A fabulous formatted show in which 6 'famous' artists (like Cornelia Parker) demonstrate how they have been influenced by Marcel Duchamp, somehow. 6 x 60 minutes.

Oh, yeah, that's going to really bring the viewers in. After all, Cornelia Parker's practically Sienna Miller these days, in fact I can barely tell them apart. Well done you, random woman sitting opposite me. Have you actually ever watched television? Or do you think it's beneath you?

Oooh "Let's take conceptual artists and make them do life classes". No one's ever come up with that one. I certainly have not heard that from everyone who has ever walked through the department. Not at all.

Yes, it's definitely time to get out of development.

[info]rstevens has been running this competition called Secret Satan, the deal is that if you mention him, or Diesel Sweeties, his awesome web comic, you could win a prize. And I really wasn't going to enter, because - although I love DS - I'm not really the shilling kind. But then today's comic has three absolutely perfect panels, with some of the best writing I've read in a comic. So that pretty much sold me on the idea of posting about it.

DS, alongside Scary Go Round and Questionable Content (by [info]qcjeph ) is one of my daily webcomic reads, and it was the first webcomic I read with any regularity.  In fact it's probably the webcomic that introduced me to the medium, as I think even Cat and Girl came later to me.

And in fact, I'm pretty much in debt to rstevens to introducing me to comics, because beyond the Peanuts collections in the attic, I'd never had much exposure to comics.  So I don't feel so bad about shilling for him!

An astonishing thing has happened.  Well, it might not be astonishing to you, but I was pretty surprised.  The OC got good again.  And I don't just mean that it got average, it got brilliant.  Seriously, it's back to season one levels of wonderfulness.  And I'm so happy, because I was about to give up on it.

It's honestly a tie between The OC and Heroes for my favourite show of the season.  Veronica Mars has been good, but not great (until that last episode, which was amazing).  Gilmore Girls, um, I've got two episodes waiting to be watched, and I just can't bring myself to do it.  I can't really explain why, but I feel like the characters aren't really the people I've liked for so long - Lorelai just seems dumb and Rory seems indecisive.  Ack.

But The OC.... I must have watched this clip twenty times, and Oh. My. God.  I just climbed aboard my first heterosexual ship (Ryan/Taylor <3).

I am such a fourteen-year-old sometimes.  But why have a livejournal if you can't use it to squee.

Me (trying to be tactful): As a geek, I probably wouldn't use Comic Sans for this proposal.
My Boss: Well, as someone who's been [in this industry for a long time], I think it's very readable.
Me: /head asplodes.

Comic. Fucking. Sans.

We're having a bit of a revamp in the office today, and one of my colleagues was asked to move desks.  Her response: "This is the sort of thing that makes me want to leave [insert name of large media corporation here]".  And we're in a hotdesking area.  I almost wish she would leave, but she's the one that has all the ideas...

So, here's how it works:
Open your music player (iPod, iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
Put it on shuffle.
Press play.
For every question type the song that's playing.
When you go to a new question press the next button.
Some songs will fit perfectly. Some songs won't. That's life.

So, one of the things i wanted to do with this LJ was to post about the TV I watch.  I'm never in a million years going to manage to post about every episode of every show, but it would be nice to do it at key moments.  Obviously, the season's just kicking off over in America, and I'm lucky enough to be able to keep up with my favourites thanks to the magic of illegal downloads.  So here's what I think of the first two shows I've watched from the new season...  Oh and they're spoilerific, so don't read them if you're waiting for the shows to air over here.  Also, they're probably not that interesting if you're not interested in the shows.
