I have stuff to update about, hooray

Noes. Dean Andrews' blog is telling me that Ashes to Ashes will not be back until April. APRIL. THAT IS LIKE FOREVER. Well, next week will be March, so April will be next month very shortly, and that is not that long at all. *tries to breath* On another A2A note, I am making a fanmix for Alex and Gene for they are very fanmix worthy. Much fun is being had looking through songs of the late seventies and early eighties. Plus, it is giving me a break from fic that is impossible to write.

Law & Order: UK started tonight. Having never watched any of the American shows, I didn't really know how the format worked (I'd only read a little about it before it aired tonight), but I was really impressed. I'm hoping we get more on the characters as the series goes on and it's not this plot focussed every week because that means I get to ship Freema with everyone. The cast were great and the storyline was interesting enough. It's good to think that most shows like this only really find their feet three or four episodes in, so chances are this is going to get better, and getting better from quite good is quite exciting, actually. Plus, it will give me something to watch between now and A2A.

Briefly, before I pop off to bed, I should mention that I watched Frost/Nixon this weekend and thought it was a really good film. Michael Sheen is a freak of nature. How does he do that? Could quite happily watch that again. Oh, and I just finished reading Liar by Stephen Fry. I love books that make me think 'what the flippin' heck is going on here?' all the way through, and I'm pleased to say that I just about figured it out by the end. I felt ever so pleased with myself, and of course, thoroughly entertained. That Stephen Fry's a clever chap, isn't he.

I don't know what the English one is going to do, but the various American ones are largely more plotty focused. Though SVU does still sound like it's got a lot of shipping between the two main officers. Of course, I don't watch regularly so I don't really see how personal development works on them.

I really wanna see Frost/Nixon. I hardly ever see the movies I want to see, but that's definitely up there. I love Frank Langella, who most of the talk has been surrounding over here, but Michael Sheen fascinates me and I love the idea of putting David Frost at the center of all this stuff, so I find myself focusing on him.

Michael Sheen fascinates me

He always gets the most incredible roles and he always, always shines in them. Oh dear, I fear I may be fangirling him. :/
