Seven seasons watched in five weeks, partly thanks to a long easter weekend and a bout of flu. All finished off with the realisation that season 7 is absolutely dire, and season 6 isn’t that much better.
Thursday was Father’s 60th birthday, so we celebrated with dinner at Casanis in town, the food was superb, highly recommended. Friday I finished season 5 of Buffy and started season 6. Saturday was Alex’s birthday, I declined an invite out for a curry to celebrate that and watched more No Country for Old Men, and lots more Buffy. Today is easter Sunday, and for a change we went for lunch in Bar Ha! Ha! in town, then up to Mum and Dads for the obligatory easter egg hunt.
Another familiar voice crops up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, last time it was Kathryn Joosten who played Dolores Landingham, this time it’s Kirsten Nelson who played the young Dolores Landingham in one episode of The West Wing.
I’m now four sevenths of the way through Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so I’m taking advantage of the Play.com sale, and have ordered all five seasons of Angel for £9.99 each. That should see me through until the summer.
A familiar voice crops up on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it’s Dolores Landingham (Kathryn Joosten), albeit looking somewhat different.
After some 17 weeks, I’ve finally finished watching The Sopranos on More4 where they’ve been showing it every weekday night. Having watched the last episode I must say it came as something of an anticlimax, it’s almost as if they ran out of tape and didn’t bother recording the last few seconds of the episode. I’m left with no feeling of closure.
I’m still ill, I’ve survived the last three days on a mix of Lemsip-alike, Benylin, Night Nurse, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After going to bed early Monday I finally surfaced about 3pm today, although I’m not entirely sure it was a wise move.
It looks like he’s infected me with his lurgy.
Update: It’s only 8:30 and I’m in bed already, albeit with a mug of Lemsip-alike, a laptop, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
What have I managed to do with my week off work?
Not bad going really.
From West Wing to the real thing. Scriptwriters modelled TV’s ethnic minority candidate on young Barack Obama.
The timing is quite apt as I’m currently sat watching the latter part of Season 6 of The West Wing which deals with Matt Santos and his presidential campaign leading up to the Democratic nomination at the end of the series.
