- Discovered a meadow - with cows! - right in the middle of Oxford. Okay, yes, I'm sure everyone else already knew about Christ Church Meadow, and I had in fact seen one of the entrances to it, but I'd never investigated it. Cows! In the city!
- Went to see The A-Team. Da-da-duh-duuuuh, duh-duh-DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH... I practically bounced all the way home, feeling like I was seven again. EXPLOSIONS! Plans coming together! MORE EXPLOSIONS! Overkill is underrated! YET MORE EXPLOSIONS TIMES ELEVENTY! It was exactly like my memory of the A-Team, and not at all like actually rewatching the A-Team, IYSWIM. If you go see it, stick around until the end of the credits (unlike everyone else in the cinema with me - what is their hurry?).
They added a little more gravitas to the characters, which I kind of enjoyed. I loved the A-Team, but it was pretty silly. Hannibal was all very professional warrior, srs tactician, and still cigar-chomping originator of batshit insane plans. BA had a sweet little moral journey and kind of a terrible hairdo, and they actually explained his fear of flying, hoorah! Face was actually pretty similar to the series, except hotter and more manic. Murdock was more genuinely unhinged and a little less haha-he's-wearing-a-ballet-skirt (except for the bit with the blue paint, which cracked me up - oh, and stitching a lightning bolt into BA - and setting fire to Face...).
There's just something that gets me about four-person groups led by a colonel. :) Although I still maintain that it wouldn't have suffered if they'd made one (or more!) of them female - preferably Face, just to give Dirk Benedict conniptions.
And, dear god, the tank...
- Watched two more Mac S6 episodes, of which more later.
- Seriously underestimated RDA's capacity for incomprehensible text-speak. Zoiks.
- Also watched the last ep of Sherlock – only three eps? Boo. Also, bastards, for that ending. Loved the umpty-billion references to the original stories. V. fond of John.
- I'm sure there was something else...
- ...Nope, it's not coming back to me.
ETA: Oh, I remembered! My local shop is now selling kulfi lollies, in pistachio (my favourite!) and it makes me very haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

And I really shouldn't be squeeful that he's still only following her and two others (and I keep wondering if there's some significance behind the others both being called Jimmy. I don't know either of them - do they seem like people RDA might genuinely follow, or is he being random?).
"You should tweet!"
"Uh uh."
"Amanda does it!"
"...Okay."
"You should follow more people to make it seem like you're not just stalking Amanda."
"Oh, right. Let's see... Jimmy Fallon, yeah. And... hmmm... there's another Jimmy... oh, this is too hard."
*grins*
Hee. Yes, that is exactly how I've been picturing how he chose those two.
