In the world of things that aren't work or vacation plans, a variety of things are going on. I'm trying out DC Universe online - fuck you, everyone who says no one will pick acrobatics. I recently finished a Civ5 game and though I didn't win, I did pretty decent. I started up Lego Star Wars, read Dexter and Philosophy, spent a month in blessed freedom from craft projects because sewing my Halloween costume was such a time-consuming project.
I'm still mostly keeping up with Glee and I watch Dexter, but other than those and The Daily Show, I'm pretty well on hiatus from American television. CBC, ABC, and most of all BBC are pretty solid addictions these days. I'm even checking out shows on ITV and Sky. Yes, this is what has become of me. (But Spy is a good show! ...I have no justification for Brittania High)
Being Erica is a show I could see a bunch of you liking. Now that I think about it, I could see
ant3ka really enjoying it although I'm not sure why I say that. Admittedly, I am still on the first season but it's cute and it's emotional and it's comfort television. And ABC is great for Gruen alone, but I am the sort of person who loves advertisement critiques. As for the Beeb, well, don't make me pick. Okay, fine, any show with David Mitchell apart from Peep Show.
Of course, the real reason for this post is to talk about Maddigan's Quest. I'll be honest, I wasn't joking when I said I thought New Zealand doesn't have their own tv. But that show is- I like it. I don't even know why. I guess just the right kind of fantasy for my head. It's something I know someone I am friends with would like, maybe several people. But yeah, not sure if the specific friend in mind is
shakespearsgrl2 or
duendeoflorien so it's a bit hard to rec it.
Maddigan's Quest is about these this girl in a circus, and how they have a mission for their hometown to save it from darkness. Literal darkness, not darkness as in evil. Well, sort of. Because these two young boys join them, telling of a future without hope, the future where they fail their mission.
