fleeting Wednesday night
Sep. 28th, 2005 11:20 pmGot home after 8, dinner by 9, now it's 11, and I really need to go to bed so I can get up tomorrow early and run my puny mile or so. Grr...
Regretfully finished: Wonderfalls, which my friend Nick loaned me. I *adored* it! I should get him some herring as a thank you. Or loan him The Tall Guy. Or Firefly (since A. is illegally acquiring a copy elsewhere :-) I totally adore.. well, pretty much the entire cast and the writers, but especially Tracie Thoms and Caroline Dhaverans--two simply delicious ladies.
Latest TV amusement: NY-Lon, a tragicomedy (or comic drama) about an Englishman who falls for a visiting American and tries to court her long distance. Gee, I have *no* idea why I'd like that. :-) It's taking the place in my affections, at least momentarily, left by Keen Eddie (a Fox show, like Wonderfalls, cancelled even before its prime) about a NY detective in London. Also stars Navin Chowdhry, my current favourite Anglo Indian actor. Too funny--BBC America is just showing this series (from 2004) and another he was in (Teachers--rather funny too) which dates from 2001. Nothing like the latest news... (NC was also in the hilariously awful The Seventh Coin, with Peter O'Toole and John Rhy-Davies *shudder*; I didn't recall that, and I think it must just be the scarring of my brain from the wicked badness of that movie.)
Picked up Anansi Boys today after several glowing reviews by LJ friends. Also bought several books about Iraq (which look good though depressing) and Eragon, since it's been getting very good press too.
OK, go to bed early (relatively) tonight, get up early, get to work early(er), come home early(er)? Then maybe finally start transcribing my trip journal and editing, posting my photos. It's been, sheesh, over two weeks, (and four months since the May trip, which I never wrote up...)
Oh, and I actually got a mildly positive reposnse from someone whose personal I responded to. Sounds promising; we'll see what happens...
