Finally watching the finale of Bones.

Show, you hold my heart in your hands like a small bird.

Also, I wish they hadn't shown these episodes back-to-back. Partly it made the time frame seem wicked compressed in a weird way, and partly it was sort of a weird turnaround in emotions and themes and plot in far too short a span of time.

I seriously love "let's all get drunk together" episodes of TV shows.

I've recently fallen utterly in love with Parks and Recreation. It took me way too long to come around - in my defense, I'd never liked Amy Poehler in anything, and I didn't like that it was a knock-off of The Office; I was utterly wrong on the first part and still kind of wish they at least referred to a camera crew - but now I am completely in ( Read more... )

I don't know if any of you have read A GAME OF THRONES, by George R. R. Martin (whose Rs, unlike J.R.R.

Irrelevant to the title of this post (I have very few reflections on 2010: it was, for the most part, a great year. As for 2011, I hope it brings me a job and just as much fun, but I really hate that number for bizarre and unexplained reasons ( Read more... )

Sorry I've been rather absent lately - I've been reading, but I haven't had anything to say!
