Miscellaneous.

First of all, belated birthdays! Dearest kitmarlowescot2 and thesuthernangel - I hope you both had *fabulous* days, and I wish you all the best in the coming year! ♥

[Self pimp] I posted Chapter 4 of Alien Abduction last week in case someone missed it? Am currently trying to work on the final chapter, and it is eating my head. [/selfpimp] Hope to have it done soon, because...

My parents are arriving next week, and staying for a week and half, and although I love them dearly it makes me want to go hide, because OMG so much sorting out to do before they arrive! /o\

~~~

And I finally managed to watch 3.3 of Being Human, and if you heard some strange dolphin noises that would have been me. *draws HUGE hearts around show* (I will try to write down some thoughts at some point, although it might all just end up as asjkskjdhsksf!)

ETA: Via The Daily Dish (beacuse it made me laugh):

In the case of U.S. policy towards Egypt, the dynamic is well beyond left vs. right. Instead we're seeing (a) those in the U.S. who support the protesters, their calls for sweeping democratic reforms, and Mubarak's ouster; (b) those who support Mubarak and fear his unknown replacement; and (c) those who believe caliphates run by zombie Islamists, the Illuminati, and the Loch Ness Monster are coming to steal your car.

Oh, I still want to catch the original Being Human! Unlike a vast majority of people I know, I actually like the U.S. version - as in, it doesn't suck, and I'll give it a B- because I'm an easy date - but I know the original is going to be that much better.

And that Daily Dish quote? Almost made me snort my coffee. Coming to steal my car? AAAAAAaaaaaa!!!!!

*snrt*

I've no opinion on the US version (having not seen it), but I do love the UK one so, so much. It's partly the characters which are all just... wonderful and so well drawn and acted (and Mitchell and Annie are zomg gorgeous! /shallow), and the fact that the show knows exactly what it's doing, if that makes sense? All the metaphors are very clear and the show doesn't try to be something other than what it is.

I HAD to share...

Remember, you're not paranoid, they really are out to get you!

*nods solemnly and tries not to crack up over your icon*

Best of luck with the parental visit!

I'm loving this season of "Being Human" but I can't think of anything to say about it other than asjkskjdhsks either :)

Thank you. :)

I was a puddle of goo by the end of this one. And I KNOW that they're TOTALLY going to break the pretty, which makes me even more grateful for the snatched moments of happiness...

Thank you. I did have a wonderful birthday. Got a new mp3 player and went to a wonderful cat show last weekend.

Oh that sounds lovely! :)

I find myself loving Being Human more each week. This one was particularly great, but I watched the "coming next week" and it looks to rock too.

I'm not much of a shipper, but they're starting to convince me of Annie & Mitchell. So much pretty!

And poor George. He just wanted to pee!

And this week ended (mostly)well for our heroes, which mean you know it's going go badly for them!

Hee! at the Egypt opinions. I haven't actually heard anyone express anything other than #1, though I'm sure everyone is worried about would/could/might happen next.

*nods a lot* And all the Welshness makes me think that Torchwood is going to show up any moment... :)

I KNOW! Like I said... keyboardsmash.

And poor George. He just wanted to pee!
That was one of the best things ever!!!

I figure Nina and George will probably be OK. The other two not so much...

Yes, it's... worrisome.
