Just had a quick phonecall from my lover [sigh] Any contact makes us miss each other, but so lovely to hear each others' voice... I told him I'd been blogging about him (Stuff on DT)and had little chat. Not much news as we were together yesterday, just nice to talk...

Note for pedants/advice please - Is it others' or other's voice? Can't make up my mind whether each other is singular or plural....

Nutshell's blog and ideas has set me off on my own little diversion. The idea of reading the Radio Times instead of watching the TV amused me and echoed my own experience. Yesterday I was in the pub and my friend and I spent ages discussing 'Shameless'. I've never seen it and he caught about ten minutes of it while in a hotel bedroom at a conference! I knew background stuff from RT and TV crits. He'd assumed it would be another drama patronising the working class/underclass so had avoided it deliberately. We both decided it was probably worth watching but neither of us would, as we didn't want to get hooked into another TV programme!
We then got onto 'The Sopranos' which I watched avidly from the beginning, but stopped after series two as I was having a TV-free period. He started watching when first series was repeated and has been following ever since. We decided that Adrianna(not sure of spelling) was 'best-ever throwing up scene' award contender.

I've read RT and thought of lots of progs I might watch - or not - today. The're doing something on exercising your brain which sounds interesting despite populist slant. Then there's 'Mickey Blue Eyes' which sounds fun. There's also a couple of tribute reruns featuring Linda Smith and I loved her wit and humour. And I've always meant to watch 'Get Shorty' and 'To Catch a Thief'; and 'The Breakfast Club' would be interesting to revisit, and then there's Mark Steel....

I've decided these 'Will I/Won't I' dithers are like perusing catalogues and window shopping - Quite fun and somehow as pleasurable and less effort than the real thing!

I just love this!

I am the one, the open, the original, the passive - Polly Garter! Except of course there was the one Dylan Thomas invented with the babies, dead Little Willie and inappropriate footwear... Still, I love my wordcloud.
