a few things

thelibraniniquitySpartacus is back on tv a year after the prequel miniseries aired. My jury's still out on Liam McIntyre as the late Andy Whitfield's replacement; he doesn't have nearly the same screen presence, but so far he seems to be acquitting himself. Those are not easy sandals to fill! The fight choreography and cgi blood spatter are as awesome as I remember though. Also, Lucy Lawless rocks.
I've been keeping up with Hustle's swansong series on iPlayer and while the storytelling is as nifty as it's ever been - this is the show that taught me to expect twists and turns with every camera cut and spoken word - I can't help but want the finale to conclude with the crew's arrest and conviction for their final con. Episode 3 gave us an inspector Mickey seemed to view as a potential equal. Let her be the one to finally bring him down for his crimes.
Real life's been distracting me lately. My cousin's funeral was on Thursday - technically he was my dad's cousin's husband, but family is family, and for an extended unit that can be safely described as a mini Catholic mafia we are very good at the solidarity for the big events, funerals, weddings and christenings alike. The amusing part came during the wake, where my mother - the only person that I know of to divorce out of the family - was fondly remembered by some of the cousins while my dad stood around like some lump.
Also, whoever keeps chirping on the radio and tv that "tax doesn't have to be taxing" is a lying liar who lies. I've got until Tuesday to complete this sodding self-assessment and it's a headache wrapped up in a distraction inside a pain in the behind that I really don't need right now.
