Ten things about 2007

[shinytoaster]

1) I have acquired 20 more channels over Christmas and there is nothing on any of them. This is not surprising. Although the other day I chanced upon a re-run of The Crystal Maze.
2) Having said that, I wish More4 would make the cuts it insists on making to The Daily Show less glaringly obvious. I'm aware there's no point having an in-show trail for The Colbert Report as they don't screen it here, but as a consequence the commercial break in the middle is at least seven minutes long.
3) Happy New Year.
4) Ugly Betty is amazingly good, although I am flummoxed to understand exactly why the editorial staff of a magazine were devising a marketing campaign in episode one.
5) I have not got started on the new season of Desperate Housewives yet because for various reasons I am still working my way through season 2. I understand Kyle McLachlan is in it.
6) That's enough TV.
7) There is some kind of lump in my throat, it is screaming 'I am some kind of swollen gland and very soon I will make you suffer' at me.
8) Last night I dreamed I was being attacked by webwood lurkers. I blame paintobscura.
9) The sauce on the Quiznos chicken teriyaki sub bares no resemblance to teriyaki sauce.
10) Today's top 3 searches on the BBC homepage are jokes, Belfast and Rolf Harris.

re 10) So, an Englishman, a Scotsman and an Australian walk into a Murphy's bar...

1) I am tempted to get my HBO, Showtime, etc channels again, but I wonder if I will be feeling the same way if I sign back up for them. I am just jealous of people watching Dexter, Rome and Extras right now, I think.

3) It makes me sad that you do not get The Colbert Report. I love The Dail Show very much, but I think I love TCR more.

4) I should watch Ugly Betty, but I find myself unable to concentrate on more than two shows at a time, and Grey's Anatomy and Battlestar Galactica are the lucky winners.

9) You have Quizno's in London? Huh.

Ugly Betty is one of my favorite shows but they consistently confuse how seperately editorial and advertising are, even at a fashion magazine where the line is admittedly blurred. Later you'll see a discussion of what would happen if Wilhelmina became publisher which makes no sense whatsoever. That said? OMG Henry in accounting is the most adorable thing.

4) Gah! I meant to watch that. *runs off to download it*

"1) I have acquired 20 more channels over Christmas and there is nothing on any of them. This is not surprising. Although the other day I chanced upon a re-run of The Crystal Maze."

Those exact words could have been mine. And yet, what price twenty channels of QVC and Friends, for re-runs of The Crystal Maze? What an excellent show. It's true: you never know what you've got till it's gone.

Merry Brand New Year!

Don't it always seem to go
that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
They paved paradise
and put up Deal or No Deal.

...Bastards.

I AM evil, aren't I? Just be glad it's only webwood lurkers, and not some of the truly freaky things in WoW scaring you ;)
