Oct. 23rd, 2009 10:44 pmI'm watching Jonathan Ross for the first time in ages because he has Tim Minchin on (naturally, he's the last guest because he's the guest I want to see but I'm not totally averse to watching Boy George and that girl from Gavin and Stacy because I still like to hear a Welsh accent every now and then). On a Minchin note, Wikipedia says his Buzzcocks ep is showing on November 12th. I am excited because there's that and then four days after I go to London for a WEEK OF AWESOME, INCLUDING TENNIS AND JOHN BARROWMAN and then it's back for a bit of a manic Dickensian Festival weekend here in our little backwater, before back to London and then Cardiff AND JOHN BARROWMAN and then London. AND THEN IT'S CHRISTMAS. OH MY GOD.
So basically that Buzzcocks ep kickstarts my epic run to Xmas this year. THANKS TIM MINCHIN. :DDDD
Speaking of Christmas, I was thinking today about all the stuff I need to buy and make and send before December and I started twitching. I have a lot to do this year but after the next couple of weeks life is going to be batshitso I really should get on that. Especially if the postal strikes delay stuff from Amazon any more; they're striking Thursday, Friday and Saturday next week too and as much as I appreciate them avoiding my birthday, I'm still not amused. Sort it out Royal Mail! The majority of my DVDs and books come via the post these days but I'm still too poor to pay for the extra special Amazon delivery. Sigh.
(Oh Jonathan's talking about Wales as if it's a separate country from England. No idea why but I love it when people do that. TECHNICALLY I'M AN IMMIGRANT. :DD)
Oh my god this woman's like sherbert dropped into a can of Sprite. She's insane but oddly adorable. It's hilarious.
Other things that I was thinking about today; the hotel we've booked for Cardiff. I booked it and I was thinking about the price and going "Hm, that was cheap. Wait, did I just book it for one person? THAT'S TOO CHEAP FOR TWO PEOPLE. OH MY GOD I HAVE TO TEXT![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kindoftrouble. AND CALL THE HOTEL. WHERE'S MY EMAIL. OH GOD."
And then I remembered the price was for the room per night, not per person. I even putkindoftrouble's name in as the second guest. Possibly I need a holiday.
Okay I'm fed up of crazy sherbert-fizzy-pop girl now. Bring on the Minchin! (Seriously, Boy George got like two-thirds of the program. I kind of get it but I also kind of hate them for having all the interesting people on IN THE SAME WEEK. They've had crap people on for ages! Damn yous!)
...Except he's singing. All is forgiven!
edit: Tim Minchin and Jamie Cullum sang an adorable piano duet together. Y'all are SO getting Youtubed the moment it goes up because seriously. Your lives need this awesome.
ON A TOTALLY DIFFERENT NOTE. I'm giving up on In Treatment. Officially. I'll keep watching Sophie's episodes on Wednesdays because she's the only 'patient' who doesn't make me want to reach for the chainsaw of natural selection. And that includes the therapist. I'm sad because it started out so well but half an hour a night five days a week is really pushing what I'm willing to dedicate to a show when I find the majority of the characters incredibly irritating. Sigh. It started out so well.
