Rotten day: started out with an early-morning mammogram. Poked and prodded and squished.
Then: long wait at an incredibly cold bus stop.
Then: Aches and pains of all sorts at work. Abdominal pain, headache, aching eyes....
Good evening:
commodorified,
iclysdale and
auriaephiala came over. We ate lentil soup, cheese, crackers, bread, and salad, and watched the latest episode of
Torchwood ("Dead Man Walking") and then episode 3 of
Due South ("Diefenbaker's Day Off").
And we talked.
commodorified may be the only person I know who has read all Dorothy Dunnett's Johnson Johnson books, but none of the historicals. I wonder if she has read "The Proving Climb".

I download them when I can since I'm geolocked out of the websites where they're being shown "officially" and they're really good. Not fun like Due South or my favorite Little Mosque on the Prairie but good nonetheless.)

Hee! A virtual hug would be okay. *hug*
Yeah, Due South is fun. I got it from amazon.ca. I haven't seen The Border or The Guard, but I think I'd like to, if I ever find the time. I saw one episode of Little Mosque on the Prairie and liked it, even though I don't usually like comedies. But then, it isn't like other comedies!

Paul Gross is so sweet isn't he? Almost as good as James Marsters.
I'm not sure I'd go that far... but then, I've just started both series, really.
Fraser is already getting more interesting, and I've only seen two episodes.

Date: 2008-02-22 04:06 pm (UTC)Fraser is fun. Gross wrote some of the best episodes and apparently had final oversight of the script in the last series. He's bright as well as talented and hot.

Date: 2008-02-22 04:16 pm (UTC)I believe she has already seen all of Buffy, as most of my friends have. I am the last hold-out.
(I am aware this might not be entirely true.)
I could turn the tables on her. As we started watching Due South and I wondered what I was in for, she said, "You're going to love Fraser. He is very, very fucked up."
So I could simply say: "You're going to love Lymond. He is very, very fucked up." It's true, every word.
He's bright as well as talented and hot.
Happy smile. All that, and Canadian, too. I am proud.

Date: 2008-02-22 07:24 pm (UTC)From what she said in a comment on my LJ, I think not.
Oh yes, Lymond is beautifully fucked up. Utterly skilled at it.
Yes, Paul Gross is the hot 'n sexy face of Canada.

Date: 2008-02-22 07:36 pm (UTC)Oops, that was me. Last night. Too groggy to realize I was logged in as her. I'm the one who hasn't seen all of Buffy. I'm not sure about her, but... I think she has.
Paul Gross: we could use more like him. That being said, he really isn't so much my type, but I'm open to being seduced by the pretty side of Canada.

I think some of the prettiest men are Welsh or Canadian. Don't know why.

Sadly, Lymond sounds as if he would make me want to slap. But we shall see.

Date: 2008-02-26 04:06 am (UTC)Some people have that reaction. Incomprehensible to me, but there you have it. If you do, please don't tell me! Just lie through your teeth and say you haven't read the books, and carry on.
