A Friday Shindig

[ithildin]

It's not going to be a good day when you open your email and the only two comments on your LJ are spam. The same spam as yesterday in fact! Harbinger of Doom? Maybe.

I always thought Steak and Ale pie was a way to get rid of leftover roast. But I couldn't find a single recipe that didn't call for uncooked meat. So I modified one of those recipes using my chunk-o-roast from the freezer. Tonight, just have to pour on the Yorkshire pudding topping and bake it. Then ninjababe is going to colour my hair in preparation of my haircut. Haircut and no gray! Yay!

We got caught up on Burn Notice last night. Damn, I love that show!! It is full of pure awesome.

Was reading some of the comments yesterday of people who've seen the new cut of The Source, and apparently it sucks even more than the Russian one did! Way to go, PTBs! A real accomplishment there.

And in honour of FRIDAY, the comments are open for a free for all, a rumble, a hootenanny, a shindig even! There will be comestibles and an assortment of adult beverages for you to enjoy when you visit. I'll see you there.

Burn Notice LOVE!

What's with the yogurts, do you think?

And can I say, I adore Fiona. They're doing a very good job making her a good character and not just important only as a love interest.

The yogurt, I have no idea. But Fiona, I adore! You know what I noticed last night? She's sitting on the couch next to the guy, and she's sitting like a girl who was given deportment lessons. Her back was ramrod straight, her wrists crossed in her lap, her head held up. I thought it was a curious bit of body language for her character, and Nin and I had a long discussion as to whether or not it was done on purpose.

She's done it a couple times. I don't know if it is the actress or just something that is part of the character --who knows, maybe Fiona was sent to finishing school? We don't know anything about her youth. Of course, she's trained to do whatever she has to, so I'd be surprised if at some point she hadn't learned etiquette stuff to blend in at whatever social level she needed to.

I'm so thrilled, too, that they dealt with the sex thing early in the life of the show -- now it'll be focused on the other issues, not just the Michael/Fiona "when will they do it" question. And they followed it up with a second episode that dealt nicely with it, too!

Love!!
