"You want bigger hands? I can do that!"

I've just being watching repeats of Whose Line is it Anyway?

I really used to love that show. But maybe I do see gayness everywhere. Yes, I'm looking at you Caroline Quentin and Josie Lawrence. I saw that sly arse pat, Caroline.

Dear god I need a life.

In other news, GP has gone trekking for a couple of weeks. The sad thing is, I think I'm actually more boring without her here. It hasn't been a case of "Quick, the girlfriend's gone! Break out the strippers!" more "Quick, the girlfriend's gone! Break out the extra salt at mealtimes!"

I think I'll try an episode of South of Nowhere now. I've been seeing articles about for ages on AfterEllen, so it's definitely something I've been meaning to try and watch.

A quicky

While watching episode four, I had the thought: do you think there could have been something going on between Ruth (I really hope that's her name because that's what I'm calling her from now on) and Sarah? Just seems to me they had a vibe in the evaluation scene...but then again I've been accused of seeing gayness everywhere before.


On a lighter note: the evil hair returns! Bravo hair department. You'd be able to spot she has a bad attitude and a penchant for naughtiness a mile off. Run away, bar dude! Can you not see from the hair that this isn't going to end well? Didn't your mother ever teach you not to bed a girl with evil hair?

a break from the bionics

thoughts after watching the pilot for the new bionic woman.

Hmm. Michelle Ryan is pretty.

Katee Sackhoff also pretty.

I can imagine a fem-slash contingent growing up around these two, especially with lines like:

"What do you want from me?"

"Honestly? I don't really know."

But...a few small criticisms (and that's no small thing for me to say that - I even liked 'Catwoman' the first time I saw it. I did regain sense upon repeat viewing, however). Firstly, what happened to Michelle Ryans' face? Answer: Nothing. Nada. Not a thing. Whether dealing with eye and ear implants suddenly revving up or having a deep and meaningful threatening discussion with the head of the lab at the end...there was just nothing going on. I like her, I do, and I know that I could like the show, but I would have liked a bit more...emotion, I guess. A bit more of a feeling like...well. The girl's lost her baby, had half her body replaced by god knows what without her knowledge or consent and has gotten involved with a shadowy government agency who obviously want her to play things their way and...I just would have liked to see some of that conflict. How horrible must it feel to look at yourself in the mirror and know that half of what you're looking at isn't actually yours? And how horrible must it feel to know that some one's been playing around in your brain and adding who knows what?

Also, humour. Maybe I've been spoiled by years and years of Joss Whedon telly but would a little humour kill the writers? A snarky comment here, an inappropriate joke there...I mean, that's how people are. Funny just bursts out. Is it just me who sits here and watches stuff like this and adds funny lines in my head to what the characters are saying? I'd write one here, but I've forgotten them all already. Oh, well.

Oh, final comment: I loved Sarah Corvus's "I've been a bad, bad girl" slicked yet big bouffant hair.

I mean...that's evil hair.

I've just watched the teaser for episode two, so I guess I'll give it a go. It can't hurt, right?

Thoughts while watching the second ep:

How does she afford such a nice apartment?

Has she done something weird with her hair? I know I woke up yesterday with a weird 1920's style side-parting (impressive when your hair goes past your shoulders). It made me feel like I should have been slicking it down and Charleston-ing around the office.

One arm chin-ups...who knew they were so sexy?

Hehe, Ruth - is it? - drives a muscle car. I loved you in Third Watch!


Okay, I must have actually started watching it at some point because I forget to make pointless and/or sarky comments for the last half of the episode. Hmm. Engrossment could be construed as a good sign.

I guess, seeing as I have nothing better to do, I'll watch number three...

Ugh

Well. I've been trying to give up smoking for...well, a while. Actually, that's a lie. I've been talking about giving up, and thinking about giving up, and complaining that I should give up...but as for the actual doing? That's sort of fallen by the way-side.

However, this time I am going to make a concerted effort to succeed in my attempt to kick the habit (mostly because my girlfriend says she'll leave me if I don't). I haven't really smoked over the last couple of days but who wants to think about the last time they had a cigarette when they're trying not to obsess about cigarettes, and instead I shall think about smoking with a sort of fond, detached rememberance. Yes, I shall. I really really shall.

Yes, indeed. I guess it makes it harder that I don't want to give up. It's a horrible thing to admit, but I enjoy it (and I'm sure someone out there will want to smite me mightily for saying that, but it's the truth). I like smoking, I always have. Plus, y'know, the addiction. But I will try.

I always thought I'd be safe from the whole dramatic mood swings thing. I guess I just assumed that people had exaggerated, and that I'd be alright because I know what to expect. But no, it turns out that I am suseptable, and it does not make for a happy me make when you take away the precious nicotine drug.

Also, I was going to go off on a ramble about how I can find women smoking in movies quite sexy, but I decided that I couldn't be bothered to search for a picture. Go search for one yourself, you lazy bum!
