ain't got nothing but plenty of time
This morning at 10:00 my doorbell rang, which is unusual. It was my letter carrier, and I was going to ignore it, but then I decided I would go see what she wanted even though I was still in my pajamas. And I'm glad I did, because she was attempting to deliver my annual box of Indian River Honeybells, and she wasn't going to leave them because she was afraid they would freeze. Bless that woman. But I rescued them from her mail truck, and I have already eaten one, and despite the terrible citrus season this year it was as delicious as ever. So right away it's a good day.
I actually almost got a little choked up at the end. Not quite, but there was a tiny little bit of emotion welling up in my cold, bitter heart. It is sort of the end of an era, after all, and I've had a long and complex history with this show, but I have to say that I enjoyed this episode. The case felt very much like 'classic' CSI, and I think Lawrence Fishburne is just about the best casting idea ever. I kind of wish they'd been more subtle about bringing him on full-time instead of Grissom's, 'hey, you want a job?', but whatever. I don't expect much from the writers these days. Helps save my sanity, frankly.
At one point I actually said aloud to my computer screen, "Oh, Nick." No lie. He's just so sweet and vulnerable and he really did see Grissom as his father, and I'm sad for him that Grissom's leaving. But I'm really happy that it's happening at a time when Nick's finally (finally) at a stable place in his relationship with Greg, so he has someone he can lean on to help him through the loss. And Greg's grown so much these past few years, even though I do miss the spark that he had as a lab tech which has been so muted by all the horrors he's seen out in the field. Grissom's right: the field has changed him, and not always for the better, but he's at a good place in his life now. It's nice to see.
I am choosing to take Greg saying "You changed my life" just before Nick walked into the scene as a subtle comment on Nick and Greg's entire relationship throughout the series. ::adjusts tin hat::
See how I made this entire episode about Nick and Greg's relationship? It's a talent.

You guys, I am going to Minnesota this summer and I am really excited about it this morning, for some reason. While I'm there I am finally going to get the tattoo olukemi drew for me done, and it's going to be awesome. Perhaps I am fixating on my summer vacation because it's 20 degrees right now. I am currently regretting my decision not to buy a winter coat this year.
And now I am going to head to the pottery studio for a couple hours of practice, because I would like to be less terrible in class tomorrow. Though even if I end this class without really getting it, I am going to keep at it. I think this is a hobby I would like to continue indefinitely.
