Stuff I've been watching!

Jekyll: OMG, how hotass is Gina Bellman in this? Seriously, she's worth it all by herself.

Surface: I started watching this because I thought it had William Fichtner in it (it doesn't, that show is called Invasion) and now I am watching it for the terribadness of it.

Dead Like Me: This is our group watching show. We love George and Roxy and Rube; we uh, don't like Daisy at all; and we think that Mason is hilarious. I'm enjoying the hell out of this show, seriously. I knew I would, because Bryan Fuller has yet to miss with me, but I didn't expect to like it as much as I do Wonderfalls (also recently rewatched) and Pushing Daisies. Anyway. Thumbs up! Highly recommended!

Stuff I've been reading!
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan - I liked it! The romance felt...sort of shoehorned in and kind of Dawn of the Dead remake-y, but I liked the worldbuilding.

Did I mention Nation by Terry Pratchett? I loved, loved, LOVED this book. It's angry and grieving and biting and I loved it.

um. that's pretty much it for non ridiculous romance novels. I have The Knife of Never Letting Go set up for later.

Now I need to go figure out how to best defrost a pound of frozen turkey.

ETA: also added to Stuff I am watching! Avatar: The Last Airbender. I just finished episode 2! It makes me go <33333

How far into DLM are you? Because if you're like me, you'll hate Daisy and then wonder when she turned into your favourite character.

We just got through the episode where she tries to scam the one rich dude.

Yeah, for me it took until Nighthawks for it to happen. I loathed her initially and then suddenly, I was madly in love with Daisy. But Rube and Roxy and George have eternal love from me!

Your Fray link is broken.

I'm not entirely sure this is a problem, because I looked it up and, yes, a world of no.

Fixed! I was distracted by the aforementioned defrosting project and missed a "

But yeah, I heard the Fray covering Heartless on the radio and was like, "Bzuh?" and then "EW EW EW GET IT OFF."

That Stump cover kicks an unholy amount of ass! I've had it on repeat for like half an hour.
