Television geekiness

Work was pretty good today. I had some time to indulge in some surfing and came across a few items that I'll be renting off netflix:

-Season 5 of the Highlander is out.
-Seasons 1-4 of Jeeves and Wooster (based on novels by P.G. Wodehouse, a libran born on October 15th, I believe)

And bouncing around, I found out there was a series spinoff of the Anne of Green Gables miniseries called Road to Avonlea. I've mentioned before that one of my dirty little secrets is the Lucy Maud Montgomery series. I read them a few times as a younger lass. Netflix doesn't currently carry the series, but I put in a title request. We'll see if they comply. Otherwise, it looks like I can buy copies of the series off ebay, but for $50 a season.

Feh. Besides, if they are anything like the mcnasty third installment of the Anne of Green Gables series that shows Gilbert and Anne in WWI, I'll just spit. Spit flames. Spit acid and flames. I was not pleased with that treatment, mainly because by then Anne should have been old enough to have grown children who, in the book, actually went to WWI.

Oh well. We shall see.

Nextel Phonewatch: It's here in Sacramento! But I figure it won't make it out for delivery until tomorrow or the next day.

Tonight, we have jogging on the menu.

Hey gadget-awaiting-sistah'. My iPod and iTrip should be arriving tomorrow too.

As for your miniseries'... I'm still waiting for "Anne Does Avonlea."

Oh, she did Avonlea. She had a threesome with Gilbert Blythe and Moody Spurgeon.

No, Road to Avonlea was better than Anne of Green Gables III (which was an embarrassment to Canada). It's sort of young (geared towards that 8-12 market) but Sarah Polley is an excellent actress and it's fun watching her develop!

Phew. That's good to know.
