I've been watching this show from the pilot with David, and Eleanor came on board somewhere around S3 and caught up then became a Jeffster fan of epic proportions.

We just finished watching the final, with E and I getting sniffly and squeeful at intervals.

Can't believe it's gone, but it wrapped up nicely.

Pineapple, guys.

Time to leave the building.

More screencaps, but his character is 'flying back to LA' so that might be it for a while.

It's been sixteen years since I was a civil servant, but sometimes it comes clawing to the surface.

I was sorting through all the paperwork connected to my writing, filed in folders, kind of messily, when the madness hit me and I rushed off to Staples.

SEE! SEE!

The year folders vary in color (yellow, red, green, purple) and are tabbed in blue. Within each year is a blue folder for each publisher, tabbed in green.

I will have to go back to Staples because I ran out of green tabs so the last one is in blue, which will never do.

IT IS AWESOME.

Sadly, my family is unimpressed.

I think it's that last tab being the wrong color...once that's fixed, well...::prepares to be fawned upon by them::

I'm looking at free apps for David's Playbook. Some are okay, some are JUST SILLY. I mean, they're up there with the Aquarium Channel.

One measures acceleration -- on a ROLLERCOASTER. Yes, because I would totally take my expensive gadget high up in the air and then look at it as I was whirled hither and yon, screaming.

The other -- and I cannot get over this one -- turns the screen into a picture of a heating element like you'd have on a stove top so you can decide where one would look good on your kitchen surface.

It warns you that you can't actually cook on it.

I'm boggled.

but my fingers are tired...

wesleysgirl and I are nearly at the end of the book we began in early December, 'Rock and a Hard Place' and writing up a storm. Should finish it in a day or two then it's the fun of editing and realizing just what actually happened, because it gets written full steam ahead, heads down, racing for the finish line, heh.

Tally has gained weight! From 5.7 on Thursday to 6.6 pounds today -- and that was just after he'd done a Big Wee.

He hasn't pooped for a long long time though but maybe he needs everything that's going in? I'll speak to the vet on Monday anyway. I saved him one visit by removing his old pain patch myself, under strict instructions not to touch it. It took about thirty secs and was easy-peasy so I'm really glad I didn't drag him down there for it on a cold, snowy day. I wonder why I wasn't to touch it after Tally's worn it for days and it was spent? Germs? A contact high? I'm curious :-)

RB had two scenes and some deliciously snarky banter in the second. Hearing him say he'd rock my world was a nice moment ;-)

The place where they make Fanboy and Chum Chum has a fanboard where they stick up the best pieces of fanart they find online to inspire them and Eleanor made it!!!

She's on the bottom row, third from the right as you look at it, under the pic with the hearts.

She's bouncing up and down here :-)

I just timed that Subway infommercial that took place during the actual episode of Hawaii Five-0, masquerading as a Steve/Kono/Kamekona scene.

It starts at 16.23, finishes at 17.13.

That's a minute, give or take.

A WHOLE FREAKING MINUTE.

The episode is only 43.14.

I resent this trend so much of subtly (hahahhahah) working in a plug for something and having the characters endorse it. I'm seeing it on lots of shows now and I want it stopped before people stop minding it.

I like Subway. I love their foot-long deals that give me two lunches.

I don't love them in the middle of an episode, shoehorned unnaturally in making me lose all respect for the show and pity the writers/actors.

It really rubs it in that the commercials are the juicy meat and the show just the moldy bread as far as the networks care.

This feels like the bulletins when the Queen is ill :-)

Tally is back home with a pain patch on that will see him through to Thursday, though he'll be going back in tomorrow to be checked over.

They think it was a clot that burst rather than him chewing because the sutures were all there. His front paw is bandaged.

He's very groggy and woozy and fast asleep for now.

Thanks for all the good wishes when I was freaking out this morning.

::hugs::

Thank you for all the comments yesterday and the lovely v-gift jaekayelle. I will answer them later; yesterday I was just in too much of a fret to concentrate on anything.

Encouraging news today, post-op!

Sue just called and said he was eating well and came through the operation to remove some toes very well. She's such a sweetie to take him home with her last night (not that her own cat agrees ;-)). I can pick him up later this morning. I volunteer at L's school on Fridays, prepping breakfasts for the kids who come in hungry, so it'll be around 11.30, and she says I can call any time over the w/e if I'm worried.

His back paw is still tender, but not bleeding and she's going to leave it uncovered or with only a loose cover to protect it. Front paw bled a bit so he howled getting that bandage off.

He'll be on pain meds, more antibiotics.

Fingers and whiskers crossed.
