Why is gas so expensiiiive? D:

Met up with lyndsiefenele and sarea_okelani yesterday to see No Strings Attached, which was enjoyable enough. By no means a cinemastic masterpiece, but it was cute and had a few funny moments, so that pretty much meets my expectations for romcoms. I didn't understand the point of Cary Elwes' character, though I'm not complaining, as I am always happy to see Cary Elwes. Incidentally, why don't I have any Princess Bride icons?

Sarea also passed me S1 and S2 of Misfits, which I am tres excited to watch, since everybody seems to love it.

PBS is currently airing Downton Abbey; I missed the first couple of episodes, so am catching up at the Masterpiece website. I'm in the middle of what I think is originally ep 4 (PBS squishes the eps together to make one hour-and-a-half episode), and I am nonplussed at Matthew suddenly being jealous of the attention Mary's getting from the Turkish dude and that other lordy guy. I'm sorry, but so far, Mary's been nothing but a stuck-up bee, and nobody should be interested in her. Then again I say this while at the same time kind of liking Thomas, who is an asshole, and hoping he gets a happily gay ever after, so there might be something wrong with this picture.

I think that's the brilliance of Downton, for me -- Mary is such a complex character and it takes a long time to love her. But you will!

Thomas is my beautiful, beautiful baby and I spent the whole series wishing and hoping for him to be redeemed. You'll have to wait and see if he is or not. :D

Ooh, good, I look forward to it! I mean, I can think of several reasons why Mary is the way she is (as far as I've gotten in the series), but I'm hoping it'll be addressed in the actual show as well! Currently, though, I just don't see why Matthew would be attracted to her.

Heee, now I feel better for liking Thomas even though he is all scheming and whatnot. :)
