Actually managed to watch RAW this week, because the girls who wanted to watch Sex in The City weren't there, either they were going out, or the Queer Mafia scared them away. Okay, the story behind that, RAW comes on at 10, and it was like 10 to, so I check out to see who's in and whether there's any chance of getting the TV.
And Huw, chief leader of Queer Mafia, gives me the look of death. And I'm like, dude, fuck you, because the TV room, it's for everyone. Of course, I couldn't say it, because he's a sub-warden. Gah. And I'm well aware the previous two paragraphs sound like they were written by some right-wing extremist but I've got to vent. Mainly because people look in all the time when I'm watching and I don't glare at them, I look in at other people and they don't glare at me. Just this one idiot who is the campest thing on the planet. Then again, Beaumont Hall would so skew the Kinsey test.
But then I got the first good news of the night. Bradford Bulls despite being minus their two best players and having a whole new defence because the old one retired, beat the Aussie champions. Very happy, even if I don't like the Bulls.
Second good news was that Zed would be watching. Because hee, got to love Zed.
Anyway, on to
Is Vince aware that his strut looks like nothing on Earth and deeply stupid at the same time? Might not like either of the separately, but you've got to love Vinne Mac and Austin together. "You tell him not to do anything you wouldn't do, there's nothing you wouldn't do." Cool on it's own, but if you add in Vince's agrieved look and Austin's deranged happy look, if great fun.
And then Heyman. This is how you advertise a split brand PPV. Cookies to whoever came up with it. And cookies to Heyman for the way he took that spear. He actually squeaked. No else seems to think of doing that. It would so be my reaction to getting speared.
Wasn't expecting that spear to Austin. Well done Vince for moving out of the way.
Ooh do I sense tension with in Team Bald and Angry?
Trish and Chris are so cute. And Matt likes things for free. Does make me wonder what things. BTW is it me or have they done something to his entrance? It used to look so much better.
And then random Christian. Who then explains that he's okay with it. Like everyone's been saying, this is going to end up in a triangle. Plus Christian, he's a good actor too.
Benoit v Flair was a chop-fest, anyone surprised? One thing that it did make me wish though, I wished there had been in-his-prime Flair v Benoit (does such a thing exist?). Because this was good. Not classic, but a good, solid match up. And it built to an ending.
Benoit looked so happy winning.
Hunter, grow the beard back. The present look makes you look like the blonde one from Queer Eye on steroids. It's not a good look. Although that's a wonderful suit. Loved the cut of the trousers. Because I'm imagining he's got tree trunks for legs and that's a very flattering cut. Since I have enormo-thighs, I try and get that sort of thing when I'm trouser shopping. Which is why a lot of my trousers are boot cut or flares.
The speech! OMG the speech.
It was so right in every department, because HHH was on form, the crowd were eating it up and reacting at the right points, and they'd taken the sensible decision to keep Benoit quiet. The speech was electric.
Right now I want 3 things 1) to see WM20, 2) Benoit to win the title and 3) to smack HHH and hard. Damn that guy's good.
Okay other people on the smacking list are HBK, HBK and HBK. Don't do that Shawn. And shave would you.
(Plus me and Zed had argument over the contract and who would get it, only to be told by Rich that it's not really a legal document and Zed going la-la-la because we're both quite happily pretending.)
Loved JR's reaction to Kane's pyro - "I hate that happening and I hate him." or something similar.
I was thinking about not having seen Hurricane in a while when he came out. They remembered that they'd been tag team partners, continuity get cookies too. Although the bookers don't. Don't waste the Hurricane like that. Use Spike or some other random person (not that I don't like Spike, I just like the Hurricane more).
The look on Kane's face when the pyro wouldn't go off. Classic.
Dear lord, Benoit's voice when Bischoff was chasing after him, gah. My english goes missing when it comes to him. He does a good angry.
There's something quite scary about Mick Foley when he goes off on one like that. Love him to pieces. He's lost quite a bit of weight hasn't he.
Although really, by now, he should know not to go to catering without back up. And love him having to ask for directions to catering.
Squeaks at Batista - hey, my over-muscled-guy-who-does-arrogant-well of choice is off somewhere (OVW according to reports), I have to have a back-up, and Batista's it.
And that's where I got cut off. So I saw all of it except the Ric/Randy and thanks to Tamony I've seen pictures so all is cool.
So yes, very good. Everyone seemed to be on form, even the King had a good night.
Plus anything that results in Rich saying 'erotic' is more than a-okay with me.
Also the Eddie v Brock advert was good even if I could have done without the background voice.
Anyway, I was supposed to be being chased out by the block 3 subwarden, but Alex came with him and did it instead which was cool because I got to catch up with him, I haven't seen him properly since before Christmas. So all is good.
Plus I'm over the 1000 word minimum for the photomorphogenesis essay so all else is embroidery. And I've done the IT work. All I've got to do is a genetics essay, an energy flow presentation, finish the photomorphogenesis essay and a microbiology essay and presentation. The next couple of weeks will either kill me or cure me.
Never fence little french people. They're dangerous.
FOTR update
Book Frodo seems to be cleverer (or at least more together) than film Frodo.
Gandalf is still the least comforting advice giver ever. Although his lines do have a wonderful rhythm to them. And I love the way there are hints to the shadow and threat being ever present and ever growing.
Love Hobbitsess sense of priorities.
I'm saying nothing about any branch of our family being anything like the Sackville-Bagginses.
Sam is adorable.
Tolkein has a fantastic gift for making you feel like you were there.
Love Pippin. He's so young and sweet.
The Gaffer's pretty cool. And the Black Riders are deeply icky. Have to admit there was more of a sudden shock in the film when the Black rider nearly gets him to put on the ring. It was more scary rather than odd and creepy like it is in the books.
Okay question - high elves? Is that like the original originals like Galadriel and Celeborn?
I'm going to have to get the Simarillion, aren't I?
Hee Frodo knows the secret of how to deal with travelling. Learn languages.
The description of the elves. For all I'm fonder of the dwarves, there's something poetical about the elves.
One message that did cross over from the book to the film - isolationism bad.
Elves are awfully better than thou and haughty aren't they. Bah! But Gildor is so warm and nice despite that. I can see why people fall in love with this book.
In short so far book elves and film elves are nothing alike and very similar at the same time. Book elves are more mysterious and more earthy at the same time. It's hard to explain. I'd be better able to express it if it wasn't such an overwhelming (in the good way) description.
