Boring RL update
Does too much TV rot your brain? I've been watching a lot of different TV series, mostly because I am spending Nano-month working on the sequel to my kid's book. Progress is agonizingly slow because I am procrastinating - which makes me depressed, which blocks up my creativity, which leads to late-night TV watching.

Doctor Who
In short: Loved it.
We watched it at our local cinema in 3D with a bunch of very dear friends. We loved it, even though we haven't enjoyed the last few episodes much.

Hannibal
Just wondering: is anyone else watching Hannibal? I've seen the first two episode. It's fascinating - a lot like a train crash - you can't look away, yet you're apppalled at the same time. Pretty dark. I was suprised to hear Lecter quote The Medusa Touch (a movie with Richard Burton and Lino Ventura ( Read more... ) -
