Serendipity

Blimey, it's a bit nippy at the moment. Of course it doesn't help when someone switches OFF the central heating. *shivers*

Thanks to Anime Central I'm working my way through a few different animes at the moment. And for free, hoorah.

Currently I'm mostly watching:

.hack // sign - It's okay, but I'm not really getting into it, it's a bit like watching someone else play a MMORPG. Although it seems to be very sparsely populated. Maybe it's a quiet server.

Wolf's Rain - I missed the first two episodes and have had a bit of trouble getting up to speed, but I do quite like it. it annoying clashes ith loads of other stuff, so I'm having to catch up with episode guides ere and there which is of the suck. The opening theme is 80s MOR Soft Rock-tastic though.

Cowboy Bebop - Really liking this one. Love how fluid all the movement is, especially all the fighty stuff. Again it clashes with other stuff so I am dropping episodes left right and centre, but because they're all pretty much self contained you're able to dip in and out.

Afro Samurai - It's got Samuel L Jackson and Ron Perlman in it. What is there not to like? Amazingly violent, really well drawn and coloured, very stylised. Liked it very much.

Bleach - dubbed Bleach is so strange. I've got so used to watching the subtitled version, it does take a bit of getting used to. (Not really watching it (unless I'm waiting for something else to come on and there' nothing else on t'telly). But Anime Central are onto Season 2 (aka the one with my favourite theme toon) so I can sing along at home.

I am watching some normal telly too.

Loved Top Gear last night, and I don't even like cars all that much (other than using them to get from A to B). I think Richard Hammond being in love with his 43 year old African car (Oliver) is so sweet. I worry that Jeremy is going to drop it into the Bristol Channel though.

And Long Way Down does have the added bonus of Ewan McGregor, even if it is a bit bikey. :D I didn't realise you could actually go into the pyramids, I always thought you could only admire them from the outside. The tombs that were carved into the banks of the Nile are really cool too. I'm enjoying this more than Long Way Round.

QI is still awesome. But that's just a bit obvious.

And of course, my beloved Prison Break, Prison Break is on tonight.

Happy that Never Mind the Buzzcocks is back on Thursday;
May give The Mighty Boosh another go because their trailer makes me LOL so much;
Screenwipe is back Wednesday, I've really missed Charlie Brooker being all miserable on mah telleh.
And best of all Omid Djalili's show starts on Saturday. I luff him. He makes me laugh until my sides hurt a bit.

Oh, and I've heard there's some three-minute thing with David Tennant on Friday. I may watch that. If I can be bothered. :)
