Techy stuff: email
In principle, email is really simple. Until, that is, you try to read it on or send it from a device that isn't a laptop. Sure, it should still be simple, but it's been a pain in the proverbial for me for months. I don't want to have to use a different email address. I *like* my email address. But due to Vodafone's faffing about with their email ( Read more... ) -
Fringe is expensive
I've been rewatching Fringe S1 because it was showing on Sky 1 this month. I (apparently naively) thought it would carry on into S2 and S3, but that doesn't look like it'll be the case. I tried watching Fringe when it was first out but it irritated me immensely, but this time around I'm liking it a lot better. So about the last third of the ( Read more... ) -
Holy crap, how is this legal?!
Just saw an advert for a loanshark. An actual advert on the telly. Wasn't taking much notice, other than wondering where I put the remote so I could fast forward, and I happened to glance up to see... "APR 1737% representative". Yes, you read that right, almost two thousand percent interest. They talk about an emergency loan of £100 to get a ( Read more... ) -
Film question
Has anyone seen the film version of the Time Traveller's Wife? Is it as hideously paedophilic (is that a word? You get my point) as the book or is all that stuff removed? And even if it's removed, does just knowing it was all over the book make it just too icky to watch? -
Dear USAmerican-style flisties
Is there really a company called 'the phone company'? Because it comes up in so many programmes, and it sounds so very silly. -
More wins
Supernatural has apparently won more awards. Is it just me who finds it wholly amusing that these awards that allow internet voting are being loaded with SPN votes? Are there actually people out there who still don't understand the enthusiasm of fans? Heh.
The boys seem quite amused by it, too: supernaturalIn other telly: Bones
I've been watching Bones. I think I've seen all of S2, most of S6 and some of S3 and 7 (don't ask me how Living are showing this). Thanks to the excellent primer I had (thanks, Rynogeny!) I can generally understand what's going on. And I like it. Considering I tend to really dislike shows that seem incapable of writing romance without turning ( Read more... )What we missed out on: 17th Precinct
Apparently the US telly industry makes a shedload of pilots that don't get shown. Here's one of them: http://io9.com/5872010/watch-ron-moores-fantasy-cop-show-17th-precinct-and-see-what-we-missed-out-on (the full pilot ( Read more... )Not much with the posting recently
I've been doing things that aren't posting to blogs of late. This isn't a great surprise to me, mostly because my focus has been quite inward and not outward, and not even inward in an outward kind of way. But I think I'm moving back into the real world, looking at things I have to do (sort out financey stuff, sort out housey stuff) and taking some ( Read more... )Q: What am I doing with my Saturday evening?
