I am finished work for the year! \o/ And my Yuletide fic was uploaded on time! \o/

I must admit, in total me fashion, now, a day and a bit before Christmas I am feeling a little Christmas-y. I had a choice to take tomorrow off and I'm so glad I did in the end, because I have to cook soup for Christmas Day and I thought it might also be a good time to try the chocolate and raspberry brownie recipe [livejournal.com profile] china_shop posted. Things will be achieved, I may have time for Yuletide Madness, and I'll get to sleep in a little. ;)


Merlin: The Last Dragonlord )


I have to give props to BBC Two for their line-up tonight: Top of the Pops 2 Christmas Special, a Grumpy Guide to Christmas, Never Mind The Buzzcocks Christmas special, Russell Howard live (<3), QI and then Mock the Week Christmas special. I need to see a Russell Howard show at some point, he was so good.

I keep thinking there's something else I want to mention in this post, but I can't remember right now.

Random yay: I will have a broadband connection when I read Yuletide this year. *is impatient*

Edit: I was going to go to bed, and then along comes the episode of Have I Got News for You that I meant to catch up on. Life, so hard. Also, is David Tennant on QI tomorrow as well as having been on Buzzcokcs a week ago?! I mean, yay, but that is a lot of David Tennant on TV right now. I wonder why. ;)

Had one too many beers last night, so spent most of the day watching TV in one form or another. Caught up on QI (Sandy Toksvig and John Hodgman for the win), Have I Got News For You and Never Mind the Buzzcocks, then went out to see the All Blacks play the Barbarians at a friend's house. Now, I'm snuggled up on the couch, watched Merlin (please just let Arthur find out already) and just finished catching up on White Collar.

White Collar: Free Fall )

Also, there may have been some Strictly Come Dancing in there as well. I blame my friend who got me into it. It is genuinely quite entertaining, even if you have the grit your teeth through the Bruce Forsythe bits.

And this Radio 4 interview of David Tennant being interviewed by Catherine Tate is hilariously awesome. Oh David, such a geek. <3 (May be a UK only link, not sure, usually the radio programmes are okay).

Enemy at the Gate is reminding me why I had a crush on Joseph Fiennes for so long. Mmm, much more attractive with his real accent and glasses, and he can act. After watching too much FlashForward I needed reminding.

Must actually do things tomorrow. Possibly Christmas shopping that I am avoiding.

Also, have new temp job at least till Christmas. Yayness.

Edit: Totally forgot The Thick Of It was on tonight, but just watched now (love you iPlayer): !!!!!!! )

That was way more than I planned on typing. Somedays, TV is awesome.

Doctor Who: The Doctor's Daughter )

I also went to see Iron Man for the second time tonight. I enjoyed it even more, probably because I knew exactly what to expect from it. It's put me in quite a good mood anyway. Quite chilled and very 'oh, fuck it' towards anything that I happen to be worrying about, which is nice. It will last approximately not-very-long but I shall enjoy it while it lasts.

I may have also caught a Bones ep last night, and oh god the Booth/Brennan at the end was adorable. Smurfs! *cough* I am just watching this show casually.

And while I'm talking about things I'm enjoing. QI, the British celebrity quiz show with Stephen Fry and Alan Davies is awesome. (Particulary great clip). My friend also lent me the first 2 seasons and various Have I Got News For You seasons on DVD. Oh dear. ;)

And uh Doug Feith was on The Daily Show? Holy Fuck. Jon Stewart vs Iraq war architect and "stupidest fucking guy on Earth."(tm Tommy Franks) Need to watch that tonight.

ETA: Very good interview and Doug Feith didn't do to bad a job defending himself/the war. Bill Moyers is on tomorrow too, and Dennis Leary later in the week. Yay.
