Current clothes: Khaki-colored shorts; black Star Trek t-shirt with a picture of Kirk, Spock & McCoy on the transporter pad and the caption, "Beam me the hell outta here!"; black sport socks.
Current mood: Pretty good. Relaxed, even. This is the weekend for me -- it's Wed/Thurs/Fri this week -- and I am enjoying it.
Current music: Just more random-shuffle stuff, most recently. Before that, I listened to part of Weird Al's Alapalooza.
Current annoyance: I just went to order some tea from Stash and discovered that they have changed their website to be much prettier and much more frustrating to use. Aargh.
Current thing: After working 65-hours plus in the space of seven days at one point last month, my current thing is enjoying every minute not spent at work. Alas, I'll be running short on those again soon, as I've got another couple of 12-hour shifts coming up this weekend.
Current desktop picture: This picture of one of Doctor Who's Weeping Angels. I can't look away from it!
Current book: Just finished Harlan Ellison's Deathbird Stories, then paused to read the current issue of Science News. Next up: The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
Current song in head: "The First of May," by Jonathan Coulton. For some reason, that tends to get stuck in my head every year around this time.
Current DVD in player: Disc 1 of season 1 of The Invisible Man. I remember seeing ads for this series back when it was on and thinking it looked uninteresting and kind of cheesy. But after being assured from a couple of different sources that, no, really, it was entertaining, I decided to give it a shot. Having now watched the pilot, my reaction is, dude, if I'd known it was funny, I might have tuned in back when.
Current refreshment: Nothing. But I just recently had me one of those "complete breakfasts" you hear about on TV.
Current worry: Most of my worries seem far too trivial to dwell on at the moment. Well, except for those encompassed by the creeping existential angst of imminent middle age, but I try not to think too hard about those.
Current thought: My mind just went blank.

The Invisible Man remains one of my favorite shows, so it's weird that it somehow escaped my notice that it's now available on Region 1 DVD. I've always thought it was really strong science fiction, and a great example of how suspension of disbelief is supposed to work. It's all laid out in the opening intro: there's this stuff called quicksilver. After that, the rest just falls into place. And yeah, it's quite funny and exciting, with a cast that plays off each other really well.
ReplyDeleteI think season 1 only came out fairly recently, and season 2 doesn't seem to be available yet.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a description that bodes very well for the reason of the series! I will say that they did seem to me to do a very good job of setting up the premise in the pilot.
