Sorry, but this does seem to be more of a "birthweek" celebration this year, I tend to get handed things, respond in a puzzled fashion for a few seconds, then say, "Oh yes, right, thanks!" I must thank [livejournal.com profile] odogoddess and [livejournal.com profile] chazpure for the wonderful Jamba Juice card! I am currently putting it to very good use with my new favorite Grape Escape one. Yum!

Many thanks as well to [livejournal.com profile] jakejr for my copy of "V for Vendetta", which I'll be receiving soon. I'm totally serious about us sitting down to watch it together, hon, and my inner anarchist is doing a happy dance in celebration already.

And of course, [livejournal.com profile] aelfsciene who got me a beautiful, hand signed print by an artist whose works I was unfamiliar with before, but am definitely intrigued with now. The piece is called "The High Priestess", which just happens to be my significator card in the Tarot deck. It's gorgeous. She also found this graphic novel version of Oscar Wilde's "Salome", a particular favorite of mine. The artwork is just stunning and I can't wait to get a chance to read it cover to cover.

Actually had the time last night to CLEAN MY DAMN APARTMENT, for the first time in forever. It felt disturbingly satisfying. Also dismantled my Frankensteinian A/V hook up so that it's all down to one dvd recorder and the cable box. Tossed my VCR into a box with some other random stuff and slid Dumbledore ([livejournal.com profile] ravenmb's TiVo that I'm babysitting for a few months) into its place. Hopefully with her help I'll get it up and running on Sunday and be back in business.

Sadly, because of my new set up, I wasn't able to record "Hex" last night, which might have been worth having for the lesbian sex scene at the beginning...but that was about it. When the best thing you can say about a show is that the only semi-interesting character in it is dead, you probably shouldn't be watching it. I just don't like the characters, don't really give a damn about the story, and couldn't care less about the whole mystery behind all the goings on. And if anybody watched it and can explain to me the physics that govern ghosts in that world, can you please comment me here? As far as I could tell they were just all over the place without any rhyme or reason.

Ok so it might be horrid, but I have to say that I'm all but giddy about BBC America's new series "Hex" which starts June 8th at 10 pm:

Set in a remote British boarding school, Hex is the story of Cassandra "Cassie" Hughes (Christina Cole), a shy social outcast who discovers she has unique powers that provide a terrifying link to the past.

Longing to be popular, but only truly loved by her lesbian roommate Thelma (Jemima Rooper, Kinky Boots), Cassie goes to great lengths to be accepted by the "in crowd" at her cliquish English boarding school, Medenham Hall. Thelma, who couldn't care less about being ostracized, is appalled at Cassie's attempts to fit in with the superficial classmates who treat them so badly.

While stopping for a cigarette in one of the old buildings on campus, Cassie's future is forever altered when she unearths hidden ancient artifacts - a discovery that leaves her cursed with supernatural powers that have their roots deep in Medenham Hall's history. As she begins to recognize the extent of her new abilities, Cassie is bewildered and terrified by the visions that haunt her. She soon discovers that there are certain advantages to being a student endowed with mystical powers, when she learns how to manipulate the people and situations around her.

However, Cassie realizes that her new gift comes with a price. Her tragic fate is sealed with the appearance of Azazeal (Michael Fassbender, Band of Brothers), the leader of a group of fallen angels who were banished from heaven for tasting the pleasures of mortal women. Azazeal kidnaps Thelma in a bid to get to the one human sacrifice he's really concerned with, Cassie. But when Cassie confronts him and demands to see her friend, it's Thelma who pays the ultimate price.


Witches, fallen angels, ancient artifacts and lesbian British schoolgirls? It's like they made this show for me! The single commercial I saw for it had me squealing like a school girl already.
