It's been a very blah day, so I am self-medicating with Ben and Jerry's (who are awesome btw). I was going to try another flavour, but I ended up with Cookie Dough again. Nom. This container is far emptier than I would like to admit.
I think I'm going to check out Oxford tomorrow. It's easy to do as a day trip, I've wanted to go since I was a little kid, and I just need to get out of the house and not just for a walk to the supermarket/run (yes, really, sort of) through the Common.
In a similar vein, I also bought a ticket for Kevin Smith's Q&A in October because I really wanted to go, life's too short and it's cheaper than flying somewhere to see Muse (which will have to wait until I have a job of some sort sadly).

I've been mostly ignoring mention of new season shows, but I caught this clip of the new ABC show Flash Forward which stars John Cho and Joesph Fiennes (!). Joseph, who I had a ridiculous crush on at 16 due to Elizabeth and seeing him play Robert Dudely (who I also have/had a historical crush on) and who I used to look for internet news on all the time! I mean, yes, Joseph Fiennes, cool. I'm intrigued, even if Joesph's accent is throwing me off a little as I keep expecting him to talk with a British accent. I'm easily thrown by that, and I think non-US actors trying to pull off the accent can overdo it (especially if it's southern, Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer and to a lesser extent Ryan Kwanten) but it can also be done well (Hugh Laurie). Not sure where Joseph sits at this stage.
Seeing District 9 in the weekend!
