he's a lovely big monkey, it's very sad.



the first episode of the graham norton effect happened today, so we watched gayboy tv and ate british food and drank tea. i don't like clotted cream, but not for the reason that i thought i would not like it. (it wasn't even awful; it just wasn't good.) tea is wonderful though, as are poofs, and jam with scones.

I was not pleased with the clotted cream. ALso, my expectations of the gooey stuff were never very high to begin with because of the term "clotted".

Silly Brits.

But nonethelesss, ranch dressing was oddly a delicious approach when eating scones.

Silly Americans.

i hoped to like it, but alas, did not. i feel that the failing is mine, and not britain's. :P

ugh! *laughs*

He is.

A monkey that is.

(it is a quote from one of the new york episodes of v. graham norton in which he described the film king kong to an asian american man whose name was actually king kong. it played one of the times that i was in london.)

I remember it:) That Chinese man did not deserve to be on So Graham Norton. He was entirely too pleasant and amenable.

every time liz and i try to get tickets to a show, we're thwarted. *sigh* we've tried three times, now.

Write him a flouncy and poutful letter.

also, i thought it was absurd that you were awake, but then i realized that it is actually absurd that i am awake, and that you've slept by now.

I think I am actually offended by the term "gayboy."

what about it don't you like?

[identity profile] johnnywar.livejournal.com 2004-06-26 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's a little reductive, particularly the "boy" part.

I just feel it's especially "othering."

I am offended by your use of the term "gayboy."

Oh I love Graham Norton. I am so happy they didn't water down the show TOO much for American TV!
