Briefly...

Because I'd like a reasonably early night before work tomorrow...

Being Human finished tonight, but I'm fairly confident it'll be back for series two later in the year (or maybe next year... who knows?) suitably climactic, but unfortunately employed perhaps a little too much deus ex machina: the ghost of one of the people kept in the 'larder' at the vampires' stronghold suddenly turns up at the house and transports Annie back there... only outside, so she gets the opportunity to use her newfound poltergeist powers (suddenly completely under her control). One bad guy out of the way for good, but hints of more to come. Last, but not least, strong indications of a new member to the 'family'... whether she likes it or not. For all its flaws (more in this episode than the rest of the series?), it's still brilliant television, and superlative genre television, without anything like the strained efforts shown in the likes of Demons.

Didn't get everything I wanted done at the flat. That final bit of kitchen painting is really turning into a millstone. Figure I'd better pop over there after work one night this week (shouldn't be too tricky a week, to be honest), rather than let it drag on... as I just have this weekend.

Coffee table was a trial. Kept putting the wrong parts together, and was only rescued from utter failure by the wire coathanger my folks have been using for various things. Of course, having filled the drawers with DVDs, I realised that it'd be a better home for the Saturn, so it's always in the lounge.

Spent the rest of the weekend lazing around, watching videogame walkthroughs on YouTube. Some are very entertaining... Look out for "Let's Play..." playlists.
