• I managed to sleep last night. Yay for sleep!



• I think I've lost weight. Goddess knows how since I eat like a pig, but my pants are loose. This may mean I need new pants.



• Does "privacy" have a completely different meaning in American from what it means in English? I'm confused by recent discussions invoking "privacy" as an argument against RPF. I can think of a lot of arguments against RPF, but that isn't one that seems logical to me. If it's made up, it's not private, is it?



• I may have started a new SPN fic last night. Naughty, since I haven't finished my Big Bang yet.

Thinky thoughts on The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency

You know I'm a huge fan of the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency series. I was a fan of the books long before there was talk of a TV series. Last year's TV-movie was wonderful; now there's a (sadly short) series on BBC.

The TV movie was very faithful to the first novel; it left out only the long flashback about Mme Ramotswe's father's years working in the mines. The series is not a straight adaption, but most of the details are recognisable from the novels; they've just been mixed-and-matched, and in some areas details are different.
