I am WEAK.
I caved. I did it. I bought my Christmas present. I only allow myself to "splurge" 2 days of the year - my birthday and Christmas. My birthday this year I bought myself Bones season 3. For Christmas I was eagerly awaiting ordering season 2. So I found a great price tracking Firefox add-on (The Camelizer!) and checked it out on Amazon to discover it's only $19.99! Camelizer shows that being the lowest price yet, with prices likely to skyrocket after Thanksgiving. So I grabbed it while I could. I caved. I bought it. Heeeee! It was actually hard not to add on Season 1 as well. Only problem is now I'm set to get that by next week and nothing to squee over at Christmas. Why doesn't Amazon offer delayed shipping?
Anyways, I still have a couple requests to fill out (thank you for the enthusiastic response, guys! I needed the inspiration), PLUS I've now signed up for the XF Advent Calendar (it's back! It's back! Squeeeeeeeeee!!!!). Don't know what I was thinking. But you all need to sign up as well. C'mon, guys, it's a holiday tradition!
Aaaaaaand, of course there have been shows. Bones was frickin' awesome. Booth's grandfather was such a character. Loved him. Steel ovaries! That whole exchange was priceless. The whole episode was kinda pointless, but it was FUN and CUTE and SHIPPY and that's enough for me. ;) The way Bones stared at Booth watching his grandfather = glee. Now if only next week can get here faster. Also, bonus fic rec: The Beauty and The Tragedy, by BrainySmurf6. Deep, dark, and angsty (to the point it may be triggering), but with a wonderful payoff that I love. One of those fics I can't wait to get home to continue. Shattered, by the same author, is also great but sadly unfinished.
As for Waters of Mars...WTF, y'all. I mean, it was actually quite a powerful performance all around. I actually loved the guest star lady (I'm so great with names), and it was so powerful when he's walking away, listening to them all die, and it is Tennant PWNING that role like no one else can when he comes back all Time Lord Victorious. But...WTF, y'all. At the end? That's not my Doctor. That's not a Doctor I recognize. I mean, he's had his moments before...several of them, where he's dark, and deadly, and uncaring. But this somehow seemed so completely out of character. It just doesn't sit right, for a reason I can't put my finger on. It doesn't fit in my mythos. Anyways, slight perturbation there at the end, but otherwise a very memorable episode, and a fantastic run-up to the end (which OMG, I am now both fearing and freaking over more than ever). Have I mentioned New Years will kill me? Because New Years will kill me. Way to start the new year right, BBC. Gah.
Aaaaand, I've been trying to keep up with my other shows. My DVR filled and deleted the pivotal House episode where Cameron left (Chase, you're killing me, here. Why can a couple never have a happy ending? If I shipped anything on House it was that). I know I can watch it on Hulu, but I don't know if I want to. I don't know why I keep watching this train wreck, but I do. And why can't House get his act together and stop being an *sshole again? I knew the premiere House wouldn't last. I know, I know, it's not House if he's not an *sshole, but it's getting really tiring.
I'm also watching Castle and Glee, but don't have much to say there. Entertaining, but I have no deeper thoughts. I'm so tired of baby drama on Glee. Although maybe that's my general aversion to baby drama.
I'm spending Thanksgiving at a friends house (need to make mashed potatoes tonight, eee!), then work Friday and should hear back from the doggy daycare about the job. I think it's in the bag. But I never trust it until it happens. Also, woot for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
