I've been rather busy lately saving the world making Christmas cards (long, long story, but it's rather boring after you know that it was all my own fault), so while I've been watching Sanctuary, I haven't been talking about it much.



First, Fugue: ( I had several people holding my hand (figuratively) during this episode )



Second, Chimera: ( Dream Team in a Dream World )


Third, Acolyte: ( I did not see that one coming )

Okay, let's see if I can manage not to spoil anyone accidentally.

( Sanctuary: Awakenings )

( Fringe: The Day We Died )

( SGU: Gauntlet )

( Castle: Knockout )

Okay, so really, that's not all I want. I want, among other things:

1. Peanut Butter Cups
2. World Peace
3. To Beat Portal (and then get Portal 2)
4. To Finish a Fic, Any Fic.

I might be the slowest Portal player ever. I don't play very long in one sitting, and I'm unfamiliar with gaming in general, so that's definitely contributing to my overall glacial pace. Still, I think my main problem is that I want to see everything. So if there's a vent, I must explore it, even though I know it's not necessary to beat the game. If there's writing on the walls, I must read it.

And, if there's a turret in front of me, I must freak out instead of calmly walking around it. This is contributing to most of my deaths at the moment. :-)

I am currently caught up on: Castle (OMG TENSION), Sanctuary (Well, for an(other) episode about Will, it wasn't awful), Fairly Legal (what's on hulu, anyway), Community (Want more!), Doctor Who (Want more!), and Fringe (Seriously, Alt!Liv needs to do more ass-kicking, please).

This isn't a real report of my recent trip to London, but for now it'll have to suffice to say that it was wonderful. Oxford is SO pretty and charming, London has WAY too much to do for being there only three days, and AT5 was fabulous. Gotta love the power of the fangirls.

( Hero II through The Hollow Men )

First, WAY too much info about my hair.

( TL;DR--I'm Doing Things to my hair )

Okay, Sanctuary. I'm so behind on my little review-thingys. I don't know that anyone really cares if I skip some, but we'll see what we can do. :-)

( Veritas, Next Tuesday, Penance, Sleepers, and Haunted )

On a much lighter note, I really, really, really want to tie a string around Will's head to keep his mouth from gaping.

My external hard drive wouldn't give me the time of day last night. *sighs* I knew this could happen, of course, but that doesn't make it easy.

In a happier vein, if you need something fun to do, check out this article about (the myth of) tone-deafness at the BBC, and then take the How Musical Are You? quiz. You'll have to sign up/log in, but it was quite entertaining and interesting. I scored higher on some things than I thought I would, and lower in interest than I think is accurate.

The Sanctuary rewatch is proceeding quite well. :-) I've just watched the first ep of Season Two, and I'm sure I'll have thoughts later this week on it along with others. (Huggy-bear!)

So, in addition to spending time watching Sanctuary, I've been using it to help me learn how to rip DVDs and put the episodes on my iPod. It's been fun. :-) I can now create little tiny digital files... and I know how to make them show up as episodes of TV shows... in the right order! *does boogie dance of technological joy*

Let's see. I've watched 'The Five,' 'Edward,' 'Requiem,' and 'Warriors' since I last posted, I think. It's amazing how much I've forgotten from this show.

( spoilers ahoy )

Sanctuary 03x08 For King and Country ( spoilers )

I have to confess I've 1) never seen Babylon 5 before and 2) Am now obsessively watching it.* The first few eps were rough--along the same lines as the first few episodes of Stargate SG-1, a little painful.

But the PLANNING. It's really amazing to me how much forethought goes into some of the tiniest details. I've already seen this go awry, but I deeply admire the effort.

I'm just starting the third season. ( spoilers so far )

*This obsessive watch brought to you by yet another round of being sick. Thankfully, I was on vacation this time around. *headdesk*

One more thing, that you've probably already seen but made me incredibly happy this morning: They Fight Crime!

I was going to talk about how fabulous my exercising has gone the last two days, but I can't imagine how anyone else really cares for details. *g*

Let's talk about Sanctuary instead! ( spoilers for 'Trail of Blood' )
