1) I will talk about the Henry Rollins gig eventually, I am still pondering a few things.

2) Being Human was awesome! Madly odd, but awesome. You know how a lot of shows have a couple of boring episodes in the middle as they shift between arcs. Being Human does away with that by cramming more than is entirely reasonable into every episode, so by now, at the end of the second episode, they've covered more ground than most shows do in who seasons. And all the character arcs are inter-related so there's not the same jumpiness. There was a really cool moment where [spoiler] left and I was all like well [spoiler] is going to be grabbed by either the evil religious scientists, the vampires or the forces of darkness as yet unconfirmed that are after Annie. Housemate P did pretty much hold his head and go 'there is no way they're going to cover all of this properly'. But I think they will.

3) I am now on day 4 of no tea, coffee or cola. Sanity may eventually be restored, but thankfully I think I'm over the worst of the headache.
