore a russet evening gown and the other was dressed as what can best be described as a toy soldier. I have no idea.

It was adorable though and very her.

So all that is fairly clear, although the free bar did me no favours. A bunch of us went to a club after and I accidentally got left behind as each of the two groups assumed I was in the other taxi. Cue bursting into drunken tears. Twice. Once at the wedding and again when the club's bouncer wanted me to queue up outside on my own for about half an hour before joining them inside. It worked though, he let me in to go yell at all my friends and demand tequila shots as reconpense for being left behind...... aaaannd thats about all I remember.

I would LOVE to know how I lost about half a toe nail and got this huge throbbing bruise on my leg. Actually, stike that. I think I may be better off in ignorance.

WTAF?

Today I tried on 50 different versions of the exact same dress. And all of them made me look like shit. This holiday season every woman is going to be dressed exactly the same. What the hell?

Finally found a different style that suited me but all they had left was size 6, so I better not exhale at the wedding next weekend!

Fashion is entirely beyond me.

I did pick up a tshirt that said 'I heart baddies' with a pic of the Joker on the front and the Riddler on the back that I had to buy, just to make me feel better. Because I felt such a failure for not finding something at this point.

You go to a dozen shops and look like a dog's dinner in each and every replicate of 'this season's dress' that you try on, you just have to buy SOMETHING.

They certainly seem to be getting their monies worth out of that cell set on Merlin! LOL probably only have 4 sets.

So who will be in jail next week? It's like Smallville Medical Centre. Once they've gone to the trouble of building a set EVERYONE has to have a scene there.

Britains got the Pop Factor and possibly a new celebrity Jesus Christ Soap Star Super Star Strictly on Ice

There had to be a cumupence for all the reality tv shows. I haven't LOL'd that hard in a long while.

Sat with my parents, who are watching Antiques Road Show. Someone brought in a rifle and now they're talking about the history of Samuel Colt and I'm squeeing.

Most tenuous of squee worthy links. Maybe I should just go to bed.

JUST TRY TO TELL ME I'M WRONG!

One of these days I'll be able to review with something other than OMG! MOST OVERT SLASH EVER!

Doesn't look like it's happening any time soon. Still, I love it! Oh boys! The hijinks continue.

Icon is relevant! \o/ Oh Dean, you crack me up!

Fringe

I caught the first episode last night and... I think I liked it. I can see it getting very frustrating though. I never really got on board with Lost, so the 'WTF is happening? All better be revealed!' format is slightly new to me.

I loved seeing Josh Jackson again though and I think I may love Dr. Bishop

The only thing better than a cow is a human. Unless you want milk, then you really need a cow.

So... are any of you guy's watching? What's the general consensus? Worth the time to watch?

Ok, so mostly 4.3. I'm once again playing catch up. Tomorrow will be SV. Possibly. I have to admit, the urge to watch despite Lexlessness is kind of overwhelming. We'll see how my day pans out. I've been roped into helping an elderly relative (well not so much roped in as likely to be wracked with guilt if I didn't help out) move house and the woman is a hoarder, so I might not get done untill 2 a.m.

Anyhow, I'm rambling. This doesn't bode well for my thoughts on SPN.

( Nevertheless.. )

Today at work I hit the new low of rewarding a child with a sticker (an awesome, shiny holographic sticker. I must have the best) for the accomplishment of being the only child in his group who managed not to fall backwards off his chair during a 20 min session.

Somedays you win, somedays you just pray that, if by some fluke these kids survive to adulthood without trying to use a hairdryer in the shower, no one ever puts then in a position of responsibility.

I'm teaching the future Prime Minister aren't I?

The half cannot hate that which makes it whole.

Could not possibly be more obviously slashy. And that wasn't even the worst of it.

That being said I enjoyed this ep MUCH more that last week. It bodes well. Well... better.

Ok guys. Where's the Merlin slash?

So I have been absent. For a long time.

I doubt that my absence has been particularly noted by many people, but either way, here I am. Back and offering no apologies other than 'life happened'.

Not in any interesting way, but it happened and needed a lot of my time. Sometimes things need your complete attention.

But new tv season, a little free time and I'm back.

So what are my flist watching this year?

So far I'm 50/50 on SV. I've only seen clips of the final ep of S7 as I lost all impetus mid season. The last ep airs next week and on the basis of that I'll decide if I want more. For the past few seasons I was watching for the Baum, and the few and far between CLEX moments. Now it's just long held affection for characters who've been taken to places that make them unrecognisable.


I'll be watching SPN, without shame. If anyone can direct me to someplace I can dl .avi files I'll adore them.

Aside from that I've been catching up on Doctor Who.

I only got into it at the start of S4, so I've been building up dvd boxsets. So far I've got S1 & 2 and I honestly don't see where the Rose/Doctor shippers are coming from.

Their love = entirely not epic

It's complete fail in the way that so many of my flings with guys I was terribly impressed with at the time were fail.

Oh and Becky, WTAF! We need to meet up right the fuck now!

SRSLY BB, WTF IS GOING ON WITH YOU? MAKE GREAT STRIDES AND KEEP ME OUT OF THE LOOP? I DON'T THINK SO

Aside from all discussion on which classic bad guys will turn up next, I'd like your opinion on introducing a Robin.

If you love the bat family as much I do then there is no question in the matter. Bats needs his Robin. At the very least.

Since when did del.icio.us get all boxy and hard to read?

*frowns*

I liked it the way it was.

Got back late Saturday. Going from 40 degrees in the shade to 14 in the rain is not a pleasant experience!

It was an amazing holiday though. I'm just waiting for various people to email me their photos and I'll choose a few to post and tell you more about it.

p.s. those people who asked for pstcards; they were bought in Pompeii and written on the last evening of my holdiday. I foolishly thought I'd have time to buy stamps and post them from Milan airport on my way back but there was no time due to Italians completely losing their shit when confronted with queuing for motorway tolls, lifts, just about anything really. Caused a few unexpected delays and I didn't get a chance. So they were sent today from exotic Manchester. Sorry about that.
