WEBSITES:
Most of the following will have to wait until I make the time to think it all through:
1. Scan/Upload clippings and other articles:
2. Reduce the overall number of files:
3. Sort out the eFiction archives:
4. Make sites mobile friendly:
5. Add items to empty albums:
Please remember to check out the GALLERY and FICTION archives for any new items/stories posted as I don't change the website UPDATE pages for these.

BOOKS/FAN STUFF **** POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT ****
FANFICTION: Mostly The Yin-Yang Master: Dream of Eternity stories this week.
BOOKS: I finished reading Faraway Wanderers by Priest and really loved it. The 'extra' at the end of Cao Weining waiting by the bridge in the afterlife for Gu Xiang had me so emotional and I loved how they got their happy ever after together in their next lives.
Still have Surviving the Evacuation Part 9: Ireland by Frank Tayell to make a start on reading.
----------------------------
MOVIES: Nothing this week
FANVIDS: Nothing this week
TV SHOWS:
Interview with the Vampire: This week's episode focused on what happened when Louis first met Daniel all those years ago. It revealed the cracks in Louis and Armand's relationship that still exist and might even be widening. It feels like Armand is always cleaning up any mess Louis makes... except for the one time when Louis stops Armand from killing the younger Daniel all those years earlier - and now we know Armand did something to make them BOTH forget part of what happened, leaving them with the same memory recalled in the exact same wording.
Judge Dee's Mystery: I managed to watch another 5-6 episodes. I have about 6-7 to go now. Every case is interesting and the fight scenes are very well done. It's a really good series
The Midnight Studio: Not seen any episodes this week but will get back to this once I finish Judge Dee.
The Walking Dead - The Ones Who Live: I need to watch this but have still not been in the mood for it as yet.
TV SHOWS STILL TO WATCH
