1) I seem to be posting a lot about food. Lovely, lovely food! Today I got another batch of sweet potatoes (for the dogs) and tomatoes (for us) going in the dehydrator, made pesto from a big bunch of basil our housesitter left for us (from the Cook's Illustrated recipe, which I've never tried before), made Mediterranean chickpea salad from a recipe I found in the New York Times (excellent - I think it's the bit of toasted cumin seed in the dressing), and bought the supplies to make no-bake blueberry cheesecake bars (another NYT recipe) and peach freezer jam this weekend.
2) I apologize to those of you who still like SGA, but AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! S5 has been such a seething mass of suck that I say good riddance. I loved Elizabeth Weir and I will never forgive TPTB for what they did to her (even before the travesty that was "The Ghost in the Machine"). NEVER EVER EVER.
3) My current obsession: Joker/Harley Quinn fic. So if you have anything to recommend...
4) My greatest score at the Freeport outlets was $400 worth of Cuddledown sheets for $100. (We switched to a king-size bed this year, and damn, king sheets are expensive.) They feel like butter! I wanted the dark red for BtVS-related reasons, but I couldn't find all the pieces I needed in that color so I settled for a very pretty dark blue-green.
ETA: 5) Bryan Clay, Olympic decathlon gold medalist: VERY ATTRACTIVE, yes? YES.
