Going to work is never easy for me, but going to work after leaving a party is even more difficult to do. Then when I got to work the very first thing that I had to was listen to another person in my department vent about their day prior to my arrival. There could not have been a more effective mood killer. Sigh.
At the party I was given a copy of Philip Pullman’s book The Golden Compass to read. Yes, I know that it is considered a children’s book, but I want to read it before I see the film with Nicole Kidman and Daniel Craig that opens in December. Many things about the book and the upcoming film have caught my interest. For example, I like the idea of people having an animal familiar of sorts or daemon as they are referred to in the book. From what I have read this daemon represents a person soul and exists outside their body in the form of an animal. I find that to be very interesting. That way a person’s true nature is seen by all and cannot be so easily hidden. Perhaps I am misinterpreting that part, but that is how I understand it.
By accident I found out the remaining episodes of the Taye Diggs series Daybreak were aired on ABC. I enjoyed watching the show last fall when it was a mid season filler during the Lost hiatus and was crushed when ABC decided to pull the show after airing five or six episodes. I never knew the end of the story. Now I know that the remaining episodes were shown to the public, but just in a different form. They were aired online only, but I had no idea that that had happened. I would have watched them in a heartbeat. Now I have to seek them out in other forms.
I may not have seen the final episodes of Daybreak, but I did see the final two episodes of season two of Doctor Who and I was impressed. The send off for Rose has to be one the best companion farewell episodes that I have ever seen in the series. Before I Saw Doomsday, I would not have considered her to be of the best companions, but her final scene is making me rethink my stance.
