lysimache has been on a Duncan/Methos kick lately, so I seem to have found myself watching all the Methos episodes of Highlander. So far, we're just done with the Dark Quickening. (And I just have to say, dude, Duncan, if you know your friend is evil due to a Dark Quickening, why is your solution to kill him and thereby become evil yourself? Surely there is a better plan. And, okay, even if that's the best you've got surely you could, oh, I don't know, tell your friends in advance what you're planning so they won't be surprised when you suddenly begin trying to kill them? Yeah.)
And, yes, Methos is pretty.

Yesterday I saw an opera at the movie theater. It's that new thing where every couple weeks they broadcast something live from the Met, and old people come from miles around to fill the theater. I am not a big opera fan, but Jen wanted me to go, so I went.
Let me just say that Peter Grimes is a totally depressing opera. Peter Grimes is a fisherman who keeps killing all his apprentices totally by accident. It goes like this:
VILLAGERS: Dude, you need to stop killing your apprentices. we hate you.
PETER GRIMES: It was an accident!!11 I promise!!11
VILLAGERS: Okay. But we still hate you.
PETER GRIMES: Also I need a new apprentice.
VILLAGERS: Sure. Did we mention we hate you? Let's form an angry mob and come to your house.
*NEW APPRENTICE falls down cliffside and dies.*
PETER GRIMES: Uh oh.
VILLAGERS: You suck. You should go kill yourself.
PETER GRIMES: You're right; I should.
*he does so*
VILLAGERS: Yay! We win!
Yeah. See what I mean about the depressing?

Also, I just got Professor Layton and the Curious Village for my DS on what, Wednesday? I beat it this morning. And I didn't even play it that much. It was good, and I am looking forward to the sequel, but I was kind of hoping it would be longer.
I think I'm just going to give in and play Persona 3 on my PS2, even though I still have Shadow Hearts: Covenant to finish. And I know it's silly because FES (the expanded version of Persona 3) is coming out next month, but... I want to play it now! So maybe I will. Hmph.
