can't have an existential crisis without existing

So, everyone who knows me, or at least, I'm pretty sure the first thing they cotton onto when they talk to me for more than ten minutes is that I am a very, very, very, very, very, very, very big Douglas Adams fan.

I can talk about the man's genius and wit for hours, but it's a good thing you all don't love me that much yet.

( cut for your list if i'm on it )

OH MY GOD THIS DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE IT SHOULD BE AND DIRK ABSOLUTELY IS NOT THE RIGHT PERSONALITY TYPE AND RICHARD ISN'T EVEN SCOTTISH.

AND YET IT APPEARS TO HAVE A REALLY COOL SOUNDTRACK

AND STEPHEN MANGAN I FUCKING LOVE THAT GUY I LOVE GREEN WING AND HE LOOKS ADORABLE AND WHEN I INEVITABLY WATCH THIS AND MAYBE MAKE A JOURNAL FROM IT I WILL HATE MYSELF FOREVER.

MY LIFE IS TORMENT.

Day 4 - Your favourite show ever.

It's so hard to say what my favourite show is, because I watch so many shows and they're all really quite amazing so it's hard to say "oh that's my favourite." I was actually going to make a double post with Doctor Who but I changed my mind because Doctor Who has this magical way of annoying me a lot sometimes, but with Pushing Daisies, I just feel happy. I feel warm and lovely and all those things that this show is about, with bright colours and quirky lovable dialogue. I have all these buttons that movies and television shows sometimes press to get me to love them and Pushing Daisies is that one extremely flexible prick from gymnastics class who manages to bend enough to push all of them at once.

( everything we do is a choice. oatmeal or cereal, highway or side streets, kiss her or keep her, we make choices and we live with the consequences. if someone gets hurt along the way we ask for forgiveness, it's the best anyone can do. )

It just... it makes me happy. I love this show. I recommend it like nothing else.

Missed a day! This is going great.


Day 2 - A show that you wish more people were watching.

( join me again next week on this episode of 'let's make no fucking sense when we'll be waxing an owl.' )

So I have been having some serious thinky thinks about Rose and this has been bugging me for a while now, but I want to get it down on here before I explode about it for ten minutes to someone after they push the trigger that sets me off on the idea.

( cut in case you haven't seen JE yet in which case i probably envy you. )

I was going to write a whole review about my thoughts on the episode, but that would take too long and besides it would just have been a reiteration of this conversation.

This conversation contains swearing and Moffat hating and nitpicking and Rose comparisons. Please don't read if you don't like any of that stuff.

( SPOILERS FOR TIME OF THE ANGELS DON'T READ IF YOU'RE GOING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HOW I SPOILED YOU. BY THE WAY SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE. )
