Well, Shadow has just gone and gotten his dang self arrested and he’s watching an episode of Cheers in detention. Meanwhile, in television land, Maribou and I are in the middle of Disc 3 of Season 4 of Burn Notice (Michael Weston gets his dang self shot). And sitting on the footstool in front of the couch? JCVD. A blu-ray I picked up for 7 bucks and change that tells the story of out of work actor Jean-Claude Van Damme who happens to be at a bank when it goes and gets its dang self robbed.

All I need now is time.

So… what are you watching and/or reading?

  1. Not exactly current, but I recently watched 3 Idiots and Kahaani. I don’t normally watch Bollywood (and I don’t understand Hindi anyway), but these 2 are gems which I would recommend to others. Make sure to get one with Subs

    As far as reading goes, I’ve been reading the english translation of a japenese light novel series: A Certain Magical Index. This one is as addictive as hell at least once you get used to the writing style.

  2. I watched the pilot of The Americans and it was pretty kick-ass. I might watch the second ep tonight if I don’t fall asleep. Everyone get in on the ground floor of this one, it seems pretty great.

    Still have some Portlandia to catch up on.

    • Me too. What do you think? I really liked the first episode, and feel like it’s been coasting with a few good moments since.

      I’ve also been watching the Canadian show Endgame on Hulu, which I’m enjoying.

  4. I watched Taxi Driver over the weekend, and I have finally started watching Arrested Development on Netflix. I am not sure why I never got around to watching it when it was on TV.

  5. I read the Jerusalem Chronicles. I watched HALF of the 2nd season of Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, only to discover that the 2nd disc was cracked… waiting on a replacement, and watching the 2nd season of Republic of Doyle in the mean time (and Burn Notice, as Jay said above).

    I am about to start reading a romance novel about dragons that my officemate SWEARS is really good despite the awful cover. She has been right about such things before, so I am maintaining an open mind.

    • I meant to say – if you like cop or PI shows AT ALL, it’s worth giving Republic of Doyle a try. Funny, well-acted, good balance between long-term arcs and murder-of-the-week.

  6. I continued with Season 2 of Friday Night Lights. I’m dismayed to find that Television Without Pity, whose recaps I really enjoy, has been hacked.
