In other news, some more reviews:

The Veronica Mars movie: charming fan service. I liked the show, though not so much that I watched the third season after finding the second already only so so. (You can follow the film without having watched the third season, btw.) The movie, which was, after all, financed by fans, doesn't bear examination when ( Read more... )

Well, "worst fathers" would be like shooting fish in a barrell, given how especially American tv loves its daddy issues. So here are some great dads who come to mind:

1.) Mr. Kwon from Lost. Alas, we never find out his first name, but Jin's dad is that rarity on Lost, a genuinenly good parent. He raised Jin as his own despite the fact they're ( Read more... )

After some very busy days, I ended up at my parents for the weekend, and just returned from the animal shelter where my mother adopted a new cat, named Ivy.

Happy birthday, k_julia!

Watched Veronica Mars 2.05 and liked, very much. I adore the sibling relationship between Veronica and Wallace, so any episode centering on it was welcome, but this one had other bonuses, too.

( To wit: )

Tomorrow I'm arriving at Frankfurt for the Book Fair, which reminds me: monanotlisa, hmpf, ich habe eine zweite Dauerkarte für die ganze Woche. Falls einer von Euch beiden also vorbei schauen will, steht sie zur Verfügung.

Saw Veronica Mars episode 2.03 and liked it very much indeed. ( Spoiler. )
