let's go out late, drink a lot

I. Obligatory YAY FANDOM MARCH MADNESS IS COMING post!



I'm not sure who I'll be backing this year, I'll see how the first rounds go. As long as it's a lady I'm probably okay. Or if we have to have a dude, not Sherlock or Sheldon or Eleven. And that basically comes down to PLEASE LET IT BE A LADY again because those are probably the top three.
Last year I campaigned for Veronica Mars, who did REALLY WELL but I've a feeling this isn't her year. I shall see who takes the lead for Game of Thrones - I doubt it'll be Sansa :/ Maybe Dany though? Or Arya. I'll even support Jaime or Tyrion. There seems to be a pretty big campaign going fo Leslie Knope and I'm willing to go with that too :)

I'm so excited!!

II. I marathoned Cougar Town and I LOVE IT. It's filled the sitcoms-about-friends-hanging-out hole left by HIMYM. It is so much more awesome than that show that I'm kind of pissed I stuck with it for so long when I could have been watching this.

It does make me crave red wine a lot.
And it gives me waaaaaaaaay too many feelings for a silly sitcom. Seriously. They all just love each other so much :'( I want a cul-de-sac crew of my own.

III. I'm trying to force myself to get it together and be productive so I made a bunch of rules - I'm not checking my Tumblr dash all the time, just my favourite blogs, I'm not reading fanfic, etc. It's not working as well as it could (see watching the whole of Cougar Town) but I AM reading more so that's always a plus. I always read a biography-type book and a novel at the same time and right now it's Young Romantics by Daisy Hay - which is honestly a bit disappointing because she keeps discussing boring people instead of lolling at Byron which surely is the main point of the Romantics. I'm also struggling through Great Expectations because I felt like giving Dickens another chance. I would love this book if it was about Miss Havisham and Estella (mainly Estella) and Pip was a side character, but I do not care about his money issues and all the whacky people he meets. Shut up, Pip.

IV. NEW GOT SEASON 2 TRAILER, WHOOOOOO!. I am SO EXCITED about this season!! But seriously, how many trailers can they possibly release?

Cougar Town is so worth marathoning ;)

It's, in my experience, impossible not to marathon because I just kept wanting more. ;)

i've been around Livejournal for 5 years now, and i still don't have a clue what March Madness is /late to the party? (not that that's unusual *g*)

It's an extremely silly and extremely addictive popularity contest for tv characters. You vote for the best character from a certain show and then they are put against each other until one wins. In the comments, people try to convince others to vote for their favourite with gifs and arguments. It gets quite mad once everyone has decided they want this or that person to win. :P

The Great Lesson I learned in my second Slavery in Nineteenth Century Literature class: Dickens was a dick. SO FUCK HIM!

*clears throat*

ANYWAY! I think I've only seen the first season of Cougar Town, or maybe only parts of it, but the things that I did manage to catch were really good! :D So I can totally understand you: they do love each other so much! Especially Elli (sp?) and her husband, they're so fabulous!

"I love it! It's like we're in prison!" I MEAN COME ON :p

I'm not really all that invested in Fandom March Maddness. I've never really participated, maybe I will this year :p

Yeah, I know he was a dick :P But I was really intrigued by Miss Havisham as a figure and thought I should give this one a try. And it's really a great story, he just has all the wrong priorities.

Ellie and Andy are the greatest! I love how functional they are as a couple despite all their crazyness :D And they have the greatest little sweet moments :D
