Oh, that is it, Supernatural. You and I are just not friends anymore. You can take your two hot Winchesters and Sam and your misleading rumours of homoerotic exploits and get out of my life for good, because I do not like it when I have nightmares when by rights I should be having dreams about monkeys or something else good!

Fortunatly for me, I am the kind of girl who always has one or two irons in the fandom-fire, so I shall console my grief over my breakup with Dean and John by watching the second season of the Wire. And oh my God, Omar is my hero. The tie! And somebody finally putting that piece of shit Levy in his place, hoorah! Personally I was holding out for Rhonda bludgeoning him with a briefcase, but getting smacked down in front of an entire courtroom was so much more awesome. He has inspired me to take up robbing drug dealers for a living. Now, if only I knew where to find a) a shotgun and b) some drug dealers. You may be suprised to learn this information is not listed in the Yellow Pages.

In other news, Rome. I'm not saying it wasn't enjoyable, I'm just saying that the entire show can be summed up as "Ickle Midshipman Blakeney grows up and fucks his sister. But not, apparently, his great-uncle." I do love the whole Pullo/Vorenus thing, though - especially where Vorenus pimps him out to Cleopatra. Even in Ye Olde Tymes, pimping your friends is always good for a laugh.

On a completely unrelated note, I think everyone here should read the Varjak Paw books. Because if there were two things I would say makde the world a better place, it would be more Kung-fu cats and less Will Ferrell. I hate Will Ferrell.

I do, however, still love the Tribe, and especially Bray who has won my heart with his incredible campness. That scene after he finds Spike floating in the hotel pool, and the other Mallrats are like, "Gasp! Ebony!" and he's all, "But don't you think if she had killed him, she'd be bragging about it? Like, 'Don't mess with me!'" and then he actually does the finger-snap head-toss thing like he's Foxxie Love or whatever and oh my God it is just the most hilarious thing ever and I love him.

Anyway, little space-monkeys, I have a box of pastries here that aren't going to eat themselves, and the second season of Battlestar Galactica is calling to me, so farewell!

I'm sorry to come around unasked, but I wanted to know when you'll continue moderating at tower_of_fang or make somebody co-mod to take care of it. There were some good starts, like memorizing certain entries or the layout-vote, but nothing has really continued so far. The community has grwon quite a bit in the past months and it's not only me who's more or less bothered by the un-moderated state in which it now is.
If you don't have the time or motivation, I/we totally accept that, but then I'd ask you for the favour of employing a co-mod (or two).
I already asked you one or two times (minus the post in the community), but sadly, you didn't reply at all.
(see two posts in the community for more rants ^^')
Thank you for attention and once again sorry for stumbling in ^^'

With not having internet access anymore, I really don't have time to run even a fairly quiet community. Therefore if you want to be comoderator, I completely support you. Run free!

[komikron.livejournal.com]

Okay, why not?

Just one more thing: I can see from your journal that you, despite your inet-less, seem to have a few opportunities to come online, so I think it would have been polite if you had written some information-post or so for the community.

A method to this madness?

I now almost understand what that text was about. Almost. By the by, I saw a few episodes of Rome when it was on the tv, back in the day, in a random and haphazard fashion, and didn't feel overally compelled to watch the rest. Perhaps this wouldn't have been the case if I had seen any of the episodes with the (apparently) pimp-tastic Blakeney. My impression was, generally, 'men in togas run around and shout a bit. And in case you're getting bored, here's a random and pointless sex scene'. Can only assume average bbc viewer has attention span of squirrel.

Re: A method to this madness?

So, what, you thought I was just randomly thinking about Blakeney having sex with prostitutes? Because that was Babbington, damn it! Keep your ickle midshipmen straight.

And it wasn't just men in togas running arund shouting. Sometimes they wore army clothes. And sometimes they were naked, but they still ran around and shouted.

Squirrels are awesome.

Supernatural does seem to have a funny way of insinuating itself into your brain - it must have had the stupidest season finale of any TV show I've ever seen - shame on them!

[froodle]

I know! "Oh my God, the two hot Winchesters and Sam are in a car accident! Will they live?!" Uh, well, yes. Because it's going to be a bit difficult making a second season with three dead leading men. Unless it was like, Angel but with Winchesters. That would be okay, I guess.

I remember being stood in Borders slyly reading SFX and seeing an article about the show and being amused that Jensen and Jared were asked about being like Mulder and Scully (the evidence)

[froodle]

I do love how Dean makes up stupid names for them, like Hamill and Ford and that time they were priests and he said they were the guys from KISS.

[imbeiaiel.livejournal.com]

My favourite was when an old guy noticed one time he did that and went "like in Led Zeppelin?!" - Dean's face was a picture

[froodle]

Stop it now, you're making me think that maybe Supernatural isn't all that bad when in fact it is the world of THE DEVIL, ie Corey Haim. How do I know Corey Haim is THE DEVIL? I'll never tell.

[imbeiaiel.livejournal.com]

You're making me try to defend it now which is hurting my brain! You have to like Jensen Ackles if only for the fact that he managed to get away with being in Smallville and having Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman as his mother and maintain some semblance of cool. Not sure how far I could defend him in Supernatural but he is cool and I love the car.

[froodle]

That is true; it's also pretty embarrassing that he is the best actor in Supernatural and he's a Smallville alumni, a show which, despite my on-off relationship with it, is pretty much known for it's lousy actors. Discounting Big Daddy and Lex, obviously.

[imbeiaiel.livejournal.com]

:) Very true. Smallville makes my brain hurt but as episodes I've not seen are on Channel 4 on Sundays I do find myself drawn into it. I loved the episodes with James Marsters in - I still love Spike and it freaked me out hearing him with a different accent and with brown hair - weird.

[froodle]

And the groanworthy "There's no such thing as vampires." You just know the writers thought they were so clever for making him say that line.

[imbeiaiel.livejournal.com]

They're so tongue-in-cheek they might hurt themselves - bad writers can just about get away with stuff like that

[froodle]

I bet they're the kind of people who laugh at their own jokes. The knaves!

[imbeiaiel.livejournal.com]

Shocking! And disturbing too in equal measure
