fajrdrako | Sunday TV watching... (Reply)

Marion and Vickey and I went to dim sum at Beijing Palace - we didn't know they had dim sum till we got there. Agreed that it was good, but not as much variety as at Mandarin Ogilvie. We talked about home and childhood memories and Steven Pinker.

We went back to my place and watched:

The first episode of the British Being Human. I got all excited because I've been to the pink house in Bristol.
The first episode of the American Being Human. I enjoyed seeing the Montreal houses.
An episode of Criminal Minds called "The Big Wheel", which featured Alex O'Loughlin as Vincent, the OCD serial killer.

Seeing Being Human reminded me that I really don't like vampire stories, even though I quite like the show despite that. The American version seemed bloodier, and less intense... hard to say why. I liked the similarities. For me, the big difference is that I think Aidan Turner (as Mitchel) and Lenora Crichlow (as Annie) are utterly gorgeous and I didn't think anyone in the American vesion was very attractive at all - and really disliked Sam Witwer's looks. (He plays Aidan.) On the other hand, I like Sam Huntington more than Russell Tovey, but then, I like just about anyone more than Russell Tovey.

While watching, I made the fabric I bought yesterday into a Christmas tablecloth, by hand. Enjoyed it.
