I downloaded Primeval 03x03 a few days ago but just now got around to watching it while I wait for Planet of the Dead to download (part four of six!) and holy crap cakes, when did this show go from "vaguely silly Saturday night dinosaur insanity" to "holy shit, they just did what now give me the next episode immediately or I may die of the waiting"?

Seriously. This show just took a step up. There is a reason I'm bothering to download this while Robin Hood isn't even getting recorded back home; take note BBC. You make have hit everyone's fun and fabulous gaydar-mad dragons-Anthony Head being an awesome tyrant-kinks with Merlin but watch Primeval for tips on how to make a show that forces you to sit up and pay attention.

Yeah. I'm going to bed now, with my buzz totally killed dead. You know what the problem with TV shows is? Actors.

(But in Torchwood's case it's the scriptwriters. Or occasionally the camerawork. Or...

...okay, okay, tangent. I'm just bitter. WATCH ME DOWNLOAD ROBIN HOOD INSTEAD NEXT WEEK ITV...except Jonass is leaving at the end of this series too.

SEE. ACTORS ARE THE PROBLEM. DAMN THEM ALL.)

So I came home from work to to find WIMBLEDON TICKETS. Suddenly this is a Happy Wednesday!

Also don't quote me on this because I have constant paranoia when it comes to being optimistic about seats but- I think we're just to one side of the net in the front row. Entrance D, Row A.This is where D is in the Wimbledon seating plan. And A is the first row. Usually. Right? I won't believe it until we're sitting there. But at the very least we have good seats, even if they aren't front-row-awesome. Which they might be. The only downside is that the Umpire might be in the way and they'll have their backs to us when sitting down but equally they'll be *that close* and many many excellent photo ops in the course of walking to-away from the chairs. And maybe, I don't know. We could sneak out during games and turn the chairs to face us instead of the court and hope they don't notice. They're focusing on their tennis; it's entirely plausible. Ahem.

Please please please, whatever deity out there that I haven't offended yet, make it not rain on June 25th. Please. And please make Roger be on Centre Court. On that day. I'm aware I'm putting conditions in this now but I'll do anything! Okay, nearly anything. Some things. Like, I won't sacrifice a goat but I could be persuaded to sacrifice say, a wasp. Violently, with a newspaper next time one flies into my room. Then everybody wins.

Wimbledon! Wimbledon Wimbledon! *flails* The only downside about the whole trip is that I bought my train tickets yesterday, finally, and for some reason every train down Saturday had three changes and most of them took almost five hours. Which is just stupid when Sunday's trains had one change and took three hours, so I'm going Sunday but that's a day less of having crazy London fun. *sadness* Stupid British rail network. I'm not leaving until almost 4pm Thursday though, so there's four days and Sunday night. Which I'm hoping will have Top Gear. Yay!

Less than a month to go. Dammit. GO QUICKLY.


edit: Of course all this depends on me remembering to pack the tickets to take with me. I command you all - not just kindoftrouble, all of you! if you have any love for my sanity or your own, since I will complain on LJ and IJ at great length for months if I get to Wimbledon and my Centre Court tickets are back in Wales - for the love of smeg, remind me to pack the freaking tickets. June 21st please. Comment, poke me, text me, send me pigeon post, just remind me. Please. I've been known to come back to Wales from university with my wallet and all my cards still in Lancaster. I will almost certainly need reminding and even if I don't, it'll be nice to know I have back-up memories working for me. ^_^

Vue cinema to open in Lancaster.

FINALLY someone decides to cash in on our sad lack of a cinema. Ah. Happiness.

OH MY GOD.

OH MY GOD.

NOW I DED FROM SQUEE.
