Random Sunday babblings

Sorry about the butt-dialling today, drhoz. I usually have the phone locked; must've forgotten :-)

I think I'm headed for the world's most boring week coming up. Two days at work, third day, flu shot (go home, fall asleep), rinse, repeat. Except not the flu shot. This weekend I spent doing home jobs Saturday, some writing/messing around and Sunday visiting M and playing Scrabble. I also have been binge watching a very intense SYFY original called Helix. I already know it gets cancelled at the end of the season I'm watching, so I hope they at least tie up some of the loose ends. It's got the CDC and a new deadly pathogen and a powerful company with a plan to fix world overpopulation - what's not to like?

Last random observation: I got a t-shirt with "I make stuff up" printed on it, after seeing stephen_dedman with one the last couple of years. I really liked it, so I wore it to work last Friday. In the lift, this guy from the CPSU got in, saw the shirt and started chortling. "What stuff up did you make?" he asked me.

I am never wearing that shirt near the work building ever again.

All in the inflection, I guess.

Helix sounds like my kind of show but it's a shame it was cancelled. A lot of shows that sound awesome to me get cancelled!

I thought it was very good and the science seemed believable to me. I had to take a lot on faith because I'm not good with science, but they seemed to at least try. The show was very intense and sometimes bloody and had as many twists as Lost. Not what I was expecting when I started watching, which was more "this set of characters from the CDC will have adventures."

I'd recommend it even though it got cancelled. They did a fairly good job of tying up loose ends, though you could tell more was possible. Oh, and there's a petition to save it :-)

I'd also recommend trying not to get too attached to any of the characters!
