What a gorgeous day today was! Nice temperature (seriously, 11°C?? Wtf), clear blue skies without a single cloud in sight - twas the kind of day that invites you to go out and have a stroll. Or, say, that's what we could have done. Instead, we chose to start the day with some shopping - the sales started on Wednesday. It was a complete success! We went early enough that the shopping centrer was far from being crowded and found nice stuff. As far as my loot is concerned, I found a skirt, a pair of boots, a turtleneck and a scarf. As well as a set of pretty table placemats and napkins. Less glamourous than the rest of the loot but still pretty and useful :-)

And then, we got home and instead of finally taking advantage of the beautiful weather, we made ourselves comfortable and then mainlined Misfits series 2 - we're still at it, as a matter of fact. Omg. Ok, so I thought I loved the show after series 1, right? It was nothing compared to series 2. It is so good! Spoilers up to 204 )

We're starting 2x05 the Christmas Special now, so no spoilers if you're reading this and have watched all of it. Spoilers for 2x06 )

Can we find icons? There's one I would love to have, except I know I couldn't use it on an entry because it's 100% spoilery. But having it would make me so happy *sigh* Oh, Misfits, what a fantastic surprise you turned out to be ♥

[ETA: Did the US already decide to steal make a remake of Misfits? Since they seem to be incapable of just importing foreign shows/films. Cause between all the sex, the un-PCness, the swearing, the inappropriateness of Misfits, the US PTB would have to cut, like, half of every episode? lol If they do their things, it'll become sanitised and glamourous and PC and, well, just completely different. As usual with their remakes, mind.]

It might be just me, but I think there is something Very Wrong with a day that finds you at work at the same time that your work!Starbucks opens its doors, meaning 7.30AM. Tomorrow will be such a day. I'm proctoring exams this week and tomorrow is the worst; we have to be at the university thirty minutes before the first exam starts and said first exam starts at 8.00AM *pout* Also, today was a prime example of Murphy's law; impressive. Hopefully tomorrow will go off without a hitch.

Unrelated. I know that when one is very behind some of their favourite shows, one should try to do some intensive catching up (though we did catch up on The Vampire Diaries, if not on SPN or Community or The Walking Dead. And we're really sorry for that. Really) but Cookie saw her Untitled Posse on Saturday night and when she got home she was all "what if we gave Misfits a go tonight?" So that's what we did. It went well. So well that we watched the first series in one go :-) And I might have ordered the box-set (series 1 and 2) mid-watching.

British shows rock. They have that special flavour that I absolutely love. Misfits is no exception. Even though the show plays with a cliched trope (ordinary people getting super-powers after a freak accident) it still manages to look different. My favourite character is Simon. Awkward, cute, weird, creepy Simon lol Though I'll admit that I'm into all the characters and enjoy each of their storylines. The episode I call the Curtis Episode rocked!

Anyway, twas nice to discover a new show and I can't wait for my box-set to arrive. I have the feeling we'll do another marathon whenever we get it :-) Oh and a question to the Misfits fans around here - if I even have Misfits fans on my flist. That is, apart from Rosen and Cathy, of course ;-) - how many seasons are there? Just the two? Was the show picked up for a third series? What is happening to the show? *Has No Clue*
