This is the first of a new series of monthly updates that replaces my old Star Selections and also the book posts. I plan to use these to help compose the Coven Awards, as I never remember what I've watched during the year when I scrabble around on the 29th December desperately putting together a years worth of crap!
I was going to post this in a couple of days, but Tim's disgust at my little pun in the last post has made me want to move on. Quickly.
So, anyway, here's the post proper:

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so, I'm sorry for this travesty, Cookie! It's no imitation at all - Not a convincing one, anyway - but, still, I hope you're flattered, all the same.
For those that have even the slightest interest, here are some links to my month's viewings, readables and audible pleasures - The ones worth blogging about, anyway:
TV - Being Human, Episodes*, No Ordinary family, Primeval
Books - Star Trek Typhon Pact: Zero Sum Game, by David Mack, USS Enterprise Owners' Workshop Manual, from Haynes
Music - Blade Runner Trilogy, 25th Anniversary, by Vangelis
* Not actually sci-fi, but I'm watching it all the same.
I like the workshop manual!
ReplyDeleteI have Space Shuttle Operator's Manual.
What a novel...er periodical idea.
ReplyDeleteWhen I received my prize from you in the mail and it said "book" on the customs form, I feared it might be a Star Trek novel.
ReplyDeleteI was pleasantly surprised to find "The Little Book of Essential Foreign Swear Words" instead.
Feckin' right I was.
Being Human was good the other day... and Episodes is warming up... and I lked your pun... so please feel flattered.

I watched the first 20 minutes of the first episode of No Ordinary Family. At least I think that's the one I watched. The one where they crash in South America.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't take. At all.
Can't wait to watch Being Human. Primeval looks a tad scary.
xl: Ah, the Space Shuttle Manual. Always handy if it crash lands in your back garden. I've seen The Core, so I know it can happen!
ReplyDeletePrincess: Indeed.
MJ: Perhaps you'll get a Star Trek book next time - I'm not sure a couple of posts about William Shatner's wigs certify you as a Star Trek fan?
Miss Scarlet: I loved the end of Episodes episode 2 and the stream of swearing!
'Petra: No Ordinary family gets better. The first ep was a bit of a clunker, but it's shaping up to be a nice little show.
Being Human is AWESOME!
Primeval, less so. The only thing really scary is the horrific acting from ex-S Club 7er Hannah Spearritt.
Not just William Shatner.
ReplyDeleteYou must have missed these…
Janice Rand and Lieutenant Uhura!
Eeep!
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't miss them. I just forgot them.
Although, how I could have forgotten such elaborate 'do's is unfathomable.
I am disgusted. Although I can't comment on it in such a public forum.
ReplyDeleteLove the cover. Well done IDV!
ReplyDeleteTim: Disgusted? With this post as well?
ReplyDeleteThere's just no pleasing some people.
Snooze: Ta!
