Hello, hello... Oh for goodness sake. It's twenty past ten! How did that happen? I am not pleased.

There are people talking loudly downstairs. This is most unusual! Normally everyone in this building sits quietly like little mices, weeping softly into the darkness, occasionally getting up the energy to sigh at the kettle. Seriously, it's one of the rules! It's in the contract. Behave like depressed rodent at all times. Do not chew on electric cables. No pets. That's what it says.

So, yeah... So, today in the local paper, some of the people who lived near the murderer now want the 'Murder House' (TM) pulled down. Others want the road renamed, to "something a bit happier". Lovely Road? Absolutely No Murder Or Anything Like That Street? But another resident said she didn't think it was a good idea, because, after all, "it's not the name's fault". Well... no. That's quite true.

Oh! I have thinks to link to. After I broke that bowl the other day, kitchencynic was inspired to create this fabulous community: potsihavebroken. It is, quite simply, a place for you to talk about pots you have broken. Share the pain, people! Share the pain!

Stephen Fry can has a podcast! Stephen Fry's Podgrams. Go, go -- subscribe! He will talk to you about breaking his arm in the Amazon and things, and it will be soothing and moving and funny and random and full of words, and you will love it!

Fandom works quickly. Being Human (wot I mentioned previously) now has some communities, and already they are busy and full to bursting with icons and fic and questions and polls and opinions and... not yet kerfuffles and arguments, but I'm sure that will come. I have diligently joined these communities, and they will no doubt happily clutter up my flist until I get fed up and stop watching them.

So yay for Being Human!

Erm... yeah. Mostly. Unfortunately, as well as being great, it is also (not completely, but in areas such as the concept, scenario, character dynamics and general tone) the novel I have been Not Writing. Sort of. That actually makes me a tiny bit sad. Oh well. As one is Not Writing it anyway, one can't really complain, can one? C'est la vie...

Now, I must away to my bed, because it has become nearly ten to eleven.

When Circe read your post about Being Human to me (yes we are at that sad level of codependency) I was like, O.O did Duckie write that and it took me a while to parse the sentence that you were recommending a tv program.

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

Haha, yep. Quite. I don't think I wrote it, I'd probably have remembered, and hopefully also been paid.

A bit of me wanted it to be really crap, but sadly it was good and enjoyable. Rats!

Ahhaha, I thought that was really funny! :D

Thanks for the link to Stephen Fry's podcast. I'm going to enjoy that very much. ♥

Yay! Happy to be of help. :)

I need a rental agreement like yours. I'm pretty sure mine must say "Behave like a buffoon at all times. Use foghorn to amplify aforementioned buffoonery. No grooming permitted."

Yay Stephen Fry. The world is suddenly a better place.

Yay Stephen Fry. The world is suddenly a better place.

I know! Every single time. :)

Thank you so much for recommending Being Human. I just watched it and loved it. Just imagine if I'd missed it! Please let it be made into a series.

The man who played the vampire was like a cross between Orlando Bloom and Spider Nugent ;)

Oh, I'm really pleased! I thought it was excellent, I'm sure it'll get made.

Did the earth shake in your town???

It totally did here. And Cal felt it in Sheffield. And people in London and everywhere. It's an earthquake! And then aftershocks!!!!!

The Dr Who crowd think that the epicentre is in Cardiff.

I thought I'd had a glass of wine too many! I was round a friend's house, got a bit tipsy and come home and went straight to bed. Then just after one, I woke up and jumped out of bed... because the bed was moving! I turned the light on. I thought I heard people talking downstairs, but I was so confused and half asleep I just assumed it was me and went back to sleep.

Other people are saying they didn't feel it here though. So maybe it was just me... ;)

[lobelia321.livejournal.com]

I thought it was just me! But it wasn't! It truly was an earthquake!!

Wow. We are living life on the tectonic edge.

Stephen Fry FTW! I love him so very much. I should write him a fan letter.

[sheldrake.livejournal.com]

You totally should! I'm sure he'd be genuinely pleased to hear from you. :)
