So what's the deal with everyone being grumpy all at once? Seems like it never fails, if one person on my flist had a bad day/week, so did everyone else, and then so did I. Is this like a menstrual thing where we all sync up? Or a psychological thing? Or because it's cold and dreary out for a lot of people? What is going on, and plz to be making it stop. We all deserve some bright, sunshine-y days.

re: SPN last night, I don't have a whole lot of thinky thoughts. I did, but then I forgot them, so maybe more on that later. Next week though HOMG. !!!

I've been watching a lot of British shows lately, and the operative phrase there is a lot. Whoever recommended The Mighty Boosh? You can probably ask for anything you want and I'd be obligated to do it. THAT SHOW IS BRILLIANT. Not only did I get hooked, but I made my siblings watch it and now they're both hooked. I kid you not, they have watched the entire first season at least three times, and the second and third almost as much. My sister ordered a multi-region DVD player just so she could buy the DVDs. (It didn't work, but that's another story.)

So then of course I had to go on a hunt for more Noel Fielding (not that I don't love Julian just as much, but Noel is SO PRETTY with his hair and his clothes and his tiny little self omg) and I discovered The Big Fat Quiz of the Year, and wow. Noel Fielding/Russell Brand may be my new OTP. And Richard Ayoade, hot damn. I thought he was just the crazy shaman from TMB and the geeky guy from The IT Crowd, and then bam, he's the hot funny guy. :D

And The IT Crowd! And Roman's Empire! And Garth Marenghi's Darkplace! And I rewatched a little bit of Green Wing, and thought ok, well. I've been avoiding Doctor Who for long enough, if the British have created the genius comedy shows I've been watching, let's check out the drama.

I'm almost all the way through the second series of the new stuff, and yeah. It's good. It's definitely one of those things that I could see myself falling for hard and fast if I let myself, not least because I actually like the female character on it. Then again, I tend not to fall hard and fast for things I know I won't be involved in fandom for. I don't really know why. And the Doctor Who fandom, just from my limited outside perspective, seems large and loomy and terrifying. Which is the same kind of view I have on bandom, except less scary and more coated with glitter. I had a whole big thing written out about why I want to dive into bandom and why I'm terrified to. It will be re-composed another day, I'm sure.

This is such a surface post, I really want to just gush about how much I love The Mighty Boosh and how unfair it is that even if the live show does come to America, it probably won't come anywhere near me, and how I'm definitely contemplating writing Noel/Russell RPF but it could so easily go wrong. But I would gush for days. DAYS. And there is so much else I need to be doing. So. Instead, I leave you with the following pictures of Noel and Russell and their adorableness.
