About TV Shows

Last night I was watching the first of a new series called Desperate Romantics, which was a drama about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, a group of 19th Century artists. It was actually quite interesting. I also saw the first episode of the fourth season of The Wire, which was really good. I do find it interesting how so many shows these days seem to be like one story strung out over the entire series (The Wire is always a single story that runs through the whole twelve to thirteen episode season, and each season leads into the next). I do think it can work really well, and it's very good with the whole DVD box-set thing. Although I tend to feel slightly lost if I come to the show late.

It was a quiet night last night, with no strange noises. Before I went to sleep I was playing a tape of a radio adaptation of Pet Sematary based on the Stephen King novel.

Today was not a good day at work. It was long, annoying, and I ended up with a really bad headache. I was very glad to get home. However, the good thing is that the cold is gone.

I've not done any writing for awhile either. I had an idea for a story about two people living in an apartment, which they think contains the entire universe and all it's contents. It turns out that there is an implant in the brain in one of the people that's being used as a communication relay by bored and argumentative aliens, while the other one, much to his disappointment, is turned into a small, cute yappy dog. It's supposed to be a comedy.

I'm also still trying to do the research for the Canada trip.
