I do in fact live. Probably.

1. I am officially hired. This has meant I've spent the last two weeks getting another person's work and trying to square it away and I sort of abandoned everything but reading bad novels and awful fanfic.

2. This does, in fact, mean that while I surfaced at one point, I haven't actually read my flist in... almost a month? I think? I don't even know. I could probably try tracking my last comment. (which means, give me all the fic and stuff, because I wants it)

3. It does not, however, mean that I am unaware that MOTIVE IS BACK AND ANGIE AND BETTY ARE STILL THE BEST OMG. um. It is the only thing I'm keeping up on (even if I'm two weeks behind as of tonight). Still. Angie and Oscar and Betty are back! EEEEeeee! (and there was the BEST SCENE EVER in 3x1 involving alcohol in the morgue). Also, it continues to delight in Vancouver actors that have been in EVERYTHING ELSE EVER. Also, Ally Sheedy.

4. I managed to go four months without watching Last Christmas. Not for any specific reason? I don't know why. I just didn't. But I watched it night before last and it was charming (and perhaps I will have more to say at some point after I rip all of season 8 as audio and listen over and over and over and my brain melts. but whatever). Mostly, I want all the Shona fic.

5. I... don't think there's anything else going on in my life right now? Oh. I know. I'm really digging Versant's little LP or whatever they call those these days. Out of Touch is probably my favorite track.

Congratulations!

It'll be easier once everything is set the way that works best for you.

Aw, congrats!! I'm glad. I hope things improve a bit, too. :-)

I'm glad you liked Last Christmas, too. I enjoyed it as well, though it's been a while so it's all hazy in my head at this point. (Perhaps I'm dreaming). There was a Shona prompt for [livejournal.com profile] dw_guestfest, but sadly nobody wrote it. And if you want fic, the rest of that fest happened, there might be something else nice in there for you? I don't know.

Yay for hired! :-)

re: listening: Thanks to Big Finish releasing everything I ever wanted to listen to (well, not quite, but nearly) while I'm in the middle of re-listening to Jago & Litefoot seasons 1-8 (in prep for season 9 out this month), I'm now spoiled for choice on listening material. I intend to culminate all the listening with Damaged Goods, which seems to be getting really good reviews.

And when Paddington (the movie) gets out on Blu-Ray, then I'll finally have Last Christmas to rewatch. (The sacrifices I make for free shipping...)

Yay!

Congrats on the hire!

As for Last Christmas? I still haven't watched it. We're still a bit behind on 12... we just finished the bank one, about... a month ago?

NuWho is entertaining, but it just doesn't hold the same grip on me as OldSkool did.

I could easily sit down and watch an episode every day or two OS, but NS, I can't. It's just too busy, flashy, and just.. I dunno.
