New Show Love

fuschia came over and showed M and I the first half dozen episodes of Veronica Mars. I am completely hooked. This yet another excellent show that I didn't see until years after it was canceled. Alas. The writing is witty, yet doesn't feel completely stylized, and Veronica makes mistakes and thus escapes the Mary Sue trap, and even the assholes have motives and inner lives. My current theory about the big mystery (who killed Veronica's best friend) is that the mother did it. I may even be right.
The theme song has wormed into my brain, and (something new for me) I want the soundtrack. (Also, I am now in lust with Amanda Seyfried, though apparently I come late to the party.)
Anyway, it took an effort of will to stop watching, make some supper, and pick up a friend at the train station. (At least it wasn't the airport.) M and I made plans to socialize tomorrow, and tomorrow should be lovely, but I'm tempted to blow everything off and watch the remaining 16 hours all at once.
Oh, new crack, how I love thee.
