Three beasties in a flat in Bristol.

[lillbet]

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

Vengeful!Annie is awesome, isn't she? Plus, it was the George/Nina stuff in the finale that really did it for me, I think.

And wow, your grad school experience must have been a lot fancier than mine, because I mostly just ate Ramen noodles. ;)

Sweet cheese'n'scrod, YUS! It was heartbreaking when Owen rolled right over her (BASTARD!). Ever notice how cute guys become exponentially less cute when they are revealed to be evol? The actor who played Owen was fantastic, because he went from bereaved and adorable to someone you'd want to hit with a rake if you ever saw him on the street.

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. ;)

Tomatoes? That's like an actual vegetable/fruit! OMG, you are fancy. ;)

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!)

Yes, but they were CANNED tomatoes. Last time we were at the farm, my sister was going on about the deliciousness of the canned 'maters. She's just so SO hilarious. Xp (Damn vegetarian skaters.)

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'm a big fan of the canned tomato. Indian cooking requires copious amounts of the stuff, and I don't always have the fresh stuff handy. I've been getting more selective though...I only buy canned organic with no added salt, lol...like that makes all the difference! :)

It's almost like the gray cardi is another character. *lol*

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

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

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

As in knitting them? Wow, color me impressed.

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*

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

This is only my second pair of gloves. I was originally intending to use the yarn for toe socks, and then I realized that would be a hell of a lot of work destroyed way WAY too easily (and if you knit them with heels it's not like you can swap feet if one toe gets holey).

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.

[roh-wyn.livejournal.com]

Oh mitten flap, for sure. If I had gloves with removable fingers, they would be permanently removed (as in lost).

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

But each one would have a little button!

Yeah, that would be amusing in the end, but execution would be a bitch.

[roh-wyn.livejournal.com]

Oh, in that case, scratch what I said before. Tiny buttons ftw. :)

[lillbet.livejournal.com]

Flipping of the glove fingertips and buttoning them down would take so long that by the time I was done I'd want the darn things on again.

Maybe just the thumb...

But, but, but! What about the cute?! Are we not willing to sacrifice practicality for the cute anymore?

The fashion industry cries at this.
