Oooh, LJ looks different. Very funky. Laid-back, almost.

Coming to work this morning I had the internal chant of “Homicide – Lance - Song” so that I wouldn’t forget what I wanted to post this morning.

Homicicde

Saw the presentation on Homicide: Life on the Street last night and was highly impressed. Great shots, lovely scenes, dialogue that feels very true and natural. I just need to keep reminding myself:

1. I don’t really like cop shows. Crossing Jordan is the closest I come and that’s for the quirky characters more than anything else. Hence, even if it’s a character-driven cop show, I’m probably going to tire of it quickly.

2. I’m not reading fic for a show I haven’t seen. I’m not.

3. If I’m going to catch up on a TV series that’s no longer showing, I should concentrate on Farscape. Less hassle to get my hands on and I know I already love the characters. (Although, since seeing Frank Pembleton, if that’s right, lying around reading and listening to Lou Reed I’m already fond of him.)

4. It’ll break my heart. I’ll love it and then it will take my still-beating heart out of my chest and pulverise it. I’ve been warned. I don’t need a fandom like that.

Lance

Was slightly surprised that while watching Zoolander, I had a moment of going “Hey, that’s Lance”. I double checked the credits and realised I was right. Okay, I need to back away from popslash now if that’s how quickly it sinks into your consciousness.

Song

Talking to mum this morning, we were discussing personal theme songs. (Don’t ask how we got on to that. I have no idea.) Basically, I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I’ve realised what mine is. It’s Billy Joel’s “My Life”. It’s a lot like me, cheery, basically upbeat and lots of fun to sing along to. Plus, it’s pretty much my attitude to life. Live and let live. You can live how you want, as long as you back off and let me live the way I want. You can do what you want, but I don’t have to be a part of it.

I feel oddly satisfied. *g*

So, I’d like to know your theme songs. Think about it, and leave a message in the comments, or post to LJ and tell me your theme song. (Mum’s was “(I did it) My Way” which does suit her well.) If possible, leave a link to the lyrics, too.

Well, that’s my attempt of starting a meme, let’s see if it works.
