Watched first disc of MI-5 season 1 last night. It's such a great show. And the reviews on Netflix are a riot, because everyone gives it five stars or one, mainly because the first episode is about American anti-abortion terrorists blowing stuff up in England. The show also has a running plot involving various US security agencies, and as such there's a constant commentary on the US in the program -- what's interesting is I'd say they get us about 70% to 80% right, and the part they get wrong is just fascinatingly bizarre. It weirds me out that this makes people angry -- I mean, do they think we're 100% right about our perceptions... of say... the French? Anyway, great program, and I also forget how scrumptious the lead actor is in a Clive Owen sort of way.

In other news... do I feel like I have no momentum this week about my acting career or what? I know... stupid week to be bitchy... it's short and following the RNC, I don't think there's life in the audition process again until next week. Also, it's not like I've not been using the time in terms of acquiring skills and sanity.

In 1820 the largest economy in the world was China. #2? India. Sound familiar? Wish I knew more about 1820 to talk about it further, but that tidbit appeared in Fortune magazine in response to reader concern about the rise of Asian economic power.

In other news -- I'm going to Germany in about 10 days.

I'm realy irritable and can't concentrate on anything (and I've tried a long damn list, let me tell you). It's like my brain is itchy. And yes, you needed to know. Feh.
