First day of temp job today. It went pretty well (I have a new database to bond with) and the people are nice. But wow, rush hour tube rides are so much fun. *rolls eyes* I have further reasons to be disgruntled about Clapham having three freaking tube stations.

Vid rec: Crazy in Love by sisabet and Cappy. Merlin/Arthur. Awesome song choice and so much fun.

I saw this A.V Club article on the Best mini-series and made-for-TV movies of the 00's on their Twitter feed and thought to myself 'Gen Kill has to be on this' and not only was it first on the list, but there was ASkars as well! <3

Random brief TV thoughts:

( Merlin: The Witchfinder )


( White Collar: Book of Hours )


( Random Ugly Betty thought - only spoilery till late S4 )


Muse concert on Friday! And new Top Gear and Doctor Who episodes this weekend!

I need to re-do my icons. Oh, yes.

I've been here nearly a month now, it's kinda scary. Job front is about the same, have a phone interview sometime this week and have found a recruitment agency that deals primarily in the work I do, but I'm an impatient person by nature and the waiting is getting to me. I'm also wary about getting out of the house and doing things because that's just spending money, but then if things don't work out, I will really regret not seeing things, so it's a bit of a double edged sword.

Also, despite the above I did go out and see Public Enemies yesterday before it disappeared from UK screens. It was good, and Johnny Depp was awesome, but not amazing over all. I put in on par with 3:10 to Yuma maybe, glad I saw it, but no real desire to see it again for a while.

While I've been here, I've also finished Mad Men Season 2.

( Thoughts )

And I've kind of been dragged into True Blood. Some friends in Wellington were into the books and watched the show, and I've always been a little intrigued, but I must admit, it's Alexander Skarsgård that's really got me to watch it. Mmm, Eric. In fact, to be fair, apart from a few eps at the start, Eric's scenes are the only ones I've watched in their totality. Oops? (Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are fine, but I'm really just not that interested). I've also heard there is very little Godric/Eric out there? What's not to love, fandom?!

I have been watching British TV but it's mostly been things like Top Gear, University Challenge, Friends repeats (lots and lots of Friends repeats), and the panel shows like Mock the Week. However, I am going to a screening of "You've Been Watching," Charlie Brooker's Channel 4 show mocking British TV. I'm going to miss Frankie Boyle, which I'm a little disappointed about, but David Mitchell is going to be on apparently, which should be pretty awesome.

Oh, and uh, British channels have got me interested in Ugly Betty. Daniel Meade especially. Damn you Eric Mabius.

Link of awesome: Daily Show vs Nightly News softball game with Jon and BriWi. Apparently TDS do this every now and then and have previously played TCR and Vanity Fair, but still Jon and BriWi, softball, disparaging chants. Love them. (via thedailyshow).

(I have been very lax cross-posting to DW, must remedy).
