Writer's Block: B.Y.O.B. Holidays

2011-12-14T18:20:43Z

My must-see holiday movie, forever and always, will be The Muppet Christmas Carol. There hasn't been a single year since its release in which I haven't watched it at least once.

Posting on here for the first time in a long time just to echo the sentiments of that meme currently floating around. I met some of my dearest friends, as well as my partner of over three years now, thanks to the internet. It really is a wonderful thing. And just know that even though I'm not on LJ as visibly anymore (though I do still read through my f'list on a nearly daily basis), you are all very important to me, and I think of you often.

A very short clip of my TV debut...

I rarely ever post on LiveJournal anymore, but I love the new Doctor Who so much already, I couldn't help making a new icon. Thanks, crossoverman!

For those who are curious, btw, my spoilery review of "The Eleventh Hour" is here.

Name a TV show series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:

Farscape. At least 4 times.

Everything I watch, because I'm a completist, but mostly Glee, Being Human, The Big Bang Theory, True Blood, and Chuck.

David Tennant.

Name an actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:

Jack Black.

Six Feet Under, Glee.

Name a show you like that no one else enjoys:

Possibly Greg the Bunny, the short-lived FOX version.

Name a TV show which you've been known to sing the theme song:

All of them. I take particular pride in being able to recite the entire Xena opening narration by heart, and in time to the show.

Name a show you would recommend everyone to watch:

Um, Glee. The only show that I've been able to recommend to geeks, non-geeks, musical theatre fans, musical theatre haters, etc alike, and everyone loved.

Name a TV series you own:

Just one? I was particularly excited about getting all 4 series of the new Doctor Who from my partner for Channukah this year.

What is your favourite episode of your favourite series?

Quite possibly "Bad Habits" from Pushing Daisies

A show you mean to watch, but you just haven't gotten around to yet:

The Sarah Connor Chronicles

Ever quit watching a show because it was so bad?

Heroes.

Farscape, Buffy, Being Human, Alias...

Community. (Glee premiered last June!)

What do you eat when you watch TV?

I usually eat salad for dinner, while watching TV.

Every day, at least a few hours.

Do you have a favorite talk show?

Wendy Williams is a guilty pleasure. I actually have tickets to be in the audience next week, hahaha.

An episode of the dreadful third season of the formerly fun Robin Hood on BBC.

What's your favourite/preferred genre of TV?

Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

As a child, Sesame Street. As an older fan, Xena was the first show I became completely obsessed with.

What TV show do you wish you never watched?

Smallville had such potential, but completely fell apart.

What's the weirdest show you enjoyed?

To be a show I love, being weird is practically a prerequisite, so that's a hard question to answer. Maybe Carnivale, maybe Greg the Bunny...

What TV show scared you the most?

At least a few X-Files.

What is the funniest TV show you have ever watched?

Probably The Big Bang Theory.

Which do you think is the best TV series ever made?

Pushing Daisies. Brilliant, complex, multilayered storytelling, dazzling visuals, perfect acting, dizzying, astounding creativity on a weekly basis. Too good for TV.

For those of you who are not yet aware (probably because I'm on Twitter now more than here), my amazing partner, bedlamblade has been writing a fantastic gay-themed fantasy serial at his website, http://www.thomasscofield.com. Well, actually, he is writing a number of fantasy serials, but the direct link to the start of this particular one is here: http://www.thomasscofield.com/athenaeum/103. He's currently up to Chapter 10 of 12.

He also has a side project, http://www.nurserytymes.com, where he turns the latest news stories into "newsery rhymes."

Read, enjoy, tell your friends!
