1. I managed two discs of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters before giving up. It's possibly one of the most boring things I've listened to, and I no longer feel bad about not managing more than the first fifteen pages of the original novel.
2. I've got Agatha Christie's 'Murder is Easy' in the player now. And while it's not quite as bad, it's still a little boring. This is possibly because the main character is a dude, and his views on women are a bit paternalistic and annoying. For the fun of it, I watched the Marple adaption last night, where the thing was All About Women, and that made things a lot better. Also. I apparently have some sort of id reaction to Benedict Cumberbatch, because, um, he's not even all that attractive, but I quite enjoyed looking at him. (I now need to dig out my copy of The Last Enemy and watch it)
3. I've just been reminded he's the new tv Holmes. Um. Holmes is not supposed to be attractive, you know.
4. I should possibly go to work.
