Season 5 of The Greatest TV show ever.

LOST. so far season five has brought us three terrific episodes. each better and more gloriously mindblowing than the last. because you left, the lie and jughead. oceanic 6, hurley and desmond centric episodes respectivally. but in my opinion none of these characters have proved to be the most interesting in this oh so glorious penultimate season of Lost. Mr. Daniel Faraday. fuck doctor who, this guy is the REAL time lord, with an understanding of everything from hydrogen bombs to wooing firey red heads. he is definetly some kind of super amazing jedi. either way from infiltrating the orchid to confessing his long assumed love for charlotte he has been a splendid character. and he always wears that tie. classic.

ah, not since arzt and the mercenaries attack have we seen such a glorious red shirt moment than when the long elusive frogurt turned up, complained and was promptly fire arrowed in the chest, splendid. there goes all those guys who thought he was jacob...d'oh.

Ms. Hawking is Faraday's Mum. and i reckon Ellie, who faraday said looked "familiar" is that very Ms. Hawking. also something we have expected to be true for quite some time has finally been confirmed. CHARLES WIDMORE WAS ON THE ISLAND. moohaahaa. epic. i loved that "thing he can knows this island better than me moment." oh you do not know the power of the JOHN LOCKE.

Desmond and Penny called their son Charlie.cutest thing i've ever heard. i loved how it was such a throw away line as well. nothing major was made of it, just slipped in. beautiful.

ben's task seems to be getting harder and harder, what with a murderous sun, a running kate and an arrested hurley. should be quite the task getting them all back to the island. jack seems keen though even going so far as to shave off that mammoth mo fo of a beard. pimpin'.

and mega hahaha at "why is there a dead pakistani on my sofa?!?" classic, i love hurley's mum, she seems really cool. totally at ease with the whole murder, arrest, avenge and crazy island story. i personally was very impressed with how quickly hurley was able to consice 108 days of mental island ness. impressive. took me like 2 hours to explain it to some friends. :-S

i love my shih tzu. also it makes me feel very very l33t when i notice proper lost fan easter egg stuff. like the "I love my wire haired" t shirt is a picture of jack bender's dog. cool or what.

i do feel as well that things are starting to get more sensical. i knew eventually it'd happen, but it seems to me that the writers now have a very specific path ahead of them, which as a lost fanatic fills me with encouragement. phew.

also as much as she's annoyed me, i hope charlotte doesn't do a minkowski on us.i mean she makes faraday so happy and a happy faraday is a happy me. nuke on the island. i'm thinking swan or tempest station.

in the picture, check how chilled faraday looks. i think he's jacob, he knows shit.

Damn It Feels Good to be a Gangster.

i really like "Office Space" i think it has the possibility of being one of those films that i continually rewatch. also it's use of hip hop makes me feel far cooler than i actually am. damn it feels good to be a gangster.

ahahaha. just found this, quite possibly one of my favourite things ever. goddamn he is a lucky gentleman.

Joe Oliver's Top Ten Grrrraphic Novels.

here is my brother, joe oliver's, top five graphic novels in no particular order.

he's gone off (16:15) to have a think, in order for him to be able to accurately compile his list.

my predictions are hellboy, v for vendetta, bone, the dark knight returns and, erm, the walking dead. oh and watchmen. possibly. we'll see how right, or wrong i am, soon. not that there will be any time difference as i'll just not post it until he's given me the full list, so y'know you have to imagine a process of time passing.

"these strange explosions hit me like a fist of light."

so, here goes i think...

hold on...

seeing as how i've now made him do them in a specific order it has buffed up to a ten. a top ten list..which is here. with a joint top one.

10 - "Ghost World" by Daniel Clowes.
09 - "Billy The Kid - a Lucky Luke Adventure" by Maurice & Goscinny.
08 - "Fluffy" by Simone Lia.
07 - "HellBoy Volume 1. The Library Collection" by Mike Mignola.
06 - "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Volume 2" by Alan Moore.
05 - "The Walking Dead. Days Gone By. Volume 1" by Robert Kirkman and Tom Moore.
04 - "Watchmen" by Alan Moore.
03 - "The Dark Knight Returns" by Frank Miller.

and Joint Number 01.

"Bone" by Jeff Smith & "V for Vendetta" by Alan Moore.

so, theres that then.

No One Else Will Find This Funny But Who Cares...

"I AM KENNETH BRANNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!"

DRAWING FACES ON RUBBERS AND BOUNCING THEM ACROSS THE FLOOR. CALLING ORHAN 'GRAHAM' AND LAUGHING ABOUT IT FOR HOURS. TALKING IN STUPID CORNISH ACCENTS. PRETENDING TO READ BUT REALLY BE SLEEPING. EATING FISHERMEN'S FRIENDS. COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW BAD FISHERMEN'S FRIENDS TASTE. LAUGHING AT/DEFENDING 'THAT SHIRT'. LOOKING AT THE PICTURES OF BRANAGH ON THE WALL. HIDING/SEARCHING YOUR PENCIL CASE. DOODELING. TALKING ABOUT 'WHAT BRANAGH WOULD DO'. MOANING ABOUT ROOM K BECAUSE WE CAN ONLY 'GET OUR LEARNING ON' IN ROOM D. SINGING/LAUGHING AT THE FALSE LUNCHTIME SONG. ASKING ORHAN IF HE WANTED A FIGHT. LAUGHING AT SOMEONE SNEEZING. BEING AFRAID TO OUR VERY CORE OF THAT SOMEONE. MAKING THE WORDS 'GET OUT' IN DRAWING PINS. DEVISING A SITCOM ABOUT TWO CHARACTERS FROM THE TEMPEST IN A 'ODD COUPLE DYNAMIC'. PLAYING WITH GLITTER. CRYING. SAYING THE WORD 'BYRON' IN A STUPID BABY VOICE. PLANNING TO CHANGE THE NATIONS CURRENCY TO 'PARTY BISCUITS' THEY'RE CALLED ' PARTY RINGS' WE COULDNT EVEN GET THE NAME RIGHT. DRAWING RUBBISH PICTURES INSTEAD OF MAKING USEFUL REVISION POSTERS. WONDERING IF ORHAN'S HAIR WOULD EVER CONNECT UP WITH HIS STUBBLE. RE-WRITING CLASSIC LITERATURE AND THEN LAUGHING ABOUT IT SO MUCH WE'D GET TOLD OFF FOR 'GIGGELING'. ENGAGING IN A FRANKLY RIDICULOUS BATTLE OF WILL AND WITS WITH 'ALLEN'. NOT WINNING. DISCUSSING WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT, MATT SHAW OR A HORSE...

Love is a curious thing.

i think the phrase "i love you" or words to that effect is slightly without meaning anymore. count the amount of times in a day that you hear someone say how much they love something or someone. people seem to be whores with their quotas of love somewhat.
the word seems to have no meaning now. as lovely as it is to hear someone say "i love you" or "you know who i love, _________" it doesn't seem to have the same meaning and mega deal ness that it used to do. like in old films and the like people would only say it as a last ditch attempt and after lots of trials and tribulations. but nowadays if someone dressed well or holds a door open for you or looks interesting in a bank queue or sends you an e-card you get the "i love you" treatment.
i think a new word needs to be invented a word that means more than love, so that people can keep using love in it's now frivolous form but in super special instances you can bust out the big guns and lay a new lovely word on someone. i don't know what it could be or how long it'd take for it to become common practise but i think it'd be good. tirade over.
