Wot I been up to while away.

So I've been away for some time now, over a month. Haven't been feeling well. But am somewhat better now. Have been listening to many podcasts, Perhaps I might write about them. New ones I have found, that I like are KCRW's Good Food, been listening again to StarshipSofa (Sci-Fi authors/fandom podcast/fanzine type thing.), Mark Kermode's Film Reviews (I remember Kermode from those old Mark Radcliffe Graveyard Shift Radio 1 days), and of course all the usual (including of course Buzz Out Loud and the TWIT casts).

Too many brackets, alas. Anyway been listening to a lot of Angelo Badalamenti (especially soundtracks to Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks and Lost Highway), hrm, been watching Twin Peaks too, erm Still reading Bonjour Tristesse in translation (with help).

I'm somewhat disappointed with the new series of The 4400, but I am still watching. It all seems to be about some impending Armageddon/police state/rapture and I'm not so big on these impeding doom/exaltation type things, and it's lost that subtlety that I thought it used to have (now it seems to scream drama loudly all the time - "promicin is is the road to heaven or perdition?") ; but anyway it's holding my attention enough to keep watching.
