Smug Mode.

I am really on the ball today. This week is technically supposed to be my "spring break". Of course, I cannot take the whole week off from studying but I can take today as I had too many errands and whatnot to run anyway. Afterwards, I decided it was high time I clean up my totally trashed vehicle. I do believe that it has been 6 months since I have cleaned it out! It was a job and the car wash machine/vacuum cleaner ate my money twice. It looks sooooo much better. I won't be embarrassed letting someone in now. Since I was in clean mode, I came home and removed all the winter looking "stuff" and replaced it with the spring "stuff." I really need to do some spring cleaning but I am afraid that will just have to wait.

Though I am way late to the ballgame, I am totally smitten with Red Dwarf. So much so that, for a change of scenery and sounds, I replaced my desktop theme with RD sounds and made a wallpaper. (Of course you know I have to be ga ga if I replaced my Stargate theme and background!!! Sacrilege!!!)

Anyway, I am really impressed with the DVD's. Never have I seen DVD sets so full of extras, not to mention every episode has cast commentary!! It could take me months to get through it all. Wheeeeeeeeee. But, is this whole easter egg thing really necessary? I will have to cheat of course. Though I had heard somewhere that series seven and eight weren't quite as good, I have to say that I liked both. Of them all series seven is the most different and had some angst interwoven throughout all the comedy but I actually enjoyed that change, really. After watching several series and getting to know the characters, you actually yearn for more character development and character driven moments, even in blatantly comedic shows. Plus, you know how I am about whumping and angst...LOL! I don't feel the comedy suffered for it as I had a great many falling out of my chair with laughter moments. I also noticed how a difference was felt when an episode wasn't filmed before an audience. It made the episodes seem quiet and actually altered the pace in my mind, which had become accustomed to hearing, and accounting for, the laughter. I have discovered that slashers are everywhere. But, this is one show where I can see why some folks might see a slash pairing, especially after watching "Blue". Mind you, I wouldn't exactly go there, but I can certainly see where those ideas come from.

Well, it's off to aerobics........
