In which Sky might have a small obsession with the BBC. And Tom Hardy.

[cerulean_sky]

• I downloaded the first two parts of the BBC miniseries The Virgin Queen which has Tom Hardy (Mr. Eames from Inception) in it as Robert Dudley. He is young and adorable and I am enjoying him in the role of my favorite courtier. His accent makes me grin like an idiot. Clearly I should move to England and have many hot English affairs. That, or I should be kept far far away from the country... One of the two.

• Also, why is Tom Hardy so hot. Like... stomach clenching hot. (Why yes, I will be looking for icons of him after I post this.)

• Also, this miniseries has strangely amazing music. I might have to see if I can find it somewhere.

• I make a pretty spectacular sweet tea. It's made of PG Tips (hah, I seem to be on a British theme at the moment) and it's decaf. All hail decaf tea. It makes me so delighted and not ill.

• I'm not pregnant! ...just thought you all should know.

• I am, however, counting down the days til a Blackberry becomes mine. Both of my thumbnails are broken, and this makes using a touch screen phone rather difficult and imprecise. We hates it, we does. Guys, how many of you have Blackberrys? Is Blackberry Messenger at all useful? I've seen like... 8billion commercials for it via Hulu, and it makes me wonder. Mostly it makes me wonder how it's at all different from texting. We'll see.

• Because I am leaning to associate getting a Blackberry with it, I'm thinking of getting my haircut. (Association is only because the place I get my hair cut—just Mastercuts in the mall—is near to the place I'll be getting my new phone.) Actually, since I'm letting my hair grow out to its heart's content—what a strange image—I'm thinking about getting bangs. Like... straight across bangs. Probably modeled somewhat on Leverage's Parker's bangs. Thoughts? Ideas? Criticisms? Comments? Anything at all? I have enough sense not to do this myself, at least. Y'all ought to be thankful for that. My hair grows so fast—I swear the long face-frame-bangs I got sometime before June 20th (journals are so useful for keeping track of dates) have grown an inch. I got them cut to just below my cheekbones, and they reach my chin now. So... if I totally hate having straight bangs, at least they'll grow out fast? Hah.

• I miss NYC. And my friends who are there.

• Between writing the beginning of this post and now I have downloaded the soundtrack to The Virgin Queen. It's really beautiful.

• Ever notice that the BBC has some of the most amazing TV? It has not escaped my notice that I really like a whole lot of the things that they make. Maybe I should see about getting IT ALL. (Laugh with me.)

• Time to go exercise and then sleep. (And by that I really mean watch the next part of this miniseries and then exercise and sleep.)

Have you watched Doctor Who/Torchwood? If not, do so immediately. If you have, OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO CHAT ABOUT THIS SHIT. NOW.

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

I've watched all of Torchwood and all of Nine's seasons and... probably bout half of Ten's. I have most of it though, it's just a question of putting my butt down and watching.

[anoyo.livejournal.com]

I love Nine. A lot. And Torchwood. More than a lot. Just, like, ABSOLUTE LOVE. Yes. ♥♥♥ Also: WHAT ARE YOU DOING MONDAY.

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

Nothing, I guess? I'm off that day. WHY?

[anoyo.livejournal.com]

I AM ALSO OFF THAT DAY. I just need to go in to the law school book store to buy my books, and then I HAVE THE DAY OFF. AND TUESDAY (well, okay, one of those days I need to get my hair done, but that's probably Tuesday). I need to do a lot of writing, BUT WHILE I AM WRITING, WE CAN FLAIL AND CREATE? AND, YOU KNOW, WRITE. WHILE I AM WRITING ANYWAY. OF COURSE. LEGIIIIIIIIT.

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me! I only work a half day on Tuesday, so maybe we can plot some then, too.

[anoyo.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! Epic. ARGH, they need to post my Legal Writing class information. NOW. I want it. A lot. Darnit. *pouts*

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

Rofl. Good luck.

[anoyo.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeeeeeeah. I'm starting to panic a bit. Just a bit. You know. What with the $1K of textbooks taking up a GIGANTIC SHELF OH DEAR GOD. O_______O

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

$1k?!? WTF. That's ridiculous.

[anoyo.livejournal.com]

For ONE SEMESTER, I have 1K of textbooks. More than 1K, actually. I bought three of them prior to this trip, and this trip will be 1K. YEAH. And those three were used, and would have been 250 new. YEP. Law school = meat tenderizer to the head that will BREAK YOU. Yeah.

[masteroftrouble.livejournal.com]

I <3 Parker~ (I'm so full of input XD)

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

Rofl, she's my fave. Her and Hardisan are ADORABLE.

[masteroftrouble.livejournal.com]

I need to get Season 2 (and 3) and watch it. I've so far only been able to see S1 (and while the roommates will watch it whenever it's on TV, I plug in my headphones because I'm weird and don't like to watch things out of order).

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

I'm behind on S2 and S3. I've watched bits and pieces of both. (WHOOPS.) But I'll catch up when I make enough room on my computer to download the seasons.

[masteroftrouble.livejournal.com]

I had S1 on Netflix (thankfully), but they haven't put S2 out on instant watch yet. And I hate having to get one DVD of it in at a time. Maybe I'll suck it up and just buy the DVDs...

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

You can watch some eps on TNT.com (or whatever the site is). That's how I was going about it for a while.

[masteroftrouble.livejournal.com]

Last time I checked, they don't have the beginning of S2, though.

I am patient. :) I can wait until my birthday when I whine and beg for the DVDs XD

This NYC friend misses you, too.

Being not pregnant is good.

Mary Elizabeth Winstead in Scott Pilgrim reminds me of you. A lot. It's distracting to watch the trailers.

The bangs would look lovely on you!

[cerulean-sky.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I SWEAR I WILL HAVE WRITING FOR YOU SOON. *shameface*

I am SO HAPPY not to have to have that conversation with a certain someone. SO HAPPY.

She's cute! I haven't seen the movie yet, but I definitely will have to. (Also, she has cute bangs (http://www.mymaryelizabethwinstead.com/pic/20080512/mary_elizabeth_winstead_-_ocean_drive_-_2006/mary_elizabeth_winstead_ocean_drive_20080512_01.jpg)! Maybe I will take this picture with me to the salon.)

ETA: OH. She plays Bruce Willis's daughter in the most recent Die Hard! That's why she looks familiar without pink hair!
