I may have found the reason to buy a Blu-Ray player

Ken Burns' The National Parks. The first episode was on last night, and OMG gorgeous! And this was with analog cable and my crummy not-full-HD television. Episode 2 is tonight. :)

In other TV news, I've been working my way through the first season of Torchwood and wondering why everyone disliked it so much. I mean, it's definitely not great SF, but I was enjoying teh pretty (Hi, Jack!) and tolerating the mediocre. And then yesterday afternoon, I watched They Keep Killing Suzie. Barf. Now I understand the haters.

Thanks, Nita!

She reminded me that there was one more thing I wanted to mention today.

Roman Polanski raped a child. What part of that do these people not understand?

I must go purchase something made in Switzerland. What do they make besides chocolate?
