Neal makes my heart hurt...
I'm kind of caught up on my TV watching, the stuff I watch alone that is.
White Collar: On The Fence Wow. I really don't know how I'm going to handle next week's episode. And what sucks is that I leave for my inlaws late afternoon on Tuesday so there is a chance I won't be able to watch it until .... ugh, a long time.
This season has hurt me, seriously. The battle that Neal is having with himself is painful to watch. It's as though he is being torn in two - Mozzie and taking the treasure and Peter and helping others. And when he lied to Mozzie last week about the list, I thought that was perhaps the turning point. I think he may have tried to find a way to talk Mozzie out of it, or let Mozzie go on alone, but now that Mozzie sold the paining (which is on the list Peter has) - things are very messed up.
We saw a new side to Mozzie this week when he put the hit out on Keller. It was interesting, it makes you see why he's lasted so long on the outside of the law. Not that Mozzie is violent, but that he can be so serious and calm. And to see Mozzie's reaction to learning of Neal's lie - that was hard. But Neal is freaked out, he needs to save himself and Mozzie. I really don't understand how he will be able to do it. He is falling apart and I fear that Peter will not be there for him, all Peter will see is that Neal lied. And while Neal said over and over, "he didn't steal the art", that is true, but I think Peter asked at one point "do you know who did" and that's when Neal lied and said no.
I think Neal was stringing Mozzie along trying to find a way to make everyone happy. I don't think he would have left. Each week he helps Peter fight the bad guys, puts himself in danger, this just does not seem to be a man who is looking for a way out. Maybe I'm romanticizing it too much. I just want Peter and Neal to be friends, for Neal to be a part of Peter's family. Is that too much to ask?? *g*
Leverage is fun. I love Hardison, Eliot and Parker - could care less about Nate. The other three make my day so I will continue to tune in. This week was particularly lovely, but I do wish there was some kind of hug, or concern toward Eliot (ok, there was at the bar, but before that *g*).
Been reading some fanfic, nothing awesome to rec though, which is sad. There is one Merlin fic that I liked a lot but the end was eh. And that seems to happen a lot with Merlin fic, halfway through I'm thinking, oh wow, this is great. By the end I'm not thinking the same thing.
Speaking of fic - for those with an iPad, I'm having problems getting my PDFs into my reader. The PDFs are downloaded from my email, as I send it to myself, but instead of allowing me to "open in PDF reader" it just opens. But I want it in the reader so I don't have to worry about getting a WiFi connection or using the data plan. I suppose it's not a huge deal as I have the data plan, but before I was able to Open in PDF reader. Maybe that was because I was finding the fic on the iPad.
I have next week off from work. We leave Tuesday afternoon for my inlaws, then a quick visit with Mr KA's grandmom, then to his sister's. We're with my SIL-J from Wednesday afternoon through Saturday morning. Here's hoping the 6 plus hour drive goes alright. I don't allow the DVD player to run the whole time, the kids needs to try and entertain themselves, but LM#2 gets rammy and starts pulling at his straps like he can't stand to be in the seat anymore. And that is on a two hour drive. So... yeah. I will be armed with goodies to munch on, DVD's when I can't stand it anymore and music. It will get easier once LM#2 is a little older so he talk and we can play games or something. I am looking forward to being away from work.
Mr KA and I have a date night on Saturday and we're going to see Cowboys & Aliens, I'm sooo looking forward to it. :)
