in the daylight, anywhere feels like home

It's been such a World War II weekend for me. Inglorious Basterds yesterday (awesome film, lots of fun), then Casablanca this morning, and now Band of Brothers is being shown on Spike and I'm gonna watch it (and have fun playing a rousing game of "Hey, It's That Guy!" ETA: OMG, that was Simon Pegg with an American accent!).

Other than that, I finally got the chance to watch Cracker and witnes the magic that is D.C.I. David Bilborough, thanks to visiblemarket. I definitely enjoyed it, though TBH I'm glad it was just the first season, and that only three two-part episodes long. I got my fill of shows where the characters spend every single scene psychoanalyzing each other when I watched House. But otherwise, it's a good time. Bilborough was a treat when he stopped acting like a twerp, which was maybe a little rarer than I would've liked. Penhaligon was my favorite character, when she wasn't tempting Fitz to cheat on his wife. Though, that's another thing- during the second episode he seemed pretty thoroughly on the outs with Judith. Cut to episode three and they're back living together. How'd that happen? Ah well, it's not like I was in it for Fitz anyway. Sorry, Mister Coltrane.

Anyway, it's a big day tomorrow. My first trip to the Renaissance Festival in two years- I'm psyched. Yeah, that's what kind of dork I am, in case you're wondering. I don't have a costume, but I'm definitely in it for more than the turkey legs.

Also, got a music rec for ya'. You know that Bacardi commercial, where the guy walks backwards in time to get to the bar and order a mojito? Well, the song they play during it is "Daylight" by Matt & Kim. I ended up buying the album it's on a while back and finally got around to listening to it today. It's pretty darn good. A few of the songs have this neat sound that's kind of old and.. spacious. Empty, in a good way. Like standing in a big old theater, if that makes sense. And a lot of, if not all, of the songs have this strong, heavy beat to them that I like. Interesting stuff, for sure. Here, have "Daylight" on the house, I suggest you go get the rest.

Aww, he tries. He's just...well, he's kind of got a very narrow focus, perhaps. But he sure is pretty to look at, isn't he? I love Penhaligon too, although I really, really don't get her and Fitz; I like her better when she's threatening him or ignoring him.

So how'd you like Casablanca? It's one of my favorites but I never know how people are going to react to it.

And yay, Renaissance Festival! Have a great time!

I'm also downloading the song. Because I love that commercial.
