No internet
Our internet is out at home, so I've spent quite a lot of my work day catching up with online to-dos as well as checking in on facebook, DW, and whatnot.
With no Neflix*, D and I decided to rewatch S1 of Veronica Mars, which I have on DVD. Several thoughts, as of disk 1:
- I am ~twice Veronica's S1 age. But I dress more like her than probably any other television character. I'm not sure what to make of that. (Though I did realize this morning that I could cosplay Joan Watson just by switching my shorts for a short flippy skirt and my sneakers for ankle boots. Then again, I don't see myself ever wearing high heeled ankle boots, so. Scratch that.)
- What in god's name does Veronica see in that friend of Duncan's that she dates for a while?
- Keith Mars is soooooooo great. Not that I didn't already know. But it's worth repeating. Veronica's relationship with her father never failed to be awesome.
*Before we lost internet, I was watching Orange is the New Black. Um, no real thoughts to share just yet, but I like it so far! I especially enjoy its ensemble feel when it expands into characters and relationships outside of Piper's orbit. Not that I dislike Piper -- she's a good character -- but I think the show's at its best when it gives us an expansive view of the women in it.
