A post is a post, of coast... hmm, that may need some work

Every time I post these days I feel like I need to apologize profusely and come bearing fic--but I am not going to jinx anything by actually talking about fic here. Shhh.

I don't even want to know how long it has been. I suspect longer than I have been pet-sitting, or I would use that as an excuse. So here's some things that have happened recently:

1. Fall meetings are starting up again. This is both happy and a little scary. I will have at least one fewer night at home from now until December.

2. My laptop battery... well, it didn't quite blow up, but it did do alarming things that suggest I should probably not use it for the time being. As in, ever again. So that's fun.

3. I caught up on the teamy, wonderful, awesome goodness of Leverage! Oh, so much fun. I'm with Parker--Nate's getting creepier, but I kinda like him that way. And I also think the whole Nate/Sophie thing is cute, ridiculous, and going to blow up in their faces.

4. I have also seen a couple of eps of Necessary Roughness, which is cute, and Misfits, which is anything but, but is very interesting.

5. Awkward fannish question time! Way back in the day, one of the shows I didn't watch but secretly wanted to* was Lexx. Turns out it's available on hulu, so I watched eps 1 and 2... does it get any better? Because I'm kinda intrigued but... well, honestly, I'm a little bored.

6. I saw the new Jane Eyre movie and LOVED IT. I love Jane, and this movie made me remember why. The quips! The naivete! Her firmness in pursuing her own happiness! Plus, I love moody atmospheric things. Still don't quite know what to think about Rochester, but I think I liked him a bit better this time around.


*Most anything with hints of sex/sexual tension fell into this category--I blame it on my conservative upbringing.
