The other night, I watched Hackers for the first time ever. It totally rocked my socks. Seriously, I know to some it would seem nerdy, but it was actually quite cool. Okay, so most likely, real life hackers would not look like this. Plus it was funny to look at some of the clothes.  However, I would still recommend that people see it. It’s funny, looking at the actors then and now, though.

To help with this, I went on the Goddess site. The internet movie database, or imdb.com, is the most informative when it comes to movies, TV and actors (and things of the like).

Also, I’ve just started weights. Muscles I didn’t even realise existed were killing me by the end.

You know, I think Easter is the one time of year where you can get away with having chocolate as part of your breakfast. However, I say “part”. I hope you all got some chocolate or candy eggs or something that you wanted. Little word of advice though: it doesn’t matter how much it is (I only had a little), don’t eat chocolate on an empty stomach in terms of breakfast time. I am proud of myself. I am proud because I’m demonstrating self-control in terms of the yummy stuff I got. Sure, I’ve had a little, but not any more than that. I want to beat my personal record of three days. Or at least reach three days.

Anyway, I know that post was short, but I just wanted to get that out of the way.

Bye-bye!

A few days ago, I had a major stress attack. All my work building up, with other problems to add onto that, and I finally cracked. Of course, what set me off wasn’t anyone being bitchy. It wasn’t me hurting myself in some stupid way. No, it was the printer deciding not to work.

This one little thing (I’m surprised I didn’t through the paper tray out the door or smash the printer with a torch) actually

made me quite hysterical. Mum tried to calm me down and I suspect PD avoided me, the hysterical girl whose stress is making her loopy.

What’s the bet that I’ll go through all this stuff and then when I have holidays with no work, I’ll get sick?

I have just looked up Hot Fuzz on imdb. Apparently, alternative titles include:

Blue Fury (UK) (working title)

Bubblin’ Fizz (UK) (fake working title)

Dead Right (UK) (fake working title)

Feelin’ Fuzzier (UK) (fake working title)

Raging Fuzz (UK) (working title)

Groovy. Imagine telling your friends that you were going to see Bubblin’ Fizz (for those who don’t know, Fuzz is another word for Police). I know it’s a fake title, but still. If you didn’t know what the movie was about, you’d be pretty suspicious. Seriously, Bubblin’ Fizz sounds like the name of a champagne cocktail. Or another fizzy wine. Actually, if it were the name of a drink, I’d probably want to buy it because it sounded nice.

Anyway, Happy Easter!

Firstly, I’d like to begin by giving my condolences to Purple Dragon, who recently lost her guinea pig. The death of a pet is always tough.

Now I have a confession to make. I like Shaun the Sheep. I am aware that it’s a TV show aimed at kids, but it’s actually quite clever. It’s got all these little touches which make me chuckle. Another TV show aimed at kids that I like is  H20: Just add Water. Now, I heard about this show from various people for different reasons in different circumstances, so a few episodes into the first season, I watched an episode. And now I still watch it if I’m home in time.

My cat is glaring at me. Tough, kitty. Tough. You may not like the weather, but that’s no reason to be grumpy at me. There’s not much that’s less appealing than a grumpy, scowling cat.

Oh, apparently there will be a PotC 4. However, because their story is basically rounded off, it will not involve Will or Elizabeth. However, it will involve Jack (duh!) and I think

Barbossa. For any other details, google ”Pirates of the Caribbean 4″. I just thought I’d mention it for any movie buffs.

Now, I have quite a bit to do, so I’ll leave you guys. Happy Easter!

Okay, I’m sure Robin Hood is a good TV show. I’m sure if you don’t mind that kind of historical inaccuracy, it’s great entertainment (especially for any women who find the guys hot…and let’s face it, I know there’s a LOT out there). However, I absolutely refuse to believe that in Robin Hood’s time, there were bloody Blackjack tables.

We’re talking somewhere between Mediaeval and Renaissance times in England, after all. We’re not talking Vegas here. We’re not even talking modern-day Blackpool. No we’re talking about people who maybe DID have arrow-shooting contests (to prove that they’re ”Hot Stuff” and to impress the ladies) . Sorry mate, I’m not buying the hot roller plot.

