Happy 2012!! I hope everyone has a safe new years.

Instead of complaining about neighbors shooting off fireworks I'll post dragons...

Oh wow, it's been forever since I updated this thing. I got kind of got distracted. By like. A lot.

Anyway.

First of all, I hope everyone had a happy holiday. Mine was pretty good. :3

Secondly, with all LJ's recent bullshit I am probably going to move over to my dreamwidth account, etcetera, for actual journal-type blogging. Though I clearly don't update very often lately, but still. Just an FYI, if anyone wants to add me there.

Thirdly! Christmas eggs!

So, I'm actually excited about TV for the first time in a year or more. I've become pretty disinterested in a lot of the stuff that gets aired in the US over the past couple of years. There are a couple of shows I follow (Glee, at the moment. True Blood, in the summer), but I'm not particularly enthusiastic about them at this point. But between Camelot, The Borgias and Game of Thrones, that's changing.

I watched Camelot this weekend and enjoyed it a lot. Admittedly I went in with a heavy Arthurian bias. I eat adaptations of those legends up, and have for years. There are only a few modern reworkings of the legends I've disliked. So, I was most excited about this one and I wasn't disappointed. At least not yet. Oh, there were some problematic elements, but it looks like an intriguing take on the legend and the series is seriously gorgeous. The sets, the cinematography, and the music are all A+, and the costumes are....interesting, if not always practical.

Also ( cut for spoilers. idk, just in caseCollapse )

I wasn't able to watch The Borgias tonight, but I recorded it and I'm looking forward to watching it because kyaaaa the Italian Renaissance. And I've always been interested in the Borgias. They are so fucked up.

Game of Thrones is the one I'm most dubious about because I didn't actually like the books when I tried to read them, but that doesn't mean I won't like the TV adaptation so I'm going to give it a try, at least.

I also watched the premiere of Body of Proof last week, and I'm not usually a fan of crime shows (with the exception of Criminal Minds, when I happen to catch it), but I was impressed. I liked Dana Delany's charcter quite a bit and was pleased to see a TV show revolving around a woman who's over the age of 50 and whose character is driven and ambitious. So I'll probably keep an eye on that, too.

...So, as of today, I've had this journal for 10 years.

Huh. Where does time go?

I haven't had much to say lately. But I got a new layout anyway, because I was bored with the old one. :x

I want to upload some new icons, too, but I don't feel like deciding on which ones, so that will have to wait.

This is the first chapter I've had anything to say about in awhile.
