pros and cons

Good things about getting your TV shows via the miracle of bittorrent:
- pause, rewind and skip though episodes
- no adverts
- watch them whenever, however and on pretty much whatever you want
- you get to see most American shows months before they hit England

Bad things:
- steaming through a batch of a dozen episodes in one sitting totally kills the suspense
- it also leaves you totally knackered
- not to mention hungry for moar, kind of like Chinese food…
- oh, and I hear it’s illegal? Not sure about that one

What brought this on, I hear you cry? I totally lay the blame squarely on Veronica Mars (and to a lesser extent Joss Whedon, who enthused about it so genuinely), a pretty sexy party which I gather I’ve arrived at a little late.

I think it’s just that I’ve been missing my weekly ration of obscenely cute blonde reporter since Smallville started sucking balls, but I’m all sorts of hooked into this. It’s so compelling that I stayed up watching it ’till 7.30 AM, having to be up at 9. Yes, maths-fans, I’m currently running on 90 minutes’ sleep. I did a lot of driving around today too, it’s a wonder anyone’s still alive, really.

I’ve had “We used to be friends” by the Dandy Warhols on repeat pretty much all day. It is the programme’s opening credits music.
