Isn't it delightful?

I'll have to watch it again, but I thought the Christmas special was a bit of all right! (Meghan cued up FotD/SitL right after, and you know, it all kinda works.)

Now, if anyone across the pond it going to give Dickensian a try, please let me konw what you think. Ta!

And...The Doctor is in.

What an episode.

Seriously, monkey...I really need to check in more often. But how many people are still active here, what with the lure of all the fancy-schmancy social networking advances?

Me, it's just Facebook. No tweeting, tumbling, instagramming or pinning.


Anyway, first things first...HELP!

I need to connect with someone in the Great White North, O, Canada! Specifically, anyone in Toronto, or anyone else planning to attend the Fan Expo next week. Meghan is going, and it would be great if she had someone to connect with, or at least a contact point in case of emergencies and all that jazz.

She'e travelling by train and staying in a B & B. She's really looking forward to the convention, but hasn't been to Toronto in years. Any help, advice, etc., would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What I need is to get back on track here, if for nothing else, to kvetch about work, which I can't do on Facebook.

ADDENDUM: What's the first thing I see logging on to my friends' list?? Other people posting for the first time in ages. Ha! GMTL!

Fannishly, I can geek out generally on FB all I like, but there's nothing new on that horizon. Not into zombies, horror, vampires...and the way other dramas are put together these days does not float my boat.

(Except, ask me about Wolf Hall. Wolf Hall! Or Endeavour. And I am up to date with Doctor Who.)


So much for early Saturday rambling. Hope someone can respond to my request.

Be well, everyone!

Facebook ate my life?

Specific fannish interests waning?

Dunno...


ETA:Also, I will never catch up...

Lots of friends and relations in distress. Not good, Universe.

Trying not to stress out over Mike's upcoming surgery.

Some good stuff happening...hope it lasts.


And then, in the entertainment side of life, first James Garner. Many great memories of his work. And now we've lost James Shigeta. I have had a crush on him since...good Lord, "The Outer Limits."

And here comes August, and my birthday...

So, not much with the posting, being in a fannish limbo and all.

Also I am up too early because of things.

A fair summer so far, not counting the insanity of work and the Husband's semi-annual (um every couple of years?) medical stuff. Good vibes welcome.

Don't like the changes to LJ. I kinda watch a few tumblrs, but...definitely not my thing.

Oh, and four tornadoes touched down across CNY on Tuesday, one of them deadly. We only had "straight line" winds across the city, but wow--I've never seen so much tree and power line damage at one time. And lucky right here! Huge trees down just a few houses up and down the street from our house.

And...that's all I know.

And was not much of a month. Never really felt like spring (and now it's like March or November), the only highlight being the anniversary surprise from the girls.

And now, damn it, Bob Hoskins has passed away.

I stayed up till 2 this morning reading "Raising Steam." It was...a good story. But so bittersweet. Embers, no sparks. But I'll bever say good-bye to the Disc and all its marvelous inhabitants, not when there are so many wonderful books to read over and over again.

Hope everyone out there stays safe and warm today--be careful!

Still only raining here, but we're in the "foot or more of snow" path. Maybe.

Phone calls we'll get at the library today:

"Are you closed?"

"Are you closing early?"

"When are you closing today?"

"I need to renew my books!" (Variations thereof of x infinity.)

"Will you be open tomorrow?"

Then there's the entertainment factor of people walking in the door complaining about how awful it is outside.

More fun than anyone deserves to have.

Seriously, if your last name is Case, why on earth would you name your daughter Charity?
