I love love love love love love British shows. I mean, American ones are made 100+ a year and most of them are crap but... British ones are quality. Or at least generally much more enjoyable than American ones because American ones tend to go mostly on clichés while British ones are more reality-based. Or at least that's how I've seen things.

I'm rewatching Life on Mars while introducing my sister to it and it's so much love. Annie/Sam is one of those ships I really love. I can understand the Gene/Sam love, but I'm not a fan of it in that way. I love their friendship and how it really doesn't work most of the time.

I want to see more British shows (I've got my interest peaked) and I've seen Doctor Who, Torchwood, Life on Mars and Skins. Are there any other good shows out there that are worthy of a watch?

Edit: *headdesk* I forgot, I've also seen Hex, Fawlty Towers and Midsomer Murders (I tried Robin Hood but I almost fell asleep when I saw the pilot)

For you who don't know, John Simm has invaded the Doctor Who fandom and made it his own. He couldn't settle with Life on Mars, no, he had to go and be awesome on Doctor Who as well. ...... OMG I HEART HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!! Erhm... Yes, I'm quite sane.

Just to further prove this point, I wanted to tell you how many Doctor Who icons I have on my computer (not counting David Tennant or Billie Piper photoshoot icons etc. but from the actual show): ..... 758!!!! It's actually too little because sometimes I have a huge trouble finding icons to use from my folder but now I've made it a wieee bit easier by putting all the icons in categories based on seasons. Of course 90% of my season three folder is now filled with John Simm. He totally came on and owned everyone.

I wrote a new chapter to my Molly/Micah story (MAN, I should give this series a name because calling it Molly/Micah when there's so much else going on as well would be kinda.. weird. And it's annoying how I have to keep listing 'Molly/Micah' so people know it's that series... So, maybe I should think of a name).

I am totally ignoring my Doctor Who summer ficathon entry right now. IF I CAN'T SEE IT THEN IT'S NOT THERE. *hides eyes and pretends I'm a three year-old*

I've neglected Heroes so much, or so it feels like, but I refuse to "get my groove on" until the last episode of Doctor Who has aired. Why? Because I'm totally Simm-owned. However, he and I haven't fixed the legal papers yet. People seem to be against slavery for some reason...

OTHER HAPPY NEWS (other than me being John Simm's slave...): I've worked my final bit of overtime at work now so I'll start going home at 14.00 (2 PM) like normal now. Yay! No more 16.00 (4 PM)!!!

Happy birthday ujiek and seacolors! I hope you both have awesome ones :D

I just finished Life on Mars and I have one question:

What the fuck?!

I mean, I always thought that I understood what was going on, and I think I still do but... man, it's twisted. ( thoughts )

Welcome comiskey to my flist :D I hope you'll have an awesome time :D

I suddenly felt like doing a Life on Mars/Doctor Who crossover *grins madly* Rose/Sam unite :D Keepin' it in the family and all ;) For those who don't know; their last names are both Tyler, which I somehow find amusing even though it's really ridiculous.

Seriously, I didn't realize how deep Life on Mars had me until now when I can't stop bloody thinking about it (again, I'm adapting Gene's wonderful vocabulary, I don't usually use words like this lol). I need more british shows to watch. All the shows I've watched are quality stuff, or at least quality entertainment. Doctor Who, Skins, Life on Mars, Torchwood (okay, it might be a bit... off but it's still good :P).

Speaking of shows, I tried to watch Hidden Palms but it's just this teenage drama type A. You've got the Marissa character (or Peyton character if you speak One Tree Hill), you've got the Ryan character (Lucas), the Seth character (Mouth), the Lindsay character (Brooke), the Anna character (Brian Greenberg's character's ex) etc. etc. and it makes it sort of predictable. Also, I hate TV that has perfect people on it. People who look perfect tends to have gotten the part based on their talent, maybe, but at least 50% goes into whether or not they are fit for the part, look-wise, which in my opinion is rather messed up, but that's TV these days...

Anyway, Hidden Palms, not a big hit.

Traveler though - FAN-FRICKIN' AMAZING!!!! If you haven't started watching this show, you're seriously missing out. I love it so bad. The actors are fantastic and the plot is actually intriguing. Let me just ask you this: Who is Will Traveler? (besides the obvious answer, Aaron Stanford *g*). Best show on right now.

I've changed my payment plan (or whatever you're supposed to call it) on my cellphone. Before I had Telia Refill (which any living person in Sweden knows costs a fortune and a half) but now I'm changing to Parlino (I got attacked by a salesman at ICA and then well... it sounded smart but it might end up costing me a lot more than what I have now because I rarely use my cellphone). Feel kinda bad about it, now after coming home and well... have time to think and looked up a couple of stuff that the salesman said that was incorrect. I hate the fact that you have to pay 99 SEK every month to keep that payment plan. Sure it's free to Telia, Tele3Conviq, Halebop and all those but... *headdesk* I rarely use 99 SEK in two months as it is now but then again, I might be rarely using my cellphone because it's such a high price now.

Not that it would make much difference. Well, the guy at the store said I could throw away the card if I wanted. Might do that when it's time to pay or something I suppose.

I was at H&M today (I had a weak moment, I had to shop something after my insanity yesterday *g*) and I found two tops. One of them I'm not sure about. Yellow sort of party top, but the other was this white halterneck that was extremely pretty, or at least it looked pretty on me. H&M doesn't exactly have pretty clothes. Or well, some, but in general things that are there are... well, I was about to use Gene's vocabulary again and say shit but that's not really fair considering H&M is Swedish in origin (lol) and well... they do have nice stuff on occasion.

However, I want to find a nice bag to have for school next year. Which they don't got so I have to go on a "city-wide search" next time I'm in town.

I want to buy a digital camera and rant about the things I see in stores... or rather, I just want a digital camera. *nods* I wanna take pictures and I want a video camera so I can make video clips and stuff. It would be hilarious *dreams*

Posted a new Micah/Molly story, along with a header if you want it, here if you haven't seen it already. Or you will have if you keep walking through your flist, I donno.

Now I've babbled enough. I'll go to bed now. Need to get my sleeping pattern in order.
