ARRRRGGGHHH!!!! I missed the "Heroes" season premiere!!! At my parents house watching the stupid baseball games. God I hope I remembered to record it at home. *sigh* at least there is new "House" and "Eureka" tomorrow. Blech, when did I get so obsessed with TV? *shrug*
Currently reading "Goldfinger" by Ian Fleming and loving it. 'Book' Bond is so much more interesting than 'Movie' Bond, because he more human of course. He's totally fallable, guilt ridden, even down right whiny sometimes. The experience of reading a book is also much more sensual than watching a movie; the description of driving a D.B. III along European motorways is much more exciting than any chase scene on film because you get Bond's emotions, thoughts and sensations along with it. Plus, I am geek enough to enjoy the odd glimpse of 60's British male culture, including 20 pages on a game of golf. Okay, that wasn't the most riveting part of the book, but it was still pretty good.
Also been doing a few mini comics lately, just to get my hand in. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a writer so they're mostly without dialogue and without satisfying endings, just little scenes. Don't have a scanner anymore so don't know if I'll be able to post them any time soon.

That being said, I decided to add another serialized tv drama to my list of must see shows this fall season. Fringe. Right after House on Tuesdays (actually, it probably JUST ended, but made sure that was being taped too as I missed the first ten minutes or so). Wow, for someone who doesn't watch much TV, I've sure got a shit load of TV to watch this weekend.
And another wow. I read Goldfinger in high school. Wrote a thesis paper on it (which is fancy-speak for a glorified book report). Never saw the movie, and I live with a gigantic James Bond flick fan. Gotta be honest, don't remember any of the book, outside of the B I got on the paper.
