ooh, temptation beckons like a saucy buxom wench
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

If I only had a brain...
Hee! The London News cuts Prince Harry into quivering shreds. (What is the London News? A tabloid? A political sheet?)
Prince Harry is sensationally stupid. Seriously, the lad is practically retarded, so it’s appropriate to cut him some slack. It’s a small miracle every time he finds his mouth with his cigarette, so the fact that he would put on a Nazi armband and not think – at any point – that this might possibly be a really really wrong thing to do, is perfectly understandable.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
No, it (it being the London News Review, btw) is a magazine which grew out of the (awesome) Friday Thing, which was a weekly email sent by a bunch of journos in London. It was the '00s version of Private Eye back when the Eye was acerbic, funny, antiestablishment and essential (ie 1965). I've yet to meet anyone who actually buys the LNR, but they're good people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'd just like to say that Carnivale keeps on getting better and better.
We just watched eps 4 and 5 last night. Dark stuff. And damn, it all looks so good. Who knew dust storms could look that good?

I loved the first season of Carnivale, but I didn't feel that anything had really been achieved by the end of it. It was almost as if the entire season was the pilot. An astonishingly good pilot, yes, but I'd occassionally like something to actually happen.
Edited because it just occured to me to check when the new series was starting over here, and apparently it started last night. Arse. I may have to engage in some morally dubious downloading.

Always Anti-fascist!
I've only seen, like. one. And I was puzzled. Bad HBO viewer, bad. Would I like it? (And I'm trusting you to keep sideshow humor to a minimum, ok?)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Would I like it?
Depends on your tolerance for Twin Peaks. It's pretty effin' slow and atmospheric. On the plus side - plenty dark. Honestly though? I don't think you'd be into it. It's not as strongly written as the stuff you prefer.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
TOLERANCE for Twin Peaks. Seriously, for me, before Buffy, the only TV show ever to capture me was Twin Peaks!

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Just noticed that Buffy returns to Seven ... on Sunday night at 10:40PM. It's followed by The X Files.
Of course, it will then not be seen for a couple of weeks b/c of the tennis coverage but that's par for the course with commercial TV.

What's to be warned about re Season 4 of Farscape?
By the way, a certain person has been making fun of me on another forum for outing myself as a Farscape fan!
