Thanks for ruining Europe for me Rob

My Veronica Mars Season 2 DVDs arrived today. So far I've watched all the special features and episodes 2.17 to 2.20.




Also, I think Rick's been sniffing the sharpies again.




Finally, I saw M. Night Shyamalan's new film Lady in the Water last night. Reviews haven't been too enthusiastic for it but I really enjoyed it. I guess I just like pretentious social commentary. At the very least, he takes chances with his story telling and is unafraid to eschew some film cliches. The film is flawed but you have to admire the vision and intent.

Paul Giamatti is fantastic as the stuttering protagonist, and while Bryce Dallas Howard has a very unfortunate hair cut in the film, she likewise impressed me. If The Time Traveler's Wife is made into a film, I really hope that she plays Clare.

And check out the talent in Kenneth Branagh's film version of As You Like It. I get giddy looking at that list.

Argh!

The universe is mocking me.

At 3:30 AM today I was overcome with a desire to re-read The Time Traveler's Wife but I can't find my copy any where. I know I loaned it to my BFF but I'm pretty sure I got it back from her. I think I also loaned it to my mum to read.

And tonight, I was going to watch North and South with my gran but, again, I couldn't find it anywhere.

WHY IS THE UNIVERSE DEPRIVING ME OF BROODY JOHN THORNTON? IT IS CRUEL!
