Somehow there's only a week of winter break left. Not only do I have no idea where the break went, I have very little to show for it. My (extensive) stack o' books didn't even get any shorter.


The holidays were largely DVD/media related. When all is said and done, I ended up with V: The Series, Smallville season 1, Quantum Leap season 1, and Forever Knight season 2. Except the latter, which I bought for myself with birthday money, the others were on my Amazon wishlist just because. The shows don't particularly interest me except in the sense of being able to throw out some more VHS tapes. I'm surprised the family chose these and not, oh, say, Buffy 7 or Angel 5. Perhaps they figured I already had them, because they certainly bought me a lot of other Buffy related things.

The last few days have been sacrificed to the computer game gods. Also, the mp3 gods. Because of rewatching FK2, I got the bug in my ear to update the CERK radio archives (a cassette tape of everything LaCroix ever said on air and a few things he didn't, all strung together, plus my Unnamed version of Queen's "Who Wants to Live Forever"). The files, save for one that I seem to have lost, have now all been converted to mp3 and burned to CD, so I can again listen to them obsessively in my car. "Life is a gift . . ."



Also because of FK2, I went--again--searching for good Nick&Schanke fic. Found several archives that are largely unnavigable, and completely unhelpful. Somehow segued from FK to Angel and started searching for post-NFA Connor stories. To my utter surprise, someone else thought he should have been spun off after Angel ended. Unfortunately the virtual season is all on LJ , so the navigation is a little awkward. Though the first couple of episodes are a little thin, they're quite well-written. Consider this a rec for The Destroyer a Connor and Faith, post-NFA, virtual series available at orlon_window community.


Also, tptigger is the absolute coolest. She fulfilled one of my Wishlist requests and wrote me this story. Now I just need to help her find a title so she can post this to the list.

In closing: happiness is a warm cat in your lap on a cold day.

ETA: Happy belated birthday to trinalin. Hope it was a good one.
