Soldier

Things to do during loadshedding power cuts: watch Sean Bean in another episode of Sharpe on my laptop.

~ A year ago today we also had power issues ~ 

Scarecrow

Currently singing along to Alex & Sierra's catchy tune Scarecrow.

~ A year ago today I was doing some writing ~

Miranda

Day five of no internet at home. Sigh. To make myself feel better I have been watching Miranda. She is ridiculous, but so, so funny!

~ A year ago to today I was spring cleaning ~

Orphan Black

I really like this show (including its title sequence). Tatiana Maslany is terrific in all her roles.

~ A year ago today I went for a walk ~ 

Runway

When I'm stressed I like watching reality shows. Usually it's cooking competitions, but now I've started Project Runway. It's fun! 

~ A year ago today I was eating cookies ~

So-oh-oh-oh What?!

I like this song a lot! 

~ A year ago today I was driving around ~ 

OITNB

I finally finished Deadwood yesterday, so time to pick a new drama series. More of this I think.

~ A year ago today I was enjoying clivia season ~ 

Superheroes

I've been watching The Script songs this week. They're coming back to SA next year and I've got tickets. It's really feel-good music. It appears this vid was filmed in Soweto. 

~ A year ago today I was enjoying Elementary ~ 

Last Week Tonight

Recently I've been watching a lot of John Oliver youtube clips. Especially the financial ones - he manages to make dry topics entertaining.

~ A year ago today I bought a new bowl ~ 

The Bee

I'm thoroughly enjoying The Great British Sewing Bee. I have zero sewing skills myself so I'm fascinated by the techniques and creativity shown by the contestants. It's really fun to watch!

~ A year ago today I was being disturbed by a noisy truck ~ 

Fargo

My new favourite show! I'm loving everything about it but particularly this character, Molly. Allison Tolman is awesome.

~ A year ago today I was in a shopping centre ~ 

Jack & Phryne

I quickly gave up on that other nonsense and for the last week have been watching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. These two... the whole show... it's a delight! 

~ A year ago today I was eating bananas and cream ~ 

Falling Skies

Now watching (or more accurately, what's on the background while I potter around): this show. I was reminded about it on the weekend, and decided to give it another try, catching an episode this evening. It's not particularly good, but quite entertaining!

~ A year ago today I was down the coast ~

Enlightened

This week I've watched a few episodes of Laura Dern's show Enlightened. I'm intrigued... it's sort of funny, sad, uncomfortable, thought-provoking. She's wonderful in it.

~ A year ago today I was snacking on Tim-Tams ~ 

TBBT

This week I've been watching a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory. I'm not finding it nearly as funny as I used to. The characters just seem mean and silly. I think I'm over it.

~ A year ago today I was calling in my cat ~ 

Cat v Printer

I watched this video again today - had to show my colleague that his customer sounds exactly like this cat. Because of my issues with office equipment I completely relate. Youtube says the video has been watched ten million times - I'm sure half of those are me. It always makes me laugh! 

~ A year ago today my car got new tyres ~ 

Northman

I'm now watching Vikings. It's violent but very watchable.

~ A year ago today I was working at my colleague's desk ~ 

With a View

I've been rewatching A Room with a View for the umpteenth time. I love this film - the actors, the dialogue, the music, the scenery. And Florence! 

~ A year ago today I was enjoying roses ~ 

Sing-a-long

I heard American Authors' Best Day of My Life on the way to work this morning and I had it in my head all day long.

~ A year ago today I was walking through the forest at Kirstenbosch ~ 

Watching Will

I'm currently hooked on Hannibal. It's so creepy! 

~ A year ago today I was driving home ~
