LOTS

Legend of the Seeker
If you asked me if I love this show, I would say LOTS; and that would be both true and clever. Think, think, think about it. Ahh, that’s it. I’ve read just a few bits of fandom’s response to the whole books v. show thing, and overall, the fans seem pleased enough. Apparently they were happy with Denna, but unhappy with the ending of the episode by the same name. I guess that’s how nearly every adaptation works out.

I’m heading to Ben’s town tomorrow, but only for work. We’re expecting a spot of bad weather, so I’m going up and back. My nephew’s birthday is Saturday and because we all went insane at Christmas with presents, there isn’t much left to get him. I was going to shop, but I guess I’ll just sleep in a bit now.

Ooh, speaking of insane, I’m wondering if there’s going to be a mass exodus to insanejournal now that LJ is seemingly on its last legs. I registered today, so if you’re going to make an account, add me. Same name as LJ 😉

Fringe Binge

I’m going on a binge. Hearing the latest podcast from The Fringe Podcast has reminded me just why I love this show. Oddly enough, as all the heavy-hitters from the top Fringe podcasts listed their favorite episodes thus far, none of them listed the pilot, which was, for me anyway, absolute genius. Just after the pilot, I would say my favorite episode was “The Arrival” in which we get to really see CBG (Creepy Bald Guy) up close. Niiiice.

I watched the season finale of Sanctuary today, and I discovered something about myself: throw a goatee on just about anyone and I am going to find them attractive. Watson as Taneth (on SG-1), not hot; Watson as Watson (on Sanctuary), sign me up!

Since Legend of the Seeker was still on winter hiatus last week, I checked out Demons from the UK. How was it? Eh, um, worse than Hex. Much. Hey, I just made a HUGE association just there…see it?

Anyway, since I’m still in dire need of entertainment, I’ll be watching again today. Sometimes, I really do worry about myself. 😆 [Edit: I kind of enjoyed Ep. 2!]

I’ve changed themes to one that seems to load faster. I’ve done all the little database tricks, cache manipulation, optimization, etc. Here it is, and here it stays. I can do no more.

After processing this selection (for quite a bit longer than I thought would be necessary), I think I’m looking forward to it. I would have preferred an older Doctor, no doubt, but at least this guy seems a bit dark, and maybe not so Ten/Clownish. So far, he has very little experience, which could be seen a a good thing, I suppose.

Thoughts?
