TeleWest (or is it NTL now?) have recently blessed... um, perhaps cursed is a better term, us with a new channel,
Horror (only with the final R reversed). It specialises in 1 star films, like
Rana: The Legend of Shadow Lake (on tonight - OK, tomorrow morning if you're being picky - at midnight 50). I think DigiGuide are embarrassed to have to include the listings: they don't provide the channel number, and neither does the banner! You can only actually
find the channel by trial and error (or by tediously flicking through the channels via remote). [frown] I think it's 144. But I could be wrong. I only had it playing in the background once and it was so awful I switched the TV off after about five minutes...
If you're a regular visitor here, you'll probably have noticed that I can't write without musekick (music, for the literal-minded). Quite often I have MTV2 playing on the TV while I write (I feed the sound from the digital black box through the stereo to my computer's 'in' line, so I can have the sound through my speakers and see the TV by looking 97° to the right. OK, not great for my neck, but then, I'm listening rather than watching). I like MTV2, it's where I discovered
Green Day,
Killers,
System of a Down and the amazing
Muse.
I'll rephrase that. Usually I like MTV2. Today they're playing '101 singles you must download', and they've just shown Art Brut's 'We formed a band'. At least, I think that's what it was called. The words are 'We formed a band, we formed a band. Look at us, we formed a band'. Or something almost identical. Over and over and over again. [blink] And your point is?
Of course, I could be missing some obscure, profound and very clever existential or epistemological symbolism here... Or not. Nah - I'll bet the latter. This is just crap...
Four pages into the angst-filled
2AC 1.4.03. Quite enjoying this part, been a while since I wrote any angst!
I've decided to do something about my backlog, along the lines of aiming to write one fanfic a week (or maybe a fortnight) as even-lighter-relief from
Haadri and
2AC. I have several promised, after all: there's
Band part 3, the orgy in
Heroes (
Drawn Together), the fourth
Matrix Twins fic, and another gremlins orgy. There's an
Arslan Senki ficlet started too. And I
still want to finish
Transposition, even after all this time. Then there's
Leander Pryne. There was a little
Interstellar 5555 story planned, and of course now
Furuba is nagging (I think that'll be a case of writing just one fic to 'get it out of my system', as it were... Hm... I've said that before, haven't I...)
Right - dinner then some more anime!
