A year (or more) in my life (centered around T.B.)

This is a spur-of-the-moment blog. Deal with it. :)

So it's 6 June 2009 and here I am, sitting in the sitting room watching the telly because... BBC's Robin Hood is on. It's a brand new episode and it is going into Robin's past (when his dad was still alive). I see the young Robin and the young Guy of Gisborne and his wretched sister. I think absolutely nothing about any of the young characters except for a passing thought that Guy is cuter when he was younger and the lad who plays the young Robin is adorable but Jonas is still the best (and better looking) Robin. (He's Irish, OF COURSE he's better looking!)


Skip ahead to 1 January 2010. The day Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging finally premiered in the United States on Nickelodeon. (Okay, so I cheated the week before and watched it on youtube, but this specific thing didn't dawn on me until I watched it on Nickelodeon. No, not me realizing that the guy who played Robbie wasn't in fact Jackson Rathbone, but was the same guy who played Charlie Chaplin in Shanghai Knights. AKA Aaron Johnson. That happened when I was watching it on youtube. The scene where it was raining was when I remembered Aaron.) Anyways, that night I watch the movie, see Dave the Laugh ( Dave ) and all of a sudden I have this nagging feeling (for the rest of the film and a whole week after) that I've seen him before and I know who he is but I couldn't for the life of me figure it out! Finally after that week was gone I got tired of having that unknown dude constantly running through my thoughts so I googled the movie and looked at the cast list. I found 'Dave the Laugh' on the right side, looked on the left side and saw that Dave was portrayed by a lad called Tommy Bastow. I clicked on Tommy's name and was taken to the actor page. I scrolled down to look at the list of movies and telly programmes he had done and low-and-behold, there it was (still is), Thee episode. I was like this without the screaming. That actually surprised me a great deal! Not the not screaming bit, that's pretty normal me not screaming. It was the programme he was in that surprised me.


Now we skip ahead yet again to 7 January 2011. I found out last year around this time that Tommy is in a band called FranKo. I looked the group up on youtube and I still listen to their songs a whole year later. They must have some shred of talent if they can hold my interest this long. :) Night time is the one I most listen too, have a listen yourself if you like! (I just became their 1,374th subscriber on youtube.) And while you're at it, take a listen to their new music video, Love For Fame.

No. I swear I'm not one of their publicists. :P

Until my next blog!
