I love how Dylan Moran in How Do You Want Me is - while slightly less bitter and a lot more pathetic - essentially Bernard Black. If I ever write that Black Books fic there needs to be a line about his daft wanker of a cousin who moved to the country.

The Moran aside, this show's main redeeming feature is how mindlessly easy it is to watch, which when I am this brain dead is excellent. It's why I bought it; I've been through Futurama and The Lakes and Life on Mars, so for the next week I want sweet, mindless comedy with chickens and things. This show has lots of chickens. It's like they think that's the only animal that exists in the country. Or maybe they're just working their way up to the finale, where they'll have a cow.

I do like this show, it's just so easy to mock. ^_^

...OH MY GOD IT'S MARC-FREAKING-WARREN. HOW HE IS IN EVERYTHING I WATCH. HOW. I demand to know how he manages to stalk my television crushes all the time. John Simm, there was Marc Warren. Who else was there? David Tennant, THERE IS MARC WARREN. Oh and more John Simm, MORE RANDOM MARC WARREN. And you know, he's in other stuff where I am not expecting him too. I seem to inadvertently buy things because they have other people in and then I get Marc Warren as a bonus. Mmmm. There is no downside that I can see.

Wait. Back on topic since the laptop is running out of battery. I was originally going to bring up the topic of Dylan Moran to say that a woman brought a baby in to work today and the following conversation ensued (I kid you freaking not) with me listening from reception:

Co-worker: Awwwww, so what's his name?
Mother: Dylan.
Me: ...
Co-worker: That's lovely! A proper Welsh name. Dylan Moran?
Me: ... *stares at the computer and wonders if she's finally taken that last step to insanity*
Mother: Dylan Morgan.
Co-worker: Awwwww.
Me: ...Because I did not have enough to confuse me already this week.

Seriously. It's like the universe is trying to pysch me out. Goddamit.

I want to ramble some more but woefully! the laptop battery is gone. I may go get the plug or I may go make the cake I was meant to make hours ago. Both involve moving. I may just sleep on the sofa because as previously mentioned, brain dead. But the heating's gone off and I'm cold and, and, and, dilemma. Decisions.

Today I called in dead sick to work because I was, well, sick. Until late afternoon anyway, by which point I'd slept it off and was starting to feel a little foolish over the whole crying-on-the-phone-to-my-assistant-manager thing. Yeah, I really hate being ill.

However all is now fine, clearly demonstrated by my idle plans of perhaps shopping tomorrow. I've clearly been working too long because I'm all twitching over the idea of doing nothing for the third day in a row. Would've liked to hit the sales properly Saturday, pick up some new DCs since Waterstone's has worn my old ones out but no, the parentals are going to help the brother. For the third Saturday in a row. Seriously, new DCs cannot be bought if I have no transport to shops. This makes me bitter.

*sulks*

Also, nowhere is reducing series three of BSG in the sales and plus, I just realised last night that I could've bought the first three seasons and the mini-series for the price they're charging just for the third alone, by buying the combined box set to start with. It would've be helpful to realise this before I went and bought the first two seasons already. We are not amused.

However, fellow temp told me through my self-pitying wailing when I called in this morning that she'd put aside an illustrated Life of Pi for me, because they're only £4.99 instead of £25 right now. AM awesome pleased, or will be when I have that and my collected hardback of Winnie the Pooh in hand. Which I could have if I get my ass in gear to go shopping tomorrow. That would probably mean sleeping should happen soon.

Marc Warren looked a little like his age in Ballet Shoes tonight. Sadness. :(

*Why* would you cheat on Marc Warren? The mind, it does boggle.

However, pretty men doing naughty things makes perfect sense. Mmmmm. Even if one of them is an utter dickhead.

Even listening to the theme from Doomsday makes me depressed. I bitched about them casting Billie Piper in the beginning. I believe I ranted on how they'd ruined the show before they'd even started and no, I wasn't going to make judgments before seeing it but still, they'd killed my enthusiasm for it, damn them.

And then I loved her, which just goes to show you should never open your mouth and stick your foot in based on an ill-advised teenage pop career. The New Girl Whose Name I've Forgotten And Feel Kind Of Bad About It doesn't have that teenage WTFuckery to overcome at least, but it's still hard to remember no, Doctor Who is not and should never, ever be about Billie Piper.

Still. The music makes me depressed. ...shutup.

Page 300 of DaVinci Code. The brain, it melts! Got through an entire one scene of aMSN'sD before falling asleep on the page. Go me. Now in quest of cheeseburger (first Cheeseburger Thursday of the New year!) and thinking I'll watch my third episode of Hustle today with it. Marc Warren may've been bizarre in 'Who but I'd forgotten how much I do love his mad hyperactivity in Hustle.

Kermit is in a strop over me taking out his old too-small hidey-hole in the skull to make room for a new, big one of two barrels and fake!rocks by refusing to hide in them. Ungrateful little loach.

Cheeseburger. Yes.
