It's Merlin day! And also, Impact day, but I remembered Merlin is tonight first, sooo. :)
They're apparently showing the first two episodes tonight, but since Impact is on at nine on whichever channel it's on, that means missing the Valiant episode. Eh, I have already seen it anyway, but I'm going to watch it anyway because I'm planning to watch all thirteen episodes (or at least all of the ones they air -- I've decided to be optimistic and pretend they'll give us all thirteen) through the website, since if they're going to take a British show and air it as is rather than stealing the concept, writing it worse, and casting it with Americans like they do most of the time, then the least I can do is reward them with hits. Especially for this show, damn it.

So this is what happened when I went to the cafe today:
-- The owner and the little Irish lady who waitresses complimented my hair.
-- They both asked me numerous times to come to the drumming circle on Wednesday.
-- And then they said I have GOT to come to TAPAS night when they have a belly dancer and exotic food.
-- Also I found out they have apple pie smoothies. OM NOM NOM.
In turn, I pimped my brother's comedy show on Thursday night. I guess he and a few other comedians from the club got together and organized a bigger show in Scranton. Last week he was emailing local papers with ads and posting signs all over the city for it. I've never seen him show this much initiative over anything other than video games, so it's kind of neat to see. :)

Every time I see the GOP getting on Obama's case about how cautious he's being on Iran, my ass begins to twitch. They're already killing protestors and making claims about how America's on the side of the protesters, I can only imagine how much more fun we'd get to see if America got any more loudmouthed about the situation than it already is. Fuck, when the Iranian human rights organizations are telling you to step the fuck off, it's probably better to listen.
*sigh* Watching all of the photos and videos from the protests is tiring. And I just can't bring myself to watch the Neda video. *shivers*

They're going to push forward the start of Merlin for the stupid U.S. Open, aren't they?
*headdesk*
(I'm lucky I'm home and not saying that in front of my mother. I'd be getting the death glare for insulting golf again. *eyeroll*)
EDIT: Thankfully, it doesn't look like it'll be too long, since they're calling it for darkness, but they're letting the people finish out their holes right now. *eyeroll*
OTHER EDIT: STFU, PEOPLE IN THE CROWD. "We want more! We want more!" It's DARK, you dumbasses. It's is 8:05 and there should be legendary blue-eyed British boys on my TV and THE COMMENTATORS WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT HOW DARK IT IS AND TIGER'S STILL FUCKING PLAYING.
WHINY EDIT: Oh, thank FUCK, it's over.
