Was that discussion of Blacksheep, ita? I've been out of movies for a few days.
No, sadly enough. Somehow passenger pigeons came into the mix, and you know how it is once topic gets lost--he who wikipedias fastest wins.
I've been embracing a "so what do other people do on the web?" approach this past week or so, and following links I wouldn't normally, pretending to be a surfer not named ita, and it's quite interesting. For some reason it seems a less work-impacting distraction than learning AJAX or Ruby On Rails, or something.
Oh! Yeah, the marsupial wolf is Thylacine. I can't wait to finish reading up on it.
One early European observer referred to it as "a kangaroo masquerading as a wolf" and decribed it as having the head and teeth of a wolf, the stripes of a tiger, the tail of a kangaroo and the backward-opening pouch of an opossum.
No wonder billytea is billytea. How fascinating is that?
Oh, and WTTW is showing two different series of Mystery at once and they're both On Demand. So I watched Jericho and Foyle's War tonight and then had to go look somebody up in Foyle's War. That show has six seasons and only 17 episodes total.
17.
Also, I didn't realize that (because I have watched Foyle's War only sporadically) David Tennant was in season 2.

That's ... really damn cool.
sumi, how do you like Jericho? I'm pretty sure this is at least the second one of those I've recorded, but I don't think I made it through the first one. I'll try this one again.
Which Foyle's is Tennant in? What accent does he use? I still haven't seen him use his normal one in anything other than Dr. Who Confidential.
Okay, off to bed. I think I can sleep now. Hopefully. Early start tomorrow mornind, and non-negotiable.
That's ... really damn cool.
Doesn't evolution rock?
ita, were you aware that Newsarama did an article on Martha Washington yesterday? FYI.
Dude. Thanks. Out of the comics loop these days, but will go look.
I didn't see the episode with Tennant - so have no accent intel. It was an early one. (But given that there are only 17. . . )
I'd completely forgotten that there was this
other
show called Jericho. But I enjoyed the first series and also enjoyed this one. (I think I did an almost 100% Brit tv evening - with the two mysteries and MI-5.)
Couple of nice images to see too. Enjoy.
Okay, re-checked IMDB - Tennant's in season 1, episode 3 "A Lesson in Murder."
I've got two air conditioners and a fan on, in a 500 square foot apartment, and it's still close to 80 degrees. This is not right.
