Wot's All This Then?
I just realized: Currently no less than six (6!) of my front page posts deal with British television, British celebrities, or British people.

I should just give up and immigrate already.

That wouldn't be giving up!


That would be frickin' sweeeet.

Last night in the shower, I had the revelation that watching Britmedia (and, by extension, the British Acting Mafia) is like that scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy wakes up and is all, "And you were there. And you were there! And you!"

So, like, if you moved to England, you'd be Dorothy, and Chris Eccleston would be Scarecrow, and David Tennant would be the Tin Man and James Nesbitt would be the Cowardly Lion. That would be awesome. Dude, you should totally move to England already.

P.S. Your favorite dog is feeling better. And he is clean and fluffy and looking forward to Whosday.

OMG. Best analogy EVER. I don't know if I ever told you this, but I am in love with the Wizard of Oz. First movie I can clearly remember watching, still my all time favorite. So mere idea of combining my favorite movie with the British Acting Mafia is like, ecstasy.

Now, where would we put Richard Coyle? Maybe he's be the funny doorman (Who rang that bell?! I've got too many legs!) or the guy who pulls the horse of a different color. I'd make him speak in a Welsh accent though.

Meanwhile, in real life, there's THIS. Which I am admittedly really excited about.

Silly girl. Richard Coyle would be in my pants. We all know the answer to that. Pshaw.

Oooh, Jeffrey.
Hello, Daddy.

Oh, and Tim Roth and Gary Oldman would be there. Only as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

Oh, and Judi Dench...so the the wicked witch of the west...or Ozma. Yes!

Judi Dench would be Glenda the good witch, not the wicked witch. But she wouldn't be all fluffy-fairy-pansy, she'd be all "I'm gonna kick the wicked witch's ass" and be making some glib comment while she was at it! "Well, EightK, good for you! It appears you've dropped a house on the wicked witch of the East. A house wouldn't have been my personal choice, smarmy git deserved far worse if you ask me, but it will do!"

KATIE. STFU. YOU DID NOT JUST REVEAL TO ME A PASSION FOR THE WIZARD OF OZ. The annual showing of it on CBS was a fricking holiday in my house when I was a kid. I have some of the best associations ever with that movie (BUT I AM STILL SCARED OF FLYING MONKEYS, OMG).

Why haven't we discussed this before?!?!

You are, like, the most ace person ever. You're almost -- almost! -- as ace as the horse of a different color, which has never failed to make me giddy throughout my life. Because, I mean, holy shit: word play (even as a child, I was destined to be an editor) AND ponies! How can you possibly top that?!?!?
