Cold Play.

Why is everyone on hiatus? My Friends page has been terribly quiet lately. Come back to me, people! Real life doesn't deserve you.

But Top Gear of the Pops! Oh my God, hearts.

Of course, the fact that it's after the watershed means that Jeremy can shout "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" This somehow suits him.

Jeremy looked so utterly, adorably terrified during the drumming. SERIOUSLY, JEREMY CLARKSON, HOW ON EARTH CAN YOU BE SO UNBEARABLY CUTE? And he serenaded an audience member! (Jeremy Clarkson cannot sing, but this does not change the fact that he needs to sing so much more.) And he ruined everything, and I love him.

Hammond spent an awful lot of a song about oh-God-what-have-I-got-myself-into love gazing adoringly at Jeremy. And by 'adoringly' I mean 'in amusement, probably hoping that he would drop his drumsticks again'. Regardless: hee! (I am a bit upset that I sort of missed the bass-fingering everyone is talking about because I was so busy thinking 'honestly, Hammond, can't you keep your eyes off Clarkson for a second?' and also 'JEREMY IS THE CUTEST EVER'.)

Hammond's enthusiastic grin while operating the wind machine was absolutely adorable, and I loved that they just couldn't keep cars out of the News. And the pink bra on Jeremy's drumkit! I didn't actually notice it while watching, but it's just good to know it was there.

And, finally, I would like to reiterate that Jeremy was insanely cute when he was desperately counting. Because he was.

I didn't see The Apprentice (in fact, I've never seen it), either, which is just as well, really, because I don't need Zombie!Piers stumbling out of his grave to harass me again.

But zombie!Piers got fired by Sir Alan Sugar - it was brilliant!! Especially when Alisatir Campbell said "What? Again?!"

I have looked briefly at TGS, then gone away for a lie-down and a whimper because THERE IS TOO MUCH TO READ!! However, I adore your crack!fic, so I'll be hunting that down first off.

Hee, thank you! I shall assist in your hunting-down:

A Richard/James fic that is actually not on crack, good Lord.

Then, erm, the crackfic: Assassin!AU, Pokémon crossover, genderswap and bodyswap. Yes. IN MY DEFENCE, THE LAST TWO WERE RESPONSES TO CHALLENGES.

(Also, I'd like to recommend dracothelizard's genderswap and bodyswap fics, because the first is hilarious and the second manages to make Jeremy/Top Gear Dog, of all pairings, utterly adorable.)

I think I've now found (and commented on) all the crack!fic mentioned - thanks for the links. When you've been ill, there's nothing like crack!fic to trigger a relapse make you feel better. :)