Now, what I did like was (and please don’t give me spoilers on this or ELSE YOU WILL DIE)  Life on Mars. The last episode I watched made fun of British kids’ shows and it began with a claymation on Sam’s TV. Surprisingly, the claymation actually kind of looked like John Simm and Phillip Glenister. I especially liked the use of the trash can lid and the waving of the characters.

Channel 10 are being absolute twerps (I’m being kind here) by not getting back to me about whether they plan on showing Veronica Mars on regular TV for people who don’t want HD like me, who have watched VM from the very first ep (I’ve called twice and I think it’s been about a month and a half since the last one) . I even watched it when they decided “Oh, let’s get people to stop watchng an awesome American show so that we can show an 18th edition of Big Brother.”

“What about Veronica Mars?”
“Perfect! A show with a decent plot with classic one-liners and mystery.”

“Though we can’t have an email address, ’cos otherwise viewers will go off their nut at us for doing this to awesome TV when we could be doing it to Friday Night Morons.”

“True, and then we’ll tell the really determined ones, say the ones who ring, that Admin are in an important meeting, of course about who’s the hotter guy from Supernatural, but they don’t need to know that, and if they leave their name and phone number with us, we’ll actually get back to them.” Grr, grr, grumble, grumble.

I wish Channel 7 would hurry up and show whole seasons. I want to see the rest of Bones and Heroes already. Seriously, they couldn’t show two eps of Heroes? That’s sad. And how long does it take to get through one season of Bones? Apparently, a long time for those poor Channel 7 executives.

Finally, it’s that time of year where Dr Who rumours are flying and you can find tonnes of photos and even two trailers. So far, I’ve got to say it’s looking pretty damn good, with people popping up like Potter Puppet Pals.

What I’ve been told by the ABC (this was at the end of last year)  is that they will repeat Blackpool and I THINK (I can’t remember whether it’s the case, but I think) Casanova. Which

would be nice, because I never got to watch them. And I have seen the infamous ”Boy with the Thorn in His Side” thing. I just love the dancing. That really did make me smile.

Okay, enough now. Though for the record, I know some people would think I’m nerdy for watching those shows, and maybe I am; but in my opinion, nerds will ALWAYS be cooler than try-hards and those who are ”too cool to smile”.

I am the Girl in Red. If you have heard of me, it’s probably through the Purple Dragon blog, where my sister with the slightly unhealthy obssession with Doctor Who refers to me as “Lil Sis” (even though I am now taller than her- MUAH HA HA HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!).

So yeah, if you want to find out some extra past stories, I’d start there.

Last night I ended up going to a dance where I ended up having to block/distract this one girl who near the end kept ripping the heads of people kissing away from each other.

Oh, here’s something. Have you ever had one of those moments where you’re channel surfing and you come across something that’s kind of perverted or I suppose sexual, but you’re frozen in…something? Surprise, confusion, I don’t know.  I remember last year, I was watching the Sideshow on the ABC. Anyway, this one time, for reasons I can’t understand, they had a champion pole dancer on. Obviously they had her perform.

So there I was, flipping through channels with the TV headphones on when suddenly I come across this woman poledancing. As time went on, she ended up continually doing things that, to put in simple terms,  I didn’t even realise were possible

(like clinging to the pole with one foot only). PD was on the phone while I was going

‘Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God’. Eventually she turned around, said ’Oh my God’, then ’Why are you watching a program with pole dancing?’.

The person on the other end went ’Pole dancing? What channel?’. When PD informed them of the channel, she then heard ’Oh my God’.

So all of us were going ”Oh my God” until Dad eventually came out and said ’Why do I keep hearing “Oh my God”?’.

This is when he turned to the TV and went ’Oh my God’.

Anyway, that’s my first post. I promise I’ll make it more interesting in future. Although I don’t plan on having any pictures from that Dr Who burlesque show that I know was shown in Britain. I mean, I’m not, you know, strange.
