Maius Intra Qua Extra

I finally received the Broadchurch Series 1-3 box set in the mail today! It was supposed to have arrived early last week and I was starting to worry that it had gotten lost in the mail; very few things arrive this late, even from across the pond. It's a bit amusing to me that I own the Series 1 DVD (purchased as soon as I saw the series but before series 2 had aired), the Series 1-2 box set (purchased right after series 2 aired), and now the full series box set. I think this is a sign that I have a problem.

It's also very interesting that I already have series 3 on blu-ray, a full month before the show is even going to start being shown here in the States.

As soon as I got it, I popped in the series 3 blu-ray, because I'd heard that Hardy's complete date scene was to be included on it and, well, that's a must-see. Well, the extras really aren't very impressive, and no, there isn't anything titled "DI Hardy's Amazing Date" among them, but there are deleted scenes, and there are a few that really fill out the story.

Here they are, behind the cut, because spoilers...

I suppose I should put this behind a cut, since it's somewhat spoilerific.

Meanwhile...

Life's been kind of a mess. At work, we've had a few emergency issues, causing me to work all weekend. Well, I worked all Saturday. I was more or less on-call on Sunday, but had to work for about half an hour every two to three hours, meaning that in between, I was pretty much just waiting to be told to work again. I'm rather tired right now.

I'm also a bit swamped with writing. I haven't done much recently, but I just got a few good ideas (including a new installment for Calling the Doctor) and I can't work on them because I have too much to do. I have to work on my entry for the Minor Characters Ficathon, and I'm afraid I'm just going to have to go with only half of my idea. Luckily, it's a two-part story that can easily be cut down the middle. I also have to write my final assignment for my last writing class. And I have a couple of other things I'm supposed to be working on. I just need to survive the month, I suppose! And then there's Camp Nanowrimo in April. I suppose that will be a WIP dash like last year.

Oh, and I'm learning to play trombone. That has been a blast.

Anyway, that's me for the week. The title of this entry is not really applicable. The grouchy part is, but not so much the thin part.

Introducing my new Funko Pop! mod - DI Alec Hardy! Pic and description under the cut.

Watched episode three last night.

FUCK.

My heart was pounding for a good fifteen minutes after it was over (much like it did when I watched the final episode of "The Escape Artist"), and it's starting again as I think about it.

No spoilers here. Just... FUCK.

Broadchurch 2 tomorrow! Eeeeee!
