Blogging from a handheld?

Any thoughts? I was tempted to try it after reading a few blogs using this method, but I think it's better to sit by the laptop and actually edit correctly before publishing. Of course, you can gather your thoughts a little better too. Handy when you're not home though. The jury is out with this one.

This week I've been mostly watching....

The Darkness - Street Spirit (Cover) by [PIAS] Entertainment

Listen, it's The Darkness, so you know what to expect. Part of me thinks it's good to have them back.
If The Killers are trying sooo hard to be Springsteen but sounding like second rate Meatloaf, then we need some humour from these guys.

Gaeilge isn't dead!

Are we finally beginning to rediscover our love for the native language?
Acquaint yourselves with the basics!

"not so long ago, Irish Christmas decorations were much simpler than they are now. The children gathered holly and ivy for adorning, windows, doorways, mantles and pictures, and the father would carve out a turnip in which would be placed a large red candle. This would go in the window to light the way for the Holy Family on Christmas Eve. Only in relatively recent times did an Irish family have a Nativity scene and a decorated tree in the house. As for Mistletoe, it's quite rare in ireland and is generally associated with ancient Celtic and Druidic fertility celebrations; this is most likely where the custom of kissing under the mistletoe comes from."

Dollhouse appears on TVGuide.co.uk - TV Guide UK TV Listings

What about that! Dollhouse on satellite. FreeSat does have some good shows after all!
For those among you who haven't heard of this show, it's the most recent production from Buffy creator Joss Whedon. I know, I know, that either sends chills running up your spine, or makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Good or Bad? You choose.
Anyway, I've loved Whedon's stuff since 'Firefly', so I was glad that this series is a cracker too. Unfortunately, it only made it to the end of Series 2 before being axed. I think it was a little too dark for the Fox people and the target market, but considering the popularity of stuff like Galactica, I'm not sure why it actually had that target market to begin with.
Anyway, I thought Eliza Dushku was fairly lame and 2-Dimensional in Tru Calling, but I think she's had some acting lessons since then. Also good to see Alan Dudek and Summer Glau from 'Firefly'/'Serenity' - not to forget Olivia Williams and Amy Acker, one of the other stand out actors on 'Angel'. It shows you the love these actors have for Whedon. Either that, or they can't get a job anywhere.
For plot devices, I'm sure there's a million other websites for that crack. I don't have the time at the mo'!

Edward Woodward R.I.P.

Sometimes nostalgia starts to get the better of you.
You start to wear the rose tinted glasses when you delve into your memory banks.
Many people think about TV shows in particular and coming from the 80's with evenings filled with Knight Rider, Magnum PI, Airwolf, et al, it pains me to say, that half these characters where just cartoons...
Now, I know they were kiddie friendly, going out before the watershed, but during summer holidays, we got to stay up a little later, and occasionaly, there was a good show in between the political shows and lame British TV.
One of the characters that was really cool to me was 'The Equaliser' and the main character reminded me of a one-man A-Team, even if it was low on the cartoon action and high on drama and more adult themes. So, a nod of appreciation to Edward Woodward who died last week.
I'm sure there are many finer obituaries out there, recognising him for his many other roles on stage and screen such as 'Callen', 'The Wickerman' and 'Common as Muck', but I really wanted to write this so I could mark it here on my little internet space, and to give credit to Edgar Wright who worked with Edward Woodward on Hot Fuzz and who wrote a piece 10 times better than me>>>
