EDIT: Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show
Grumpy Old Women - it's unadulterated whining and complaining about how useless men are, in a really regressive sort of way, but somehow humorous, despite featuring Anne Widdecombe. Eugh. She knows about moaning though.

Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show
This one's been holding me up. I don't really have a guilty pleasure one in that I'm quite proud to watch the things I watch. What can I say? I watch Desperate Housewives? Yes, because it has good writing and plots and stuff...
Day 17 - Favourite mini series
Steven Spielberg’s 10 episode Taken was rather good, and ( Read more... ) -
Cycling FTW
Tube strikes are enlightening.
They got me off the tube and onto my bicycle. Using the mighty Colliers Wood to City Cycle Superhighway is a joy (thank you Boris) and I feel remarkably safe. The fact that hundreds of other cyclists are using them is also fabulous. Cycling from Tooting Broadway to Clapham Common is also officially faster than taking ( Read more... ) -
Birthday Weekend
I had a totally fun-filled weekend :-)
Saturday I went to Nando's and the pub for totalprovidence 's birthday, then met with Mark to go an see Ghost Stories, which in terms of atmosphere is a lot like The Woman in Black only with more rocking chair moments (for those of you that have seen it). It was OK but it is very much over-hyped so considering how much it ( Read more... ) -

Day 11 - A show that disappointed you
Don't be mad at me for saying this, but Dollhouse, although sporting some fine moments and a great cast, was slow to start, the plot a little inconsistant and tbh I was (pleasantly) surprised it got a second season! It was also dealing with the minefield of a theme that is human identity and the mechanics of ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of TV meme - Day 9
Day 09 - Best scene ever
Had to be Buffy or Angel really because my geekery really is pretty one track minded. The scenes that really have an effect on me are ones with epic moral and/or identity conclusions reached by characters - for this reason contenders include:
- the cheesy but lovely last scene of Grave (BtVS 6x22) when Willow's grief-driven ( Read more... ) -
30 Days of TV meme - Day 8
Day 08 - A show everyone should watch
House - it’s just amazing. It’s pretty educational too. I mean obviously the medicine isn’t exactly accurate as it’s an entertainment show, but the unusual conditions are all real and mostly fascinating, especially the way House eventually figures them out. There’s a very good medical blog where a doctor takes ( Read more... ) -

Went to Camden today. It was awful. It made me really sad. There are a couple of bits of it that are still there in some way, but it's mainly unrecognisable. The things I relied on it for seem to no longer be there. When you can no longer find remotely gothy make up in Camden, you've lost the fight. It is now at least 75% Crap-for-tourists (TM). It ( Read more... )
