Friday's Watching Part I
Still no sign of Torchwood 11 in standard definition. I'm not downloading the monster high-def file. I think my laptop would choke on the playback. It didn't fair well with anime I tried it on and those are only half an hour long and I think there's less information in them. The filesizes of anime always seem to be half the size of live action stuff I download, so.. And Torchwood 12 airs tonight. I guess I can be patient. There's only a couple eps left before the end. But at least I will have new Doctor Who to console me.
The Diets That Time Forgot episode 1. A bunch of overweight Brits go back in time to try old-fashioned fad diets and exercise regimes to see if they can lose weight. One set is 'Victorian' and is following a diet rather like Atkin's. One is 'Edwardian' and is following the Chew-Chew diet, chewing each bite 32 times. The other is '1920's' and seem to be eating like rabbits. Seriously, where are they getting their protein? An American version of this would be interesting to see. Maybe we could have a Native American diet, something Western, maybe Pilgrims (enough of them starved that it's sure to work!), or Revolutionary War or Civil War.
I watched the extras on the Sound and Fury DVD.
Honey and Clover LA episode 9. I haven't quite finished watching it, but I will.
'Til Death. This is usually opposite something more interesting, so I haven't seen too many episodes. Which is just as well, because while it's good enough, it would annoy me in large doses.
