More than a month huh

Crazy stuff really especially with all this controversy on British television, Antoine Du Beke using the P word, Dannii Minogue dropping a clanger on X-Factor and Nick Griffin getting time on Question Time oh and don't forget about Jan Moir and that dodgy article she wrote about Stephen Gately.

I had a plenty to say about all those things at the time but not I just feel it is in the past and there are lighter things to speak of no point in kicking off with all that stuff. I will say that the BBC coverage which I tend to see through BBC radio Five Live is starting to wind me up just the way the presenters question people they ask them the question that the interviewee just answered previously. It just promotes that please slap them response within me.

In other news it will be November soon and yes that means I will be trying Nanowrimo again it is a lot of fun. Not sure how far I will get with my heavy WoW schedule to be honest but it will be nice to form a new story and let my imagination run wild.

Twitter - I've been far more regular on that at the moment I fear I am falling for all the hype and it is a nice way to follow celebs though in my case they tend to be Internet Celebs - the best kind if you ask me.

For all you TV peeps Dollhouse starts tonight on IT4 just before Sanctuary's 3rd episode of the new season. Sanctuary is pretty good at the moment not sure where it will go from here but I am eager to see more. Heroes will be on the BBC next year which sucks to be perfectly honest as the viewing figures will be terrible. Most sci-fi fans will opt to watch in other ways instead of being 8 or so episodes behind the US and trying to dodge the Internet spoilers. Of course it must be more expensive then say Sanctuary was to pick up but you have to spend money if you want the ratings.

That is all I care to say for now.

Just some random thoughts

So on my random romp around the Internet I found this and I thought, "Hmm weird but kinda cool". Yup those were my thoughts verbatim I think someone was recording them. So take a look and see what you think.



I found it totally randomly mainly because I was trying to figure out what thing Jaime had mentioned on her Twitter feed. Other than that I just checked out a sxephil show on YouTube which made reference to Christina Hendricks who is a hottie and a redhead which is a bonus for me.

[OTHER NEWS]
Taking an enforced WoW break due to my poor financial planning certainly have no one else to blame. Still it might be for the best if the guild raid today was anything to go buy it all went to hell after half an hour of raiding which is pathetic true it was the first step up from 10 to 25 man TOTC but still we have all done it before on many occaisons so the change over should not have been that hard.

In other news I've been listening to Free Talk Live a lot recently a different view from the normal it is true but often it does make me cringe some of the things that the hosts come out with. Still it is a very popular podcast according to podcast alley.

Guild Issues

So this other shadow priest in the guild has a problem with me because I have the gift of the roll and he can easily out dps me. He does around 4k and I only manage 2.8k at most. Now I'll blame my connection but I know he probably outskills me as well but I am striving to be better and I think post a decent phoneline and connection that our dps will be getting a lot closer. However just because you out DPS someone doesn't mean you should start calling them out about it. If it happens again then I'll call him out no guild is worth taking the abuse.

Other than that I am proud of doing new content (for me) and helping my guild progress. Things are going ok but I so need a decent connection it is untrue.

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" I think the sentiment from a famous movie was somewhat similar. This applying for job after job only to receive the silent rejection. So I have been thinking about education I even grabbed some booklets from The Institute. So what should I do? God knows how I will be able to get the funding for the second time round. Well I guess there is always teaching :)

--------------------
Hmm Watching True Blood Season 2 Episode 6 and just realising how hot Jenny is and it was done tactfully for True Blood just a quick show off of her in her underwear before covering up and getting intercepted by her boyfriend.

So that is about all as I sit here watching BBC News and charging my mobile phone. Wow I know it is all so damn exciting

I feel like making blog to you

World of Warcraft
Fun fun people it is Darkmoon week and here is yours truly trying to farm up mats for Darkmoon cards to give to inscribers. Yes I could try buying cards but I am already up to 6 of 8 Noble cards. To be honest all the gold farming that bought me the initial cards drove me up the wall and now I guess I am less than enthusiastic about playing. Also it seems pretty hard to break into the raid group of my guild at the moment it seems my less rigidly structured schedule is to my detriment.

