clo_againI spent two hours of my night sleeping because I literally had no energy to do anything else - and now that I need to go to bed, I'm properly awake. Sigh. Not that I'll have trouble sleeping because I sometimes wonder if I couldn't sleep through the Apocalypse but why couldn't I be awake earlier? I was too tired to even watch a DVD. Hmpf.
I knew there was a reason I'd been putting off buying Clerks and I guess this was it. Not that I have any money to buy that either - was a little floored by the price of postage today. If I had a first-born I would've sold them by now - but I'll stick it on the list. I've just caught the last ten minutes of Clerks II, finally, and it was actually funny. Even with Kevin Smith I was dubious about a sequel but no, I eat my words. So that's something else. I just wish I'd splashed out on that pretty, pretty special edition of Dogma which it doesn't look like I can get anymore. Dammit. I should pick up the pretty special edition Dark Crystal before my procrastinating makes it too late for that too.
Oh right, no money. But sometime I will buy all these things.

kindoftrouble, did you know they have loads of the fun ducks on Amazon? I'm particularly fond of this one but this smiley faced one is also full of lulz.

I was so busy being useless over the weekend that I forgot to shout about David Tennant on Trick or Treat. It was really really really awesome and as for the girl who had David Tennant bouncing up to her on the street going "Can I read your mind?", so much envy. David Tennant and Derren Brown all at once! I would be flailing incoherently on the floor, which is why it's a good thing I am not on television. I can't see how flinging myself at Derren and clinging to his knees while whimpering over how awesome he is (while also, no doubt, fighting off Security) could make a good first impression. It's probably for the best that I stick with this side of the TV screen.
Still. The Tennant and Derren. I couldn't speak for fifteen minutes after The Barrowman; it'd be a week with those two together.
But anyway; DAVID TENNANT ON TRICK OR TREAT = EXCELLENT. It's bound to be repeated or be on Four On Demand (teh interweb informs me that it's repeated on Channel 4 at 11pm this Thursday) I command you to watch it, even if you've never heard of Derren Brown in your life, or only from me ranting on about him with slightly creepy levels of enthusiasm. Awesome awesome awesome.

I think it was fair that Niamh went off I'd Do Anything this week. I winced through her singing Don't Speak, which I love. That said, Samantha irritates me more every Saturday; she always seems a little outside on the group hugs, as if everyone else is a bit dubious about her too, and I've seen her smiling more than once when singing people off the show. Also her and Rachel seem to have something going on; every week when they ask them who isn't Nancy, they say each other. I still find Rachel a little dull but I'm with her all the way over Samantha. She at least comes across as a nice person; Sam, I'm not so sure. No one who smiles that much is natural.
Is it on next week around Eurovision? (don't get me started on Doctor Who being moved back a week to make room for freaking Eurovision of all things; the only reason it's worth watching these days is for Wogan's sarcastic commentary and they replaced Doctor Who with it, bah). I can't see them skipping it for a week.
'Who was better this week though. Apart from GIANT FREAKING WASP I enjoyed it (though WHY A WASP? I already have a complex about them, honestly). I got quite excited about the trailer for the next episode because it looks like it could be really fantastic if done well. All the more annoying that we have to wait an extra week but I guess I'll be coming back from Hay Saturday anyway so there were worse weekends for it.
Have to go to bed now. -_- I only came up to check song lyrics and that was an hour ago. I wanted to watch TV for a while but no, I don't have time to watch TV or read or even think so much, anymore. I would love to introduce whoever invented the five day working week to a blunt object, preferably at some speed. No one can have a life around this. It's ridiculous.
Sigh. Bed then.

Date: 2008-05-20 10:29 am (UTC)Niamh ruined Don't Speak. I had no words for her after that. I like Rachel a lot more now that the judges aren't singing her praises every week because that was tedious. I don't like Sam either but think she might win and I think it will be doomed if she does because she can't sing that well.
