fray-adjacent

Our internet is out at home, so I've spent quite a lot of my work day catching up with online to-dos as well as checking in on facebook, DW, and whatnot.

With no Neflix*, D and I decided to rewatch S1 of Veronica Mars, which I have on DVD.  Several thoughts, as of disk 1:

 - I am ~twice Veronica's S1 age.  But I dress more like her than probably any other television character.  I'm not sure what to make of that.  (Though I did realize this morning that I could cosplay Joan Watson just by switching my shorts for a short flippy skirt and my sneakers for ankle boots.  Then again, I don't see myself ever wearing high heeled ankle boots, so.  Scratch that.)

 - What in god's name does Veronica see in that friend of Duncan's that she dates for a while? 

 - Keith Mars is soooooooo great.  Not that I didn't already know.  But it's worth repeating.  Veronica's relationship with her father never failed to be awesome.

*Before we lost internet, I was watching Orange is the New Black.  Um, no real thoughts to share just yet, but I like it so far!  I especially enjoy its ensemble feel when it expands into characters and relationships outside of Piper's orbit.  Not that I dislike Piper -- she's a good character -- but I think the show's at its best when it gives us an expansive view of the women in it.
