I tried to take a break from LJ there, to concentrate on other writing. But all that happened was I started writing entries longhand in notebooks, which meant it took longer and now I can never find what I'm looking for when I go back over it.

Things have been busy in real life over here. Some people reading this will already know that I'm having a

First of all, oooh, I do love seeing myself mentioned. :)

And that you took my tip and are enjoying FNL, than which there is really nothing like. Not a perfect show, but over the 5 season run, so much of it is so excellent that the few bad decisions of the writers just fade out of memory.

Second, yes, I knew you were expecting, but so nice to read some of the details, and to garner some of your excitement! Hooray!

I wish you and H both a happy healthy prosperous and love-filled 2012.

Thanks! Yeah we're just three-quarters of the way through season one, and the acting is so amazing I don't understand how it didn't win every award going. Excellent recommendation as always!

The thing about FNL that most stands out for me is that it's the only show -- and that includes my adored Buffy and all -- that ever makes me cry. I cried at all the season finales. And I'm not generally a cryer, some people are, but not me. Yet the characters in that show get so down deep in you, and wind up meaning so much, that you really feel for them and with them.

I'll warn you that there are some bad plot lines in s2, due to interference from the network execs who had stupid ideas about what the show should be about, but bear with them -- once they're dispensed with, the show gets back to doing what it ought for the rest of the run.

when she allowed herself to order a small undecaffeinated coffee the other day the waiter refused to serve her. ‘It's all right, we're giving it up for adoption,’ I yelled, in a fury.

HA!

Seriously? I thought Americans were patronising busybodies, but refusing a pregnant woman a coffee? WTFF?

[wwidsith]

Right?? And yet it seems perfectly accepted for pregnant women here to allow themselves a cigarette a day.

You live!!!! You multiply!!!!! Yay! Congratulations to you both :-D
