I suppose it could be worse.

Did I ever mention the longing for new shoes? In my soul. That one. A sad longing for shoes, because expensive shoes are somehow more attractive than others. ( An illustrative example from about a week ago. )

Also, dude, what? I even like these.

Saw Clerks 2 last night, finally. We ♥ Kevin Smith. So does Brother Windows, although I think his buddy (who hadn't seen a single Kevin Smith film before!) was less impressed. I've reflected a little, and I think it's a good thing the gayness in those movies is so sweet and funny and, generally speaking, already satisfying - because there's very little on offer in the way of fandom out there. Although julad's Clerks piece from last yuletide was exemplary.

Life On Mars, gayness of/marriedness in

I liked the beginning of this season of Life on Mars even more than I liked the beginning of the last. OMG, seriously. Aside from moments in which I test wax's patience to the utmost, no doubt, by yelling things like "Hello! Stop acting crazy!" at the screen, I probably enjoy myself as much as during other top favourite shows that fill me with squee, like Garcia/Morgan scenes in Criminal Minds or Miniature Killer scenes in CSI. And I also probably have little spasms of cuteness-induced giggling more often - it's John Simm's little babyface, and giant ears, and sad moping expressions: irresistable! But I'm wondering whether my memory of last season is somehow skewed, because ( this season [brief spoilers]. )

I had a poll here, which I don't think can really be construed as spoilery unless the mere fact that other people are writing slash about a show is a spoiler to you, in which case I greatly fear you will have been spoiled already. Of course it could be spoilery if you looked at the results, but that only happens once you have already filled a poll out, so the danger is small. But wax gave me censuring and austere looks and kind of insisted so I have to cut it but ( you should definitely, absolutely, please take my Life On Mars, Gayness Of Series 2 Poll. )
