tilly_stratfordWhen you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the chills all over me
Ah, one more week and then vacation. Homesickness always seems to hit right when I get hold of the train tickets.
I've forsaken night trains, so I've got to consider my travel entertainment. I've got no more shiny Holmes audios I haven't listened to (well to be honest I've got a couple of pastiches left, but the last ones I listened to were so bad I can't bring myself to pick another up just yet. The actors are still great but oh God some of those scripts), so the question is what other audio candy I'll bring with me.
I've finished the first season of Dickie Dick Dickens, and I suppose I'll listen to another season sooner or later. It's cute and campy fun, but that old "let every secondary character be dumber than dirt to make our hero seem smarter" gets pretty tiresome. If I had to pick a secondary character that I feel is at all likeable, I'd go with Dickens' cat.
I suppose I'll just download some episodes of I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue from The Internet Archive, perhaps some Goon Show, and I'm set.
Oh, and I'll be bringing my old laptop along, preferably with some movies on it. When I returned to Bergen three weeks ago I watched The 5000 Fingers of Doctor T on the train (if you haven't heard of it, it's a musical by Dr. Seuss). I got some very odd looks. I hope I can find something equally weird for this trip.
Hey, I didn't know I had The Inspector General! Two hours of my eight-hour train trip will be spent on Danny Kaye, what could be sweeter?
*Sigh* Just another week.
