chaletianSo, once again it has been a while since I updated. Obviously, even as I type, everything I had planned to write about has fallen out of my brain. C’est triste.
TV: So, Bones, Supernatural and Jericho have all finished now. There was a class moment at the end of Bones, and I now have a secret (OK, no longer secret) fantasy that they randomly start the third series with Booth and Bones being married. Because that would be comedy gold. SPN was, of course, fantastico, and I’m really looking forward to next series’ arc, as long as Sam doesn’t go to the dark side. That is, I’m sure it would make good tv, and JP does evil!Sam pretty darn well, but I think it would cause Dean just too much angst and woe, and I think he’s had enough of that this season. Jericho. Oh, Jericho. I really hope it gets picked up by *someone*, but am not particularly optimistic. Also, we are now wholly addicted to Studio 60, as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katie__pillar pointed out, and there is SO MUCH LOVE for it. We have watched the first 15 eps over the last few days, and are looking forward to the rest, as they air the last few eps in America. Heads up, though: 1x15 is bloody depressing. Aaaand: Heroes finale!!! (Hopefully tonight; depends on wireless access in new flat.)
Larking: I met up with Rosie in London on Saturday, and we had a very pleasant day bopping round London. We went to see Mary Poppins, which was very enjoyable – Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious was absolutely superb, and the set was amazing, though I have to say I wasn’t bowled over by the girl playing Mary Poppins. The Family Banks was great though, as was Bert.
The Love Nest: We’ve now taken most of our books over to our new abode (which is operating under the name Fangirl Towers until we can think of something better), and Katie will probly be alphabetizing them as we speak. Or I type. Whatever. I wonder if our appliances have been delivered yet? I have only one wall remaining to paint, as well as the window, and am in possession of a beast of a wardrobe, which Katie et son pére were kind enough to build for me on Sunday. I can’t believe we’re moving in less than a fortnight!! Jolly exciting!
Mon petit frère: Is back with Bex – huzzah! He will also be coming to help us move Saturday week, which is mighty kind of him.
In the news: OK, I’m probably callous and mean and unfeeling, but is anyone else finding the furore surrounding Madeleine McCann slightly disturbing? Obviously, yes, it’s a terrible thing that she’s disappeared, and her family must be beside itself, but the extent to which THE WORLD seems to be leaping on the bandwagon (and I do not use the expression lightly) is actually quite creepy. Also, I see that there is a new ‘spy camera helicopter’ in development which the Merseyside police will be using to track anti-social behaviour. Jesus Christ on the proverbial. Spy camera helicopters? What is the world coming to? In all seriousness, I would rather have a bit of anti-social behaviour than a world populated by spy camera helicopters. Have the people who developed these things never *seen* dystopian science fiction?
That’s it for now. I may think of more stuff later.

Mary Poppins is fantastic but Scarlett Strallen is crap (if it's still her.).

Date: 2007-05-22 01:19 pm (UTC)Let's start a club... *g*
I don't know - we didn't get a programme. I *really* didn't rate her, though, whoever it was.
Thanks for the cheque, btw. Will endeavour to send books shortly (I don't *think* Katie packed them!!).

2 - That Maddy ticks all the boxes for a truly hysterical tabolid story - pretty little blonde British girl gets snatched abroad. I can't remember who got into trouble about suggesting the same thing over the Soham case, but I very much doubt that there would be the same hype if Maddy wasn't White.
3 - The cynical 'Reward' debacle - I can't believe those celebs who publically offered money for information. They get in all the papers for being so very generous and lovely, and chances are they'll never have to fork out since rewards for information are notoriously rarely claimed in our society. Besides, tragic as it is to admit this, the chances of that little girl being found alive now are, I'd say, slim to none. Free publicity though - ace.
Children are abused and killed in this country all the time - victims of domestic abuse, molestation from members of their own family, neglect, gang culture, careless driving, drug abuse, etc etc. Maybe all the high profile 'concerned well wishers' could donate to do something about those, less media-friendly cases.

Date: 2007-05-22 03:07 pm (UTC)Word. It really quite sickens me the way everyone seems to have leapt onto this bandwagon. Yes, it's tragic. But bad things happen to kids all the time, and you don't get football teams and what have you wearing t-shirts over it. I just find it both cynical and sentimental (yep, have no problems with logical contradiction there... *g*). Pah.
