Non-spoilery telly/film/book catch-up

[magicallaw]

Have been keeping myself out of trouble by consuming various media goodies. Namely, The West Wing. I've finished series two now and because I promised myself to watch something ELSE after I'd finished it I must be strong and hold off watching it until... erm, tomorrow. Hey, I'm not that strong. I'd've failed harder if it wasn't so flaming obvious what was going to happen next. Instead of cracking on with series 3 I might just rewatch that scene in the cathedral from 2x22. I could watch that on a loop for the rest of the month and not get bored and cry every time.

I also watched The Golden Compass this afternoon. It was all a bit meh for me, and it didn't really make the books appeal to me either. Still, I would quite like my own daemon.

Speaking of which (sort of), Demons was onna telly just now (yes I typed this as I watched) and it had vampires. The non-sparkly kind. Was I supposed to have figured out that Mina is actually Mina Harker from Dracula. Perhaps I should pay attention more. This ep did have Unexpected Johnny Cash and weird karate training things for Luke which automatically makes it my favourite so far.

On the book front, I'm currently reading The Yes Man by Danny Wallace which is frightening and funny. As someone who has just lied in order to get out of going somewhere this evening, I'm sure you can see why they thought of saying Yes to everything might scare me so much.

Now, I'm going to watch that something else I said I would after I finished series two of The West Wing: Jonathan Creek rewatch time, bb. Oh yeah!

ETA: Forgotten about UNEXPECTED COLIN BAKER IN EP 1.

I want my own daemon, too.

I'd quite like mine to stay like a child's and keep changing form, just to make life that little bit more interesting.

UNEXPECTED PETER DAVISON in another Jonathan Creek episode too (can't remember if it is S1, or S2). But man, I love Alan Davies in that series.

Oh damn it, I love Alan Davies all the time. He's adorable.

I remember that but have no idea which episode he's in. It's been so long since I've seen any of these.

I just started watching The West Wing and I don't understand why I haven't been watching it for years. I'm so in love.
