Well, would you look at that?

Huh, it's snowing.

Sadly, like smittywing, I discovered it was snowing via LJ...specifically via smittywing's post and darthrami's post. Hey, I was napping!

I got up way early today, mostly because my shoulder has really been bothering me, and decided to watch my 2 Netflix movies: Quinceanera and The Illusionist.

Adored the former; enjoyed the latter but totally clued in to the "twist" pretty early on.

Spent a little time reading email and then decided to nap after taking a pain pill.

Tonight marks the debut of The Dresden Files, based on Jim Butcher's fabulous series. I'm looking forward to the show. I've loved that series since I discovered it back just about the time that the 3rd book was debuting. I met Jim at Shore Leave that year and interviewed him for a now defunct book review site.

Really really unhappy with CW right now. Normally, with iTunes, the shows are available the next day, after air date. Supernatural seems to be the exception. Episode 9, Croatoan, has yet to be added. Episode 10 was only added on Wednesday, nearly a week late. Episode 11 hasn't been loaded yet, either. I sent email to iTunes, and evidently, it's CW's fault. They are the ones that make the files available and the schedule is up to them. Makes me a very unhappy camper. iTunes folks did reassure me that they are investigating.

I do have the recording from EyeTV, but the quality just isn't the best, plus, hey, commercials. Besides, I bought the iTunes season pass for the show, so damn it, I already *paid* for those eps! Grrr.

In any case - tonight promises to be a quiet night, most especially since I'm still groggy from the pain meds and will probably just crash early and watch my shows tomorrow after work.

Six Degrees of Fandom

Just watched the pilot of Dresden Files - not giving away anything, just amused at casting.

(1) Raoul Bhaneja who plays Det. Kirmani was Khaled in Touch of Pink

(2) The uncredited actor who is Uncle Justin...I'm POSITIVE it's Daniel Kash - a.k.a. Gardino on Due South. I can't prove or disprove, because there's no listing on IMDB under Dresden Files nor under Daniel Kash, but I'd bet a large drink on it. I squeed!

Overall impression - enjoyed it, a bit dark (lighting-wise) so I had trouble seeing and for some reason, my connection has bad sound, so it was really really low. There was a notice that it would be available on iTunes tomorrow, so I'll probably wait to react until I can buy a high-def copy and re-watch.

Not watching BSG right now, b/c I'm recording Brothers & Sisters. I will catch BSG on the iTunes d/l.

Going to take another pain pill and head off to bed.
