bollywood and the magical powers of nick briggs

[prof_pangaea]

so i came home from work the other night and colin and mudha47 were watching the end of a bollywood movie called salaam-e-ishq: a tribute to love and i saw this dude, akshaye khanna:



and immediately thought of this dude, nick briggs:



i've definitely been wanting to watch more bollywood with mudha47. is it wrong to want to watch some akshaye khanna cos he reminds me of nick briggs? if so then i fear i am a wrong person. D:

i also saw the preview to the upcoming torchwood season three recently, and was incredibly underwhelmed (um... isn't this plot just ripped off of every other episode of sarah jane adventures, except instead of watching the awesome kid actors i'd have to watch john barrowman?) until there was an unexpected clip of nick briggs near the end. dammit! the bastard is magic. he made me want to watch torchwood. TORCHWOOD.


meanwhile, thanks for all the well-wishes for my face. it's doing much better! just a wee bit bruised and most of the swelling's gone. yawning and chewing still hurt, but much less. i found a number for a crime victim's services department here in wisconsin, so i'll be calling them tomorrow about my glasses. haven't heard anything further from the cops, but then again, i didn't think i would, so no surprises there.

no one has said, "hey, sorry about YOUR FACE" to me, which is a shame since it was the most perfect situation possible. seriously, people, these opportunities don't arise every day.

I know, right? Urgh :(

I'm glad you're feeling better!

i'm genuinely confused as to why torchwood has a plot that seems so child-centric, when it's trying to draw a purely adult audience. unless it really isn't anymore.

and thanks! :D

we can make a GIANT BOWL of popcorn and dance about to fun songs! i would like to do these things.

also we should have a doctor who night some time as well. we could have multiple who nights, with different themes: "episodes where aliens use new technology to try and invade the earth", "episodes with inappropriately phallic-shaped props or characters", "episodes where the doctor virtually has sex with the TARDIS console onscreen", "episodes where the master tries to prove his gay love for the doctor by taking over something" (which would be... every master episode, i think. hmmm).