TV stuff

Star Trek: Voyager
Just watched Critical Care an episode devoted to the Doctor of which there have been a few. This one was interesting though and showed the Doctor to me being as dark as he was during a very early episode when he was with Kes and a quest to get a name and personality resulted in a Jekyll and Hyde condition.


Journeyman
I am glad I took a chance on this when it came to Sky Three I left it alone as a pilot way back when because one, it sounded like a bad Quantum Leap ripoff and QL was one of my favourite TV shows back in the day and two, any fool could see that it wasn’t going to be renewed. Still it is an engaging story and I have enjoyed the show so far but compare it to say Surface or Threshold two shows cancelled well before their time and it can’t hold a candle to them.

Veronica Mars
This show is weird it is pretty much unlike any teen drama I have seen before. I didn’t like Kristen Bell in Heroes all that much but I think that is because her character was written so incredibly badly that no one was going to come out of it well. In Veronica Mars, Kristen’s character is extremely unlikeable but you still watch, yeah the token black character is a little annoying but it seems a shame to me that the show died after 3 seasons when Smallville has been sucky for so long but then I guess Smallville brings a lot of geeks to show like me who won’t stop watching no matter how bad things get.

Other stuff
Well still experiencing the joy of a duff economy i.e. currently unemployed. I find myself more and more wanting to start writing to get warmed up for nanowrimo not sure what story to commit on though I keep wavering. Some of the time I think a fighting story based around a school or college like manga or a more interesting story about a sociopath.

Tell you what though the one thing I can say for sure is I AM SO BORED IN MY LIFE AND I NEED TO MAKE A CHANGE. So sod this I am off to apply for some jobs.

This is an Emergency!

So today was a windy day and that wind resulted in a little accident, I say little but actually it was a big deal, see there was a bit of a split in the frame of my bedroom window the wind today made that a whole lot worse resulting in it ripping from it hinges and plunging to the depths below and now there is a massive mess of broken glass and wood on the ground outside my flat =o(

I shall report it tomorrow and if I remember will do a little spring cleaning beforehand too because of the inspection. Sorry this is a bit brief too many things running through my head to be honest.

[Anyone having all manner of trouble leaving comments on Facebook it has been doing this for at least a couple of weeks]

Anyway let's talk TV.

Checked out the pilot for Caprica had to really feaured one of my favourite actresses Magda Apanowicz and I do hope I spelt that correctly. It was weird unexpected but I liked it and I am interested in seeing more. It was an hour and a half long but it did not have a cliffhanger ending as such which some people criticised but I think it could be good but it isn't BSG.

Also been checking out the current season of Burn Notice it is definitely growing up with the whole Michael and Fi thing being just interesting enough not to annoy the viewer for being to damn sappy.

Jiminy Cricket!

So TV watching is the main subject this time and I will be starting with The Wire. For those that didn't know the BBC are showing seemingly all of The Wire yes all 5 seasons at the rate of 3 episodes a week from beginning to end. At first I was not convinced but it definitely grew on me. I would rate it on a par with the first few seasons of Homicide: Life on the Street. The character base from season to season is huge and it takes a little while to remember names and back stories but once you do it is like an engrossing novel more than a casual TV show. I can't recommend it enough, you might think that it was ultra violent and nothing else but the level of violence is few and far between though intense enough when it happens.

In other TV related bloggings I got my hands on the first three episodes of True Blood. First impressions, well there is a... lot... of... sex and a lot of nudity. Past that though there is a fascinating story of a woman and a vampire. It is based on a book called Southern Vampire I think forgive me or correct me if I am wrong. It also has Vinny from Home and Away yes you heard me right, doing a passable Louisiana accent, well by my ears at least. So check it out if you don't mind the rated R content.

Extra-Bloggular news and addendums:
After an epic History's Strongest Disciple marathon which lasted for several weeks I am now up to date and anxiously waiting next week's fix. HSD or HSDK is a manga all about a young man who learns martial arts and undergoes hellish training to protect the things he cares about. It is one of my top mangas and easily up there with Bleach and Naruto and surpasses them in story structure it doesn't stretch a plot out like a piece of chewed gum as they often do.

Finally I am going to try to get a volunteer position at a popular fan website. Wish me luck.
