I think I even had season 1 on pre-order. Today I found out that they've released season 2 already! Season 3 is on the way later this month. On Region 1, I might add. Region free players ftw. Things I wouldn't mind for my birthday (next month, remember?): o:) Animaniacs are great. (The actor can actually sing that song ^^ still, without the lyrics. Impressive? Hell yes!)

Towel Day

It's that time of year again! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day When I have anything interesting to report about this, I will.

Britain have some of those people too. There's Trisha, for instance, and recently, I've come across Jeremy Kyle. It's interesting to compare British and American trailer trash TV (because let's face it, the people who go on those shows don't exactly live in Kensington or Orange County). Americans are a lot more vivid with the "talk to the hand 'cause the face ain't lis'nin'!" and the gesture that goes with it, whereas it seems the Brits tend to more often be inclined to walk off stage and sulk and be coaxed back out. Oh, much less comments from the audience in Britain as well. The thing I like with Jeremy Kyle is that he's not easy on the people who go on the show. He has an opinion and he's not afraid to use it. Where Ricki Lake would go :O over something, he
