I finally got around to watching the first episodes of the new seasons for NCIS and Hawaii Five-0 tonight. Which, given that I can't have idle hands while I watch TV... it's just never worked for me.

It is astonishingly rare that I get my travel to the location, time at the location (dealing with customers and with everything else around), payment, time dealing with actual client, and travel from the location to all go flawlessly... today was such a day ( Read more... )
