Carry On

Hello! I'm a bit of an Anglophile. I reside in Texas, New Hampshire, and at this particular moment in Berlin.

The Decade From Hell



Oh.

1st reaction: have to laugh at angry baby!. 2nd reaction: What the hell? It’s not the 1930s or 1940s or the 1910s. I maintain all these decades were quantifiably worse for most people involved. That’s not even getting into, you know, other centuries. I think if you look, you’ll find that it was only the last bits of this decade that were so bad.

A bit of seemless promotion never hurt anyone. And as we want funding there is a reason for it!

Love the hat.

Is this some kind of drastic subplot on The Thick of It?

I'm in the UK right now. Do you know what that means?...

4od and BBC iPlayer. I know. I may never leave the room.

I need to see this movie. NOW.

It’s great though the ending is out-of-left-field (though still perfect). Apparently the sex scene filmed in this movie inspired Sex is Comedy, which features the actress who plays the sister in this movie essentially playing herself.

I once saw half of Sex is Comedy on the Sundance film channel, which was confusing as hell. I do want to see this film, though

Night before a Tex-Mex Christmas

carolineyi:

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
Not a creature ws stirring -- Caramba! ¿Qué pasa?
Los niños were tucked away in their camas,
Some in long underwear, some in pijamas,

While hanging the stockings with mucho cuidado
In hopes that old Santa would feel obligado
To bring all children, both buenos and malos,
A nice batch of dulces and other regalos.

Outside in the yard there arose such a grito
That I jumped to my feet like a fightened cabrito.
I ran to the window and looked out afuera,
And who in the world do you think that it era?

Saint Nick in a sleigh and a big red sombrero
Came dashing along like a crazy bombero.
And pulling his sleigh instead of venados
Were eight little burros approaching volados.

I watched as they came and this quaint little hombre
Was shouting and whistling and calling by nombre:
"Ay Pancho, ay Pepe, ay Cuco, ay Beto,
Ay Chato, ay Chopo, Macuco, y Nieto!"

Then standing erect with his hands on his pecho
He flew to the top of our very own techo.
With his round little belly like a bowl of jalea,
He struggled to squeeze down our old chiminea,

Then huffing and puffing at last in our sala,
With soot smeared all over his red suit de gala,
He filled all the stockings with lovely regalos --
For none of the niños had been very malos.

Then chuckling aloud, seeming very contento,
He turned like a flash and was gone like the viento.
And I heard him exclaim, and this is verdad,
Merry Christmas to all, and Feliz Navidad!

Spanish is much easier to rhyme than English

Shark Attack 3: Megaladon

The best part of Shark Attack 3 is the fact that John Barrowman plays the lead (I had no idea until I saw the opening credits - such a great surprise!).

The second best part is this line. Apparently John Barrowman improvised the line during filming to try to make his co-star laugh and somehow the line made it into the final cut of the film. So ridiculous. Also: further proof that John Barrowman is great.

I surface briefly to say… JOHN BARROWMAN

Most amazing line ever. When you’re that hot, it’s all you need

OMGOMG! I must legitimately be in a foreign country: BBC iPlayer is working!!!!!!!!!! My life is amazing

ETA: I can finally watch episodes of Question Time!!
