A new pope. Francis. I did wonder if there had ever been one of that name before and apparently there has not. People are already calling him Francis I but from what I read elsewhere you can't actually call someone the "first" if there hasn't been a "second". That makes sense. I don't really care one way or the other. Pope Frank works for me ;))) I was brought up Catholic but I don't consider myself any religion now. These days, if i was to choose one, I wouldn't choose RC, not with the ultra conservative stand they take on everything. Graham has commented occasionally that the Buddhist religion seems nice. Calm and reflective. Really, though, I just try to be a good person both to others and to myself, try not to be judgemental, and I do what's right for me as far as moral values.

The gym is going ok. Slowly progressing on the elliptical trainer.

Anxiously awaiting the returns of Game of Thrones and Mad Men, both Sunday night shows. I better make sure there are no other conflicts on the dvr so that they both record. Sometimes they're repeated in the middle of the night so i must investigate that if there looks to be any potential conflicts. Just finished watching the final BBC series of Being Human which was great! Their seasons are very short, just 6 episodes but all four (five?) seasons were really good. This last one was different, though, with new characters and I miss the original ones. It's about a ghost, a werewolf and a vampire living together. I think the original vampire actor left to be in the Hobbit. This guy, Aidan Turner. Absolutely gorgeous. I've tried to watch the American version of the show but it lacks something. If you've watched the original, you can compare the two and you'll see what i mean. The Vamp, wolf and ghost from the last season were good and i really liked the young guy that played the werewolf, and the character but the other two didn't do much for me and I don't think the three of them had the chemistry that the first trio had. If you have Netflix and can get the BBC series, do! It's violent at times but it's more "realistic" than golden glittery creatures.
