Random stuff

While I was sick, I was watching the first season of Numb3rs. I like, I like! I ♥ Larry, and Charlie, and Don, and Alan. I love how Charlie and Larry relate everything in the world to maths and physics. The science geek in me is squeeing at how much of the science is correct (if sometimes oversimplified). (Ionizing radiation! Electron orbits! Binary data envisaged as millions of coins flipping head or tails!)

So yesterday, I tried to find the second season on DVD, and I couldn't find it anywhere. So I finally resorted to ordering it from Amazon, but that means I have to wait weeks before I can watch season 2. Wah!

In other news, I have decided that my favourite Tim Tams are Double Coated and the new Honeycomb Crunch (thanks to sallymn for pointing out its existence).

Whee!!!! Isn't S1 of N3 just the greatest?

I will warn you that there were some unexpected changes in S2, but I got used to them and have come to love the additional characters. S2 has some really, really solid stuff in it, but just don't be too thrown by some of the changes.

As for the science and math being accurate . . . that's one of the things the show (and its science and math consultants) pride themselves on. :-)

ETA: Tim Tams are very yummy. One of my favorite things that Geo brought back from his trip Down Under. (My mostest fave thing was the opal pendant he brought me.)

Well, I gather that there's this "Megan" person, who is going to make a couple with Larry, so I'm looking forward to seeing her.

Well, naturally, opal pendants trump Tim Tams.

I think the closest description of Tim Tams I can give to US folks is that they're like chocolate-coated chocolate Oreos, though the "cookie" part isn't as dark.

Yes, you appear to know about Megan. :-) I'll admit she made me twitchy at first, but once I figured out she wasn't flirting with Charlie but was genuinely interested in his approach to problem-solving, I started to really like her.

Of the foodstuffs Geo brought back from his trip, the Tim Tams were my fave. The Violet Crumbles were okay, though hard candy bars are not really my thing. And the musk Lifesavers were just . . . weird. They tasted like perfume to me, but Geo really liked them. And sadly, the beer he discovered and declared to be his favorite, VB, isn't available on this side of the Pacific.

Oh, and of course there's the Lamington recipe. Good stuff.
