The Late(st) Shift / Lyrics of Your Eschaton

00:16 / 22.12.12

I've got a glass of red and some white fudge oreos and I don't have to be up tomorrow. Come be stupid insomniacs, for auld lang syne?

00:26 / 22.12.12

Morning here, but I've been up all night, so still late. And this thread's as good an excuse to pour a drink as anything.

What's new in the post-apocalypse, shifters?

00:45 / 22.12.12

The only thing particularly apocalyptic about today in my vicinity has been a day-long wind storm. Like "no you can't be the Banks children's nanny, that's going to be Mary Poppins' job" windy.

Oh man, I wish I could stay and shift with you guys bu I gotta go see a Jungle aboutt a thing. Raise a glass for me and give the old place some old-fashioned barbelove!

01:35 / 22.12.12

The crazy winds stopped here, so now we just have frozen breezes. Thankfully, I'm back inside with a nice bottle of overpriced whiskey, reheating some rice noodles and lamb.

The layout here still looks, to me, what the internet's supposed to look like. Don't know if it's nostalgia, but it tastes like it.

22:27 / 22.12.12

Drinking the very worst of wine. THE VERY WORST.

And listening to my in-laws watch A Shot in the Dark in the living room and just wishing to God they'd go back to their hotel so I can catch up on Fringe.

22:48 / 22.12.12

I'm catching up on American Horror Story myself, but the Chardonnay I have is pretty nice. No in laws here, just a fluffy cat above my head.

22:54 / 22.12.12

Evening all.

My day: I've braved work, braved the floods, arrived home and stolen half an hour or so while my baby daughter is asleep to post this brilliant silliness.

22:55 / 22.12.12

Which season of American Horror Story?

I finished the first one not too long ago--okay well, once I saw how they were going to end the last episode, I only watched the first half hour and said, "Fuck it, if you are going to go balls out crazy during the rest of the time, don't give me some weird-ass morality play the last episode"--and am unsure if I want to continue on to season 2.

22:58 / 22.12.12

Is American Horror Story worth getting into, then? More to the point, is it worth me plunking down money so I can see some?

22:58 / 22.12.12

AHS: Asylum, and it is absolutely ridiculous. It's absurd. I can't even without spoilers.

Hiya Seth!

23:03 / 22.12.12

It's totally worth watching if you want to see Ryan Murphy and writing crew decide that each episode should out-crazy the previous episode. It really is a fun show because I was amazed at what FX allowed them to get away with. If you view it from "OH COME ON" standpoint, you will not regret it.

The Return Of Rothkoid

23:10 / 22.12.12

I went to a wedding last night so I'm still in bed, and it's just gone midday. Pretty good track record I suppose.

23:12 / 22.12.12

The oh-come-on-ing in Asylum blows the oh-come-on-ing of the first season out of the water. There are random sudden left turns in the plot that remind me of some Takashi Miike movies.

23:13 / 22.12.12

There is something about seeing you, Rothky, in this context, that just warms my lil' heart.

23:15 / 22.12.12

Mazarine, my best friend keeps telling me Asylum outdoes the first season. I just don't know if I am ready to commit to that level of WTF-ery right now.

Probably this summer, yes, though.

23:18 / 22.12.12

I will have to do this AHS thing, then. Always room for some OH COME ON and one-upping television.

I've got a few odd shows (X-Files, Corner Gas, Robotech) on disc, but otherwise, if I don't want to sit puzzling out a program in a wide selection of four asian languages, I have to watch Australian soap dramas and those are, well, something I don't want to do anymore.

The Return Of Rothkoid

23:21 / 22.12.12

Aw, likewise Maz.

It's certainly less HELLO REAL LIFE PICTURES than Faceplace.

I think today will contain GOZLEME and WALLANDER in that order. I am enjoying rumpled Branagh inordinately much.

The Return Of Rothkoid

23:22 / 22.12.12

I am almost ready to go on the AHS train...

wembley can change in 28 days

23:24 / 22.12.12

Asylum lives up to its name, both in that it is crazy, and in that you see more bare asses on that show than in a YMCA locker room.

23:44 / 22.12.12

I am awake for reasons of stupid... my circadian rhythm has a tendency to flip out in the dark winters here in Finland, and I'm so unemployed at the moment that not spending any money leads to much timewastage involving Minecraft and reading the Internet. Tonight would have been one of those nights where you actually feel like you've read the whole internet.

Instead, I started reading Zionist bloggers and just about had a coronary. Take me to the kittens of late night, Barbelith.

23:49 / 22.12.12

DRINKIN MOTHERFUCKIN GIN!!!

Ahh, Late Shift, how I have missed you.

Just watched the last episode of Dr Who (to catch up in time for Christmas) and probably cried a bit more than was necessary.

00:00 / 23.12.12

Lateshift: Making me pour whisky and unwrap moon pies since... whatever year I started shifting.

00:02 / 23.12.12

I am resolute in my determination to try this AHS now. The place that demanded I watch Gurren Lagann cannot steer me wrong on television.

00:14 / 23.12.12

Well, seeing as Stoatie's been Moffatted and Wembley's been interneted, let's have some cute in here. Let's see if I can still remember how to do images so that they don't break the layout...

There. Baby pangolin.

Kali-ma, what else have you been watching lately? My latest guilty pleasure is, god help me, Teen Wolf.

00:17 / 23.12.12

AWWWWW!

I tried to do an otter .gif on the main thread yesterday, but I couldn't remember how. And now the otter's run off. Flighty, they are.

00:21 / 23.12.12

Cudddddles.

It's a bit late for me to contribute anything terribly substantive to the board at this late date.

00:21 / 23.12.12

Dying of squee.

00:25 / 23.12.12

Let's see, recent TV I am enjoying:

Fringe (whose most recent episode I finally got to watch and my God, what an amazing show; so sad that this is it for them)

Supernatural (because I like hot guys and cheesiness)

Obviously, the first season of AHS except for the last thirty minutes of the season finale

Grimm (again with the cheese!)

Once Upon a Time (which is better than expected but Begbie saves it for me when it gets too up its own ass)

Peep Show

...and that seems to be all right now. I am going to see if they have The Killing on Netflix (the original, not the US remake).

00:33 / 23.12.12

<3

That's what I miss about Barbelith! Stealing images of cute as soon as they're posted.

00:36 / 23.12.12

TV?

You wanna talk about TV?

IT'S STILL OVER HALF A YEAR UNTIL BREAKING BAD COMES BACK.

And THAT, in a nutshell, is why I'm glad the Apocalypse didn't happen.

00:37 / 23.12.12

Ah, Kali, glad you're loving Peep Show. I was a late adopter on that one myself, but HOLY FUCK is it good.

And I'd feel bad if after saying on Twitter that you'd love it if you'd watched it and hated it and wasted your time.

00:37 / 23.12.12

Ooh, you might like Teen Wolf quite a bit then, as it is fraught with cheese. It's like France up in there.

00:41 / 23.12.12

The waiting makes it better, Stoatie. At least, that's what you have to tell yourself. The waiting must make it better.
