Look at me procrastinate! :)

Firstly, 'Being Human' starts on BBC America tomorrow, and NY Times has a v. good review. Two snippets:

Three young friends share a shabby apartment in Bristol, England, as well as secrets, and those sound like the set-up to a corny joke — a vampire, a ghost and a werewolf walk into a bar. Only in this case the bar is a pub and there is no punch line. [...]

All three characters are highly appealing, but the charm of the show lies in the delicate balance of engrossing drama and disarming humor; the series is not campy or self-conscious, it’s witty in an offhand, understated way.

If you haven't seen this show yet, do NOT miss it, it is EXCELLENT. (And - for the shallow amongst you - the vampire is hot.)

Secondly, An Exploding Cigar We Willingly Smoke, S/B/A done just right. Go indulge! :)

I have Being Human set to record; it looks pretty funny. Is it going to crush all my hopes and dreams? At least, any time soon?

It will fill your heart with joy and happiness (and an appropriate amount of angst, of course), but I can think of no better thing for diverting you post-CoE. It is LOVE! (I *so* need a Mitchell icon...)

I stumbled upon a bunch of clips from the show on YouTube, and I was enthralled. I am going to have to find a way to see this. And the vampire is indeed hot (not that I have a type).

Also, I want it to be next Tuesday now, I have CoE on pre-order, and I am waiting on impatiently.

Yes you must! It really is *delightful*.

He's currently starring in a series about the pre-Raphaelites, which I think I'll watch *entirely* for him...

You poor thing. And I'll be away all of next week, and thus can't join in your squeeing/swearing/whatever.

Well, hopefully you are travelling for happy reasons and will have a safe trip.

Oh we're going to Paris, so... *g* Thanks for the well wishes. :)

I watched Being human mostly on your recommendation-- it rocked like a rocking thing. Totally sucked me in. And Mitchell may be smokin' hot, but it's George that I find most compelling. And I adored Annie's 80s-tastic ghost boyfriend, though I seem to have forgotten his name.

Gilbert! :D (The phrase 'Gilbert fun' is forever etched into my mind. *g*) And I don't think I'd ever be able to pick out a favourite, because I loved them all just for being them... (8 episodes next year, yay!)
