DVD rentals

When I need a break from the school work I pop in a DVD from Netflix. Lately I have been doing a marathon viewing of Babylon 5. I'm just finishing up the first season. I have also started watching "The Last Detective" TV series staring Peter Davison playing a nice detective named Dangerous Davis. The key word here is "nice." All the other detectives are "modern" and a bunch of jerks. Dangerous is "old-fashioned" and therefore cares about the victims. Everyone can be very cruel to Dangerous but Davison pulls it off very nicely. It's a pleasant show to watch.

Last fun book

Since my last quarter has started up, I only had time for one last fun book to read. It was "Black is the color of my true love's heart" by Ellis Peters. I have always loved her Brother Cadfael books but never read any of her other books. This is a modern day mystery starring Inspector Felse. I enjoyed it because it was quite twisty and turny. I never guessed the ending even up to the last few pages. It wasn't as fun or engaging as Brother Cadfael but it was a nice read. So, now all I will be reading will be text books and journal articles.
