Reason #45434

44 Comments

It’s no secret that I’m going to die alone. Out of the thousands of reasons, one is that I watch either Evil Under The Sun or Death On The Nile every night as I go to bed. Both are films based on Agatha Christie books featuring my favorite portrayal of any sleuth ever- Sir Peter Ustinov as Hercules Poirot. Imagine my glee (and extraordinarily geeky *squee*) that next week’s Doctor Who is all about Agatha Christie. Oh, yes, I was giddy. Still am.

I had dreaded this week’s DW, but I ended up liking well enough. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed the way Martha was written this whole season, but just having Freema around for a bit was good enough. I certainly hope to see her in the Whoverse, be it DW or TW.  I believe there’s a bit more for her in each.

Death on the NileDeath on the Nile, one of my favorite Agatha Christie stories, was on tv when I woke up today. This may be a great weekend yet. It started off with a visit from Ben, who brought me a gorgeous Audrey Hepburn calendar. :thud: We had our usual mexican and then wrapped up the evening by watching a coupla few SGA eps. *swoon*

I’m wishing all kinds of good luck to Todd and Cole today. Here’s hoping for even more great news in the future for those two :nod:

I’m off work until Jan. 3, 2005. How amazing is it that MTV is playing a Real World/Road Rules Challenge marathon for me? There are certain things that I will watch no matter what else is on. They aren’t my favorites, but for whatever reason, I am glued to them. They include such gems as The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Delirious, Housesitter, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Funny Farm, Agatha Christie movies with Ustinov, and the above mentioned Challenges. I wonder if other people have the same quirks?
