Am finally doing the post I've been meaning to do for the past, like, two - two and a half weeks.
I swear - November was crazy, good crazy - but still crazy, and when Thanksgiving was over, I swear, I was like, "*takes deep breath* *exhales deep breath* *blinks* When the hell did it get to be the week before Christmas?"
But all my gifts are bought. The cards and packages that needed to be mailed were sent out on Saturday. And I only have two or three more gifts to wrap and one more card to buy. So, I feel very good about that.
Let's see...what else?
I went up to NYC with a group from Curves to see How the Grinch Stole Christmas on Broadway on the third. Lots of fun.
I finally finished off the fourth season of "Alias". (I had missed the last two episodes in the original run, but knew what happened and watched about half of the fifth season - the finishing of which is next on my "tv on dvd" list.)
And I finally watched the "fall finale" of "Prison Break". I thought it was a good episode and eternalmusings had to put up with me saying, "They're eye-fucking!" And the ending - *dude*!
I saw The Nativity Story with some friends last Friday. And while it is a very familiar story, it was still rather neat to see it put into a visual context.
And I've been reading fic like crazy lately too. Mostly short ficlets lately. And, so, I have some recs.
Atlantis, Baby by nishatalitha; G; also beautifully written, but - character death
Lost in Waiting by Lacey McBain; NC-17; Virgin!John fic
An Affair to Remember - McShep Style by Tira Nog; NC-17; see title
Not Yet, Not Ever by vccv; R-ish, light NC-17; this is a very beautifully written piece that I think you should all read - SGA fen or not, slashers or not.
