Jul. 12th, 2005 09:29 amUltraviolet was good. Watched it all.
See this is the problem with me watching series. I end up not stopping, and then there are issues when it turns into the next day without noticing.
There is not the usual helpful cleaning person today but a different person. Which is okay. They helped load the washing machine. They put rather more in than I would, and I suspect I'm going to be forever drying it all, but I can live with that. They are here extra early, 9am instead of a theoretical 12. And the other helpful person is apparently going to be late. This works out well, as there will be time in between for the sleeping part of the day. At least in theory.
Sleeping and laundry may be unmixy. Hmmm. This is what I get for lacking forward planning.
More writing will happen only after adequate sleep. So, maybe this time in the pm then.
Ultraviolet is good partly because it knew where to stop. It told the whole story and stopped. At the end the only thread that could really make a new story was the one where Jack was going to stay in contact. All the others were told. And it was about characters and relationships and feelings, and also incidentally moments of total creep. The sequence with the coffins approaching sunset was *perfect*. I've watched it like a billion times and I'm still all edge of my seat every time. I love that bit. Great 'action' sequences, but also lovely character interaction. I mean you could practically pick characters at random and / would be there. Except for that canon crush that kind of drives the plot, because really mate, grow up.
If she was the center of the story tho, it would turn out completely different. I mean if it was about her journey... actually, having her no good fiance come back only to tell her to 'Get a life' would work out with that focus too. It would be really depressing, but this isn't a happy ending kind of show. But once she dug down to the truth she found out it really wasn't about her, except for the parts that were but she was only using them so bigger fool her.
Er, I did mention the no sleep thing. Coherence went away hours ago. Is why I started to watch DVDs. No brain left and much insomnia.
I have pretty fingernails. Left hand is blue, 'Fuel', right hand is red, 'Celebrity Bash', and both hands has little gold shiny flecks, 'Vegas' I think. The index fingers wouldn't dry and kind of rubbed off again, but aside from that is very pretty and shiny.
I have to be awake for about twenty more minutes. Right now that seems really ambitious.
