I’m all sulky now. Netflix estimated that my next two DVDs would be here today — Serenity and the third series of Red Dwarf — and they’re not, and I can’t figure out whether the mail will be delivered tomorrow. Probably not. Bloody sluggish postal service. Now I’ll have to wait until Monday. ::sob::

I should just buy the DVDs. They’re on my list of to-get items, but unfortunately that’s kind of a long list at the moment, and there are several other DVD sets jostling for prominence on it. Mostly British series, actually: The Young Ones, Chef, all the Blackadders (to replace my VHS sets, which have all inextricably tangled their respective innards in my VCR over the years), and, should the BBC ever release them, A Bit of Fry and Laurie.

Side note: While watching the first series of RD, I realized that Mark Williams, who plays Arthur Weasley in the HP films, also played Petersen in a couple of RD eps. It’s a very small and only occasionally reccurring role (after all, almost all the crew gets killed midway through the first episode, which kind of limits their screen time), but still kind of cool.

Well, I thought it was interesting.

*Explanatory note for those who have not watched Red Dwarf, which is probably most of my friends: One of the delightfully horrible characters on RD is named Rimmer. If you are too young to remember the early/mid-1980s “I want my MTV!” commercials, back when the channel was all shiny and new and vaguely controversial and actually played music videos, then please don’t tell me because I’ll have to go away and lie down with a warm cloth on my forehead and sip restorative teas, and there goes my whole long weekend.
