…just a little unconnected by the by…you know how cigarette smoking isn’t shown on screen very much anymore…?..I think that this is the first time that I’ve seen a character vaping as is shown with Natasha…and I wonder, hmmmmm…was that part of the character that they wanted to have or was it a personal request of hers because in real life, she has given up cigarette smoking but atm, vaping is something she hasn’t yet been able to quit but is apparently trying to…

… @Benjamin …

…after the three episodes of Poker Face yesterday, the programming went straight into this series…it’s not one that I’d heard of before but it looks pretty good actually from the little bit I watched but I was very tired…I think there are quite a few seasons…I’m going to check it out in the next few days, it’s an Australian/New Zealand production…anyway, it might be something that you might like as well…
