"N is for Neville who died of ennui."

- RL's been busy lately and I feel really out of touch with fandom. I'm way behind on fic and I haven't watched any interviews in ages; have there been any good ones lately? And I feel terrible because I owe people fic and betas. :/ ([livejournal.com profile] jules2112, I wrote you something but it was made of fail and I can't bring myself to post it. I'll write you something better and try to get it done soon.)

- Also, it doesn't help that I'm actually incredibly bitter about Naomi almost certainly not getting her own episode this series. I have a whole rant brewing, but I'll spare you - mainly because I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that she will get episode eight after all. I just wish it was official, you know? (Um, unless it already is, and I've just missed the news.)

- I've been rediscovering Fiona Apple lately. Or, well, mostly I've been listening to Shadowboxer on repeat. That song! ♥

- I've been getting into American Idol this year. \o/ I love stupid shows like this and The X Factor, even when I hate them. My favourite so far is Siobhan, because she's so awesome and weird. I mean, she's a glass-blowing apprentice with a Gashlycrumb Tinies tattoo - what's not to love? Also enjoying Crystal, Didi, Katelyn, and Janell's legs.

- Freddie's episode tonight. I don't know about you, but I can hardly contain my excitement.

That bugs me too, that ALL the guys get two episodes and none of the girls do except Effy. And it completely baffles me, because everyone knows that the girls are so much more interesting than the boys this gen.

Katie/JJ would have been AMAZING. Rather than introduce a new love interest for him, they could have made Katie/JJ work and it would have been so much better. Well, okay, I've not actually seen JJ's ep yet, but as a general rule existing characters > new characters.
