What’s Greg watching these days?

Shamelessly stealing Rob’s post, here’s a rundown of what I’m watching at the moment, apart from the few breaks I take to study ;)

  • Heroes – I loved the first season, I haven’t yet watched the first episode of the second.
  • Battlestar Galactica – As Rob says, what a cliffhanger at the end of the third season! Looking forward to Razor.
  • Californication – A very amusing David Duchovny plays a heavy drinking, heavy smoking writer who sleeps around a lot and wrestles with an uneasy relationship with his ex-wife, his daughter and is various other friends. Very funny, worth checking it out.
  • Studio 60 – This comes from the genius behind West Wing, Aaron Sorkin. Unfortunately, it was cancelled after the first season, but it’s well worth a watch.
  • Grey’s Anatomy – Lost touch with this at the end of season 3, so I’m going to need to recap before starting on the next.
  • House – The hilarious Hugh Laurie just gets better and better in this, currently watching season 3.
  • Prison Break – The first season was incredible, the second season mixed, the opening episode of the third season has neatly extended the plot line sufficiently. I’ll reserve judgement on the new direction!

    • Apart from these regulars, I’m looking forward to checking out Jericho and Criminal Minds. I also am sorely missing Veronica Mars so might check out ‘Chuck’ as Rob suggests.

    London Soundtrack

    So, apart from studying, I’ve decided to make full use of the great collection of gigs in London by going slightly crazy on Ticketmaster. Listed below are the gigs I currently have tickets for. If there’s a (*) after the name, then it means I have a spare ticket…so get in touch!

    The Fray & Pete Yorn (* but a lot of interest so far!)
    Maroon 5 & Dashboard Confessional (taking my youngest sister)
    Mika
    Seth Lakeman (*)
    Plain White T’s (*)

    Still to book:

    The Thrills
    Kate Rusby

    I love London.

    Back to academia

    I’ve just returned from a very relaxing 4 days in Switzerland. We stayed in a mountain-top town called Leukerbad and enjoyed thermal baths, a cable car ride up to c.3000m and lots of good food and wine. We explored the area around Brig in the canton of Valais, known for it’s extremely high amounts of sunshine and great wine. I think I discovered one of my favourite places in Switzerland as well, a village called Rosswald at 1800m. All the photos can be found here.

    Now, I’m preparing to return to study at College of Law, starting the LPC on Thursday. I’m looking forward to getting back to my legal studies, despite having had over a year away from education! I’m sure I’ll have more to report on this weekend.
