penny: "what kind of beer?"

reading: please kill me - the uncensored oral history of punk
to read: mort - terry pratchett+do androids dream of electric sheep? - philip k. dick
listening to: the stooges/iggy pop
to listen: the velvet underground and nico/kinks

got back from the library with the above mentioned stash o music and books. i got please kill me off rachel. am still in the proto punk stages o the book. lou reed. stooges. mc5. new york dolls. patti smith. warhol. edie. nico. danny fields. heroin. glitter. that whole scene...ohh and this morn i watched another awesome bbc docu: the pink floyd story: which one's pink? now i cant start properly listening to them :D i dont get why people have to act like some bands r mutually exclusive. like the beatles vs pink floyd.

anyhoo bbc docus r the best. the floyd one was really extra personalish as the main interviewees were the band members...i found bob geldof's presence a bit out of place actually...i mean it made sense in the end because he made the reunion concert happen but other than that his comments on them seemed irrelevant...

iv been having a musical day i say. just remembered that i listened to radio one after ages in the morn and noel gallagher was talking to chris moyles. about the electric proms and blah. he is muchly listenable to.

i'm going to miss iplayer when i go back to indias.
other things i might miss: radio 1...erm...am sure there r more things i will miss...my booti frends obv...but things? hmm...flake, pound stores...houmous! but could attempt making it at home.. :D..and grassy places to lie on sunny days...

things i defo wont miss:
the itv fuckwit commentators
the cold jacket weather
to be continued.

quack.quack.quack.

watched the sideyest countdown on E!...25 style icons or something. its bout how ppl lost their soul and individuality to that hideous thing called fashion otherwise known as the cult of wearing black black and more black in the name of being i dont know what...eergh...lets take a bunch of nice normal ppl being colourful and happy and 80s and punk and all things nice and make them clones and then call them icons so that other people can aspire to becoming clones. the evil plan is complete. total domination through sheepification. in the words of claude in can't hardly wait 'baa!'

look how beautiful>

ps. dont miss the mighty ducks reference.

who do you seeee?

crazy random happenstance?! or is the universe playing with my mind. good playing. i like it. just watched episode 2 of house season 5. and guess who's in it! felicia "penny" day. tadaaaa! and yes i know that you cant see her at all there...really good episode B-T-W [bee, tee, double-u as NPH would say] cant wait for mooore...
note to imdb: she's not on the cast list yet! what isss that?

ooh i just used imdb's update system to add a credit. funky. now twil be reviewed and added etc. they will email me later blah blah...good system!

ps. found this thru lastfm. i love this pic much.

ms austen's blog, nay letter...

just watched 'becoming jane' which i had previously been resisting watching because a) i love jane austen, b) i hate anne hathaway...but then the lure of james mcavoy worked on me and i felt i ought to give it a shot. and so i did. and well duh i loved it. when do i ever hate anything he's in? well 'wimbledon' but every scene with him in it, was ace. [review: anne hathaway can act, she is definitely less annoying and more ignorable than keira knightley. joe anderson is quite genius. each role is so incredibly different...considering i didnt recognise him until halfway into 'control'!]

speaking of jane, i watched a lil bit of one episode of that new austen meets time travel thing...i forget what it's called...the one where ms price someone is in pride and prejudice instead of elizabeth bennett..it's completely funny because of the sheer silliness of it all. i rem now. tis called 'lost in austen' ...

i have a theory. it was bound to happen someday. someone, somewhere wud realise that scifi/fantasy and period romance/drama have essentially the same fan base. hopeless romantic fantasist/dreamer types who lose themselves in ludricrous [and humorous and dramatic over the top] other lives which their own lives could never aspire to [ignore my high minded language, i tend to absorb like a sponge when i watch or read things -the effects will pass shortly].

watching act III of dr horrible again now.
#everyone's a hero in their own way...# everybody! sway!
#you people all have to learrrrrn...this world's going to burrrrn# yeah it's 2 'r's h-o-r-r...
...ohhhh i'm in paiiiin...i think this is what pain feels like!

things that dr horrible has in common with becoming jane. they dont have happy endings. but they do get what they want professionally. jane becomes jane austen and dr horrible gets into the evil league of evil...

los angeles, CA or is it MA...

DRAS! just imdbed jason schwartzman [again] to chek where specifically in california he's from...and it's los angeles! which makes all my home songs, songs about los angeles! inc west coast which where jason's from which is LA! i wonder if it has a madras vibe...maybe someday i will go there and chek it out...or maybe i'll meet jason [a girl can dream] and he'll tell me if his india trip reminded him of home...like when i went to liverpooool i felt the madras vibe going on...
the end. :)
