Merlin and other miscellany
Tonite on the scifi channel was the premiere of the 2nd season of Merlin (in the US). I am so addicted to this series. It doesn't help that Anthony Head is in it (Giles from BuffyTVS) and I really love him. I really enjoy this series because it's sort of the beginnings of Merlin and Arthur and how they become friends. I've been into this sort of mythical/historical/fantasy type books and films (like the book series the Immortal Secrets of Nicholas Flamel). And I really like "prequels" when they're done really WELL like Batman Begins and Smallville (NOT like Star Wars episodes 1-3).
Not really enjoying this new season of American Idol. I don't find the singers to have any sort of vocal ability like previous seasons. I'm still waiting for them to weed out all the really crappy singers. I am enjoying Ellen as a judge, which is the only highlight of the season besides that amazing version of Straight Up.
Took my car in for servicing. I got that dreaded call... that ultimately means that I have to dish out big bucks (BIG BUCKS). Almost $2000 worth of fixing including completely worn out brake pads and a cracked timing cover and something about the gasket and drive belts. AND I won't have my car for 2 days!
Looking forward to tomorrow (regardless of how poor I've suddenly become). We have a full day-- martial arts, Xander's birthday party & Easter get-together w/friends.
My mood: getting sick again & in pain (went to the gym 2 days in a row) & poor, poor, poor!
