(no subject)

Looks like I'm going to get to talk about gay marriage and evolution on NewzViewz tonight. Muhahahaah. At least, I can shoehorn it in as long as an election topic makes the top 5 stories of the days. This is your hint.

Went to the old place last night and did some cleaning. There's still tons more to do, but I think I've finished nearly all the rescuing of things, which is good because I'm sore for dragigng a bag of stuffed animals, a katana and a bunch of bath products on the bus. No, really. I think my frankenboots are stll there, but I think everything else is mostly trash.

Off to work.

*cry*

I just had to explain to someone in the office that "Ms" was created to have a title for women that did not indicate their marital status. They thought it was merely a contraction for "Miss".

Perhaps there are so many women in PR and marketing, not because it's a "soft", verbal skill, but because the natureof being female is a life of self-marketing anyway, whether we wish it or not.

I have a lot more to say about this, in a more personal vein, that I will hopefully get to tonight.

People, _please_ go vote for today's stories on NewzViewz. We'll only talk about the top five on the bar at left. Please please pump up the election into that grouping so I can talk about gay stuff!

Thanks.

Can I rant about the utter awesomeness of this show again? It keeps getting better and better. I feel like I can't blink when watching it -- there's so much subtlety in the performances, so much that passes between characters in glances and flickers.

Watching the evolution of Caesar into a fool who believes his own PR is fascinating. His one on one interactions with Antony and Octavian and Brutus are just fascinating.

And Brutus -- my god, talk about a character I never wanted to like and certainly never would have drawn this way, and yet... poor creature. Too slippery to keep himself alive, because in the end he has no allies, he's just a tool. It's so mediocre, and he's such a child, he can't see how it's happened to him until it's too late. I mean, sure, I like him because his features are too sharp and not quite right besides and his teeth are crooked the way mine once were (mine were much worse actually), but I just have all this strange compassion for the poor bastard (and a lame crush on the actor, it would seem from the amount of time I just spent Googling the fellow. Oi).

And since it seems clear that Caesar will meet his end by the end of this seaon, it means next season will be all about Mark Antony and Octavian. Yay Max Pirkis. He's such a damn excellent actor, and I'm so excited he's getting to be more than a precocious kid in all this.

So good.
