thegirlwiththemouseyhair1) I wish ties would come into fashion for women. Seriously, I miss getting to wear a school tie, and just love the fancy collar trend that's in right now; I think there's something thematically similar about a tie. They'd be such a fun, cheeky and androgynous way to jazz up a collared shirt, or wear them ironically and hipsterishly with something totally casual. (Also, bow ties. Bow ties are cool. XD)
2) I had a dream about starting to watch Ashes to Ashes (the spinoff of Life on Mars), so I did. The first episode was good - but weird, seeing something that's so similar to Life on Mars yet with a different protagonist and different setting. I also didn't find the music quite as cool or as accessible (I guess my taste in music is literally forty-ish years back; thirty-ish years back = too recent and no good), though it did have some highlights - like that "No More Heroes" song that I totally recognized from Queer as Folk, or the Clash's I Fought the Law as Gene is driving around in his police car. Still getting excited to follow this show. :)
3) Ugh, I have so much to do before the boyfriend comes into town - like pick up the gift card that's part of his Valentine's /birthday gift, pick up some extra food for the two of us including Bridgehead brownies, and tidy up a bit more. Also have an appointment with my thesis supervisor tomorrow and need to remember to go to that. Also also need to go for a blood test, but am sooo scared of needles....
4) Also, I want tea. Want to order more tea from somewhere and really need more tea filters but there's too much damn choice; I can't decide...

Date: 2013-02-16 01:14 am (UTC)Huh, what you had to say about Glee was very interesting. Don't worry about having talked a lot - part of making friends on these sites is sticking through people's nerdy chat. Right. Anyway, I like some of the cover versions of songs that they do on Glee, and considered tuning in as it sounds like a cute premise in some ways. That really sucks about the shoddy writing though, especially if they underdevelop characters or storylines - like having a "very special episode" about the almost suicide of a gay kid yet never referencing that again despite other characters saying they'll support him. Huh.
To be honest, I've been watching a lot of British telly lately, where they seem to do short seasons (like 8-13 episodes a la Life on Mars or Who and Torchwood) and possibly shorter runs but they do them well. What you said about them cranking out lots and lots of Glee episodes with no logical plan or organization or editing sounds like the opposite problem...
