back in london, busy and, oh yeah, LIVE.

So, you may have noticed somewhat of a drastic redesign of the site, told you it was better. AND we’ve got loads of new stuff for your blinking pleasure. You probably also noticed that all your blinks got deleted, sorry about that, but we upgraded the picture quality, see? So it’s all worked out for the best. We’re having the proper launch really soon, so now would probably be a good time to recreate all those masterpieces you lost in the fire. (by fire, I mean upgrade, as is often the way)

Enough talk of the site though, on to matters of the fall schedule kind. I was in NY a couple of weeks ago for my birthday, and inbetween the fun and parties, I managed to watch a HUGE amount of television. Run down is as follows.

HEROES - Hmmmmmm, everyone thought it was gonna be awesome. It’s not quite there yet though. I know we’re only two episodes in, but leaving us on a somewhat weak season finale we needed something incredibly engaging in episode one. We didn’t really get it, unless (spoiler alert) you count Peter not being dead. The new Mexican twins are all a little bit x-files and that Nissan product placement is almost sickening. This being said, it’s still Heroes, it’s still better than most of the other stuff available for our viewing pleasure. Season one took a few episodes to get into, I’m hoping it’s the same with Season two. I’m excited that the Haitian is back, and Nathan has a beard, which is doubly awesome.

CHUCK – Even I am not feeling Chuck, and I’m already addicted to

GOSSIP GIRL – My guiltiest pleasure of this year. It’s not like the OC, although it is. How did Matthew Settle get old enough to be playing the (admittedly) hot Dad? He was playing the college love interest a few years back. Age is a cruel mistress. The most annoying thing about Gossip Girl is Kristen Bells XOXO voiceover. Everyone in the cast is insanely attractive and it’s set on the Upper East Side, with just a dash of the fashionable part of Brooklyn thrown in for good measure. It’s also fun trying to figure out which one is Seth. Is it Dan, is it not? It’s not the greatest show in the world, you may not question your existance after repeated viewings, but you’ll be entertained by approximately 43 minutes at a time.

TELL ME YOU LOVE ME – HBO are great at clever upper-middle class dramas. I know everyone is watching this to see if the sex is real, but once you get by that, it’s an amazing study on relationships at every stage and age. The cast is fantastic, the script is flawless and the direction is reminiscent of a good indie movie back when they still existed. It reminds me of Friends with Money, but then, I don’t think anybody watched that either.

I’ve also been watching Reaper, new Supernatural, Dirty Sexy Money and a giant long list of other stuff too, I really do <3 the fall schedule.

I’m also currently in love with the new Magma objects store, a couple of doors down from the Covent Garden Magma. It’s like wow.

I’m (hopefully) gonna be updating more often as soon as I find me an assistant, so, yeah, until then.
