I've received bad news after bad news this week. I'm so ready for it be over! It'll mean I'll be back to work, yes, but at least I'll be able to put it behind me and just forget about it *mimicks Teh Ackles on icon*

Yesterday offered me great distractions in the form of a whole day spent with

crazybutsound and her brother and it helped a lot. We had some nice breakfast - nothing ever beats croissants and pains au chocolat for breakie, really - then early afternoon we headed to Paris for a little Starbucks then off to the cinema we went.

We saw Distburbia, which we really enjoyed. I also think I'm not cut out for thriller and/or horror movies. They're so bad for my nerves… though, okay, the thrill is the whole point and scaring yourself is a lot of fun, but still… Incidentally, I love Shia LaBeouf, he was awesome in the film. Guess this summer was about that actor; first Transformers, now this. Nice :-)

Unrelated, I've been looking at this Fall TV schedule and turns out my download list won't be that different from last year. I thought I'd have many new shows to add to the list but so far I've only added Pushing Daisies and re-added Prison Break. Mind you, 'so far' is the keyword because we all know how it usually works.

For my own reference, this is supposed to look like this.

Dimanche: Dexter (30 septembre?)
Lundi: Prison Break (17 septembre) / Heroes (24 septembre)
Mercredi: Pushing Daisies (10 octobre)
Jeudi: Supernatural (4 octobre - seriously why is it in October?)
Vendredi: Numb3rs (27 septembre)

I'm also thinking of adding Cold Case somewhere in there... I usually wait for French tv to air the show but wouldn't it be nice if I watched it semi-live?

Wait...you also watch COld Case? Damn, we should just put up lists of shows we watch and compare- there must be a ton we have in common!

I love Cold Case, especially the way they use the appropriate music. Unfortunately, that's also the reason why the show will never come to DVD, despite it's popularity. The music rights would just be too expensive, or so I read.

Lol Dude, we really should make a list, yes. On the other hand, I like the effect of surprise :-)

I love Cold Case, especially the way they use the appropriate music.

I second that. I adore the choice of mucis, it's such an important part of the show.

Funny you should say that as I was talking about the DVDs and the reason why they still haven't been released to a friend just yesterday. Anyway, I've read about it too.

I've noticed in some DVD sets I have, such as Roswell and don't laugh at me here, Dawson's Creek, they actually changed the music altogether. I know they cut "Nights in White Satin" out of the Wiseguy DVD, which I know refuse to buy on principle. That song had such an impact on those final scenes that hearing anything else would be an insult.

So yeah, add Roswell, Dawson's Creek and Wiseguy to my list of shows. Did you ever watch Odyssesy 5? Chris Gorham was fantastic in that, too.

Oh, I'd never laugh at anyone's DVD collection, believe me. Or I'd have to laugh at mine, you know? *cough*

Did I ever watch Odyssey 5? DUDE! I have the DVDs lol And I don't mean burnt DVDs, I mean, you know, real DVDs and everything.

Odyssesy 5 is definitely on my list of DVD sets to buy. But I have a bunch of others ahead of it though. Season 6 of Smallville, season 2 of Supernatural and Bones, and Heroes comes out this Tuesday. Thank God it's only a month away from my birthday- I can ask for some of these for birthday gifts!

There's another box set I'd LOVE to have with Christopher Gorham, it's Jake 2.0. Were the DVDs even released? I was so desperate for some Jake 2.0 that I downloaded four episodes in Italian. So okay it's not a problem as such since I can follow what is happening anyway but I wish I'd found an English version because, well, original versions are always better :-)

I really have no idea if Jake 2.0 came out on DVD. I taped it off the TV when it ran initially, though the network pulled it before it completed it's run. I read about the final episodes in a sci fi magazine, and I taped them when the Sci Fi Channel aired the whole series. It's not really on my list of DVDs to get, so I never even checked to see if it was coming out on DVD.
