clo_againI hate going to bed earlier in order to get up earlier. I never feel like I've slept as well as I do if I go to bed at 4am and get up at noon. But dissertation -- and creative writing, oh god it was meant to in yesterday and I need to go do that now -- calls.
Hamster met His Tonyness. I'd say I hope they mock him about it on Top Gear but they film Wednesdays and he met him on Thursday, so maybe the timing's off. And they can't do it the week after because this Sunday is the last episode. Sadness. I just hope they do something awesome to make up for the pitiful series run, or at least swear on a Bugatti Veyron that they'll be back in early summer as usual.
I should go wake up some more. Nnggghhh.
edit: Oh and this article sounds too good to be true. Nice, don't get me wrong; I'd love to legally be ablw to watch shows I missed online (except, not after I leave uni because our home internet is crap.) I'll just believe it when I see it happening.
dit: And another one. I'm not going to make much of a comment on the tennis fiasco over the RR format, because I think it speaks for itself. I'm sorry the players had to get caught up in it but I'm glad that, as all the fans said it would, the RR format is coming back to bite the organisers in the ass. You want to make tennis more popular, you don't do it by making it into a new game. All you get then are old fans leaving and if new ones happen to come along, they say "So how does this work?" and promptly leave when the old fans still around go "Um."
Marketing, tennis people. You want to be more popular, look at how football markets itself in this country. And possibly get Roger and Andy to have a fistfight, or Marat to be found sleeping with prostitutes or have Ljubicic arrested for murder, you know? ;) Any publicity is good publicity.
I would have fun organising an ad campaign for tennis, I really would.

Date: 2007-03-06 12:13 pm (UTC)There should be an official system set up to watch shows online. I'd pay for it (not a lot, but I'd definitely pay a small amount per thing I watched, for good quality and easy-to-findness.)
