What is this "compromise" you speak of?

I really, really love The Thick of It

Really love it.

I just watched the first two seasons and...

Wow.

(My brother told me to lay off it just before Christmas guests came, because apparently I swear 150% more in the hour following any exposure to that show)

Is there fic for this, somewhere? I mean, there has to be. Seriously. Not least because Malcolm is a crazy electric storm of sexual tension, but because Olly is such an adorable little bastard ("Shagging your way to the top?" "I'm not Scottish, I've got to get there somehow.") and the pinning against walls I mean come on

... and even better, the movie is coming soon and has Tom Hollander in it. I adore Tom Hollander.

The new Muse album isn't out yet, but I found free streaming of the whole thing here and it is making me VERY HAPPY INDEED.

SO AWESOME. POWER PIANO. OPERATIC INTERLUDES. GENERAL MUSIC EPICNESS OF MIND BLOWING PROPORTIONS.

(I'm sort of a fan, and I kind of like it.)

I think I shall go listen to it again.

Ran across two things on the internet today that renewed my faith in awesome, which had been rather weakened by recent crappiness in my life which, while being annoying, are also pretty dull so no need to detail them. First one is evidence of Tim Burton once again playing the mad genius. HOW COOL IS THIS MAN? Very very cool. Yep. Plus, the man has a gorgeous wife and even more gorgeous boyfriend who both let him make them up into weird and wonderful, practically unrecognisable pieces of art. (and apart from Helena Bonham-Carter and Johnny Depp, the film has Anne Hathaway, Matt Lucas, Michael Sheen, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry and Noah Taylor. COULD IT GET ANY BETTER? ONLY IF NOEL FIELDING AND JULIAN BARRAT POPPED UP.)





And then I found the most adorable interview with John Oliver and Rory Albanese after some stand-up gig they did at a college somewhere. There are, of course, some content issues. And I'm very responsible...

Warning: these videos contain John Oliver. The level of irresistable of this man may offend some viewers. It also contains John and Rory bickering, John and Rory flirting, a detailed discussion on whether John may or may not be a virgin, Rory apparently unwittingly insulting the interviewer a lot, Jon Stewart hero worship, bagging Demetri Martin and John adorably trying to play down the fact that he went to Cambridge.

Just watch them.

This is how I feel about swine flu, with the notable exception that, for me, the crisis of today is the joke of today too. You may as well die laughing. And if you don't die, bonus. (Also, exams are coming up, and I haven't started studying because that would entail acknowledging reality. Which I prefer not to do when I can help it. So swine flu, come on in. It's warm and inviting in my lungs.)

And here are 25 things about me that are absolutely, definitely, indubitably and 100% true. For a given value of 'true'. Becausehuntingsnarks , she tags like a ninja.

Well, if that proved anything it proved I can rant more than is strictly desirable. And I didn't say it, but I think you're all pretty damn awesome... if you have any questions about my ridiculously mundane existence, I will endeavour to answer them in my usual style, which is to say I will sacrifice dignity for truth, and I will sacrifice truth for humour.

Because that is how I roll.

Or just comment to tell me I'm a wanker. That's a pretty fair call, really.

EDIT: This is so, so good. It's funny because it's true.

I has new mood theme *bounces* God I love Alan Davies. And cos I promised:
