This morning Younger Sister and Roommate and their old college roommate drove down to southern California to visit some friends and stuff, so I have the house to myself until Monday night (when Roommate gets back). I did a little tidying (mostly running the dishwasher, because much wine was drunk and they all made rice krispy treats, both of which make dishes) and then had delicious tortellini with my sister's homemade pasta sauce of awesome. Then I made Jello instant pudding (I know my gourmet skills impress you so) so that was tasty.
I then watched a few season 1 Bones episodes and
seriously, while I actually like Cam a lot, I really miss the potential that they had with Goodman as a character. He had such chemistry with Brennan and Hodgins especially... he has a good dynamic with Booth too. Though it's the dialogue exchange with Zach in A Boy in a Bush ("...apparently all Angela needed was to hear her job description in a deep African-American tone.") just about killed me. Also, I am amused by Booth's Amazing Instant Son! I'm unsure whether they added Parker in later to give Booth some depth, or if they didn't think he needed mentioning? I just would have thought with the whole foster kid situation Booth's son could have deserved a mention. Oh well.
I could get into the whole mishandling of Zach and how seeing his family visit him at Christmas kind of breaks my heart... but that's a whole other issue.
It was so super hot for a couple days, and I had this impulse to write about how heatwaves can drive a variety of people crazy. I wanted especially to write a drabble in Bones and Criminal Minds and, amazingly, it happened! I am shocked when sometimes I had an urge to write a specific thing and sit down... and do it. I mean, I sat down and wrote it out long hand and then typed it and edited and then there it was. Honestly, sometimes the story just sort of pours out (which sounds kind of crazy and hippy, that the story "fell from my fingers" or something like that) and happens and it's super cool and exciting. So, long story short, go read
Exothermic Reactions and see how elementary!verse John and Rodney, Rusty and Danny, Booth and Brennan, Prentiss and Reid and Morgan, and Fraser and Kowalski all deal with the ick of summery heat. It definitely cheered me up, so hope you enjoy it!
