Man, I didn’t really do much of anything this weekend, even for me. (I did confirm that my house trailer is listing, so I had the guy out, and he also found some other stuff–of course–so zap, there goes two grand. At least I had it in the bank. I hate debt and debt financing.)
Other than that…let’s see. I watched the third season–albeit that’s six episodes–of the Brit show Pie in the Sky, about a semi-retired detective also running a restaurant on the side. It’s rather more a drama than you’d think, and I really don’t like it as much as Jonathan Creek, with the latter’s entirely fun emphasis on impossible crimes. (Too bad he never teamed up with Banacek.) Still, it small doses it’s a decent enough show. I suppose when the next six episodes trundles out, I’ll watch those too.
I also watched another story arc of Naruto. I like that show quite a bit, but I agree the storylines go on a bit too long. However, this is the first time I remember when Narurto and his comrades where just out to kill their opponents, so that was fun. Ah, our little ninjas are growing up.
And…that’s about it on the TV front. I read David Drake’s What Distant Deeps, the latest in his Daniel Leary series. Good, although a smaller adventure, no doubt as a breather between the big major war stuff. When I stopped in Walgreens to get a spare key made, the key guy recognized the author (yes, I carried the book inside; what if I had to wait in line five minutes with nothing to do), and we talked about Drake and David Webber and Johnny Ringo and so on. It’s rare to run across another reader, so that was cool.
So what did you guys watch? Read? Spill.
