Before I begin, I just thought I'd have a quick rant about my blog title. What is it you ask? OK, so ya didn't, cos, yeah, it sounds ridiculous. Well, it's a lyric. A fooking lyric. Who writes these pieces of ****?! It regularly plays at work and my stomach is starting to really hurt from all of the cringing. Grr, arrgh!
On a brighter note, and I mean that quite literally, hello from my back garden! Just enjoying the sun with Massive Attack's greatest hits playing in the background, it's brilliant. I have work in a few hours but I don't really care because this.is.the.life. :D
Last week I went out with a friend for lunch, we go out every so often to different places around Dublin, and we had a great time. I usually order a main meal of side orders (I know, I'm everyone's worst nightmare) but this time, at The Banks restaurant, I got a meal. She was pleasantly shocked. I was too :P I love salmon and they had this salmon dish with some snazzy sounding sauce I couldn't pronounce (much to my friend's amusement) on a bed of potato with parsnips and such mixed in. Twas nice. Although the banoffi (my first banoffi experience) topped it all. It only cost me 30 for a three course meal, it was well worth it.
Later that night I went to my regular for a few (ok, more than a few...) drinks. At 3 euro a drink - ANY DRINK - I couldn't help myself. It was epic.
Will & Grace: Season Three
Personally, I think this is the funniest season from the show. It all just clicks into place so well and there's not a character onscreen, introduced as a guest star or reoccurring, I can say I disliked. It all just worked. Admittedly, the season's best episodes are towards the beginning, the first seven or so episodes are pure gold, and while in comparison the remainder are not so up to scratch they still retain that quality stamp of entertainment.
It's also the season that manages to balance the characters brilliantly. In the later seasons Will and Grace become bogged down by uninteresting "real life" matters, making them whiny and not so much with the funny, with Karen and Jack manning the ship with their always dependable, always hilarious banter. Here, however, Will and Grace made me laugh just as much as Jack and Karen, although J&K got the best lines and moments for sure. Also, any show that references Buffy several times within one episode deserves praise :P
Best episode
"Three's A Crowd, Six is A Freak Show"
This is a perfect example of the series getting it right. Grace has a hilarious shallow main-plot while Jack and Will fight over a guy (showcasing one of Jack's funniest moments EVER!) and Karen randomly pops up and just effortlessly steals every scene. Grace's toe parts at the end are superb, Grace rarely gets funnier material!
Best character
"To quote Morgan Freeman in almost any movie: You should listen to me white girl." :lol: So true.
It's every writers dream, really...to be able to write a character who can and will bash anything and anyone. Heh. Seriously, though, while Karen is definitely the cruellest of the bunch, she's the glue that holds the group together. I especially enjoy her moments where she's the one who points out the seriousness of the situation or the fact she actually admires Grace and appreciates Will. It's times like that make her the most likeable character to dislike :P Oh who am I kiddin' I love the woman!
Well, I gotta get ready for work. To speed things up: I also bought a new laptop and am making a cool Buffy vid to go with my Buffy blog. Buffy. Buffy. Buffy. OK, I'm done.
Jack meets Cher :lol:
Bye!
