damkiannaMan, I definitely should not have waited as long as I did to start fixing my pants when they began developing holes; good thing I had barely anything else to do, or I could never have blown through multiple patches on each of four pairs in just a few days. I actually like sewing pretty well - it's pinning the patches in place beforehand that I don't care for, because it usually takes me quite a while to get it just right. :P (Of course, my inclinations toward perfectionism probably don't help.)
Fortunately, it wasn't nearly as dull as it could have been, because there was a Burn Notice marathon before the new episode on Thursday. :D And then the new ep! I can't quite say that I love Jesse yet, but I am all set to heart him bigtime, once we get to know him a little better. And I loved the scene where he figured out what Michael wanted, once Michael glared at him enough. :D I also love that Jesse is now living in Madeline's garage - I'm glad he's sticking around.
And, of course, a lot of my squish is for Michael. Oh, Michael. I cannot even. After so many seasons of 24, I adore Michael's distaste for torture, both practical and personal, and his face, when he heard Jesse screaming over the phone - this show really has my number. And him telling Jesse he was good with Jesse vowing to kill the guy who burned him, knowing that he's just guaranteed Jesse's probably going to hate him later - and he wasn't lying: he really is good with it, because he's so sure he needs to be punished for what he did. I'm a real sucker for that kind of extreme competence in one arena + self-flagellation about everything else; it's probably a big part of why I like Tony Stark, Harry Dresden, and Xena so much. ^^
And Madeline! I loved her swap from "You know - somebody who doesn't sleep with a gun under their pillow," at the beginning to "... What kind of sissy wouldn't sleep with a gun under their pillow, anyway," at the end. :D And Fiona - always so eager to start shooting people. Also, her working on the truck was mad hot. **fans self** (The one thing I really don't want is for them to try to set up some kind of love triangle with Jesse. Please, please, please, no. D:) And Sam! "I already hate everything about this." Oh, Bruce Campbell. You are love. Point is: HEARTS IN MY EYES. I am so far from objective about this show, it's a little ridonk. /o\
M came over a couple times; it's probably a good thing that we haven't sunk into another three-hour sexism-and-racism chat. As important as that conversation obviously is, I think it's best to space these things out a little, give yourself a chance to think things over in between long talks.
Relatedly, my feelings about the A:TLA movie are stronger than I think I had previously realized. The screencaps I've seen, and the previews that are starting to show up more and more often on my TV, just ... make me kind of ill. I was never planning to see the movie when it came out in theaters, but I was expecting it to feel like a wrench to have to skip it, and right now? It really is not feeling that way at all. I don't feel angry so much as frustrated - and, okay, I need to stop talking about this, because there are warning signs that I'm about to make myself cry. Just, blergh.

ladiesbigbang; this one conversation is slowing me down, I have to make sure all the pieces make sense, but once I get through this scene, it should pick up a bit. (Also, I need to remind myself to let it go a little - if it's not perfect, I can always fix it later, self!) It's funny; I've spent so much time with Yue in various little fic-bits that I actually have trouble remembering how little time we spend with her in canon. Also, of course, I need to actually finish the show; helpful as the wiki is, it'll be good to get the last couple DVDs from Netflix. :D
And now I should really stop posting and pay attention to the World Cup. I'm not intense about soccer, but I like it well enough - and, hey, maybe watching the Cup will turn me into a fan.
