Mondays are Awesome, Really (Okay, maybe not really)

[holdouttrout]

I am trying out a new positive reinforcement system for the universe. Maybe if I say that Mondays are awesome enough times, it will become true, no?

The experiment might have to start next week, though, because the fatigue and ugh-ness of yesterday carried over to today, despite me trying to fend it off with a nap yesterday and a decent bedtime. So far, my possible diagnoses include: mono, anemia, and the common cold (No, I did NOT spend the morning googling "fatigue." I don't know what you're talking about). Anyway, I have to see the doctor soon anyway, so if it's still around in a couple of days, I'll get it checked out.

In other news, I'm completely taken with Legend of the Seeker. I'm... sorry? This was a total surprise to me, because although I intended to pick it up sometime, I wasn't expecting to fall head over heels. IT'S SO PRETTY, GUYS. I'm noticing a lot of things I like a lot, like how the main female character is totally competent! And guest roles actually contain nuance! AND DID I MENTION IT'S PRETTY?

The only thing that is making me roll my eyes (aside from some of the acting, which really, considering this is a syndicated-type show a la Xena, isn't THAT bad), is the cliche of the Doomed Love That Can Never Be (in almost so many words, too). I find this surprising, because that's one of my favorite cliches like, EVER. Maybe it's because they started it so early--it's fairly obvious that These Two Are Destined And Yet Their Love is Forbidden right from the start. Maybe it's just because it comes accompanied at the moment by glistening tears. (I think/hope that's temporary.) Maybe I'm just Over That at the moment. (This is unlikely.)

ANYWAY, I'M IN LOVE. FEAR ME.

(So far, I haven't gone looking for fic. I have this FEELING that most of it will be TERRIBLE. I did, however, write really terrible Sue-fic in my head last night while waiting to fall asleep. I deny everything.)
