Back from Vienna

[wiseheart]

No luck with Sherlock - The Casebook. The nice lady at Thalia looked up every shop of the chain in town, but neither of them had it. Yeah, I know, I should have mailed them beforehand, but school was being so insane, I kept forgotting it.

In any case, we went to the Christmas market - which was really disappointing this year -, to a fine, old-fashioned (and hair-raisingly expensive) café, just because we felt we deserved it, and I got some things, after all. Like Season 2 of "Tour of Duty" on DVD, as well as the mini-series "World Without End", a DVD about medieval knights, a Camelot film starring Sean Connery, some chocolate and a full-blown cold. Oh, and my back's protesting. So, it was a very industrious trip. *g*

"Tour of Duty" was a show I really admired. Having studied the American involvement in Vietnam in some detail in college, I found it a much more realistic portrayal than previous American tellings of American involvement in that conflict. The films "Apocalypse Now" and "Platoon" each presented powerful stories, but they were both almost mythical in their telling. "Tour of Duty" felt very much more a human-level tale.
