(no subject)

First of all hi to Rya. I'd love to say that the incoherent love of CSI and wrestling is nothing like what I usually post, except that would be a lie.

Just saw CSI episode "Burden of Proof". Somehow I've missed out on seeing that one before. And it's taken immediate residence as my favourite episode ever, because everyone is so very much themselves and there's quirkiness and good gore and a body farm. Yes, much love.

This comes on top of yesterday's episode of Chicago Hope which was so brilliantly off the wall and different that Joss Whedon would have been proud. Also it is feeding my crushlet on Eric Stoltz that I've had for ages. But it was brilliant, it was a take off of a E! Report on the death of this actor on a show that was a blatent mickey take on "Touched By An Angel" and the chaos surrounding it. I mean, they even managed to make the way it was shot and looked totally different.

Medical dramas really aren't my thing but Chicago Hope might be the one exception.

BTW is that Jimmy Smits in season six of the West Wing?

( Saw this week's Bottom Line )

The only un-fun about today has been writing up my lab report. Bloody scientific English.

Also

When you see this in your flist, quote some Shakespeare.

Can I do two bits?

The first bit of Shakespeare I learnt

- "Lay on McDuff
And damn'd be he
who first cries
hold!
enough!"

Due to Mum getting v.v. pissed off about people starting that with 'Lead on'.

And another old favourite

- "We few, we happy few,
we band of brother,
for he who sheds his blood with me today
shall be my brother
be he ne'er so vile
this day shall gentle his condition
And gentlemen in England
now a'bed
shall think themselves accursed
that they were not here
and hold their manhoods cheap
while any speaks
who fought with us
upon St. Crispin's day."

MacBeth and Henry V respectively.

I know I didn't do the poetry one, but that's because I agree with the child that defined poetry as such "Poetry is when every line starts with a capital letter and doesn't reach the right side of the page." I don't, for want of a better way of putting it, get the poetry in poetry.

But good old Bill Shakesstaff, him I get.

And, as a tangent, I know I always complain about the Harry Potter films leaving out my favourite scenes. They do the same with Henry V, my favourite scene being the one with the French getting ready and the Constable and the Dauphin are insulting each other. The beginning of the scene is sometimes in, but never all of it. Mainly because it's very Shakespearean insulting, very witty, and very obscure.

But I don't mind, mainly because the adaptors normally put the other things I like in or they leave it out for good reasons, which the HP adaptors never seem to do.

More TV comments and a meme

In the TV related squeakings yesterday I missed out Atlantis.

( Which was odd since... )

Also watched some of the old Jason Connery featuring Robin Hood. I'm still not sure if it was okay or abysmal.

And now the meme, pinched from Joanne_c.

Chances are people you don't even know are being introduced to your journal every day, either randomly or through someone else. In addition to recent entries, people can get to know you better by what you posted in the past. With that in mind post a link to your entries on this day six months ago, nine months ago, a year ago, and two years ago. If there was no entry on that day, link the closest date.

Six months ago I was on a wrestling high - http://www.livejournal.com/users/redfiona99/2005/03/24/

My life really doesn't ever seem to change ;)
