Rather late to the party but I'm really enjoying the various AMC series that make up Anne Rice's Immortal Universe. I've finished Interview with the Vampire and am now working my way through the Mayfair Witches before I watch Talamasca: The Secret Order

Went to see Bad Lads at the Unity Theatre this evening, part of this years Homotopia festival. I can't say I enjoyed the performance - I found it challenging and unsettling. I am glad I went to witness it though.
