Super Tiny Television Post!

[themadpoker]

I figured out a show I can watch while fasting! =DDDD Basically I've been watching stuff after iftar and going to bed at like 1 or 2 because apparently I have reached the point where my day is incomplete without at least an episode or two of TV. But! I borrowed the second season of The Sarah Jane Adventures from the library yesterday. It's lots of fun and about as G-rated as you can get so I officially have daytime television again. \o/ I miss Maria but I think from what I've seen of Rani so far she'll work out fine. Also it's nice to see an Indian family on TV. It's like a tiny taste of home (the neighbourhood I've lived in the past ten years is like 50% Desi)

Also I really really need to stop reading Doctor Who fic soon. >_> I keep looking at my Susan Pevensie file and feeling bad because I am supposed to be reading about her! And finishing my post! Bad bad procrastinating Zeineb.

This post is totally getting dedicated to you, you are like my Susan inspiration. ♥♥

Now if I could just y'know, stop clicking every Doctor Who link I see mentioning Martha Jones we could get in business here! /o\

Also stop getting ridiculously fannish about Mockingjay, that would be good too. (I recorded my own version of one of the songs in the book, what is wrong with me, why am I going so obsessive, I didn't even love it that much on my first read!)

D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. You reminded me of my Susan love, so it's all you, bb!

OKAY, EVERYWHERE I GO I KEEP HEARING ABOUT THIS "MOCKINGJAY". WHAT IS IT (OTHER THAN A BOOK)? WHY IS IT SO AWESOME? SHOULD I READ IT (WELL, OBVS YOU'RE GOING TO SAY YES, BUT WHYYYYYYYY?).

YOU SHOULD TOTALLY READ IT.

Okay so Mockingjay is the final book in a trilogy by Suzanne Collins (it's usually referred to by the name of the first book, The Hunger Games). It is totally awesome future dystopia type deal where a girl named Katniss chooses to fight in the Hunger Games in place of her sister. The Hunger Games are a televised fight to the death between 24 people randomly chosen from the twelve districts that compose the futuredystopic!United States.

An important thing to know is that Katniss Everdeen is AWESOME and is totally determined to survive no matter what she has to do. If this requires acting out a fake romance with her other District 12 competitor in order to garner audience sympathy so be it! There's some really cool commentary going on about war and media and reality tv throught the three books.

Also since the last book is now out you will not have to go through the agonizing wait the rest of the fandom had waiting for Mockingjay. AUGUST 24 WAS A REALLY LONG TIME COMING.

If you read them and start feeling fannish about them you should come talk to me! Significant parts of The Hunger Games fandom is kind of dumb and does not know how to appreciate the awesomeness contained in the books (hence my need to write like two posts arguing against said fandumb).

THE HUNGER GAMES. Okay, yes, now I understand why everyone is in such a fuss. I didn't realize it was part of that series!

I'll add it to my ever-growing list. =D
