Sometimes I do still watch television.

QI so far this season has had seven female guest panelists and only five male (as opposed to a previous ratio of something less than 1:10). What happened? Did Stephen Fry lose a bet with Sandi Toksvig or something?

I am enjoying the hell out of it, anyway. They are fixing the main thing that was wrong with that show! And it's been entertaining to watch Stephen over the course of the season slowly realizing what they've been missing out on all these years. And realizing just how much more I enjoy a panel show when there are at least two women on it, talking to each other. (Which I kind of know already because I've been following some of the Radio 4 panel shows, which have always been better on the gender balance.)

Don't read the youtube comments, though.

(also I am enjoying the hell out of imagining Stephen Fry repeatedly losing bets with Sandi Toksvig, let's be honest.)

Also I watched The Angels Take Manhattan and ( non-specific spoilers )

...I am supposed to be finishing my Big Bang draft tonight, can you tell?


Also I bought a copy of The Game of Kings at a book sale today. People talk about Dunnett on DW all the time, so I thought it was worth a quarter. Somehow I had acquired the impression that the Lymond Chronicles were a high fantasy epic from the mid-90s, I was very confused when I found this 1963 paperback romance. You people need to be more specific. :P

p.s.: I am still giving people recipes on my previous post!

p.p.s.: I have finished sorting my mp3s! That only took three years. Now to make proper backups and all that...
