Catching Up-iness
HEY. Hi there. Hello. I feel like all I have done in the last six weeks is write fic. ... OH WAIT.
No actually, between Nano-ing and recovering from Nano-ing and drabble-ing and writing fic for sexy_right's upcoming Hard for the Holidays challenge, I've actually done other stuff, too. Work, for one. My friend Amy and I took over the Xmas Toy Drive this year, where we solicit cash donations so we can go out and buy toys for needy kids. At first it was super disheartening hearing "no no no" from everyone and their dog, but my drivers really pulled through and in the end we raised $1050! We filled a van with toys. The people at the shelter were so happy.
I am all done my Xmas shopping, wheeee! Everything is wrapped and gift-bagged, I made a few cards this year and mailed them out, and my Little Tiny Tree O' Joy is proudly displayed on my entertainment unit. I even got my first card (MUAH, Snick!) which features adorable Xmas kitties and a wish for a holiday free of Grubers. Yes, I would like to be terrorist and thief-free for the holidays. :)
OH. And my Christmas present to MEEEEE has arrived... a gorgeous Live Free or Die Hard poster. MMMMYES. It is hanging on the wall at my left side as I type. HI GIANT BRUCE. HELLO. *stares and gets distracted*
Also.
SPN -- I still haven't watched the last episode. I KNOW. I kinda had it on, but my friend Amy had called and I was more interested in chatting. And what does that say about this season? Oh my. I don't know if it's because Cas is my favourite character and I just don't care as much now that he's gone, or if it's because I thought the leviathan storyline had so much potential and then it just kinda fizzled and has gone nowhere (though I do love Dick)... or if it's a combination of both things. I just find myself turning it on every week and then having to struggle to remember what even happened in the previous episode. I'm sad about that.
Much much much happier with The Walking Dead, which has had an awesome first half of the second season. The hunt for Sophia kinda dragged, but Daryl continues to rule the show by being a kickass woobie with emotional issues out the wazoo. The more I think about Daryl and Carol the more I'm kinda sorta okay with the show going there, as long as they take it slow and let them continue along the way they've been going for a while. (I actually watched an interview with Norman Reedus where he talks about how he told the writers he wants them to put Daryl and Glenn together. HEEEEE. Oh Norman. Thank you for pandering to us fangirls.) Regarding the mid-season finale -- I CRIED. It wasn't so much that Sophia was a walker, it was just the reactions on the faces of our little group of survivors. So much shock, horror, sadness... just brilliantly acted by *everyone*. I had considered that Sophia might be in the barn and then had rejected the idea, because it's just so cruel of Hershel and his creepy farm folk to have KNOWN that our survivors were looking for a little girl and not to have TOLD them. Just... UGH. Looking very much forward to the return of the series in February.
And tonight is, thankfully, the last time that I have to watch the stupid New Girl, since it's Justin Long's last appearance. He actually was sweet and adorable in his final scenes in the last ep, but Zooey is just so RIDICULOUS that it ruins anything good. I literally sit there with a raised-lip-sneer look of horror on my face, I can't even tell you. I don't know how this show gets so much critical praise, I really don't. Never thought I'd wish for Justin NOT to be on something again so much. LOL
So that's what I've been up to. How YOU doin'?
OH. And please, no spoilers for SPN or The Walking Dead or the TWD comics. Just in case.
