Pushing Daisies

[giftederic]

I've just watched the first 4 episodes....

I'm loathe to say it is the best thing on TV at the moment, but it feels like it might be. Its just so dense. The last 3 hours feel like a whole day watching tv. And yet it is light and fluffy and so incredibly charming....

Seeing as I am here and inspired to write rave...
On tv... Castle is also very good. Dollhouse less so.  Leverage is just silly and contrived. House still has good writers though they struggle for consistency. Battlestar Galactica season 4 was rubbish.

On comics... Geoff Johns run in Action Comics is really very good.  Gary Frank is the best superman artist ever... Really.
Angel, After the Fall is also excellent (well mostly). Also good: Legion of Superheroes, All Star Superman, Justice Society of America.. .(I'm a bit of a DC fan). I don't actually buy comics themselves anymore. But the latest collections of all of the above were very enjoyable. Serenity: Better Days was good too (if a bit short).

On games. Agricola really is a brilliant game. There are better games than it (though not many), but there is something really enjoyable about building a farm. Highly recommended. Princes of Matchu Pichu is good, as is Lost Cities the boardgame. Name of the Rose is so so.

Chocolate recommendation: Michel Cluizel Mangaro Lait. Available in Dublin in Terroir in Donnybrook....

I reckon that's enough for a while... :)

I thought your post was going to be about death.

Frasier is still the best show ever! I am *loving* watching the final 4 seasons again as I only saw them once at Christmas. It's not distracting me from studying at all :)

And, no [wonder how you do that line through thing]list[/still wondering] mention of chocolate would be complete without Green & Black's mint :-)
