and my soul is in cathay

Well, okay fine. You caught me.

I haven't updated in a very long time. That's true. Most of my recent time was spent in Washington DC for a family reunion of sorts, and then to Maine for work on Hansel & Gretel. After I got home for that, I promptly got myself addicted to Veronica Mars.

The show is about a 17 year old girl named (woah!) Veronica Mars. Her father is a private detective after being run out of the Sheriff's office when he accused Jake Kane, father of the murdered Lilly Kane, who just happened to be Veronica's best friend. Over the course of the year between Lilly's murder and now, Veronica has gone from being relatively popular, dating Duncan Kane, to being an outcast, gossiped about, and becoming calloused and cynical. This, of course, results in hysterical mystery solving.

I just finished the season finale, and damn, was it good. I had heard a lot of people call it "the new Buffy," which was hard to swallow (cuz I love Buffy). But I watched the first episode in reruns, and then didn't download the rest. Anyhow, it's been wonderful, and I've loved it.

This means that I've added Veronica Mars to my list of totally obsessed television shows:
+ Buffy the Vampire Slayer
+ Angel
+ Firefly
+ House
+ Lost
+ The L Word
+ The OC
+ Veronica Mars

And now, I promise to return to my regularly scheduled program of frequent blog updates. Promise!
