I spent a lot of my weekend watching DVDs with my flatmate. Last night we watched the rather unlikely pairing of '13 Going On 30' and 'Requiem for a Dream' and I was very impressed by the latter, which I hadn't seen before. And this afternoon we watched 'Closer' and the first disc of OC S1. *cough* As soon as we finished the first ep she said, 'well, now we just have to watch the next one,' and I just laughed and agreed. Damn show sucked me right back in. Marissa was even likeable in 'The Model Home'! 'The Debut' fell a little flat but, Anna! Sometimes I look at those DVDs and wonder why I brought them, but today reminded me why. For a while there, I actually really liked these characters. Hmmm. I wonder if I should get the S2 DVDs out and give it a full watch-through.

Continuing with the DVD theme, I've finally seen Kenneth Branagh's version of 'Much Ado About Nothing' which I've been wanting to see forever, and not just since I became slightly enamoured with Robert Sean Leonard. I ... liked a lot of it. Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson rocked, as did Richard Briers and Denzel Washington. RSL bugged me a little, and I'm not quite sure why, it might have been the character more than anything. Keanu ... well, the less said the better really but I've seen worse from him. Overall, I enjoyed it and I really should read the play.

I'm also thinking some rather unpleasant thoughts about the VMars season finale, which I really hope don't pan out. Really. But they're there now. Hanging around. *tries to swat them away*

However, I would just like to reaffirm my love for my iPod and it's abilities as a portable hard drive, meaning I could circumvent my computer issues and see the L/V clips from recent episodes. There was much glee.

Now, I really meant to tidy my room today.

I decided to tape the OC S2 Finale. I haven't watched in a while (since about 212) but I thought I might as well:

I haven't regularly read TwoP re-caps for a couple of years (not since Deborah's West Wing ones and Sobell's early CSI ones) and the House ones I've read (bar Sar's first one) were actually kind of disappointing. However, yesterday I discovered Couch Baron's Veronica Mars re-caps and they are actually quite amusing and as other's have said before me, it's nice to have a re-capper that actually likes the show they're re-capping.

I've also furthered my investigation into 'So, what's so good about this anime thing, then?' by renting Cowboy Beebop: The Movie. ( Brief thoughts )

No. I really can't stop picking up new fandoms. I think it's an illness.

Micheal got pole for the Hungarian GP. Wow. I really shouldn't watch tonight though. I have work at 7:30am. Ugh.


Edit: I'm not the biggest Inara fan but Morena Baccarin looks really, really good in that mood icon. Mmm.
