I enjoyed I'd do anything and Britain's got talent a lot more than Doctor Who tonight.

*Ducks to avoid being pelted with rotten fruit*

I feel like a bad fan...but the pacing was just excruciating. And I am ,in my heart, clearly really, really trashy.

My parents just offered to pay for me to go on holiday to New York. And offered to buy me a new car.

Um. Do I have a terminal disease that no-one has mentioned to me?

Right then. Decisions need to be made. Obviously I can't be trusted to make these myself.

Poll #1188891 I used to be indecisive but now i'm not so sure.
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Where should Emma live and work next year?

So, the Doctor's daughter. Perky, very perky. I hate perky. Don't judge me. And Donna continues to be amazing. Marry me Donna, you have lovely pre-Raphaelite hair and an amazing cleavage...

What have I been doing with myself? Working mainly. Its horrible. And i've decided that i'm going to be a supply teacher next year instead of getting a permanent class which has taken a lot of pressure of. The prospect of teaching no longer makes me need to breathe into a paper bag and have a sit-down. Hallelujah.

I also saw ( Persepolis )

There is still a distinct lack of confirmation of Torchwood series 3, although all parties involved seem to feel that we will get TW in some form - just a bit DIFFERENT from what we're used to. Needless to say, all I demand is boy-kissing and plenty of Ianto - my needs are simple and shallow.

I've recently been devouring The Tudors, which makes me exceedingly happy. Yes, sometimes it does bafflingly inaccurate things (Henry's sisters: merged into one) but I find if you have a large enough glass of wine then you can sit back and enjoy the political intrigue, the filthy sex and general incompetence that makes the TW crew look efficient.

At the other end of the scale, i've also been watching Greek, which is about the fraternities and soroties at a fake American university. Its really, really fluffy and oddly compelling and I watched 12 episodes in 24 hours. Addictive doesn't even begin to cover it. And yes, I have no life, I think that goes without saying.

Torchwood. Yes. That always makes me feel better.

( 2.11 'Adrift' )

( 2.12 'Fragments' )

Did anybody else watch Being human? It was one of the best things i've seen for ages - Intelligent, funny, compelling, slashy...Commission it bbc3!

And it had good lines:
"I think i'd quite like to be a Hufflepuff - They look like they spend their time making things using safety scissors and glitter"

"You win 10 million pounds. What do you do?"
"Buy Colin Firth!"

I just wanted to say something about ( Ashes to ashes )

Oh, and ( Torchwood 2.07 )

ETA: And does anybody know where Being Human is set? It looks REALLY familiar...

OH MY GOD.

Have just got out of the shower in my uni room to discover that i've flooded my entire room. Am perched on my chair amongst a a sea of water.

Fuck!

So, this week there were two episodes of Torchwood. It rather left me feelnig like i'd OD'ed on uber-geekiness:

( Torchwood 2.05 'Adam' )

( Torchwood 2.6 'Reset' )

So, my immediate reaction to tonight's Torchwood episodes is '!!!!!!!!'

Also? And I realise that momentous events happened tonight but I can't quite get past the fact that evil!Ianto? Is HOT LIKE THE SUN! Ahem. I may have some sort of psychological issue...

*Wipes drool off her chin*

There's going to be an Arrested development film?! Eeeeeee! What with that and the Dead like me film we're getting soon my little heart is stirring with love for forgotten shows.

Um. Would it be very wrong of me to buy one of these?

Ha. There's a man that knows his fanbase!

So. I want to avoid the mountains of planning I have to so am going to skulk off to the IOE library tomorrow instead. Anyone got any suggestions for stuff to in London whilst i'm there?

Skins 2.01 was brilliant. It amazes me that people still sneer at it and write it off as a gratuitous teen drama without giving it a go because...yes. Just yes. It does have heart. and awkwardness. and growth.

So this week i've seen...

( Sweeney Todd )

( Juno )

And watched...

( Ashes to ashes 1.01 )

( Torchwood 2.04 'Meat' )

So...if Torchwood is the angsty, filthy form of fanfiction, is Primeval the crack-tastic kind written by 13 year olds on ff.net with badly spelt summaries?


Also: I hate my teaching practice. I wanted to be an academic or work in post-production - what made me think I could cope with teaching?! Aargh...

So...

( Torchwood 2.3 'To the last man' )

( And just a comment on the DW season 4 trailer )

So...

( Torchwood 2.2 'Sleeper' )

Wel, i'm back...

...How are you all? How are we all surviving the tv free 'winter of discontent'? I've found I haven't really had any inspiration to post...until now. And its thanks to that bad boyfriend of fandom, Torchwood . Oh yes. It will confuse you, stomp on your heart and make you throw coasters...but now, its actually got QUITE GOOD!

( Torchwood 2.1 'Kiss kiss, bang bang' )

I have no idea why but I have just this second hit my Kristen Bell saturation point. Ack! Now my irritation is just mounting...

So...anyone with a proper wireimage account out there? Do you think you can youtube the ZQ interviews from the EMA's, the Scream awards and the Emmy's?

Please....?

Anyone...?

So, I wanted to talk about this season's ( Heroes )

Because, i'm lazy, have a list:

1) Heroes is failing to download. This displeases me immensley. *Kicks Bit torrent. hard*

2) I am in love with Chuck. Its not perfect (Morgan, I mean you) but it has a huge amount of dorky charm, a great soundtrack and Zachary Levi. Mmmm...

3) So...Dumbledore is gay? Hilarious! Well played Jo, you Machiavellian genius you - canon homosexuality from a character no-one wants to write slash about!

4)I have so much work to do. Instead, i'm sitting here eating a family size bag of M'n'M's and reading go fug yourself. I lose at life.

5) There is no number five - lists, you're doing them wrong! Except to say that I spent a morning trying to narrate my own life a la Pushing daisies. Its harder than it looks.

ETA: Deb's new man on Dexter is called GABRIEL - That has to be a cute little serial killer in-joke, right?

I know, I know: I keep going awol. Everyone throw rocks at me.

Truth is, i'm not used to being busy and having to find time to do things the things I want to do - i'm a rubbish multitasker. My teacher training is going well, having got off to a worryingly dull start (So.much.planning) - and in three weeks I go into a school to do my first teacher training placement. Gulp.

Its odd living back at university having had such a bad time as an undergrad (I was very depressed), and oddly, even though I expected to stick out like a sore thumb here I didn't expect it to be because i'm surrounded by Irish students (My uni takes a lot of them) - I'm their token posh English girl! Its hilarious - they seem to think i'm practically landed gentry (I mentioned that i'd had an au pair when I was younger the other day and they looked at me as if i'd grown a second head).

Whilst i'm here though, have a review of the first ( two episodes of 'Heroes' )

Also, do you guys know of a download community where I can get hold of Chuck, Reaper and Pushing daisies? (Not ihearttvshows, they turned down my application).
