I hate Daylight Savings Time. It's still ten o'clock in MY universe.

Also ... I had something vital to follow that also with. At least, it was vital to me. Then I got distracted (oooh shiny) and can no longer remember what it was. I hate that too.

Finished watching Neverwhere, which I did not hate, except in the sense of "now I want more, how come it's over?" I couldn't persuade myself (and my sister) to stretch out the neatness a little longer. So: wicked cool, though I thought the scene near the end where Door opens the door and Islington, Croup and Vandemar go fwoosh (or possibly fwump) edged very near to outright silly. It's a lot easier to believe when reading it, I understand, which is probably why I bought the event in the book and found it quite difficult to take seriously when watching it.

My little sister's favorite character was the Marquis de Carabas. I liked him a lot, too. She was very upset when he died, and very happy when he came back, and positively ecstatic in the last scene -- "Coming?" The creepiest thing about Croup and Vandemar may very well have been the fluorescent light bulbs they kept carrying around. *shudders* I had such a tough time going back down to the (fluorescent lit) basement after that. Yes, I'm a wimp. I giggled at the frog thing, though, which I think might make me a pretty sick person. But it was funny!

Well, it probably looked silly because the special effects weren't very good in 1996. But I'm glad you liked it!

True, true. I was listening to Neil Gaiman's commentary on the dvds earlier and he was talking about how they were lighting the series so they could do something involving filters, and then the filters didn't get done or something, so things ended up looking very artificial in places. (Excuses, excuses. :P) In any event, that explains a lot, and, er, remembering the 1996 thing also helps. It was still very very neat overall and I'm glad I watched it. :)
