TV or not TV, that is the question
Well I am at uni today and yes, I actually made it in. I'm feeling a lot better about the whole thing in general really, especially because I've made connections regarding my first essay thingy. Hey, it's only one day a week after all. I have to say that I'm feeling much better in general as the illness got the better of me. I haven't been in work all week. I shall be in tomorrow though. I'm glad to feel better although I still have a cold. It was a proper nasty cold earlier in the week though. I ached all over and my head felt like it was going to explode, complete with intermittant ear ache. Fun stuff. I don't usually get ill but I have to say that this year I've been more ill than ever. I've had to take three different periods off off work since I started which is terrible for me! Maybe it's this Yorkshire air :s
So as I've been ill there isn't really a lot to update. We're off to see Madame Butterfly tonight which should be good. Oh, and because of the illness I missed my first book group meeting! I'm slightly annoyed but at the same time, I was finding it difficult to think of anything to say about F Scott Fitzgerald's 'Tender Is The Night', not because I didn't enjoy it, I did, it's just that I find it harder to engage with older literature. The next book is Sarah Waters' 'The Night Watch' which I loved so I'll feel better about going to that session.
We've been watching a lot of stuff at the moment and I haven't really mentioned that because I tend to talk about something after the run has finished, also, we're constantly trying to catch up with stuff we've been taping. It's getting worse too because everything seems to be coming back. I think it might be a good idea to have a catch-up session this weekend at some point and get through as much stuff as we can! We've just finished watching the first season of Brothers and Sisters which I enjoyed. There's always a lot to look at when it comes to families and although it took a while to find it's feet it did get really good and venture away from the soppiness it sometimes pushes towards. Good, funny stuff :D Other things we're working our way through:
QI
Have I Got News For You
The Tudors (not sure what I make of this yet)
Rome (Season 2)
Ugly Betty (Season 2 - oh so good)
My Name Is Earl (Season 2 - which is turning out to be funnier than the first one. Love it!)
Heroes
Dragon's Den (what did they do with Richard?!)
Along with other bits of things. Oh, and we're taping Without a Trace for now. I really want to finish off Alias to because I was loving it before TV stuff got in the way!
Anyway, I've waffled enough for now!
