I. I went to Cologne this weekend (I totally had to look up what Keulen is in English). It was nice to be out of the house for a while, even if I didn't love the city that much. It was relaxin thiugh, and I had fun. Only sucky thing about it is that there were like 4 other things happening this weekend that I wanted to do as well.
Still SO JEALOUS of everyone who got to go to Pierrefonds! :(

II. Remember my whiny post about how I suck at studying? Yeah, that didn't improve. I basically didn't study for my last exam and of course I flunked it. I did have a long talk with my mum about my studying method and lack of it, and she took it all pretty well (after a while). So I hope next year will be all better.

III. I'm watching Angel now, but I'm stuck at the end of S3. I'm not really enjoying it that much so I think I'll hold off for a while. I really just wanna get to S5. For, uhm, reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with some blond character that is coming back. Because I am not one of those people. Nope.

IV. I did grow to love BtVS a lot. When I get back from England in two weeks (I'm leaving on Saturday), I think I'll rewatch the episodes I loved and babble about it for a while. I've started to make a top 10 of favourite episodes or I might do the 30 day meme. I just feel like the meme might be a bit much - I don't know if I love it enough to talk about it for a whole month.

V. MERLIN.

- Everyone is so pretty. This is what my comments on the show always come down to, but I can't help it. Katie is ALWAYS gorgeous and she gets to wear all those lovely gowns and billowing capes. Emilia Fox is fierce, Bradley is of course still handsome and that King Cendred person can be in a lot more scenes, okay :D

- Morgana is evil now, we get it. Maybe there is another way to show this than OMG EVIL SMIRKING? The first time, it was a great moment. We did not need the next 20 times.

- I can live with Arthur not finding out about the magic (though I don't have to like it) but can we just have Morgana & Morgause find out already? Or SOMEONE? It's irritating.

- God, I forgot just how unsubtle the subtext is. And when Morgause went all "WHY DO YOU DEFEND ARTHUR? WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU?", just... not that hard to let your mind go places, is it.

- Speaking of subtext - it's canon that Morgause has a thing with Cendred, right? Cause I read people who are 'seeing it' and all that, but I though it's just stated?

- The shirtless!Arthur scenes really annoy me. I like Bradleys chest and back just as much as the next person - possibly more - but it's just so obviously fanservice and I don't like that. Not sure why.

You should just skip to s5 of angel. Season 4 is pretty annoying and miss-able.

I might do that. I dunno, I like it enough to want to know what's happened, but not enough to actually enjoy most of the episodes. Maybe I'll watch a few here and there and just go straight to S5.

I know! I wanted to go to Pierrefonds too! *pouts*

I think I probably agree with everything you said, except maybe the shirtless!Arthur thing. I do find it very obviously fanservice, but I just sit back and enjoy ^^

I don't know what's wrong with me, but when we get the shirtless scenes it always bugs me. When I've stopped staring, obviously :/. I just wish it'd be more subtle. But subtlety really isn't a strong point in this show.

i had no idea Cologne was English for Keulen XD you learn something every day!

i don't want to discourage you from watching more Angel, but s5 isn't all it's cracked up to be. or rather, it's just one giant crack!fest. but you're right, that certain blond character you're not doing it for, does make it worth it XD

THE EVIL MORGANA SMIRKING NEEDS TO GO! there are other ways to show that she's evil, kthxbai show!

Bah, well a crack!fest doesn't sound too bad. I'll probably watch it when I have nothing better to do some day.

And I really love your icon.
