TV watching
Is anyone else watching Alcatraz? I've seen the first three eps and so far I like it. The basic premise and mystery are interesting - typical JJ Abrams, I guess. I hope it doesn't get too complicated, though. (I gave up on Lost when it got so complicated I just couldn't care any more. Someday I plan to watch the rest of the series, but I'm in no hurry.)
How about American Horror Story? I'm only a couple of eps in so far but it looks good. A bit of a weird mix and way too OTT but I'm enjoying it.
Anything else new on TV I should know about?
Right now I'm enjoying a Farscape marathon having finally acquired the series on Blu-Ray. It's got subtitles! The original DVD release didn't have them. Farscape was always a series I had real trouble following, partly because of the quirky dialogue and partly because the soundtrack tends to obscure things. Subtitles are essential and boy do they make a difference. I'm actually getting the details. It's like the difference between Monet and Rembrant, or like watching with and without my glasses on. I definitely see better with glasses :)

It's in Fox, though, so, I'm not overwhelmed by trust about its continuity *sigh*
True, it's Fox, but it's also JJ Abrams. Alias ran for five years and Lost longer than that. Okay, neither of those were Fox, but I think they'll give him more leeway than average on his track record. Which might not mean much, I guess... I don't know.
Also, how are you? I haven't been around a lot, and I'm sure I missed lots of stuff happening around :(
I'm good. I don't know what you've missed. I have a new job and a new puppy. I'm also working on a novel - first good idea I've had for original fiction in a long time, so I'm excited about it. Not sure how it'll turn out yet, though - I'm still in the planning stage.

But I always had a thing for John Glover, and Peter Horton was a bonus, so...
Let's hope. I'm just a little distrustful when it comes to them...
A new job? Are you happy? It's good for you? I hope so! And a new puppy! \o/ That always is awesome :)
Oh, that's fantastic! Good ideas are a very rare thing, so I'm very happy for you :)
Looks like everything is going well, yay!
