6 episodes of The West Wing and holy shit is it ever great. The pace of the show is just phenomenal, the wit's great, it's so goddarn funny.
Plus they've already squeezed in House's Cuddy, 24's Milo and Scrubs' Ted. And I haven't got to the arrival of EDWARD JAMES OLMOS yet, holy shit will I freak the fuck out then. It's such a neat bonus seeing all these USA TV actors acting 8 years ago, it's like a little Before They Were Famous only about people I care about.
And father's hooked on it, which is strange because he just about watches House, and he loves 24, but gets fed up with all the great American TV I watch. In fact he's just ordered Season 2, so we might get a West Wing blitz going soon. I was going to stick to watching 2 a week, on Sundays to fill the Lost/24 gap, but we're at a point when there's nothing on any other days either. Heroes ends in two weeks making Mondays redundant, Jericho also ends in two weeks, ruining Fridays. Which just leaves Dexter on Sundays (starting today woooooo) and House on Thursdays. So West Wing is going to be watched a lot throughout the winter. (I'm already regarding this as winter because nothing TV-wise happens until Janurary.)
Seen two episodes of The Wire, and that's pretty smooth. It's purposefully slow and everything, so it's hard to get major excited about it, but everything's done pretty well, and it keeps my attention. Just hope that it all pays off as I've been promised it does.
The Prestige the book version is crazy different from the movie, halfway through the book and it seems like all the motivations for Borden and Angier's actions are incomplete. Costello Music by The Fratellis is a fucking great album and is just awesome and so loud. Kaiser Chiefs' second album is going to take some repetitive listenings to get used to. And holy crap I haven't read Fox in Socks yet, which NICK MURDOCH bought me via a strange creepy alias that absolute freaked me the fuck out. Trying to work out someone who knows my phone number, address, sock fetish and is willing to spend money on me gave me a lot of stress.
I need to picspam soon before I decide to get rid of this sexy beard. PS BUY WEST WING AND WATCH IT
