gateslackerI hope everyone has a great day. I am fortunate to be off, though not the whole weekend. I'll probably head to the pool today if it doesn't rain.
I managed to get the new phone, intact, though I had to leave Sammie on a chain for part of a day. I had hoped it would have arrived before I left yesterday so I wouldn't have to do that. I still can't believe they sent me a new phone for free.
I am still plodding through The Historian and I wonder why I don't just give it up. The author is very descriptive. I can see the people and places she is describing but it is too much. It's too much telling what has happened/is happening and not enough of letting the events unfold for themselves. I can appreciate her rich descriptions...I almost feel as though I am reading a travel guide or a history book...but the story suffers, I think.
Doctor Who has been amazing thus far and it was nice to see Alex Kingston. I am really interested in that backstory but I wonder if we will ever know? I had my doubts about Donna, initially, but I am loving her. I am looking forward to Atlantis since the only shows I am watching at the moment, aside from my usual HGTV fare, is Doctor Who and That Mitchell and Webb Look. I also finished watching Slings and Arrows.soniagloaned them to me ages ago but when I finally started watching, I couldn't stop and burned through the whole series in about 4 non-consecutive days. I was disappointed to learn that there wasn't more out there, being filmed. I also recently finished The Forsyte Saga. If it wasn't for loaners and Netflix, I don't know what I would be watching...LOL.

I was guilting over having your Farscape DVDs and so I watched two episodes the other day. It's just not clicking for me yet. Maybe I'm not in the right mood? I hate to keep them so long.

As for The Historian, maybe it's just that I am not all that into the Dracula legends. I don't know but I agree about the editing.
