- Okay, I'm feeling a little more confident about tonight, so I'll advertise this. I'll be co-hosting a radio show on 95.3FM tonight, from 9pm to 11pm. Topics covered include female gamers, the case for the legalisation of drugs, and should universities teach alternative medicine. I have opinions on all of these, so tune in. An edited MP3 will be published later on!
- Wedding today. I get to wear a suit and shiny shoes. Getting ready for people to tell me I can "scrub up well", you know, with genuine surprise in their voice. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. *disappointing squint* It's going to be difficult not to take offense. Can anyone think of a subtle, under-handed comeback?
- I am triple booked for tonight. Quadruple booked if you include the fact that I am seriously considering just staying home and catching up on much needed sleep.
- "Oh great Jesus son of Mary, wife of Joseph! What are we gonna do, huh? Oh sweet Joseph, husband of Mary but not father of sweet Jesus." - Butters, South Park
- Oh god. I am so sleepy. I can barely function today.
- I'll be on the radio next week, but I'll be keeping when and which station a secret in case I suck. If all goes well, it'll be a regular thing. Super-excited!
- Just watched S2E1 of the new BBC Sherlock series. I'm was really happy to see an asexual character on screen. The fact that he's the main character, titular character, and the show is extremely popular; even better! How can alternative lifestyles gain acceptance if they are never portrayed in popular culture...at all? Moffat is quoted as saying this: "There's no indication in the original stories that he was asexual or gay. He actually says he declines the attention of women because he doesn't want the distraction. What does that tell you about him? Straightforward deduction. He wouldn't be living with a man if he thought men were interesting...If he was asexual, there would be no tension in that, no fun in that – it's someone who abstains who's interesting. There's no guarantee that he'll stay that way in the end – maybe he marries Mrs Hudson. I don't know!" (http://www.guardian.co.uk/tv-and-radio/2012/jan/20/steven-moffat-sherlock-doctor-who?INTCMP=SRCH) So basically, Moffat's saying that Sherlock heterosexual and celibate. I disagree that an asexual character would not cause tension and that it would be uninteresting. Yes, there's less to explore, but by sheer virtue of it being under-explored in popular media it would be something new, and therefore interesting.
- What better way to request a shared-cost marketing campaign from a multinational than pointing out the URL in the ads of their current national campaign is broken.
