Played hookey from work and took the day off sick. Considering I slept through my alarm and woke up at 9.15am, I think it was for the best. Spent the rest of the morning asleep and then watched Nurse Betty and The Cat's Miao.

Nurse Betty was enjoyable. Only some of it was laugh out loud amusing, but it was entertaining. Renee Z is adorable in that film, an absolute sweetheart, and Alison Janney made me crack up. I love that woman's laugh, but I still think that she should avoid curls. They make her features look harsh, and she looks incredible with straight, thick hair.

The Cat's Miao was also good. Highly entertaining, and if you're a bit of a Kirsten Dunst fan like me, I'd recommend you see it. It also had... Oh, I can't think of her name, but she plays Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous.

Joanna Lumley.

If you like Joanna Lumley, I strongly recommend Sapphire & Steel. Joanna Lumley and David McCallum as weird time-police-type-things. It's the kind of show that makes no sense unless you're stoned.

Hee! Well, if I spot it, I'll have to watch.

That show was like watching grass grow at times but also strangely compelling at the same time.

*sighs mournfully*

I have them all on DVD. *bounce*

I still think the third series was the silliest, though. BBC effects are special at the best of times but having the Ultimate Villain be some chicken giblets in a plastic bag?

They were the Chicken Giblets of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Giblets of doom - I don't remember that !

And then I thought, it's that house where it was all about murdered animals getting their revenge...frankly Steel should have blatted the lot in episode one.

My favourite scene - in the library, staring at each other.

Nurse Betty?

This way lies the reason we didn't agree on Rules of Attraction.

I couldn't even get through Nurse Betty.

Well, the start was a little painful, but it paid off.

Renee Z was so adorable in it!

Plus, Allison Janney! *g* I think everyone who's ever watched West Wing has had CJ as their TV girlfriend for some period of time, and I'm not immune to her charms.
