… in cartoons (e.g. Batman, Wolverine And The X-Men) never have keyboards with anything written on the keys?

As I’ve probably mentioned before, our main business is selling organic, chemical-free pet health products to help treat a variety of common ailments, although we specialise in Canine Parvovirus (and Feline Panleukopenia, the cat version of Parvo).

The longer we run this business, and the more pets we help treat (we’ve dealt with over 3,290 cases since March 2007!), the more it astounds us how so many people seem happy to sit there and watch their pets die right in front of their very eyes.

Part of the problem is (more…)

A few posts ago, I wrote about a new TV series “Bored To Death“, where the initial episode very nearly did bore me to death.

Having continued watching this strange series, I am happy to say that it has actually become very enjoyable and entertaining after all (with an episode called “The Case Of The Beautiful Blackmailer” being the highlight so far).

The show follows one main character, Jonathan, who is a pot-smoking, wine-drinking author whose girlfriend has left him (precisely because he smokes too much pot and drinks too much wine) and who decides to become an unofficial private detective.

You can perhaps see, from this, why I was at first not that enamoured of the show.

Jonathan has two main side-kicks - Ray, a cartoonist, and George, the somewhat eccentric owner of a magazine.

However, to call George, played by Ted Danson, a side-kick is a shade unfair because to me, he is what provides the spark that has ignited this series. (It should be noted too that Ted Danson plays a very different character to Arthur Frobisher, the role he had in another great series, “Damages“.)

So, I have no problem in revising my earlier views on “Bored To Death“, which I sincerely hope will continue to at least a second series.
