inmyriadbitsThree more positive things:
1. I have triumphed over my TV! Specifically, I have fixed the problem where old TV shows (i.e., 4:3) streaming on Netflix turned all my favorite characters into slightly squashed versions of themselves. It was an embarrassingly easy fix (not, as you would think, a matter of changing the TV aspect ratio, but changing the settings on my BluRay, duh), but still -- victory is mine! :)
2. Another free Fossil bag hand-me-down from my aunt. (This is the third one; I'm starting to wonder if she's doing it on purpose.) It is a very pretty green tote-ish shaped bag, and I really like it.
3. After realizing that the "first episode" of Lewis that is available everywhere is not, in fact, the first episode, I spent several hours yesterday trying to obtain the actual pilot. I tried everywhere -- I was totally willing to give ITV a fair sum of money to view it, but it could not be found for love or money, unless I wanted to commit fraud and also obtain a valid British billing address, or unless I wanted to buy a DVD boxset for $50. But then I found a link!...and it was expired. So I sent a plea out into the void, and I just got notified that the links have been updated! Thank you, generous internet stranger. ♥! I am passing the time until K gets home to watch with me by watching that other show about a grumpy Oxford copper -- since I can now watch Inspector Morse without being driven mad by the messed-up aspect ratio (see #1).
