All my snow is going away. No fair. It rained all day today, and rain is infinitely more boring than snow. We get it all the time, for starters. Although admittedly it's nice to get decent TV reception back. Everything got a bit crackly yesterday, and I lost non-digital radio entirely. Mind you, it went in the middle of a Robbie Williams song, so it was no great loss.
Weirdly productive day today, though probably only in my terms. Updating this, and finishing that, and sorting out this, that and the other. And I've just remembered that I must write in my parents' wedding anniversary card. Why they continue to celebrate the occasion is beyond me, and I certainly prefer not to be caught up in it all, but I suppose there should be some sort of reward for lasting out forty-three years with somebody you actively dislike. Parents, hey. Who can figure them.
Oh yeah. Primeval. New ITV show started tonight. Their first sci-fi show since The Last Train, apparently. Hated that, but it was a long, long time ago. Primeval actually seems quite promising. They've only done it because the Beeb brought back Doctor Who, and now they're trying to cash in on the Saturday evening family audience, but what the hell. If it means decent entertainment I'm not going to quibble. Just mock. ;) And on the basis of the pilot this actually could be decent entertainment. From ITV! Incredible! It's definitely aimed more at the younger viewers, but that doesn't matter. It's fun, and it's got dinosaurs in it. Well - they were from the Permian era, so technically they're not dinosaurs, but I'll let that one go. Pseudo-dinosaurs, let's say. Some interesting characters, though the main one has the obligatory annoying emo back-story thing going on. He's a good character, though, and his assistant is cool. There's also a bloody annoying student type who needs to get eaten by something pronto. However - pseudo-dinosaurs. And I'm willing to put up with a lot if it gets me nice big creatures prowling around on my television screen.
Dinosaurs are good. I like dinosaurs. :)
