Of RL and TV

1.I had a Very Important Appointment yesterday after work and as a result I sorta have my own flat! It's been months in the making and that's it, it's official now! I'm actually going back to the sources since it's where I grew up. It's pretty much brand new, I'll just have to do some minor renovating, which I'll start next week - new wallpaper for the bedroom, stuff like that - and then it'll be ready for me to move in! I won't be ready before a couple of months, though, I sorta need furniture and, well, everything you need to live in your home but I'm thinking this summer at the latest :-)

The timing is pretty nice, too, since I took four and half days off for Easter break - what with Monday being bank holiday, it means I'll go back to work on the 16th, which seems a lifetime away so yay! vacation! - so I'll be able to work at the flat during my break. Things are going even faster than I expected, it's all so exciting!

2. Hey, The Cellie invited me to La Nouvelle Star [French Idol] on Wednesday. She had one spare ticket and thought I might enjoy coming with her and her friends. I had other plans already so I declined but I thought it was very sweet of her... I've been invited to the next show as well, though I don't think I'll be able to go either. I usually never watch La Nouvelle Star but Teacher Girl is a fan and so I've been following the first castings from afar... I might even have watched one episode on my own volition and everything.

3. I've just finished watching The Black Donnellys - yes, I'm home btw, this afternoon was my 1/2 day off - and I loved the episode, no surprise here.

Kevin's reason for believing he's lucky was the most heartbreaking and also sweetest reason ever! I always wondered about it and they so delivered! Kevin, I love you so ♥ ♥

And Jimmy! God, Jimmy, you totally floored me with your giving the money to Sean - without telling anyone about it and thus letting people think you were being a jerk as usual - and with your speech. His "Bob the Mouth belongs where he belongs, he doesn't count. Now you and me and Kevin and Tommy, that's all that counts" killed me dead *loves*

They used Death Cab for Cutie's Brothers on a Hotel Bed! The episode already had won, like, a gazillion points for merely existing, but it won some bonus points with that one.

I just can't come to terms with the whole cancellation thing, that show is so bloody awesome! Kevin, what will I do without you now? *cries* And what of the rest of the family! And Nicky! I loved Nicky - it's the Italian side of me that can't help being attracted by mafiosi when they're on the telly, it's like a compulsion - and his voice *sigh*

4. Some good news re: another of my favourite under-appreciated shows - except that one wasn't pulled off the air : season two of Kyle XY should premiere on June, 11th? I'll be in Norway by then but it'll be a nice thing to come back to *g*

Hey, congrats on the flat. *g* Happy renovating and don't fall off ladders or step into paint buckets (which both happened to me while renovating my first own apartment). :-)
