I've got a nautical-themed pashmina afghan!

K, so over the past 18 hours or so I've pretty much become obsessed with this. It's a pretty awesome tune which makes it even better.

Everyone should by the Lonely Island album Incredibad. In stores now. Because I say so.

Much love. x

I've just woken up and am hungover, but really quick...

My buddy Chris showed me this, and it's an awesome mashup of the past two posts!

Christian Bale takes David to the dentist

I know I still haven't reviewed David O' Doherty, and you're all on the edge of your seats, but I shall in a bit.

Much love. x

Adam and Joe!

One of my favourite things to listen to every week at the moment is the Adam and Joe show podcast. The show's on BBC Radio 6 on Saturday morning, but I am a student, and by definition too lazy to ever get up for anything ever, so I subscribe to the podcast through iTunes, which is pretty much the whole thing minus music.



I don't know if any of the international readers (I just made it sound like I have tons of readers, ha!) would know who these two gents are. I immediately recognised Adam (Buxton) as he was in Hot Fuzz, but I had to do a little research on Joe (Cornish). They're funny guys, and they pretty much just talk about random stuff the whole show, which I love, plus a thing called 'song wars' where they write songs about any given topic... which are terriff.



Anyway, so my story.....



I guess this is kind of old news... I'm not as up to date as I used to be. But anyway, this audio track has leaked of Christian Bale going on this MASSIVE tyrade while on the set of the new Terminator movie. It's pretty funny to listen to on it's own.



On last week's show Adam and Joe recreated this whole thing on air. But because the BBC has to make sure they don't make any swears and general bad words (like ass, ooooh), they decided to use 'replacement words' instead, and for some reason Adam (playing Bale) elected to employ a west country accent. It may be the funniest thing I've heard all week.



I seriously suggest you subscribe to this podcast, it's pretty 100% wonderful.



Much love. x



P.S. Sorry, I'm becoming a bit of a podcast freak. If you wanna check out another one find 'I Love Movies' by Doug Benson



P.P.S. I'll write tomorrow with reviews of David O Doherty.



P.P.P.S. Sorry, I won't do any more P.S.'s

YouTube WHEEEEEEEE!(kly)

Alright. So YouTube clips. Odds are if you like drugs, the Beatles, and/or androgynous Korean toddlers, you'll like these couple clips... enjoy.

Is this real life?!
Then you can start to make it beh-rer!

Much love. x

"I would love to be able to be a woman. I would love to be able to remember which one of my 12,000 best friends I wasn't speaking to at any one time."

In my room at my uni house, I now have what I've named an "irish wall." There's not much to it at the moment, but it's going to be building fairly rapidly I think. On it so far is the tour poster for Ed Byrne (see previous post) and the tour poster for DYLAN MORAN (in which he looks f-ing gorgeous, by the way).

Seeing him perform last night made me love him even more than I already did, which, to be honest, I didn't think was possible. Seeing his standup on DVD or on YouTube is lovely n' all, but seeing it live is an incredible experience. He's one of the best comedians in the world around today. No joke. AND he looked at me. AND then I fainted (not really, but it was touch and go for a minute).

Next on the live standup list is David O Doherty (another irishman), not amazingly well-known, but very funny nonetheless. I shall have updates on Friday.

Much love. x

"German sounds like typewriters eating tin foil being kicked down a stairs."

I'm going to Oxford this weekend. I'm going to have lovely shopping trips and drinks and fun times. And then on Sunday I'm going to see Dylan Moran perform. Are you jealous? I think you are. I know I would be.
If you refer back to like, my second or third post (ok, I just looked it up, it's the third one I ever did and it's called "What? You exercise in glitter?" from 12 july, 2008) when I wrote about Irish comedians I mentioned that my mother said she was convinced I was going to marry an Irishman. Well, that pretty much all started because of my love and appreciation for this man. If you haven't seen his sitcom Black Books, find it on YouTube now! It'll just make you wanna smoke and drink red wine, allll day long.
His stand up is pretty much amazing as well (hence why I'm going to see him I suppose). I would put up links to that too like I normally do but for some reason YouTube is being a dick. And, why should I always have to do all the work for you? You lazy so-and-so's!! Just kidding, I love you all. But, seriously though, find 'em yourself.

Much love. x

"Isn't that sad? Don't we just hate that? Don't we wish they would just DIE?!"

I think if I created an award (let's call them the sophies), I think I would hand out lifetime achievement awards a lot more frequently than these oscars and golden globes. And it would be for other stuff, too, not just for great directors and great leading actors. Actors who consistently have amazing supporting roles should be honoured too. I think the honoree for the lifetime achievement award in supporting roles at the first annual sophie awards would definitely be Christine Baranski (round of applause, please).
Ever since I saw Mamma Mia! last summer, I have found her randomly hiding out in a lot other interesting films. She's in Chicago, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), The Birdcage, and, of course, Addams Family Values (plus good guest appearances in 3rd Rock from the Sun and Frasier) . It is the last film in which she shines! SHINES I TELL YOU! I love her as the overly-chipper camp counselor who tries to convert Wednesday and Pugsley. See for yourself.

Let me know if you have any suggestions for other amazing supporting actors (I'm thinking Leslie Jordan, just for being Beverley Leslie on Will and Grace).

Much love. x

more ramblings!

K, so the blog is back. I need something to distract myself from my studies. Psh, studies...
Plus, I'm putting the URL on facebook now, so that a few more people might actually read the damn thing.

So, today I'm only gonna put up some random YouTube vids, which I'm gonna make a weekly thing... basically just what I've watched a lot of/favourited over the past week.

Michael Jackson owns a tea shop... in Devon?
Bill Haverchuck is my hero.
Kelly as a sex therapist.
You must be the monopoly guy! (I know this is old, and not amazingly funny, but I love it).
Oh noooooooh!
Good old classic.

Til next time (which will be soon!). Much love. x
