OMG ITS NOT EVEN SATURDAY AND PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN UP POSTING INTERESTING THINGS ON LJ.

No its not fair that you all have lives, I say it isn't, why do you ask.

Warren Ellis's rant on the cancellation of Robin Hood, Primeval, the movement of Torchwood, and the state of British teevee. Not that I watch any of those shows but the man probably has a point.

COOL BAND: Beat Antique. They've come out with a new album today, Contraption Vol. 1 EP. I think they are brilliant, rocking some sort of hardcore and sometimes urban themes while actually sounding eastern European/Middle Eastern. This is all good in my book, and the fact that a good deal of their songs are instrumental mean YAY, WRITING MUSIC. I love good lyrics so much that  I tend to actually listen to them instead of writing when I try. (Or I accidentally transcribe what I hear while writing, which is interesting and apparently I'm not the only one.)

BAND I WANT TO LIKE: Anweledig. Welsh band that actually sings in Welsh, something I like as I'm trying to learn the language. But their music is a bit too... I dunno, poppy/Jimmy Buffett/ska/something like the lame German shit my grandmother sometimes listens to like Heino. Some of it. The stuff on myspace is okay I guess; "Byw" has its moments. I just really want to like their song "Merch Coffi" because a song with cute lyrics in Welsh called "Coffee Girl" has to be worth loving, right?

Spending my day reading and trying to write fic. Working on a Gene/Donna fic and I'm also really hoping I can get somewhere with a rather-awesome-if-I-do-say-so-myself fic idea for Jack/Irina. XDDD

ONLY THING BRINGING ME DOWN: I cannot find my Beauty and the Beast DVD anywhere. If you see it wandering the streets please tell it to return home. Reeeeeeeeeeeally want to watch it.

(I have freshly-made naan and hummus. Snack time!)

I'M SORRY. I am too busy crying over Andy Murray to be interesting.

Warren Ellis's rant on the cancellation of Robin Hood, Primeval, the movement of Torchwood, and the state of British teevee.

It would be really interesting to do a big old analytical comparison of British and American television. I'm sure that both sides would end up being pretty grim, but they could probably both learn something from each other.

Uhhhh I just wish there would be a bunch of directors that would take television seriously as film art. And possibly that reality tv would die.

*ponders* Actually my BFF is at NYU for television production or some degree like that. He does a lot of analysis of ratings and scheduling and themes and stuff. It's interesting.

NO SERIOUSLY IT IS BULLSHIT HOW QUIET LJ WAS TODAY D:

I would have posted earlier but I was trying to upload pictures. Now everyone is posting and no one will read mine. BUT WHATEVER, CLEARLY THINKING TOO MUCH ABOUT LJ IS A SIGN OF NO-LIFE-HAVING *_*

I think the move of Torchwood sucks since they might be leading up to a cancellation, BUT I don't understand why anyone's surprised about Robin Hood since they killed Marian last season and then the only other woman left. WTF??? I'd be surprised if people still watched.

Oooh, mmm, Middle Easternish music. I may check that out.

I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR DVD ♥

And also I eat naan & hummus for snack all the time ;)

Oh, I never had a life, so whatever if LJ is my main entertainment source. Everybody needs to post interesting shit ALL THE TIME. So say I.

Blah. I hope Torchwood doesn't get cancelled. I mean, I don't watch it, but I MIGHT, and I think its sort of important to acknowledge that other side of the Who universe. Not that TW always does a great job of showing those themes but DW is one world, where the Doctor comes, saves the world, and moves on. And that's not human life. So Torchwood acknowledging that side being there is important to have as a counterpoint and a basis.

Forgive me if I'm not making sense: had to go to the parents' church/my old church for a fourth of july thing tonight. Sobriety was in no way an option. I have had sooooooo much rum. I don't know why I didn't bring rum all the time back when I used to go there. YAYYYYY RUMMMMMMMMMMM.

MMM naan I love it. Do you make your own? I sometimes do, but the batch I made last night I think I put too much flour and not enough interesting spices in. Ah well, that's what recipes are for: altering beyond all recognition into being totally delish.

Guess who showed up in my Gene/Donna fic: ROSE. :DDD
