Update of no importance

1.
Ashes to Ashes finished. I know it needed to be brought to a conclusion, it couldn’t go on forever but still I feel bereft. What am I going to do without it? I mean, it was a bit rough on my feminist side Gene Hunt...back seat of the Quattro...I think so, but I loved it so much. *sniffle*

2.
Lost also finished. About bloody time. And on that note...what? I know I haven’t really been paying attention for like, a while now, but still...was it just me or did it answer practically nothing? I know a little ambiguity is intriguing (you’re talking to a fan of The Prisoner) but this...no. Bah. I may have to re-watch the whole thing from beginning to end when I have time.

I realised today that my Government, the ACTUAL one that runs my country RIGHT NOW, in my head goes a little like this:

David Cameron = Urquhart
George Osborne = Stamper
Nick Clegg = Sarah

Complete with weird triangular relationship and jealousy issues.

OMG people, I should not be thinking like this about important real life stuff! I blame uk_lolitics. It is preventing me from taking this seriously. Plus the BBC keeps describing David Cameron and Nick Clegg as a couple! It’s driving me goddamn crazy! It makes me mad because I would love it if I didn’t dislike Cameron so very, very much. Cameron/Osborne all the way! (That way I dislike both the people in the ship equally).

4.
I have been sort of fic writing. The thing is, we have the wedding of the century going on here at the moment (my friend would not have me describe it any other way), so I’ve been busy with real life...but this is good, happy real life so I’m down with that.

5.
I bought some cowboy boots. They’re very sexy but, to paraphrase Bill Maher: ‘there are no cowboys, I’m wearing a costume!’

6.
The weather has been very hot here. You know how bad we were during the cold weather? Well, we’re not very good in the heat either.

7.
Beyond the fic prompts you guys gave me I also have more Star Trek fic in my head; an AU of This Side of Paradise where they actually stay on the planet with the HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE plant life and another, as yet directionless, S/Mc fic (which at the moment consists of random bits of smut that need shaping into some sort of story).


TL;DR? I get too emotionally invested in TV, I’m starting to view my country’s politics as a fandom, I have no style, and I’ve been writing porn.

What's the opposite of RL anyway? FL?
Your writing fic isn't going to be viewed with anything but a squeal over here. But oh dear Lord, your view of UK politics...now I'm wondering if our boys are actually possessing their living counterparts...shudders galore on that one!

Good luck with the wedding of the century...and as far as LOST goes, I swear it's a multimega version of AN OCCURRENCE AT OWL CREEK BRIDGE...there. I've said it.

The only difference in my mind is that Cameron treats Osborne slightly better than Urquhart treated Stamper...well, he’s given him a better job anyway (he’s the Chancellor, and if you knew Osborne that would frighten the life out of you).

Still, in my mind Cameron is totally dumping Osborne for Nick Clegg and I can imagine Osborne being obsessive and weird about it. Gah! This is killing me. I hate bloody Tories.
