Also, I want a Fitz.
Just suddenly realized that in my head, I am totally overlaying the Eighth Doctor and Fitz Kreiner with Stephen Fry and Alan Davies. Or possibly vice versa.
So... I just watched the last two episodes of Haven...
Also DANIEL CRAIG'S STUPID FACE.
Just a quick public service announcement (sans guitars) for anyone who enjoyed Q in Skyfall: you need to watch The Hour, like, NOW. Because he is JUST THAT ADORABLE in it, and also bonus Jimmy McNulty! And also also, one of the best female TV characters EVER. Actually, two, because Lix. I want to be Bel now; I want to be Lix when I grow up.
And hey! series two starts this week! PERFECT TIMING.

Well, he is a Time Lord...
Ahahaha oh the Eighth Doctor Adventures.
From The Shadows of Avalon, which, I should point out, was published in 2000:
'My tribe, the primitive fools, have made a bargain with those that rule the land of Britain in your dimension in your year of--' he made a quick calculation--'2012. Those rulers are weak and mean of heart.'
Fitz looked to Compassion again. 'You were there. Is that true?'
Compassion thought for a moment. 'Everybody seemed to think they were. But it wasn't a military state or a dictatorship.'
'Doesn’t have to be for big stuff to be going down.'
I have no comment on the matter.

Also, dinosaurs.
New Doctor Who = MITCHELL AND WEBB IN SPAAAAACE.
UH-MAZING.
P.S. I LOVE RORY SO FUCKING MUCH. His hairstyling decisions, a little less so.
Yep, that's pretty much all I got.

Having spent the weekend watching, like, all of Community-- some of it even in order!-- I only have one question: why is there not, like, a whole genre of fic in which bad things happen to Jeff? 'Cause that shit is HILARIOUS. I would read that ALL THE TIME. Alternatively, where's the fic where he likes being beaten by a girl?
Basically I really like Joel McHale's stupid face and I want people to punch it. Is that so wrong?
P.S. HEY THERE PEARCE FROM BURN NOTICE. HEY.
P.P.S. John Oliver gives me a happy.
P.P.P.S. Is it weird that I love Britta and think she's kind of awesome? Even if she is the opposite of Batman?

HELP I CAN'T DECIDE.
So hey you guys! If I have these two yarns:
One; alternate view (except without the sky blue)
Two (actually a bit more coppery, but that's as close as I can find)
and these two patterns:
One
Two
which one should go with which? With the Wrought Iron pattern I'm looking for a gold filigree-ish sort of look, and with the Branching Off I'm looking for something more nature-y, and I feel like both yarns could go either way but I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY IS BEST.
I'M HAVING A SOCK EMERGENCY HERE.
(Also, hi. I kinda suck at this whole LJ thing. BUT HEY THERE.)

I'm slow, but I get there. Eventually.
So I finally started watching Game of Thrones this week. Curse you 
aneli8!-- except not really, because I totally needed a new thing to watch anyway. And so far as I can tell, it's basically like Rome, but with the added bonus that they can just make shit up even more. And it's got Ashley from Sirens, so hey, bonus!
I've only seen the first three episodes so far, and I'm trying to hold off till the weekend so I can really get my marathon on. The problem I'm having now is I really want to get to the episodes with Jaqen, because I love the actor and what I've read about the character so far kinda cracks me up. (Oh, I am totally spoiling the hell out of myself. It's the only way I'll be able to cope.) Except when that happens I'll be halfway through the series already.
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS, PARTY OF ME.
But hey, so that's my new thing. Also, I'm going in for another sleep study next week, this time hooked up to a CPAP machine to see if it's worth getting one of my very own. Other people who've used them, what are they like to travel with?
OH AND ALSO speaking of travel! I get to see Murder By Death after all! In DC, with my best friend from high school, the night before my mom and I fly to Aruba! MOTHERFUCKING WIN.

Boston-area folks
I have a ticket for Murder By Death at the Paradise on Saturday, July 14 that I am sadly unable to use. Anyone want it?
I paid $20 for it, and ideally I would like that back, but if, say, that $20 would be the difference between someone being able to go or not, then that's fine. I'd rather it just go to someone who wants it.
Also, hi. I'm still here, mostly.

Angry muppet face.
Oh hell motherfuckers canceled The Finder.
I mean, having said that, I can't think of any way they could have come back from that finale without a) MASSIVELY restructuring the show or b) totally cheapening everything that happened.
But. Just. ISABEL. WALTER. WILLA.
I honestly didn't expect to end up loving this show as much as I did. Just in time for them to take it away. Why can't I have nice things?
