The Week in Entertainment

Film: I've Loved You For So Long. It was very good. Kristin Scott-Thomas was brilliant, and the supporting cast was excellent as well.

DVD: The fourth season of the new Dr. Who - and what happened? I never saw the episode Midnight before. My DVR didn't record it or anything. Did they not play it here? It's not a particularly objectionable one or anything. How odd.

TV: Psych. "I've been doing a little thing I like to call 'stalling' - and Rutger Hauer calls 'shtahllen'." "Why?" "Because he's Dutch!" I love this show. The Mentalist - Patrick Jayne enjoys his life (on the surface), and Simon Baker has the most engaging, joyful smile. Eleventh Hour - still good - and the same for Leverage.

Read: The Postman by David Brin (for the NL - see here). Voices by Arnaldur Indriðason. Started Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri. The first two stories were very good - especially the title story, a nuanced tale of a father and daughter who do not understand each other at all, now that the wife/mother who united them is gone.
