The Granada Sherlock Holmes series is not available on Hulu. :( With any luck Eor still has Silver Blaze on his computer and I can watch it. There's actually two more episodes to go until it's my turn, which means a month, maybe two. What they do on the GranadaSlash group (on Yahoo) is everyone has to sign up to take an episode for which they will write a synopsis, an analysis and pose discussion questions (as a general rule most people center the questions on the possible slash interpretations of things going on in the show). I'm really terrified, and was thinking it would be best for me to get this out of the way far ahead of time, because I am going to SO suck at it. But, I didn't do it today, because I couldn't make myself sit in front of Eor's computer and look for it.
Instead, since I was on Hulu, I looked up a British comedy which a coworker suggested I might like because it has Simon Pegg. I actually have very little exposure to Simon Pegg, only having seen him as Scotty in the new Trek movie (which I thought he did a good job with even though he didn't get much air time), so I thought it would be good to see him in something else. The show was called "Spaced," and I liked it a lot, although the setup for the first episode seems, on review, to be rather dull: Comic artist and aspiring journalist are both without apartments and meet up in a coffee shop looking over the for-let ads. The only place they can find that looks good - and it looks possibly a little too good to be true - advertises for "professional couples only," so they go in as roommates, barely knowing each other and trying to pretend they've been in a relationship for five years so that they'll look stable. It was fun. :) I particularly liked when they discuss Scooby-Doo and admit they wanted to be Daphne and Freddy, and then the camera pans back and they're actually dressed as Velma and Shaggy. :) I didn't even aspire to be Daphne, myself, I was more into Velma.
Okay, Tylenol PM, now, and sleep. Yet again I didn't spend the day drunk. Is this a waste of my time?
