1. I managed two discs of Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters before giving up. It's possibly one of the most boring things I've listened to, and I no longer feel bad about not managing more than the first fifteen pages of the original novel.

2. I've got Agatha Christie's 'Murder is Easy' in the player now. And while it's not quite as bad, it's still a little boring. This is possibly because the main character is a dude, and his views on women are a bit paternalistic and annoying. For the fun of it, I watched the Marple adaption last night, where the thing was All About Women, and that made things a lot better. Also. I apparently have some sort of id reaction to Benedict Cumberbatch, because, um, he's not even all that attractive, but I quite enjoyed looking at him. (I now need to dig out my copy of The Last Enemy and watch it)

3. I've just been reminded he's the new tv Holmes. Um. Holmes is not supposed to be attractive, you know.

4. I should possibly go to work.

I just watched "Murder is Easy" on Monday when I got back from the beach and had the same reaction to that dude. He's so not my type. And yet.

*hands in the air* I wish I knew what it was that does it! sigh.

I finally realized that I recognized him as the evil creepy child molester from Atonement. Even in that he was very 'can't look away,' except in a creepy, evil, turns-my-stomach sort of way.

O.o That is sort of... freaky.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I liked Pride & Prejudice and Zombies, but Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters bored me to tears and I didn't end up finishing it.

It just... it never WENT anywhere. Or maybe it was simply that the characters were like little paper dolls and not real people? I don't know. SIGH.
