Merlin (the character) has really goofed this time. Never, never trust a little kid with eyes that blue (Damien, anyone?). This show could go on forever with the way they’ve set up the bits and pieces of the legend, and I quite like it this way. Sure, I’d rather have Lancelot stayed around in a featured role, but I like this quick-glimpse formula. Good week.
I’m going to go out on a limb as say that SGA sucked. I watched the first few minutes, the last few minutes and fast-forwarded through the rest. Michael, hostages, blah blah blah. Even though Michael may actually be dead (a couple years too late), I can’t care. Pity, really.
Now that Primeval (which I love, btw) has finished its run and Merlin is wrapping up, Saturdays are going to be terribly boring for a while. Robin Hood isn’t starting anytime soon and I’m dreading the weeks of no new shows to love.
In the last two weeks I managed to live through two school trips unscathed. Score! Ooh, and this morning, I got to have a nice coffee date with my Dad and Jamie. I’m such a sucker for seasonal promotions. I had the Pumpkin Spiced Latte and a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin–and a lot of fun.

Well, now. At the risk of spoiling people with the title, I just have to say,
( Whoo hoo! 'Bout time! )
Heroes was loopable again this week. “Have you met their mother?” Hee! Sylar shows up, busts some asses for 2.3 seconds and I’m happy with life again. Yes, I’m glad I’m still onboard this one! 
Mom made up for the phone thing with biscuits, apple butter, and bacon. Yummmmy.

Am I the only one in America who’s not interested in The Dark Knight? There is absolutely no chance that I’ll see it in a theater, and there’s little chance that I’ll even dl it. I’m sure it’s actually, you know, dark, as in brightness, and that doesn’t bode well for dl’s. Meh. Just tell me what happens and it will be as good as being there….better even.
SGA is on tonight. Whoop-de-doo. I used to love Fridays for that very reason, but this is a Keller ep, so, Bah! Maybe I’ll hold today’s recordings of Voyager and watch them later instead. Hey, either way, it’s a Picardo kind of night, no? 
My grandmother came out of her surgery much better for it. They removed some clots and infection and she’s on her way home. Dad said we might try to make Mom go out for steak tonight, and I certainly hope we do. There’s a new dish at Texas Steakhouse I want to try:
Coffee Rubbed Steak Skillet: Mesquite-grilled filet tips hand-seasoned with ground coffee and Texas spices served sizzlin’ hot over chipotle BBQ red-eye gravy on a bed of red bliss potatoes, sautéed mushrooms and spicy roasted corn ‘n peppers. Garnished with fresh sliced jalapeños for that added kick.
Yum.

You know what I’ve found? When I have vid recs in the queue for Fanvid-Recs, I feel too guilty to post here. I just added six recs and now I feel free.
I’m watching S2E2 of Torchwood and if it’s as good as S2E1, I’m going to be very glad. Others have said plenty about James Marsters’ trip to Cardiff, and I don’t have much to add, but I’ll agree with the fact that there seems to be an abundance of Jack kissing this series, and, well, YAY! I wasn’t the biggest fan of Series 1, but so far, so good.
I’m in a bit of a conundrum with regards to my television viewing schedule for tonight; new Project Runway/premiere of RW/RR Challenge: The Gauntlet III . I can’t stay up until midnight to watch both, but I can’t pick which one to watch tonight. It really is like Sophie’s Choice. Really.
Oh, one more thing. PRODUCT WARNING: Do NOT buy Pillsbury Reduced Fat Cinnamon Rolls. It’s like someone took some plain canned biscuits to a class of kindergarteners and let them shove little chunks of cinnamon into them with their paws. Blech. The name alone-Cinnamon ROLLS- suggests, I dunno, ROLLS of some kind. I don’t get it.
Ben and Jesse made it down for my first ever New Year’s Bash. Yes, bash is too strong a word, but it was still great. The menu turned out to be quite an eclectic group of nibbly things. We had three types of hummus, warm pita, taco fiesta dip, salsa con queso and bean dip, veggie taquitos, pizza rolls, cheese sticks, cheese balls, celery, Mom’s homemade biscuits (my personal fave), ham, and for the meat eaters- little smokie pigs in blankets and the vegetarian, veggie weiner pigs in blankets. I made a pumpkin pudding trifle and a Reece’s dessert. We have so much food left. Come get some food. Please.
Hobbit spent much of the night being a lot more sociable than usual, but Istar must have fallen asleep under the bed; we didn’t see much of him at all. Even though Ben and Jesse were missing Jonas, they were great to Da Hobb–Ben didn’t even step on her 
We watched the ball drop, The Doctor Who Christmas Special, bits of a Radiohead performance, Di’s amazing vid “Scattered” (after finding out the lead singers of Radiohead and Muse are brothers), and some Project Runway episodes.
The forecast calls for up to a foot of snow, or alternately, flurries. I tend to believe the flurry forecast because we are looking at the bluest skies I’ve seen in a while. I’m still hoping for snow to go along with the cold.
