Some generic update, some TV review.

Well, we finally moved the spare bed out of my study: I have room again! I can do exercise routines at home once more! And I have piles and piles of papers and stuff to sort out so i can move some of by boxes and such out of the corner in front of my bookshelves.

brannie_bird's new place is quite nice; I helped her unpack some on the weekend, far enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel, she said, though I felt a little dismayed (in a rather familiar way from my own moves) about how much was still to do. Alas, didn't get to see Daniel while there, but hopefully we will get together for something soon.

The basement is almost entirely done: alas, I had almost nothing to do with it. Colin's amazing. Every wall that *can* be insulated is, and that plus new furnace means much lower heating bills.

Baroness frisky_turtle and Baron Hreodbeorht, as ever, had a wonderful Hallowe'en party on the weekend, too, wherein we decided the Director's Cut of Army of Darkness mostly degrades the movie, we all got severely overfed, if only because the food is not only plentiful but excellent (Thank you!!!), and much hanging out with people I don't see enough was accomplished. Alas, I had no costume; SCA garb does not count, my selkie outfit needs a lot of work, and I ahd no money to speak of to find something else.

And only two papers to write in the next two weeks.

TV: As well as being about 3 years behind in "discovering" one quirky show via the recommendations of family and the viewing of one episode (Leading Colin to buy the DVD of the first season), we're actually using Bittorrent even more than before, trying to follow three current TV shows - one so current Canada doesn't have it yet. (In our defense, we buy everything on DVD soon as it's available legally. We do support those we love.)

Of the three we're only a few, episodes into (Or a few episodes into a new season), you'll notice a repeating theme of optimistic and/or slightly wary, but holding out on any final judgements. This shouldn't be surprising; I've been won over before by shows whose first couple of episodes had me dubious about the amount of praise they were getting.

(I'd use Buffy as an example, because my opinion of the first few episodes is that it gets good about episode 5 or so, and still has lapses -- except that the first two expisodes I saw of Buffy were Spiral{only okay without more context} and the Gift {YOW!!!!}, so I *knew* what i was holding out for...)

The round-up:
( Corner Gas )

( Veronica Mars S3 )

( Heroes )

( Torchwood )
