shallowness

This week, I decided to treat myself and buy more Livejournal icons, but after immediately bringing back a bunch of old ones I missed, I have a few gaps to fill. I’m umming and ahhing over resuscitating one or two further ones, but I also don’t want to have placeholders that I’ll replace when shows like Downton Abbey come back.

However, I desperately want an icon/icons of people from something that I love being happy/amused/laughing. Since I started watching it, I’ve wished there were more The Mindy Project icons out there to pick from. I don’t understand why there are so few: it’s a colourful show with far from ugly people pulling funny faces. I know it hasn’t been massive in fandom, but still.

Anyway, if anyone would like to rec icon makers who they love, please do so!


I caught up on the penultimate episode of Top of the Lake on Friday, but last night sat down to watch Glorious 39 on DVD, mistimed it and didn’t watch the final episode of TotL. I will watch it when I get the time and nerve (I’m more worried about being spoiled offline) and post about both episodes.

As for Glorious 39

If you've been reading recent posts, it may not surprise you that I brought a presentational set of Jane Austen-themed stamps yesterday. The Mansfield Park one is a little wonky. Of course it is.

I also went and bought the Dancing in the Edge soundtrack at HMV. (Product Placement on the Beeb shocker!) I've been meaning to discuss HMV since the news it went into recievership ( Read more... )

Finally, I had an inspiration for what would be the best ever ever episode of Revenge. So, the British media has been full of Daniel Day-Lewis and his likely win of an Oscar for Lincoln, reminding me that he was in Last of the Mohicans with...Madeline Stowe. YEAH. I know it's unlikely, we've also been reminded that he's very picky about his projects, but I've been chortling to myself thinking about DD-L cast as an investor or someone higher up in the Initiative or whatever, wandering about the Hamptons, possibly being genial but lethal underneath and interacting with various characters and how their pouting would stack up. Please get on that, Revenge, it'd be so entertaining.

First, It’s been announced that BBC4 have got the rights to and will be airing Borgen (PHEW). I won’t link to the article that informed me of this, because it was mildly spoily about the set-up.

Secondly, episode 3 – ( Read more... )
