damkiannaOh, I am SO USELESS. D: I was pretty crabby and tired for most of the week that my parents were gone - you have to do so much more stuff when nobody else is around to help out. :P And since then I've just been marking time until I was done with work.
Which was Tuesday. Monday, I took a tin of fudge in to the office - a bit embarrassing, as our tins seem to have kind of a cowboy-Christmas theme going, but everybody liked the fudge, and over half of it was gone by the time I took the container back home Tuesday afternoon. (I ... may have helped demolish it, just a little.) And Tuesday was apparently bring-your-dog-to-work day, so it was very relaxed; I spent about a quarter of it rubbing dogs' bellies, and three-quarters reading a book on graphic design, in preparation for complex things I may soon have to do.
As noted, I am all caught up on Burn Notice. I have nothing in particular to say, except TEAM IS HEARTS FOREVER, and also MADELINE. Well, okay, maybe a couple quick things. I thought the first ep back was pretty shaky for maybe the first half-hour - they didn't do a great job with the lawyer's characterization, that whole part was not great. But I'll admit that I'm a sucker for the ones where Michael has to access a real and sometimes unpleasant bit of himself in the course of getting the bad guy. :D So that kind of evened things out.
I'm glad Maddie stepped in and got Jesse and Michael sorted out; that part was awesome. And as for the finale: oh, Fiona. Your delivery gets a little shaky when you're trying to be distraught, but that was pretty damn fantastic anyway. I loved their clasped hands over the grenade thingy - so very them. And SAM, homg. SAM AXE FOREVER.
I finished ordering presents for family members yesterday, which means they will all be here by tomorrow. Friends, I do not yet have sorted, but it's looking like it'll be a bit longer before I see them, so I still have time. I just have to not leave it 'til the last minute again. ... Not good odds, but you never know. :D
That thing I didn't really mean to start writing that I might upload for Yuletide - or, more likely, as an NYR - has ballooned from 3k to 12k. One day, I will write something short. ItO is chugging along, although I was slow last week and I'll admit I spent today and yesterday doing essentially nothing at all. :/ But I still have a couple of weeks before my internal deadline comes due, so. Should be all right. I have a vague itch to start something new, but I'm doing my best to repress it properly.
And now back to Prince Caspian. How do you always snag me, Syfy? :P
