Ok, so this is a little late (by over a week) but ASHES TO ASHES IS OVER NOOOOOO GENE HUNT AND CO. ARE NEVER COMING BACK TO GRACE OUR TV SCREENS AGAIN. Yeah, so now that I've got that out I'm a little happier. The finale though was amazing. I thought the ending was cool and that they wrapped it up nicely. and the Galex fans got what they wished for (I don't ship characters so...).
and tonight's Doctor Who episode was quite emotional, but Bill Nighy's in next week's episode so I'm looking forward to that (I did a double take when I saw him in the trailer).
I've also been watching the original series of The Prisoner (instead of Firefly - sorry Livvi) and it's so trippy and brilliant and the village is so happy yet sinister. I've seen six episodes so far which is more than any other television show I've watched online. I fail at watching things online.
Also I watched the Eurovision song contest tonight - our entry was awful. I wonder who'll win. I'm not staying up for the voting though.

Pacman Google.
Today if you visit Google you will notice that it has a Pacman themed logo. Not only that, you can actually PLAY it. Unfortunately I've never been that great at Pacman, so having the bits to collect in the "G" and "e" make it harder.
Also, it's the final ever episode of Ashes to Ashes tonight. I finally get to know what the hell is going on! Well, I still have another two hours to wait. Arghhh. I will however miss Gene Hunt & co. I've been told I should watch the pilot episode of the US Life on Mars as it's in the "so bad it's good" territory. The first episode of the actual US LOM was "so bad it's horrible" (why yes I have been spending my time on TV Tropes. Excellent form of procrastination), so I will not be continuing to watch the rest of that. There's also a Spanish LOM and a Russian one in the works. We just need a Japanese anime version and a stop motion version to complete the set.

3 down, quite a few more to go.
Today I did my general studies exam. I'm not entirely sure how well I think I did in it. The same is true for the critical thinking paper I did yesterday. The art exam however went well I feel.
Anyway I went to the library today to give back V for Vendetta and Watchmen and went to see if they had The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as I would like to read that next. Neither of the libraries had it. However the second library I went to had this big book of Marvel Horror which I want to get out after exams, just to get into Marvel as all the graphic novels I have read so far and all the movie adaptations of comic book characters (apart from Hellboy (which I saw a couple of weekends ago. I really want to see Hellboy 2 now. Guillermo del Toro is just amazing)) have been DC and I feel I really need to balance this out. I also saw a load of sci-fi novels I want to get out (mainly Philip K. Dick and H. G. Wells) but didn't due to exams (I've made myself a rule that I can only read graphic novels or non-serious novels during exams. I'm not entirely sure why.) - I've just realised I haven't read a sci-fi novel in absolutely ages. Most of my reading in the past year has consisted of Discworld novels (and yes, I did get another one out the library today as I haven't read one in a few months. I got Hogfather out as it's one of the most famous and yet I've not read it) and I've just been too distracted to get some other, non-Discworld novels out. Hope those brackets haven't confused you.
Also, I'm sure you've all heard the very sad news that Ronnie James Dio passed away on Sunday. He was such an amazing vocalist and it's such a shame he's gone.
