Entry tags:
books (okay, one book), some TV, and potential movie plans, and MORE!
My summer travels are really over, instead of mostly over. So you know what happens next. (Work. That's what happens next.)
I've been reading The Gift of Asher Lev, the sequel to Chaim Potok's well-known My Name Is Asher Lev. Someone should tally up how many times the author switches from past to present tense. It doesn't really bother me, and when I do notice, I can almost always pinpoint a reason for the switch (it's deliberate, not random), but it's definitely weird.
In addition to watching occasional episodes of Nikita (2010), I've started watching Longmire on Netflix. I'd call it a cowboy procedural. :) It's set in Wyoming, and the crime-fighters are a sheriff and his deputies. Katee Sackhoff is one of those deputies, which was part of the initial draw, but it's proven to be enjoyable as its own thing so far. I've watched maybe nine episodes?
As for Nikita, I'm about halfway through season two, and I'm not in a hurry to finish that, because season three isn't available on Netflix yet. Which probably means I won't be watching season four 'live' anytime soon. Hm. (Live usually means online within a week or so after it airs. That's how I watched Elementary, at any rate.)
One last TV note: I watched the first two episodes of The Bridge. It's a summer show on FX, a remake of a Swedish/Danish production. I actually used my blu-ray player to watch through Amazon's instant video service, which was way easier than watching on the FX website. (I did have to pay, however.) Anyway, I just couldn't keep watching: too much suspense waiting for another woman to get murdered, too much of Ciudad Juarez as "that place where the murders happen" and nothing else to the town. Too bad, though, because I really liked the possibilities of the show.
Seriously tempted to use Amazon's instant video thingy to watch Jim Caviezel's movie Savannah. Chiwetel Ejiofor is in it! And so is the woman who plays Sif in Thor and Thor 2. Anyway, maybe this weekend.
Any interest out there in a post filled with pictures of France? If yes, one big post or split into three or four?

I liked Longmire quite a bit last season though I haven't seen much of this season and I need to catch up. i'm from where they film it in NM, so I recognize some of the places and that makes it kind of cool in the 'spot the landmarks' way. :)

A couple of people at the PoI forum I go to said that they enjoyed it.
I like your plan for watching it. I haven't seen Outlander, but space viking goes really with with Norse god(dess), so... :D
You're from NM? Which part, if you don't mind me asking? (I'm not from there, I'm just curious.)
