Whoops, it's been a while since the last post.

Watched the House finale last night. Was not thrilled. Am trying to pull my thoughts together for a proper post about the final arc and the retrospective, and about looking back at how my online life has changed since I started watching the show and participating in that fandom.

Until then, some things that are of the good:

Vids. Found out this ( Read more... )

movie reviews, friends, life is good

Iceland and Finland! Glorious. I was in Iceland for a few days in 1998 and adored it; I'm eager to return, and Finland is high on my list too.

I haven't watched this season of House, but I look forward to your thoughts thereupon. I did love that show an awful lot for many years.

Really I am looking to visit Finland at the moment, since A is from there and it'd be wonderful to have a guide for part of the time who knows what she's doing. Iceland came up last week as a likely stopover point, and that would be a glorious bonus to the trip. We shall see what develops....

... when I appended the new text to the file it belonged to, I discovered that it should have been in past tense instead of present.

Heh, don't you love it when that happens? I've done that. ;D

Glad to know even the best are guilty of this. :) Much worse things could happen in drafting, I know.

I'm really excited for Soccer Practice at Con.Txt. That is going to be a hit. :DDD

When's your birthday? We should do something! Cookout, maybe?

I am excited that you are excited. :) Altogether it is exciting.

My birthday is at the end of July! Should totally do something. Still working on the "something" part. You know, it's still hard to top the club with all the swinging willies, ha.

Heeeee. Yes, I don't know how we could top the strip club.

I did love the end of House which clouds most of my thoughts on the episode but while I was watching I kept thinking that your idea for the finale was sooo much better.

Yay Soccer Practice! I love that vid, it cracks me up.

Hee, thanks on both counts. An ending like mine would have made a lot of people angry, judging by comments in various communities leading up to the finale, so I suppose it's just as well. But we can still go there in our heads. :)

CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!

Ahem. Anyway, I enjoyed the House finale, from a 'casual watcher' kind of standpoint - I don't have the rabid enthusiasm anymore, so I probably missed some things (I was kind of multitasking *g*) but I don't care. Plot holes - massive. But it was... fine :)

You would think in a one-room apartment it wouldn't be difficult to keep things tidy, but things keep popping up. Right now there's only the filing to do and a storage closet that I'd like to better organize and sell or give away most of the stuff that's taking up space in there, but by the time I get to those, who knows what else will need doing.

it was... fine

I'm a bit "eh" about it too. About the show in general since... oh, years ago. So it's hard to tell. Need to draft that post. Writing it will help me think it through.
