I am pretty sure it was about ten years ago that June first mentioned the tv series to me, and I pretty determinedly put it on my to watch list.

Had a failed attempt or two at borrowing a friend's copy of the series since with little luck...

Watched the movie on the flight back from Singapore.  one word: AWESOME.

The tv series is definitely gaining

I know, I am a horrible horrible procrastinator with a ridiculously short attention span. *hides*

Yeah, we did. Holiday was awesome-amazing (NZ is a beautiful country!), was good to visit long not-seen family and locations of childhood memories too.
Waiting till what our body clock had set as 5am in Changi on the way back for our next flight was a bit less fun. 12 hour time difference is Zombie-fying me still. |P

I am never going to claim to be a procrastinator ever again. That's got me beat by orders of magnitude.

Dag's list seems to be really long.

Argh, I missed you on Skype last night. Will you be online tonight? *hugs

[dagronrat]

our internet/phone line seems to have died today.  ;,;

[fs_playground]

Argh that really sucks. Are you on the phone or in a café or bookshop with internet access?

[dagronrat]

Hubby is on phone to try and fix the line.

Veronica Mars! Do check it out, if you got the time. First season is the best; subsequent seasons are okay, though they suffer from various internal and external issues. What made the first season so good is the compact, tight-knit plotting, which made sense since it was adapted from the showrunner's in-progress novel. It helps that the showrunner had experience writing novels. You can sense it in the dialogues and worldbuilding. Overall it is a pretty good stab at updating the Marlowe-era noir genre.

Seizing the moment to recommend Orphan Black while I'm at it
