Noticed today that the music channels on TV are now already playing Christmas music- with VH1 Classic and Magic having their entire schedules full of it, and VH1 showing a fair bit of it too (the rest of the schedule seems to be X Factor related, with shows about JLS and Jedward, just one of the many reasons no-one cares about the charts any more). Isn't it a bit early to really be showing christmas music at all, yet alone having it shown back to back, it's nearly 5 weeks away! Still, it means we're now into our endless onslaught of Wham, Band Aid and Cliff Richard, along with Noddy Holder making the money he'll need to live through the rest of the year through royalites and personal appearances (already seen him today, though it was a repeat from last year he's bound to have been payed for showing it again) before vanishing into oblivion for 11 months.

Also today, I've finally had the top of by bed taken away (it was a sort-of bunk bed, with a futon at the bottom rather than another bed), and my room already feels twice as big. It's made some room where I can hopefully put up some shelves (for my plushies ;-) ) and maybe some furry art if I can ever feel I can be open about it...

I was channel hopping last night and came across something on one of the music channels called "pants off dance off". Basically, it had a fat, balding middle-aged man (complete with walking stick) slowly stripping while dancing to a particular song, while at the very end of the song, he takes his pants off (as per the name of the show), Mercifully, it was censored, but it did tell you that you can see his "bits" if you go to the website (who wants to see an old man's shrivelled gentials?). Immediatly after this was an incredibly fat woman doing exactly the same- I switched off at this point. Is this what classes as entertainment these days? Jesus!

Look what I've just found on Youtube!



Give this man a round of applause :D : D :D :D :D

Can I have the other 10 Series 2 episodes that aren't on YouTube please :-) Anyone who does so gets the biggest hugs in the world from me! I'll love you forever!

Just logged onto YouTube to see they've moved me over to the new style channels. Seeing as everyone else seemed to have been moved over but I still had the old type, I'd sort-of hoped they'd forgotten about mine- no such luck! I don't particularly like the new style that much, particularly as you can't customise the order the videos appear in- and you have to have a featured video (I prefered not having one). Also, I need to do something about that icon, the one I have now is just something I knocked up for a piece of video editing I did around 3 years back. I want to replace it with something fursona-related if I get something drawn...

Also, nearly 11,000 channel views and 41 subscribers? Where did they come from?

Just seen this on the website of the local paper:
http://www.chad.co.uk/news/Woman-in-hospital-after-sign.5701620.jp

We actually went past there earlier, and I spotted part of the sign had fallen off, not nice to hear someone's actually in hospital because of it!

Dogs like Kendal Mint Cake ;-)

*noms*

Thanks to the person over on the DS forums who pointed in the direction of the pan-European version of Boomerang going out on 8W! First time I've properly moved my dish away from 28.2E in ages! Quite enjoying the fact they're showing Count Duckula (which I haven't seen for years- bar the christmas episode which my grandmother taped for me way back in 1990 (still have the tape!)! And while you're at it, there's another good Cosgrove Hall cartoon you could buy the rights to ;-) ) and The Raccoons (including seasons 3-5 which aren't yet out on DVD), neither of which are on the UK version. In fact looking at the schedules of numerous channels it seems the pan-Europe versions are better than ours, it's a shame we seem to get a raw deal!

Seeing as everyone else is at it, here I go...



Yes, I haven't bothered changing the default wallpaper, and I really should have got round to deleting that video file after I'd burnt it to DVD... I have a load of other video files I should have deleted ages ago as well.

Does make me think though- I do want to get something commissioned for my wallpaper. Probably somehow involving me & Evita (I already have something in mind...). Yes, I'm obsessed with that vixen, so what? ;-)

Just been browsing through some old TV continuity clips on YouTube, and what do I see in an old CITV clip, but this:



Yes, the cardboard cut-out that from the moment I first saw it back in 1999 set off something which has probably occupied far too much of my time over the past decade ;-) Also just realised that last Wednesday was exactly 10 years since the first episode was shown, so happy (belated) birthday! And while I'm at it- please bring out series 2 on DVD!

So, on an internet message board I use, the subject's come up yet again- how people who aren't "getting any" or keep hold of their virginity beyond their late teens are "sad", "abnormal", "live a boring life" and that being a virgin after a certain age is something to be mocked and pitied and all the other usual stuff. It's a common view, I hear it all the time. As an asexual, I get sick of this, the general attitude towards sex with it seems the majority of people in this country. The idea that you have to be having it or your life is pathetic, the idea that if you're a virgin then you've lived a sad, boring life. Just why do people think this way? As someone who's never considered another human being sexually attractive in my life, and never had any urges to have sex, I just can't understand why people are so bothered about what other people are (or aren't) doing in their sex life- and feel that someone not having one is something to mock, and that the word "virgin" is basically thrown around as an insult. It's little wonder I keep what I do and how I feel to myself, when I'm worried about having the total piss taken out of me for feelings I basically have no control over- and quite simply would be perfectly happy with if society didn't have this attitude towards people like me. Instead I'm made to feel as if I'm inadequate and that there's something wrong with me. In some ways, I'm glad I live the isolated, unsocial life that I do because it means at least I've (so far) not had to encounter this attitude outside the internet. Some of these things I read and hear often make me feel completely abnormal and inadequate, and I always worry about being judged by other people, and it's not fair. The fact I'm into vore and find cartoon animals attractive just makes me feel even worse sometimes as well- after all, what would people make of me being totally uninterested in what they'd judge "normal things", but being into those?
