briefly checking in
Jan. 8th, 2011 07:21 pmThe dongle is starting to really annoy me, consuming bandwidth in inexplicably large bursts. Which means I'm not using it as much I would like, because I'm paranoid about it running out and I'm opposed to spending more when I'm not doing enough to warrant the bandwidth. Grr, I need my own broadband :(
Had a fantabulous start to 2011 staying at
explodedpen's last weekend. Much tea was consumed, various films were watched and we watched the first two episodes of the new series of Primeval. It's not bad, quite enjoyable actually, and it's been spawning quite a lot of bunnies :D I'm slowly warming to the new characters, and having more fun working out dynamic shifts than I thought I would.
"No expeditions, no search parties, no rescue."
It's been trying for slightly darker, and it seems to be hit and miss so far, but definite potential. Much like the first 3 seasons, so at least it's being generally consistent? I may have to wait for the DVDs and copious rewatches before I attempt anything ambitious story-wise.
First week back at work this year, and it's not been nearly as busy as we would have liked. Hopefully it'll pick up, and it's just people being hungover and slow.
I've been watching Dollhouse. Got the s2 DVDs for Christmas, and it's much better than the first season. I'm maybe 7 episodes in and it's already started to get properly dark and amoral. And there are just some utterly fantastic character moments to lighten the tone every now and again. Just waiting on the Sanctuary and Spooks DVDs to arrive and that'll be my evenings well taken care of for the next few weeks.
