Three beasties in a flat in Bristol.

Okay, saw the last two episodes and WHEW! Annie. My gawd. That was, hands down, the best revenge ever.
Also watched the pilot and Guy Flanagan is growing on me- he so by-Gawd tall that it is frightening, but he's got charm. Bloody YouTube and those 10 minute pieces- very hard to keep everything straight.
So yes. Season 2 needs to start nao, plz.
ETA: Dinner was a can of soup heated in the microwave and pint of Fleur de Sel Haagen Dazs. Not in that order. I feel like I'm back in grad school and it sucks. NEW OVEN NEEDS TO COME NOW. Xp

Date: 2009-04-14 12:14 pm (UTC)I ate a lot of mac'n'cheese with tomatoes and/or tuna in college. Last night's meal of Progresso Hearty Penne and ice cream was just the more upscale version of that. ;)

Date: 2009-04-14 02:12 pm (UTC)One thing I love about Annie is how her clothes keep changing depending on her mood. I wonder if they'll keep that going for the second series (which honestly can't begin soon enough for me!)

Date: 2009-04-14 02:30 pm (UTC)I have, like, six cans of them in my cupboard in various iterations- diced, petite diced, sauce, puree, I'm nuts, you should see the amount of unsalted butter in my fridge, I'm like a crazy cat lady without cats. *lol*
I noticed that too. I was going through the BBC website and reading about the show, and the producers mentioned that Annie wears the same clothes but that they change slightly with her mood as you say- once in awhile she has a hole at the sleeve seams of her gray cardi, in VENGEANCE-mode she's wearing a blousey, more draped version of her sweater, etc. I like that. It's like she's telegraphing her state of mind that way (not that her acting isn't sufficient) and it keeps the outfit from getting stale. It's almost like the gray cardi is another character. *lol*

I can see it now...gray cardi/fingerless gloves pr0n! Uh oh.

Date: 2009-04-14 03:00 pm (UTC)And fingerless gloves/glasses pr0n. But then that's too easy (so is Mitchell/George slash. PLZ, PPL!).
I'm actually working on a pair of fingerless gloves right now. Will post pics when they are done. XD

Date: 2009-04-14 03:10 pm (UTC)I started making myself a scarf a year ago. Somewhere along the way, I messed up and didn't want to go back and unravel everything I'd done. *sads*

Date: 2009-04-14 03:17 pm (UTC)And one has been started and ripped out so many times you'd be reduced to tears. They aren't perfect, but I'm forging ahead this time! FORGE! FORGE! Might finish them this week, in fact!
I can't decide whether to knit a mitten flap to go over the fingers or little removable fingertips, or just leave them fingerless.

Date: 2009-04-14 03:21 am (UTC)Because we have entered the 24/7 thesis writing zone, the cupboard is now full of instant Micro-zap cups of macaroni, soup, etc.
After this experience, I may not be able to poop ever again.

Date: 2009-04-14 12:32 pm (UTC)By the way, next time I make lasagna I'm either inviting you over and dropping off the entire pan. I hate the idea of your brain working off Micro-Zaps. Xp

Date: 2009-04-14 01:07 pm (UTC)And yes, my dad had a nice phase and bought me one! haha. Speaking of which, I need to buy groceries...

Date: 2009-04-14 01:19 pm (UTC)Groceries are good- milk and cereal FTW! I might do the cereal diet myself- there are a few brands that they say you can eat twice a day for two weeks and lose 6 lbs. I figure if I microwave a meal for dinner and have cereal twice a day I'll be golden- BIKINI SEASON COMETH! True, I'll be sick of cereal and ready to throw something, but still golden. XD

Date: 2009-04-14 12:56 pm (UTC)Turner's scenes with Clare Higgins (Josie) were just amazing, though- the way he reminisced with her was lovely, and you could really see how Mitchell was still very much in touch with his/some form of humanity (something that reverberates when Lauren voices her fears that she's losing hers). If I hadn't been watching the episodes slumped in front of my computer I would have enjoyed the episodes more, I think. I hope they release this show on DVD soon (with the pilot, of course)- I would totally pay for the privilege.
Random- I was checking out the actor who played Owen on imdb.com, and did you know he was the voice of Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter video games? It DOES all come back to Rowling! O.o

Date: 2009-04-14 05:20 pm (UTC)Fair enough. It worked for me but then, I found the man insanely attractive in a very unusual way. *lol*
ZOMG HARRY POTTER RULES THE WORLD!

Date: 2009-04-14 06:15 pm (UTC)Yeah, he seemed a little too eldritch and not masculine enough for my tastes, but then I prefer guys whose jeans I can get into... meaning when they aren't wearing them. Still, he is attractive in a way.
ZOMG HARRY POTTER RULES THE WORLD!
IKR? I SAY WE LEAVE OFF WITH KEVIN BACON AND DO 6 DEGREES OF HARRY POTTER.
For example- Another example of the BH/HP connection is our man Russell Tovey. Tovey is in "Being Human", right? Tovey was also in "History Boys" with Richard Griffiths who was in.... HARRY POTTER!

Date: 2009-04-14 12:57 pm (UTC)Yup, still on Megavideo- I figured out that if they cut you off (which they did, MOMENTS before the BIG DRAMA at the end of episode 5!) you wait a few minutes and just refresh the page and push play again and you're good to go.
BTW- just saw on random website that show is coming to BBCA later in the year! YAY! We can watch it on tv!
