Dec 17

So, it’s the 17th of December. 

I get paid on Friday, that’ll be the last time I get paid in 2008.  We’ve just watched this week’s Heroes – that’s the last of the TV (unless you count Private Practice) this year – most of the shows are back in mid-January, the others are back  in Febuary. 

Before most of the TV shows come back we’ll see the start of the new series of 24.  Redemption was really good – sets the new series up nicely.  I’m not sure if the plan for S7 is still the same as it was when the trailer was released pre-writers strike. 

Still working our way through Buffy.  Started at the end of Season 2 a few weeks ago, I love the whole Buffy/Angel Becoming/Innocence storyline.  The season finale with her having to kill Angel even after Willow has managed to restore his soul still makes me well up every time. 

The TV we watch these days is a lot more grown up than Buffy/Angel.  Bones has David Boreanez in it but it’s a much more adult orientated show.  I guess the kids these days watch Smallville (got bored of that around season 5) and the OC and god knows what else. 

Just started to get into Fringe – rather like that so far from what I’ve seen.  Very X-Filesy and the casting is great. 

So anyway, I digress. 

It’s the 17th, there are 8 sleeps until Christmas.  14 days left until 2009.  We’re getting awfully close to a 10th of the way through this century.  Nearly an entire decade over and done with. 

Not long until 2015 – where are the hoverboards?!  What about that self drying jacket and the power laces?!  I’m talking to you Robert Zemeckis :p

Funny how they thought the future would turn out from 1985.  30 years into the future.  If that film (trilogy) was made today, what sort of predictions do you suppose they’d make now?  It’d probably be all doom and gloom with all that Global Warming rubbish (blame the cows or the volcanoes tbh). 

There was something on TV tonight – on the One Show (crappy magazine tv show thingy) where a vegetarian was pleading with the Country to give up meat and become a veggie.  Fuck Off.

The average person eats 11,000 animals in their lifetime – you can save animals by giving up meat. 

What a load of bollocks.

The only reason these animals exist is because they are bred to be eaten.  Meat good.  Sprouts bad.

It’s getting close to that meal where I’m forced to eat sprouts.  Horrible things they are, hate them.  I think I had some sprouts a year or so ago that didn’t taste too bad, they were sweet.  Not sure what was going on with them.  Maybe they were fake sprouts. 

Another year goes by.  It’s been a funny one really, new job, lots of ups and downs.  At least it looks like I don’t have to worry about SAD anymore.  Means I can probably sell the lightbox. 

It’s the shortest day on Sunday, starts getting lighter after that.  Cool.  I’ve been enjoying these dark nights though, they’re all cosy. 

I could go on, but I’ve waffled enough, *Clicks Publish*

More Buffy!
