castalieI'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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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?

what is Pushing Daisies about?
It's about a guy, Ned - a quirky, adorable man, btw - who discovers when he's a kid that he can bring people back from the dead with a single touch. There's a caveat though; the first touch brings them back to life, a second touch makes them dead forever. And there's more; if Ned doesn't bring the person back to death in the following minute of their resurrection, someone else dies in their stead.
As an adult, he uses his abilities - more or less forced by a PI - to solve crimes... and, incidentally, win the reward. To his defense, he doesn't really like doing it, it's not really ethical or anything, but, you know *shrug*
Things get more complicated when the murder he's supposed to solve involves his first - and only - love... And, okay, I could go on and on but you also need to see the way it's filmed, the style, which is really different from our other type of shows, so go here (http://abc.go.com/fallpreview/pushingdaisies/).
The Voice Over? Is the show's narrator. I just adore it!
