In recent days, I continued to watch episodes from Homicide: Life on the Streets which
karabair has sent me (verdict so far: I enjoy it very much, and no, I don't have a favourite character yet - in fact, the show reminds me of Firefly that way - meaning in FF I don't have a favourite, either, I like the entire team). I also am rewatching season 4 of Alias. Expect a season 4, how I love thee, let me count the ways post one of these days. (Really, now that we have a closed canon to look back on, I think it, and not 2 is my favourite). In preparation, I offer a link, to a fabulous
season 4 of Alias soundtrack Speaking of soundtracks, there is also one up for my favourite spy in his clever tragic twistedness.
Arvin Sloane - Lullabye for Cain In other news, I'm on the road again, trying to escape the football (soccer to you overseas people) mania everywhere - and looking forward to a brief trip to London between June 18th and June 22nd.

ETA: Speaking of spies and music.
I kind of feel it's my duty to inform the general public of the shocking truth
gentilhomme,
eirena and yours truly found out in a chat. As evidenced by Angel's thing for Barry Manilow in general and Mandy in particular, every tragic character has a secret musical vice he'd rather not share with the public. For Jack Bristow, this is ABBA. He has all the records and the best of cds. Though he denies using an undercover mission to visit the revival concert last year. Arvin Sloane is a complete sap for Andrew Llyod Webber. No prices for guessing that Phantom of the Opera is his favourite musical(unstable genius/criminal manipulates young woman with daddy issues, what's not to love? ), but the song he's not above requesting from beleagured bar pianists is actually Memories from Cats. He denies using the Alliance meetings in London to catch every single POTO performance Michael Crawford sang in. Irina Derevko is a folk music addict. Anything emo, barefeet, open hair, and mumbling into the microphone, she's there.
Sark somehow has found out about this, having worked with two of them. However, he has this mutual destruction thing going. As in, Jack, Arvin and Irina will mutually destroy him if he ever tells. Also, Irina will reveal his thing for the Spice Girls and the fact he even had a poster when he was fourteen.
While the facts revealed above are dire, they're entirely spoiler free, so,
andrastewhite, you can read them.
