It's good to be a fan.

It’s been a good weekend

Yesterday I socialised:

In the early hours, I caught up with my friend, who has been over in the UK all year, on MSN for the first time. *Loves the Internet* It was so good to talk to her.

Later, met up with friends for lunch, played D&D and went over to friend’s house for a Johnny Depp mini-marathon. (PotC and Secret Window, which are two weird movies to watch after one another because at the start of Secret Window – which we watched second - I expected Johnny Depp’s character to talk like Jack Sparrow and come on to anything that moved. Needless to say, he didn’t.)

Today I fannishly obsessed about British TV programs:

All week I’ve been looking forward to a British murder mystery mini-series starring Martin Shaw as Adam Dalgleish, who is a character of P.D James. I’ve always liked the British murder mysteries with the wizened older detective like Inspector Morse, and this one looked really good. Plus, Martin Shaw! For reasons I haven’t fully explored, I love Martin Shaw. Loved A&E. (Yes, I know). Loved Justice John Deed. Just, love.

Martin Shaw playing cerebral detective = Tali’s week made.

Anyway, the mini series was really good (and was a two parter *mutters*) and caused me to tear down to the library in search of murder mysteries. I walked out with two Adam Dalgleish books. *coughs* Martin Shaw made me do it *coughs*

And also the second book in Neal Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle, The Confusion. Honestly, I think that series has the prettiest book covers I have ever seen.

And then came Red Cap.

( Wherein I babble about it for far too long )

Perhaps I should be spoiler free for shows. This unexpected thing makes things kinda fun. : D

Such a pretty song.
